I'm sort of reminded of the "What if Garfield couldn't talk?" mock-ups.

Especially Midori since it didn't add anything to whole thing nor did it do anything for Midori as a character.

I probably would have ditched this show already if it weren't for Dera, so I don't understand why so many people hate a character that actually brings life to a show I find somewhat boring otherwise.

There are more storylines in anime than just "action" and "romance". Broader, more humanistic themes are quite common, but often overlooked. |

To be honest those 3 episodes are more than enough to show how much everyone cares about Tamako and how much she means and does.
No need to get stuck on it for 13 episodes since there is no real problem to begin with. And romance is what this series brought, not me. I don't mind if they expend on something else like for example whole Dera business since he clearly is not a normal bird. K-ON was an easy going show but even it had some things going on like Yui learning to play a guitar, Azusa becoming a new member, graduation... themes were small but they were still there. While here so far it is a one shot setting.

K-On was a 2-season series. If a person had just watched three episodes of it and had no knowledge of the rest of it, they wouldn't have said it had a plot either. You're comparing a whole series to a fraction of one. The comparison is unfair.

Also, there's really no need to see Tamako "develop" in the sense of anime where there is an emphasis on character progression of some kind. She seems to have no dark past or demons to grapple with--her mother's death obviously affected her, but she seems to have come to terms with it (as she should, because death is an inevitable part of life)--and quite frankly I'm happy with her character as it is. I'd expect to see her doing different things and her relationships with others evolving--perhaps even romantically--but there's no need for her to *change* beyond the sweet girl focused on mochi at the center of a web of positive and caring human relationships. You really see that this episode, where you have a caring and sympathetic teacher meeting all the other shopowners, who all see Tamako as family. And as this episode drives home, anyone who interacts with Tamako sees their life improve as a result. All this makes linear plot superfluous. |

However, I am certain that, in this case, he was helpful. Shiori would almost certainly never have worked up the courage to have talked to Tamako on her own, leaving her life a much lonelier state of affairs. Despite his misguided motivations, Dera did manage to get them together, which is why I can't make myself want to get rid of him quite as much as I used to.

The other rookie is Rika Ota and I thought it was her the first time I saw this Tamako Market episode (such femininity & neck shots!) since I forgot what episode she had to direct (it's actually episode 5). Both Ogawa and Ota approximately entered KyoAni at the same time during Lucky Star era so that may explain why they have in common this refined style. Two promising talents! I don't think we could check Ogawa's quote source since it comes from a bbs, animators often create oekakibbs but these are hard to find, private or deleted.

I'm not asking for some deep plot with dark skeletons, just something so it wouldn't be plain episodic. Episodic shows tend to bore me after first few episodes because there isn't much to focus on. They are relaxing but it really wouldn't hurt to have some tiny story going on.

Guys guys this is a slice of life anime where the plot(not the other PLOT) is just about a simple everyday life spiced with a talking bird. So far a good series to me.
Awaiting more Shiori fan pics.

The two rookies seem very much a product of Kyoani's school, their directing style and storyboards are in the vein of most of the studio's work, if a bit unrefined still. I would really like it if they developed into a more individual style like Takemoto has done over the years, he is the single most interesting director at the studio for me. I hope Takemoto gets to direct an episode of Tamako Market, or at least Hiroko Utsumi who is also very good. |
