I kind of like this one season anime original thing. I'm not saying I'd like every anime to be that way, but it's kind of light and refreshing to have everything wrapped up and ribboned without having to go on the internet to check out the prospects of a season 2..
I agree that the series was fun overall. I share Smurky's belief that it wasn't a huge success as a romantic comedy but stronger as a wacky ensemble piece. The inconsistency of the art quality vexed me from beginning to end - is it that different members of an art team were in charge of different sections, and they didn't mesh well? How can the same studio draw a house and a street so beautifully and then draw a spaceship and a mecha that looks like something a sixth grader would draw? Stone hearted hearted bastard that I am, I wouldn't have minded seeing Shoin go up in the flames of his exploding love hotel. I'm not sure that lying and manipulating the people who you claim to care about and being willing to see your entire world conquered so that you can force someone to let you out of the friend zone is something that should be shrugged off. But the series wasn't striving for realism or cold logic, and if it wanted everyone to have a happy ending except for the deep sea bass with boundary issues, I can admire that. I do have some questions. What was that thing Bum-sempai found in the ruins he was digging around in? Did I forget something or miss a scene while I went to the fridge or the door or whatever? And why didn't they call the show Astro Lodge instead of Astro Note? Anyway, pretty much enjoyed it. |

Episode 12 (Finale)
I had the same thought as Edjwald... er, I mean, Edjwald had the same thought as me about enjoying a one cours anime original that told a complete, satisfying story. I'm rating this as Good. I wasn't crazy about how the Aoi-san stuff was initially handled but I thought they left her in a good place despite what seemed like a flirtation with bestiality. I did half expect her to go to Wid with Not-Dog. I initially thought that the Hubby invasion fleet getting blasted seemed a bit harsh, but the credit sequence made clear that they ended up crashlanding and handily a multicycle was undamaged. As for Edjwald's questions: 1) I have no idea what that token Glasses found is, and, 2) Not real sure why the title is Astro Note instead of Astro Lodge but maybe because the old guy wrote his story in a notebook and they just dropped the book part? |

I believe it was the royal symbol of Planet Wid. Mira had a pendant with that symbol on it that signaled to the lawyer lady that, according to Earth-Daddy's wishes, she should be allowed to take over the boarding house. (I remember it because it reminds me of the "Stonecutters Symbol" from the Simpsons... which a group of friends then adopted as a symbol for an indie magazine they published.) |

Thanks Spas. Ummm...I mean, Minnow
 If that's not right, it's a good enough guess that the question won't be itching at the back of my mind whenever I think about the anime.
