The post-apocalyptic anime series, Apocalypse Hotel, has announced the addition of three new cast members. Takahide Adachi, Kenjirō Tsuda, and Hina Kino will be joining the already stellar lineup of voice actors in this unique and intriguing series. Let’s dive into the details of these new additions and what they might bring to the story.
What is Apocalypse Hotel About?
Before we delve into the new cast members, let’s recap the premise of Apocalypse Hotel. Set in the year 2057, an unknown aerial contagion called “infortunium pollution” makes Earth uninhabitable for humans and other primates. With no cure or counter, humanity flees to space, leaving the planet abandoned. A century later, the only sign of civilization is the Gingarou Hotel in Ginza, Tokyo.
This hotel is maintained by a team of autonomous robots, led by the gynoid concierge Yachiyo. The robots dutifully keep the hotel running, hoping for the eventual return of humanity. However, their routine is disrupted when their first guest in a century turns out to be an extraterrestrial visitor. This sets the stage for a series of unexpected and often humorous encounters as the robots navigate their post-human world.
