{{Nihongo|Apocalypse Hotel|アポカリプスホテル|Apokaripusu Hoteru}} is an original Japanese anime television series produced by CyberAgent and animated by CygamesPictures. The series aired from April to June 2025.

Plot

In the year 2057, an unknown aerial contagion dubbed "infortunium pollution" begins to spread around Earth, rendering the air unbreathable to primate-based species, including humans. With no way to cure or counter the infortunium pollution, humanity has no choice but to flee to space, leaving the planet completely abandoned. A century later, the only sign of civilization left is the Gingarou Hotel in Ginza, which is kept operational by what remains of the autonomous robot staff led by the gynoid concierge Yachiyo. As the staff wait patiently for humanity to return, they are caught off guard when their first guest to arrive in a century turns out to be an extraterrestrial visitor.

Later a family of tanuki aliens visit the hotel after fleeing their home planet due to a war. This family end up living on Earth in their converted space ship, and one of the tanuki, Ponko, becomes an employee at the hotel. The tanuki have long lifespans, and together with Yachiyo, they work together to improve the hotel and attract more alien visitors over the course of several centuries, but still waiting for humanity's return.

Eventually, a human named Tomari Iori visits Earth, having been raised on an spaceship. She and the hotel staff discover that the infortunium pollution is no longer deadly to humans, thanks to a special plant left at the hotel by the first extraterrestrial visitor. However, humans have been in space for so long that their bodies now have an allergy to Earth's atmosphere, and thus can only visit the planet for short periods of time. Tomari leaves Earth, promising to Yachiyo that more humans will come and visit in time, leading to Yachiyo and her staff to continue running the hotel after Tomari leaves.

Yachiyo allows the Prociones to stay in the hotel, but they quickly take advantage of her kindness to do as they please, causing significant property damage. Yachiyo finally loses her temper and harshly reprimands them for their disrespect towards the hotel.

Instead, Yachiyo uses a construction crane to "fish" the Nudel, impaling its head with the crane hook and killing it.

With no clear purpose now, Harmaggeddon decides to stay at the hotel as a guest. During his stay, Harmaggeddon eliminates Earth's Nudel infestation and explores the ruins around Earth to learn more about humans, while Ponko mistakenly believes he and Yachiyo have romantic feelings for each other. One night, though, a team of alien heroes arrive to bring Harmaggeddon to justice for all of the civilizations he has destroyed. Realizing that the collateral damage might destroy the hotel, Harmaggeddon swiftly defeats the heroes.
