How long does it take to tune Wien's piano?

Tuning a piano that hasn't been used in who knows how many years can take upwards of several hour if its regularly tuned but much, much longer if it hasn't been used or tuned in a long time. I tune my piano four times a year on the season/temperature changes, and it takes about two hours.

A pro would probably be able to tune that piano in two or so hours, kids in high school who have probably never tuned a piano before (maybe Wakana has?) it could take them half a day.

I'm not one for these kind of things but that scene just made me go all Mugi-vision* on those two. And Wakana seems to agree with me

All throught the episode I had this feeling that Wakana is completely up in the clouds now that she has come to terms with her issue and it just made her a very lovely young girl. She might even break down the cold heart of the Vice-principal and turn her into an ally instead of an enemy if this keeps up. I'm guessing she does take after her mother after all.

Also I'm very happy to report that Wein keeps having some minor hints of character development which is good. The way he reacted when Batominton-kun asked for the Red Super Sentai lookalike coupled with the next episode preview shows some promise. The show isn't 100% gender neutral yet but with the apparent Wein character development getting setup and the second awesome father showing his chops it's an awful lot better than most.

Keep it up Tari Tari, you're slowing building up to be one of my top picks this season.

Another awesome and heart warming episode from tari tari . I loved it. Both cried and laughed a ton. I think this was by far the funniest episode thus far.

Very good episode. Every one in this episode were awesome.

Tari Tari is becoming one of my favorite anime.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep8:

Mm, I can't say it was as good as Wakana's arc, but it wasn't bad.
But still, kind of felt lacking, like the Dad just eventually understanding the daughter off-screen. "You know, he loves you but just doesn't know how to express it!" <-- Attempt to explain this development
Ye-... No...

And in the meantime, Wakana seems to have reached enlightenment...
And then in the meantime, for a moment, during the scene around 12:15 where the horse was drinking water, I mistook it for a naked female's body. ( -_-)

[deadite]

there's a theory going around that Chairman is Wein's dad.

[webkid94]

I'm surprised yet again with Tari Tari: I honestly thought Sawa would get another episode but it looks like it's ending here. HOLY CRAP Wien you're living the rich life, good to see more Wien especially when he freaked out over the sentai doll.

That Chairman guy is a bigger dick than the VP, if that guy is Wien's dad I feel sorry for his mom. Treating Colonel Sanders the President like that was so rude! I'm glad things aren't going as I envision it in this series, it's proving to be one of the better summer shows.

Spoiler for Ep 8 spoiler thoughts:

Hmm, there's a lot to like in the latest episode, but somehow I do feel it was a bit lackluster. I think it's because all the side bits were awesome: simple jokes, Sawa verbal pwning the other choir (she so totally should've not been stopped!), Wakana & Konatsu pwning VP, Wien being Wien, and the group doing things together (cheering Sawa and so on).

The main parts felt lacking though. Sawa got thrown off a horse. While I can take she only suffered minor injuries, for those injuries to then go away (so that no one at school could see it) was stretching an already thin string further (even if you wanna play the make-up card). I thought the build up between Sawa's issues was great, but when her dad suddenly turns around and starts backing her dreams, that just felt so random. It may paint her dad in a great light, but at least show why he changed, don't just make us assume he read something in the Riding School book to convince him. His initial points are all still valid. I felt a bit cheated by that event.

Best part though was Wakana. How she turned around Sawa's point was brilliant, yet so true. It's how I felt after her whole arc (because I personally felt Wakana's arc was more about learning the truth about her mom rather than her mom's death itself), so it's great to see her put her mom before music. One of the best moments for me. Wakana easily stretches her lead as the best character in this show.

I still don't think Sawa's issues are resolved, like the episode's outcome, I think it's just been put off. Taken a step back. Hopefully we get more later.

[Blaat]

The non-Sawa parts were great the Sawa parts itself not so much but I think that has something to do with the fact I really couldn't care less about her. It is great to another good father figure in this (two in one show, must be a record for recent anime) It looks like next week's episode might be focused on Maeda Wien but I mustn't get my hopes up.

I have to bust that theory, the voice of presumably Wien's father in episode one is completely different than the voice of the chairman.

Also P.A. Works I'm still waiting for the HSI reference.

[SoFarGone]

eh if this episode is suppose to be a conclusion of Sawa's arc then its pretty weak. Also this episode in my mind confirms there won't be any romance in this show at least not with Sawa/Tanaka.

[Triple_R]

Yeah, at this point, even I have to admit that romance in this show is extremely unlikely. Even the subtler one-on-one moments haven't been there for awhile now (i.e. moments between Wakana and Wien, or moments between Sawa and Tanaka).

You might see some hints of romance occurring in the post-anime future for these characters (i.e. you might get some cute scenes between various pairs of characters in the last episode), but I don't think there's enough time left to get a serious romance off the ground and fully develop it within the anime itself.

I think what happened with Sawa's dad is just a mix of pride and worry for his child. He loves Sawa as the good dad that he is but he's not going to look weak directly to hear and is going to keep pushing her to do the "safe" thing. That doesn't preclude him, however, from hoping her daughter gets to see her dream come true and help her with that. It's a nice little dilemma thrown in to show he's actually a very caring father that's doing his best to be strict for his daughters sake. And that little scene with Sawa saying she won't apologize just helps to show that she's as prideful as her father.

It wasn't perfect but it was a nice take on the concept imho.

[ookamigirl]

There goes Sawa's dream...
Equestrian school, huh?
Her dad wasn't helping with all the negative talk.
She needs to face the facts and find a new dream or a variation of the old one.
Now even their club lost a place to practice.
Things really aren't going well..
That vice principal sure is making them jump through hoops!

[hai_san]

Aww another very excellent ep from Tari Tari, no heart rending drama but still very good and entertaining. The Fathers from Tari Tari are all over the top... but still in the end doting their children/daughters to no ends, well yea if i had a daughter like Sawa i would do the same...

2 funny lines in this ep, Konatsu "confession"/try to consoled Sawa and Wien's lyric "The light of hope burn bright forever because you are a hero"

[Kanon]

Great episode. Tari Tari is striking a good balance between drama and comedy. Konatsu and Wien were hilarious in this episode, while Wakana and Sawa provided good drama. There was even a crowning moment of awesome with Sawa riding her horse to make it in time for the audition.

I expected Sawa to get another episode since even though she's snapped out of her depression, her issues haven't really been solved yet. I guess we'll have to wait for the final episode to know which path she has chosen. Oh, and her dad is definitely a cool dad.

[satomianzaki]

another great episode for tari tari...
the whole crew is cool and wakana is so awesome this episode...

i'm also interested about wien's background...
hope we'll see more from him in the coming episodes...

[DragoonKain3]

Hmm... just as I suspected, ms vice principal still feels burned by Sawa's mom leaving her 'behind'. Probably the reason why she scratched out the names on the music sheet used by the club before.

As for Sawa, she gotta look at the big picture. Being a jockey isn't the only profession in which deals with horses.

[sikvod00]

Wakana is undoubtedly the Vice Principal's number one weakness (the principal is next), and for obvious reasons. It's kind of hard to be a hard-ass in front of the child of the person that made you who are.

I just personally felt it was too sudden of a 180 degree turn in character. I don't have a problem accepting that he loves his daughter, or that he could come to accept her dreams, it just didn't flow well in terms of storytelling (for me at least).

Pfft, did you guys not notice how Sawa only started laughing when Tanaka started singing? His whole line about losing and coming back, obviously resonated with her. Super Taichi, solving problems weekly in one show or another.

[Guardian Enzo]

I think it should be repeated that Taichi - also an athlete - was the only one who spotted something was wrong with Sawa and expressed concern for her, and all he got for it was verbal abuse.
