It's none of the above. It's a derivative series and it takes a little bit of cute girls doing cute things, a little bit of music, a little bit of drama, a little bit of comedy and a little bit of scenery porn (albeit recycled inferior Hanasaku Iroha scenery porn lol). But despite being really "unoriginal" and unremarkable, when you add the sum of its parts, it's actually really well executed. Less potential in premise than Iroha did, but at least for now, it's somehow turning out to be better ironically. Must be because of all those wasted episodes in Iroha .

Same reason why I'm enjoying the current festival arc in Hyouka immensely. That's arguably even more unremarkable in premise but somehow Kyoani made it very entertaining due to how much detail and finesse they put into it. And this is is coming from a person who cool story bro'd K-on, Nichijou and even somewhat the Dissappearance movie (yes, I'm one of the few who thought it was merely "okay". I still like Haruhi S1 though). I don't consider Hyouka a mystery at all (at least not a hard mystery). In fact, I think Tari Tari has more common with Hyouka than with True Tears or Hanasaku Iroha in the way they take the simple and mundane and turn into something entertaining and very pleasant to watch, without making it "derp" - i.e. exaggerated moe to the point of "moeblob".
