Sparrow's Hotel is a fun, fast-paced romp that gives off this atmosphere of something that should have aired on Adult Swim- sharp, witty, fast-paced, and absurd. The story is built upon a strong premise with a lot of iterative potential- a group of people working in a hotel, each one with quirks and oddities that set them apart from one another. Namely, you have Satou, a femme fatale former assassin who uses her proficiency for violence to protect the hotel from troublemakers. Though she is pretty funny, I actually prefer the rest of the cast, like the petite yet business-minded Tamaki Shiokawa, her obsessive older brother simply named Shiokawa, the inept internal company spy Yuu, or Misono, the longsuffering part-timer. Each episode covers a kind of story that could only really be told in…

It took me longer to write this review than to watch this series. I cannot imagine this series being expanded to a full length 26 episode series. And that's why it works! No need to explore these characters it's like an ongoing SNL sketch and the fact that it doesn't promise to be or try to be anything more is where the entertainment value lies. That's the charm. Comedies tend to over exert themselves or run to the well one too many times. This was a refreshing comedy that took its premise and jogged with it. Now there will be those who cry misogyny give it a one and try to make you feel bad for watching it. but they can sod off. It's a great diversion, it's funny and it's not long enough to leave a lasting impression so watch it and move on.

Sparrow's Hotel is about a woman who works in a hotel on the rowdy side of town. She is talented, beautiful, and just happens to be the hotel's bouncer.
Starting this anime I had very low expectations for it. People on MAL gave it a pretty lousy review and frankly, the cover image for the anime looks like crap. Surprisingly enough, the low budget production actually wasn't too bad in the first episode, or the second, or the third. I found myself laughing and really enjoying the show. The poor art quality actually worked for the show and its level of humor. It wasn't until the 7th episode that things started getting weird.
Have you seen an anime in which the MCs are anime creators themselves and the project they are working on goes through a massive change in the middle of production? We…

Having this be my first review you probably shouldn't take anything I say to strongly due to my lack of experience. However, I didn't think this anime was that bad compared to what others say.
I gave the story a 1 because this anime really doesn't have a story. But I would exempt this anime from this category merely because It is one of those anime that focus on trying to push in comedy.
I gave the art a 5 due to the fact that it isn't the best art that I've seen, but it also isn't the worst. I admit that the art is pretty bad for what could be done at the time, but it's art kind of make it unique in some regard.
I gave the sound a 5 because it didn't really stand out from my perspective but it also didn't not fit the anime.
I gave the character a 1 because the characters had no develo…

A simple litmus test for how much merit one might find in Sparrow's Hotel can be done by the brief uttering of one of its jokes: "Cute girl with large breasts is good at fighting". Now, if you are presently convulsing in laughter with tears in your eyes and a pain in your sides at the mere thought of that "joke", boy are you in luck, Sparrow's Hotel uses that joke repeatedly! Hell, it's the only joke it has! None of that pesky "variety" garbage to encroach on your love affair with that perfect, solitary joke. As such, Sparrow's Hotel's doubtlessly masterful sense of humor will remain laudable for as long as one finds this lonesome joke funny. For most of us, however, that moment will arrive mere seconds into the first episode.
Sayuri Satou, a busty and overly capable bouncer for a success…
