Tamako Market is a light, easy-to-watch series. No one is just there for appearence, everyone has a story. Throughout the anime, we see things about the characters and find out about their lives. They fo fit perfectly for the story and they are pleasent to watch. While the energetic characters really help to draw you in the story, they maybe a tad to sweet for some people, but that just goes hand in hand with the whole series. Everyone fits in, making conflict somehow something of another world. Sweet and caring, but still individuals with their own problems, businesses and love crushes. The sounds and music are befitting for Tamako market. Either in a emotional one or just for the comic relief. Except for in the coffeeshop, where the guy plays records and these always seem to help out the situation. The souds thoughout the episodes are mostly really simple songs, that fit the situation. Still a great choice for Tamako Market.īeginning with the opening and ending songs, these songs will lift you up and make you feel good about yourself, certainly fitting the personality of the main characters. A really good job on the animation, but nothing greatly impressive. It also means that the attention for even the smallest movements is present. This fits the cute and energetic fibe the characters have, making you love them even more. The director for this series is Naoko Yamada, that means the animation looks a lot like Hyouka, K-On! and Kyoukai no Kanata. It truly is a cute, slice of life anime, maybe a tad to sweet for some, but certainly worth watching. Most of all we get to see how they all care for one another and how everyone interacts. We get to see her interactions with her friends and family who all have very individual personalities. But most of all Tamako drags us with her over the market and in her life. Of course something strange happens in the beginning, that triggers the main storyline. For example, her friends, her school, her club activities, but most of all her families mochi shop. With the main protagonist being a cute and energetic high school girl you can expect most of the things you'll see in the anime. I'll probably think about this anime the next time I eat some mochi. I learned a lot, actually, about mochi from this anime. Overall: I felt like this anime flew under my radar when it premiered. The only points I docked from the characters was due to my annoyance at Dera's vanity. There was a lot of effort put into giving the side characters back stories or something that made them unique. Progressive anime is progressive.Ĭharacters: The characters had a wide range of personalities, from the always upbeat Tamako to the shy and calm Shiori. The only question I had was the choice of Daisuke Ono for Kaoru's voice, until I learned that Kaoru is possibly transgender. At no point did I feel the music didn't suit the anime. At one point, even Toccata and Fugue in D minor was used, very effectively. Sound: Aside from the OP and ED, which I felt suited the anime very well, there was the cafe that played music. Everything was brightly colored, detailed with just enough character, and felt inviting. Aside from the character design, I loved the look of the shopping arcade. It's all very mundane, but thankfully, the comedy and liveliness of the characters makes the anime watchable.Īnimation: The animation is very moe, and very much the style of Kyoto Animation. For the most part, each episode has its own small problem that must be solved, like the market isn't festive enough for Valentine's day. The story is very slow, and the main action of the anime is only brought up towards the end. Story: This was probably one of the weaker points for me. However, this particular anime had just enough comedy and weirdness to keep my interest. I am not one that usually likes slice of life anime.
