Or a Col. Sandertaku.

I'm not worried. There is lots of time for that to develop -- and no lack of candidates to be involved. Perhaps we may even get a romance that works out smoothly.

I don't see Sawa as a Mary Sue. She may be capable and basically kind, but she can be overbearing and takes her privileged position for granted. I think she's more interesting and complicated than the term will allow. Anyway, she's played by Hayami Saori, which makes me like her right away.

With these three excellent singers (Ayahime and Hayamin are two of the four best seiyuu/singers, in my opinion, and Asa-chan is better than I realized), I can see a field of many EDs stretching out ahead of us. They do a very good job of the first two.

The other two top seiyuu/singers, for me, are Nana-chan and Chihara Minori. But I actually admire their work more than I like it. For me, Hayamin has one of the most "beautiful" voices in the world, with an amazing sweetness. Ayahime has a college degree in vocal music, and gives any group a solid foundation (including Sphere, whose third album hit number one on its first day on the charts this week).

I'm interested in the ED song because the artist is listed as "Shirahamazaka Koukou Gasshou-bu" which implies that it'll be sung eventually by the other cast members (hopefully the guys as well), instead of just Konatsu and Sawa..they look awfully lonely sitting there by themselves

Still anyone noticed MAL changed Wien's name to...something really japanese. I looked at the official Tari Tari website and they still list him as Wien.

The story still roams around the girls well mainly... getting excited when the three gets close to the two guys.....

Freebies of course.

Claiming the second one. Really liked the first episode, gonna make sure to watch episode 2 this weekend, and hopefully before episode 3 is out.

Never saw True Tears, but it was cool to have the OP of that in the first episode as the song the choir was practicing on.

Angel Beats didn't really start until about halfway, just for the record.

Regardless, those 'die hard romanticists' like myself only need some small event that can be construed as romantic here, or a possible implication of interest from one of the characters there, and we'd still be on it as if they'd blatantly told us the romance from the get go.

The first you said. Theoretically everyone may use it, but since I'd prefer not having identical avatars around, then the first who claims one gets it. In our case, the second one (Konatsu) has been claimed, so you can take the first (Wakana) if you wish.

Or alternatively you may wait for new ones (I assume episode 3 will have one of Sawa?).

episode 2 feel kind of rush but still not bad, looking forward for next episode.

Sakai past seem interesting, wonder what make her stop music now.

Those small flashbacks that showed when Sakai played that song during the club meetings probably indicate that it has something to do with her deceased mother.

[DragoZERO]

Sawa is friggin awesome. I could look at her in that outfit all day long.

Canaan?

Well there were some heavy yuri undertones but romance was never a big part of the show.

And yes,I'm a Sawa fanboy as well ( dat hat )

[NoemiChan]

I still long for the "romance" in this anime. But the anime is currently doing well. Hope I could see the love vibes soon.

Besides the yuri undertones there was also the male cameraman who had a crush on the mute girl working in a bar IIRC.

[Onibur]

Wait, so how much time went by between the club's approval and the recital? Was it the last recital? Gaaah!?

Well I assume there was a time skip somewhere in the middle of the episode. They also said before that it's Konatsu's last chance before graduating to 'prove herself' or something, though my memory might be wrong.

Unless you really liked Angel Beats, then True Tears is considered the high-point of P.A. Works. Maybe it's my fanboy self talking, but I really don't think it'll be matched anytime soon . Nonetheless I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Hanasaku Iroha had potential to match/beat it (first two episodes and the Tokyo Arc and the final arc were f***ing amazing) but botched it, though it was still a very good series. Will have to see with Tari Tari, but I'm sorta doubting it despite having two solid episodes so far, with a third soon to come.

[ZGMF-X10A]

just watched the first two episodes. PA works did another amazing job with the animation. In episode 1 the choir was singing a song it reminded me of true tears reflectia but the way they sang it was weird.

[hai_san]

Also just watched the 1 EP , it is an excellent job by P.A, animation was amazing fluid and Charas quite interesting. Some normal setting anime in between the scifi mecha Aquarion or E7 Ao and deus ex machina Campione, it pique my interest.

Well, hopefully, the show won't implode on Ep. 3 like HanaIro did in terms of story quality (and we don't have Okada, so hopefully we'll avoid the *side characters must be more fleshed out than main characters!* strip in the middle of the show). Tari Tari is a bit early to say, we really do only have two episodes but its best to keep our expectations within some earthly realm. In terms of kickoff from the start, its one of the best this season.
