I guess Wakana is going to take a long while before she fully embraces her new friends, but quite why she is so apprehensive is a mystery though hopefully it will end soon. In the mean time she seems to have gained a new stalker who is likely an old friend of her mother’s. Unfortunately [...]

Not every day you get chased by a big burly Mexican dude with a pet pig. Seriously. … uh girls, badminton only goes up to doubles and even then there’s only one shuttlecock in play. Poor Daichi. Valiant effort there Daichi, but in the end it’s gonna be the Choir-minton Club instead of Badmint-oir Club. [...]

So…beach-side music contest…that’s what they’re going with? Joint recital still sounds much more important, but whatever works, I guess. They somehow managed to get themselves entered in this contest thanks to the random guys sitting nearby (seriously…I heard a flute and all I saw was a some stringed instrument and a pair of chopsticks…what the [...]

After a quick 3-on-2 badminton game that Konatsu’s side [...]

Oh my gosh, I didn’t expect to be so interested in every episode of this anime when I started watching! This episode, the guys play badminton against the girls in a game to determine which of their clubs will get 5 members to officially form – losers have to join the winner’s club. It didn’t … Continue reading →

If it seemed like all is well after a successful recital in last week's episode of Tari Tari - think again. Now that said big event is done and dusted, Miyamoto suddenly finds all of the members she coerced into joining the Choir Club leaving in droves, her brother included - a situation which sees the vice principle wasting no time in shutting the club down for having insufficient members.  The

Tari Tari… not one of those shows that will get a reasonable title translation. What does tari tari even mean? Well… “Doing this and that.” Sounds like the start of a great adventure, doesn’t it?  When you come back home in the middle of the night, your relatives are likely to ask “What were you [...]

I kept waiting for the mystery to show up in Hyouka 12, it’s probably already started, but who cares? I was too busy marveling at what I was seeing to notice.

…and not to mention how fantastic the web-slinging looked in the movie! Mark Webb and Andrew Garfield really weren’t kidding when they said- huh? Oh yeah, Tari Tari. But seriously, The Amazing Spider-Man is an amazing movie. Moving along. If others argue that Tari Tari isn’t as good as people say it is, then this [...]
