Wein steps up to the plate and seizes the mantle of Red Ranger. I am a bit bewildered by why they don’t go into a childhood memory for Wein off the bat but maybe he has more baggage than meets the eye. I suspect that Jan could be very ill or if nothing else seems [...]

Now here’s my double episode post of TARI TARI episode 8 and 9. It’s somehow long… and yeah, this post somehow reflects my current outlook on the series. In a simple statement, I see TARI TARI right now as a so-so series with not much excitement or anything else. Of course it’s just my point [...]

How many cats randomly pressing buttons on pianos does it take to compose a better song than Wakana? Apparently just one. Wakana’s problems continue to feel sterile to me. She’s worrying about whether her mother ever doubted herself too? The … Continue reading →

Like any club, Konatsu needs some funding so she can get the stage performance rolling. Compared to other dramatic moments seen with Wakana and Sawa, Wein is a bit subtle. Apparently, he receives all the letters that he wrote to his friend back. That is a kick right in the guts since he took so [...]

Well…was that all it was for Wein’s issues? He gets a little worried for half the episode, then recovers when he realizes what he needs to do (without anyone’s help, really). Unless something crazy happens with this Jan, like finding him in Japan or something, I don’t see how they can stretch it any more. [...]

In Tari Tari 9 it’s time for Wein to have a crisis of sorts. Seems he befriended a sickly boy back in Germany and watched that Gamba hero show with him a lot. Now the kid’s moved and Wein doesn’t know what happened to him. He demonstrates his concern by not paying attention to the [...]

*gets video from illegal streaming site*  I am happy with Wakana in a pink sentai suit. *squee* C’mon, sing with me! Basically, this is where we go: Wein land. We got to see Wein’s past in Germany before joining the breakfast club. I like how things get coincidental here — Wakana was referred to Sawa’s mom Shiho-san Shiho-san needs the gang of five for some super project. She then bribes them with cake. I should’ve said “I love that scenario” but it’s pretty much of a planned plot (of the writers) to me. Moving on, Wein’s story is pretty much similar to those who grew up abroad. Here, I’ll still call the name of voice actor Tetsuya Kakihara because he studied in Germany before coming back to Japan and aspires to become a badass seiyuu. It’s worth to mention. Since my least favorite among the group is Tanaka, I’d skip his timeline — but that woul not be fair, says @Solidad. Might as well take his arc for granted.

I’ve heard many interesting and “stylized” translations of 「屑」 kuzu before as an insult. Rubbish, shithead, puke face, the infamous “dreck” from Tales of the Abyss… But “jackass” is certainly a new one. xD

Wakana decides to ask Sawa’s mother if she knew anything about how her mom wrote songs. Konatsu decides the club will put on a musical drama for the White Festival, but it will require a lot of money to produce it. At the Western shopping district association meeting, Shiho proposes they boost business by using [...]

Now that Sawa's problems are resolved (or at least sufficiently abated to allow her life to return to normal), it appears that it's Wien's turn in the emotional spotlight for this latest arc of Tari Tari. As our Viennese friend spaces out and frets over the return of some undelivered air mail letters, Miyamoto seems to have conjured up some particularly grandiose ideas for the forthcoming White

Man, Wien’s really in to this sentai stuff isn’t he? Funnily it doesn’t feel obnoxious either, since he sounds so damn passionate I can’t hate him for it lol. The rest of the cast may find it different though www So we move on to the guys now with Wien’s “past” brought out in light. [...]

The drama continues as her father finds out the shocking truth. No matter how many times Sawa says that she hates her dad for being too strict, there is no denying that he only wants the best for her daughter. The problem is like with most teenagers, she is stuck in her own dream world [...]
