I really like these episodes which just depict a day progressing and its follow-up events. We don't need a budding romance, vast amounts of character development, some mochi vs mochi battle, or even some high school club to portray what a slice of life is all about - living and interacting in normal, mundane situations. Everything here just felt natural, and I didn't think much of the moe fanservice this time around was all that forced. Truly my favorite episode so far.

She likes the glasses wearing geek instead of the handsome face one.......seems there is still hope for us in this world.

There is hope for anyone as much Tamako getting married to who the father hates and in thee end both shops are better off.

Of course that might not happen cause of the father.

IMO other than the gag, the shop fighting will never amount to anything as far as I see it. It's plain old bickering among folks to amounts to nothing but comedy.

Both shops should cooperate more and work together to innovate.

I have a thing for fat animals/pets dressed in human clothes in anime and Dera was soooo cuteeeeee in that jacket thing.
He doesnt bother me as much as he did in the first episode, to be honest he's pretty funny now, he's got his moments.
although.... I'm really hoping he wiped before leaving the toilet and sitting on Tamako's head...

A Anko episode it showed her personality nicely she is pretty shy she didn't appear that way before.
And her sister is pretty dense to that has been noticeable before.

The festival seemed very nice and the girl liked Anko a lot judging from her reactions to Anko it was also nice of Anko to stay for her.

Anko is the best <3 (even though she's about 99% Azusa...)

And apparently she likes Dera just as much as I do ;-) Her only strong competition in my book is Kanna, but the latter didn't have enough screen time to shine yet.

Hahaha Fun episode!
Anko being all embarrassed in front of her crush was so cute. I was not expecting her to like the glasses boy O.O
Mochizou trying to impress Tamako by carrying that altar...and then passing out was hilarious.
Tamako sure is dense xD
This show is so moe.....didn't expect to like it....but now I'm looking forward to the next episode :3

Another boring episode, in my opinion. I'll give this one more episode before I decide to drop it, since I did have high hopes for this show.
Mochi is uninteresting, Dera is irritating, plot/characters are lacking, and I'm not a fan of the whole child labor thing. This show probably just isn't for me.

You know, I probably wouldn't hate this show so much if:

1) KyoAni didn't blatantly copy the K-On style. I let them off the hook because Hyouka and Chuunibyou had their own style that made it a bit different, but seriously? Just because it's the same character designer/studio doesn't mean you make them look like copies. Ume Aoki did the designs for Hidamari and Madoka and they were both animated by SHAFT, so there's little excuse.

2) The personalities weren't idiotic and terribly executed. They're so cliche and overused. Tamako is the biggest moeblob since Chitanda and the rest are just so cookie cutter.

3) If they weren't shoving moe and the comedy down our throats. The show screams LOOK AT THESE GIRLS ITS MOE or LOOK AT THIS BIRD ITS FUNNY LAUGH. Yeah, it's cute, but the annoying cute. The "Im-trying-way-too-hard" cute.

I don't wanna hear any bullshit about if I dont like it, I should drop it. I drop things that literally become absolute chores to watch. If this was a chore to watch, I wouldnt even bother to torrent it.

I got mixed feelings to this episode. Cute and fun at one side, but i hoped for some story development and it was just simple story of being shy to your crush. Especially that they didn't went further with story of mother, which i guess died or something. I hope it won't end up like "my mom died, im trying to forget it and I'm so airheaded but finally i remember it, cry a lot and live on".

Sometimes I wonder how it's even possible for KyoAni to make things as sweet and cute as they do. Wonderful episode, and it really accomplished everything it sought out to do. Solidified Tamako Market as my favorite show of the season, albeit an admittedly weak season.

How do none of you realize how boring and terrible this show is? There has been little to no plot or character development in the past 4 episodes and I doubt there will be any in the future. Dropped.

I love this show for its light-heartedness and fun! Its great if you need a break from the more serious, dramatic, and intense shows. :) If your looking for something more complex or ground breaking, you should just go somewhere else.

seriously, just because there isn't a character development that you LIKE, doesn't mean there isn't any at all.

The last episode was about Asagiri, how she burst her shyness bubble and became friends with Tamako.

This one was about Anko. We got a look into her heart. She dislikes being forced to help out when she could hang around with her friends. She isn't very hyper about the festival, because of her mother, and she learnt how to enjoy it again in this episode.

Yes, this is a moeblob show, but to say nothing happened in the past 4 episodes is weird.

Helping out is perfectly fine, but I just don't like the idea of forcing an elementary school student to do so rather than let them hang out with friends. I'm just not a fan of Japan's huge emphasis on education and hard-work over entertainment, particularly at such a young age. So it is definitely a cultural difference thing. "Child labor" may not have been the most appropriate term, since it has a much greater negative connotation then I had intended, so I apologize for that.

Japan is far from the only "developed" country where kids work. Your profile doesn't say where you are from, but I can assure you from personal experience that even in the US there are still plenty of places where small business owners or 'self employed" individuals expect all able bodied family members to pitch in when help was needed. Financial need usually outweighs most other concerns.

It's not like the girls are working in a factory tied to a machine. Helping out in their family owned shop helps teach them about work ethics and about working together as a family. Most kids have chores they need to do in their home or on a farm. As long as the kids are not being abused and over worked I would think it is fine for them to help out in the shop.

How did a light fun anime turn into a discussion on "child labor." How about that talking bird... hmm?

Dera should get a job. At the very least, he should help in their shop. I notice one of them is often fanning the dough - he has wings, doesn't he? ;)
