Still not sure if I want to continue this one. It has some funny moments at least. The opening song is pretty painful though, super off-key.
It's an odd choice. The animation for the OP is fantastic, but the song is really not to my taste. It is clearly deliberate as aiko has done other anisongs and they have been more typical (she also does the ED for this show).
As I just noted in another response, I immediately heard the OP as an overly earnest and depression-prone robot a century out from human contact letting go, to the best of her very limited ability. I thought it was brilliant.
ETA: The more I think sbout it, there are two notable things about that OP - the song was both down tempo and off-key, and a number of her dance moves actually required a partner.
How awesome would it be if, by the end of the season, the song was sweet and light and she had a partner?
There are few things in anime that I love more than when openings change with plot progression.
Madoka.
I tried to find the hidden microtonal harmony, but no, it seems to be properly off key. Let's hope they change it after 6 episodes and it turns out to be the vocals for a completely different song. (Now I got myself hyped for a 4d move that's probably not even real.)
I loved the OP.
What I heard, clear as a bell, was an overly earnest and depression-prone robot who''s one of the few remaining who hasn't ended up on the scrap heap, and is gamely and determinedly keeping a luxury hotel not only running but luxurious a century after humanity left the planet letting go, just a little bit, with a song that's more upbeat than she is. For now.
