Watched the first episode of Astro Note, the show about a chef who gets a job at a lodge and falls in love with an alien girl. It was... weird? Like all the tenants are complete weirdos, but that isn't what I mean. The chef guy went there after seeing an ad about hiring a chef. Then everyone starts apologizing because I guess the ad was fraudulent and they aren't hiring a chef? But they 100% need a chef, they just aren't hiring one? The whole first half of the episode was a weird back-and-forth of "we absolutely need a chef for a bunch of reasons, sorry we can't hire you though". Of course main dude is smitten with the alien girl so he moves in on his own, I guess to work there for free? She gives him a budget of 250 yen per person per day, but I know enough about what the yen is worth to know that isn't enough for a decent meal. I guess he's paying for their meals out of his own pocket, too? This guy better start getting sex soon, otherwise he's getting screwed.

Anyway, my massive confusion for the premise aside, it wasn't a bad show. I liked a few of the weirdos at least. Astro Note definitely feels like it'll be unique.
