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? ;)


He might get some feathers in the dough... But at least it would look festive.

Anko-centered episode!! Really cute, I thought Anko liked the other boy at first. I especially loved the flashback to the festival with Anko & Tamako's mother and then Anko helping the little kids the same way her mother did. Really heartwarming.

Great episode, very cute. Too bad for Mochizou, passing out before he reaches Tamako..
lol at the end, "It was this one?". Good for Anko.
5/5. Next episode looks great as well.

to tell the truth i was planing to drp these anime

but it rely groth in me

it just so beautiful, i love the landscape, the light effect the characters i just beautiful
these side characters is great theat guy in the music store and the old man in green suit are my favorites and all the others to,

the opening beautiful
the ending beautiful

i love the hair

man these anime is the best anime to look at the season just for the art work

but sorry to say i'm not into the story or the comedy
as slice of life it work so fine but not in the same way as the comedy slice of life

it more like Aria and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou it kind of relaxing good looking anime

Cute episode with Anko as the main focus, though not too much happened. It was a nice twist to have her smitten with the "sweet" boy instead of the typical girl's crush stereotype.

I always find this show pleasant to watch, it may not have much plot and be pretty similar to K On but it's still enjoyable. Dera for comedy, nice bit of romance and character interaction as well as decent animation.

Ok, so a few eps in. The friggin' bird is really ridiculous. Paha. Anko is cute as buttons. Kanna is a qt also.

And I love this thing between Tamako and Mochizou (who is a darling). I say thing though, she couldn't even tell her sister has a lil crush, so poor Mochizou.

Cute episode! I'm glad that it was the guy with glasses she liked instead, nice plot twist, and gave some love to an under appreciated sort of character.

I don't expect anything from this show except for constant cuteness!

Anko having a crush on the megane kun instead of the usual "generic handsome school boy" was a nice twist.
Looks like she's getting used to the bird too, and he's probably the only one who calls her An.

i knew from ep1 that anko is gonna be good

i cant be any more right about that

at least tamako is denser than chitanda

nice to have shiori coming back

lol anko used the same words on the kid

conclusion: anko = chibi azusa

5/5 easy

This was probably the most enjoyable ep for me, it was cute and while, like the rest of the show, generic it was more tolerable than usual. It didnt even need the bird to carry it

I didn't like this episode as much as the last, but it was still an improvement over the first two. This time we focus on Tamako's imouto Anko as she continues to struggle against being a mochi shop owner's daughter. I think it's a nice light little conflict to introduce, and it was especially well illustrated by her not being able to hang out with her friends on a holiday because the shop will be busy. In the end it seems natural the show wouldn't be too serious, it is primarily sugary sweet after all, but still it was a nice touch that made the moe moppet come to life a little bit more.

I also liked the minor plot line involving Tamako and Anko's mother. The episode begins with a flashback in which their face obscured mother, dresses Anko up as like I guess a shrine maiden or something. She is fussy about the whole process but her mother talks her through it. It is somewhat subtly implied this uninvited memory might also be a reason she is discontented as the festival goes on. It comes full circle when the reason she misses out on going with her friends, is flower shop owner enlists her help in dressing up another young girl in the same fashion. Anko in a sweet scene, employs the same techniques to soothe the child as her mother once did. And then she feels a sense of obligation to stay and watch her.

I think Anko was the strongest part of the episode. I also agree with whoever said, it somewhat stunned me when the boy she liked turned out to be the glasses one. And the closet scene was the cuteness climax, it was just too precious. But I thought the festival theme of the episode was not too shabbily implemented. The Bird standing in as their mascot, and especially Mochizu struggling to carry the shrine because he thought it would bring him and Tamako closer both made me chuckle.

I think it's probably not the smartest approach with a twelve episode series like this, to try and cover all the seasons and as many SOL cliches as you can. It'd be nice to just have you know normal episodes, like last week that focus on the characters and not their interpretation of a big theme. But still this show can be very watchable even at its most formulaic. So ah well I'll probably see this anime through to the end.

Another good episode, I really liked it. Anko at the beginning was so cute >.<

And also, poor Mochizou. Tamako is so dense with him. Not to mention that it's kinda funny that Anko is the only one in her family that knows what is happening.

And in the end, I thought Anko had a crush on that black-haired kid but I was wrong. However, I'm glad she likes the megane kid instead. They look really cute together, being honest.

All in all, it was a really nice episode.

Cute girls doing cute things is a genre that i tend to enjoy. Anime like K-on, Aria, and Non Non Biyori one that i have finished very recently gave me quite the satisfying feeling when watching them.
Tamako Market feels off, while it definitely has the same tropes it fails to give me the same satisfaction as other anime of its kind, atleast so far. But with having seen 1/3 of the anime i'm pretty doubtful it will change.

Also Dera is pretty annoying wouden't mind seeing him go.
