I believe we have all been in that inevitable position of having other people decide what’s “best for you”. They carry on about how great your life will be if situation X happens and start fantasizing about how the rest of your life will play out. And all you are left to do is [...]

So he’s finally arrived…the prince. I figured he would show up eventually. As usual, everyone is worried this week and Tamako just doesn’t care…though that might be what they’re worried about. Also, Dera finally gets his communication function fixed…and it’s basically the same as it was before. Seriously…how do they project their image? If they [...]

Welp, Prince finally appears. And he stole Tamako’s medal! Terrible.

「まさかあの娘がプリンセス」 (Masaka Ano Musume ga Purinsesu) "Who Knew She'd Be a Princess?" Finally, after 10 whole episodes, we have the one thing we've never seen before - a Tamako episode! With the "Tamako-sama" bomb dropped, all eyes are on her, and she doesn't seem entirely comfortable with the attention.

Isn’t Choi going too far with the princess thing?  I think so. If Choi didn’t go overboard with the abrupt announcement, Tamako’s anxiety wouldn’t have become apparent. Besides addressing her highly, she pushes the prince thing on to her without consulting what she thinks about the whole thing. In fact, Tamako simply pushes it aside [...]

Word spreads around the district that Tamako is a “princess”, but she’s more excited about winning a medal for filling 100 order cards throughout the years. Her dad is sour about the entire idea, and Mochizou isn’t altogether ecstatic either, especially, when Tamako gets to chat briefly with the prince via Dera. After Mochizou tells [...]

News travels fast in the market district, and no sooner has last week's revelation been outed than it seems like all and sundry have heard the news - but is Tamako really princess material? For Tamako's part, she seems far more interesting in filling her hundredth shopping district point card and winning the medal that doing so allows than any of this talk of marriage or royalty, but for

When you repeat "Something come out!" while in the restroom, other people are bound to get the wrong idea. Just saying.

RABUJOI apologies for the delay of this review. The Usagiyama High Cultural Festival approches, and the Baton Club gets a primo spot in the schedule, when they’re assured the largest audience. Captain Midori designs the uniforms and volunteers to come up with the choreography. However, she can’t think of anything, and hides her creative block [...]

Ever since the beach episode I had always had this wavering opinion of Midori. That episode didn’t exactly make her out to be the best person in the show. And since that episode she has been pushed aside like Shiori. But in reality she’s just like the rest of the girls of Tamako Market: incredibly [...]

A Flower Blooms On Her Baton Just as I was waiting for it, the highly anticipated Bunny Mountain cultural festival has arrived! But no cultural festival can go by with ease, and we soon see that Midori’s having a hard time trying to organise the baton club’s performance. Will things go according to plan, or [...]

So it was a school festival after all. Midori trying to be the fearless leader and handle all of the work. That performance was kinda sudden…are there seriously time skips going on with every episode? I always feel like I’m missing something when they start up. Anyway, it looks like Choi has found the mythical [...]

It's school festival time (don't worry, this isn't Hyouka so it only lasts a single episode), and the baton club have landed themselves a prime position in the schedule's festival.  In other words, it's time to knuckle down and create something fitting for the occasion! After much discussion about what their on-stage performance should involve (with Kanna's suggestion of "firefighting acrobatics

Summary: Preparation for the culture festival comes around the Midori, the Baton Club leader, is feeling added pressure to perform. She picks the most coveted time slot for their performance, designs their costumes, but can’t seem to get any ideas going for their routine. Wanting to live up to her friends’ expectations of her though, [Absolute Territory]
