This week’s slice of deep thought After the sub-par previous episode, it seems that Tamako Market has made a good turn-around; this week’s episode was not bad at all. In this episode, we are introduced to Shiori Asagiri, a member of the badminton club who ends up in the same class as Tamako and Kanna. ...>>Read more

I really want to like this bird…it’s just not happening. The other characters in the show are interesting enough, but the bird just annoys the crap out of me. He’s a good catalyst…I admit the stuff this week with Shiori probably wouldn’t have happened without his help. He’s just not as funny as I think [...]

Spring has sprung, but there isn't much spring in Dera's step as this third episode of Tamako Market begins - that's what you get for constantly stuffing your face with mochi, I guess. Luckily for him, Dera has someone to catch him when he falls, in the form of badminton club ace Shiori Asagiri - a girl who now just so happens to be in the same class as Tamako and Kanna.  Never one to miss an

It’s almost always imperative to take special note of the direction of a plot, but the near-absence of one in this anime harkens the call of an outlier. I’ll be honest, I have no idea where this show is headed, then again, maybe it wasn’t going anywhere to begin with. Today’s episode is especially “bottled-up”- alienated, … Continue reading →

So the entire episode was dedicated to introducing Alternate-Nagato expy and her entire shtick revolves on her just being too shy to say that she wants to be friends with Tamako and co…. but thanks to a certain bird, she finally managed to do it. Well, I’m not saying this episode was terrible per se, [...]

「クールなあの子にあっちっち」 (Kuuruna Anoko ni Acchicchi) "Hot for a Cool Girl" Ahhh, to be young and bashful again. This was only partially a Shiori episode though, as Dera once again went about stealing the show.
