What a beautiful episode. This show is my favourite of the season no doubt. It has so much room to explore as an original anime. I have no clue how this ends

I mentioned this in passing a couple of weeks ago, and this episode really drove it home - I think the overall theme of this series could be said to be "earn your iyashikei."

It is an iyashikei in the long run - it's comfy and soothing and heart-warming. But none of it's just handed out for free. You (and Yachiyo) have to work for it.

The hunt for a replacement part got genuinely scary for a bit there, and then the way she finally found it was sad and touching and beautiful. And that's more or less the way an awful lot of the series has gone - things end up relatively comfy and soothing and heart-warming in the long run, but it's rarely easy getting there. But in a way that just makes it that much more satisfying.

I really love this series, and I suspect it's going to remain a sentimental favorite for years to come.

She is dying…

You can't hit me like that with character growth:

Her whole journey I was preparing myself for the worst. Then, just when I am finally feeling ok, she hits me with that line. For an episode that had remarkably few spoken lines of dialog, that was an effective one.

I do wonder about the whole parts-compatibility issue. There's a tendency when you're constructing an electronic device today to standardize on common hardware and interfaces as much as possible, because it makes manufacturing cheaper. I would have expected the male and female humanoid-hotelier-bots, at minimum, to be distinguished only by cosmetics and programming, not functional hardware. I suppose the parts from the bots in the robot graveyard could have been damaged by improper storage, but still . . .

(Also, I was suspicious of that "horse" from the beginning, because equine facial marking Just Don't Look Like That.)

A trojan, if you will

I just caught up and this show has been an absolute gem.
