Quite the shift away from the plot.
Still enjoyed the episode. For me the spotlight was Dera getting rejected. As for the technicalities this episode has a really good storyboard. I wonder who's the episode director for this one. Also it seems like this show is getting more Key Animators per episode than Chuu2koi. Next episode. Anko episode?

Well now...seems here they have a little fanservice scene.
A Shiori episode, man I want to see more of her! Now I got 2 favs in Tamako Market. She's shy, glasses and a bit clumsy, but man those are just few of the traits that get me. Dera is still a mystery to me, but does his good job as the mascot of the series. 8/10 episode for me.

Episode 3:
Overweight bird stalks shy meganeko. Locals issue restraining order. News at 11. So, in this episode we are properly introduced to Asagiri Shiori, who we've seen playing badminton before. It turns out, instead of being the somewhat cool character she initially appears to be, she's actually just extremely shy. She doesn't participate in conversations because she doesn't know how to respond. Fortunately, with some Tamako-style befriending, a little assistance from a stalking bird (who decided he was in love with Shiori the instant he saw her) and, as usual, a visit to the coffee shop, a friendship is forged. In other news, poor Midori has been moved to another class. Not that it seems to affect them much, since they're still in the same club and they still hang out together anyway, but Tamako looked quite sad about it. Kanna... Kanna, Kanna, Kanna. It was suggested you were OCD before, and here you had to go and prove it. Unable to tolerate the locker next to you being broken, you brought in carpentry tools and fixed it yourself on the second day of school. You might have some issues. I do, however, find you amusing, so it's all good for now. So, Shiroi is cute, and hopefully we will see more of her as the series goes on. Next episode preview showed a disproportionate amount of Anko, so it should be good.

I loved this episode. I'm always happy watching people slowly emerging from their shells, and I felt like the pacing was very good in depicting Shiori's struggle. Not only that, she fulfilled the outsider role I expected her to play as one of the only characters who isn't related to the market at all!

The director/storyboarder for this episode was Taiichi Ishidate, the person who directed both finale episodes of last year's KyoAni shows (and storyboarded Chuunibyou's finale as well). It's interesting that they have more key animators given their past use of scheduling. Perhaps they were just a little behind on this compared to Hyouka and Chuunibyou's status at the same production time.

He's relatively new at Kyoani, has only handled Hyouka episodes 12 and 19, and storyboarded Chuuni episode 11. IIRC he supposedly said this on an obscure forum when he was still an animator: Quote:
As for the amount of animators, they are obviously not as comfortable with their schedule as they were with their previous shows. They have been doing a lot of work lately, and probably are working on another project for Spring/Summer as well, so it seems reasonable as long as the actual quality doesn't noticeably drop. |

The Western fandom needs to stop viewing every series through the lens of "plot". All of them have a story, but those stories aren't always presented in the same fashion. Shiori may very well end up influencing later events because she started opening up to others this week. |
