In the first episode of Restaurant to Another World, we are introduced to a peculiar restaurant named "Western Restaurant Nekoya". This restaurant is quite special as it only opens its doors to non-human customers every Saturday. The first scene of the show takes us to a fantasy world where a lizardman named Tatsugorou is wandering around in search of his next meal. While walking, he suddenly senses a delicious aroma in the air which leads him to a mysterious door, hidden behind some bushes. To his surprise, he finds himself in front of a western-style restaurant where he is welcomed by the chef - an unassuming man named Master.
After a brief introduction, Tatsugorou is served a hot bowl of beef stew which he enjoys thoroughly. The stew is cooked to perfection, with tender pieces of beef, fresh vegetables, and a thick gravy that complements the dish. While savoring the flavor, Tatsugorou accidentally spills some stew on his shirt, but he doesn't seem to mind. The food is so good that he requests for a second serving, which Master gladly provides. As Tatsugorou satisfies his appetite, he starts looking around and realizes that he is not alone. To his surprise, he sees other non-human customers, like elves, dragons, and even demons. They all seem to be enjoying their meals and chatting away, unmindful of their physical differences.
The scene then jumps to a human world where a boy named Aletta is desperately searching for a job. She's an orphan who has been living on the streets, and she's ready to do anything to survive. While walking around, she stumbles upon a back door to the same restaurant that Tatsugorou visited earlier. Aletta decides to check it out, hoping to beg for some food. She's welcomed by the kind-hearted Master who offers her a job as a waitress. At first, she's hesitant as she's never worked in a restaurant before, but she soon realizes that the customers are not humans. After an explanation from Master, Aletta is thrilled to find a place where she can work without fear of being discriminated against.
The episode then shifts to a busy breakfast scene where the restaurant is filled with various creatures enjoying their morning meals. Master serves a variety of dishes, including pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausages. But the most popular item is the breakfast special – a dish made with eggs, bacon, sausages, and toast. The presentation is excellent, and the aromas are heavenly. Aletta is shown as a hardworking waitress, running around taking orders and delivering food with a smile on her face. She's also seen bonding with the customers, learning about their likes and dislikes, and making recommendations on what to order.
Throughout the episode, the viewers get a glimpse into the backstories of some of the customers, which gives insight into their personalities and motives. For example, we see a demon queen who's trying to lose weight, a dragon who's nostalgic for the old days, and an elf who's looking for a rare herb. Each of these characters is unique, and they add to the charm of the show.
In conclusion, the first episode of Restaurant to Another World is a heartwarming and wholesome introduction to the series. The animation is colorful and detailed, and the soundtrack is relaxing and soothing. The characters are lovable, and the food looks scrumptious. Overall, it's a show that you can watch with family and friends and feel good about.
