| Not as good as KyoAni's other series... but it was enjoyable anyway. |
| Eh dat ending. I want Tamako x Mochi!!! The show was fun.. gonna miss it. |
 |
| So it's over. Well it was a nice cute relax little series but hardly something memorable or exciting and i guess that about it. If you watch it for the story you would be disappointed if you watch it because you just came home tired of the bricks in your work and simply want to watch something warm and cute to feel better then i guess it will be really nice. |
| So basically... nothing happened. Nothing interesting, at least. Quite disappointed in this, I looked forward to this at the beginning of the season but now I kind of regret watching it just because it's KyoAni. They could have done this so much better. Plus, I never laughed at this. Animation was flashy though, as always. Cute does not equal a good anime, so this gets a 4/10 from me. |
| Great show, has a certain charm to it and lovable characters. Underwhelming ending, but nonetheless satisfying. The show could have had a higher ceiling, but it gets an 8/10 from me. |
| I greatly enjoyed Tamako Market and loved the atmosphere it created. Kyoto Animation, you sure know how to satiate my soul with these masterpieces. |
| Nice ending to the show :) Tamako telling about her life in the market and Dera trying to talk the prince out of the marriage (which turned out to be a mistake though) was nice to see, but Dera leaving without a goodbye was sad. But I was happy again when Dera accidentaly lay down in Mochizou's box :D Choi touched her necklace (or whatever that golden ring is called)... could she also have a birthmark under it? I hope so, because that would mean they can married :D I'm pretty sure that's what she wants :) This was a pretty funny anime. Of course it wasn't anything spectacular or even new, but it was really good at making me laugh and it also had that healing/soothing effect that some shows have (like Aria, Tamayura and even K-On!), so it did its job alright. It didn't have much of a story, just a little one, but that was done fine. The characters were the strongest point of this anime and they were pretty much all loveable, I could not name anyone that I didn't like at least a bit. There was some character development, but I would have hoped to see a bit more (24 episodes would have been better for so many characters). My favorite has to be Anko, she was just so cute :) My order of favorites: Anko > Dera and Tamako > Choi, Midori and Mochizou My only problem with the characters was that they sometimes reminded me of the characters of K-On!. I like K-On! so it's not bad in that sense, but I just don't want to see another cast that's like them. I'm also sad that the romance didn't really go anywhere in the end. I hoped that poor Mochizou would get together with Tamako :) Midori would have been fine as well though :D (I'm pretty sure she has romantic feelings for Tamako). Like I said, the comedy was great, especially when Dera was around. I didn't really have a problem with the reusing of the K-On! animation style. The anime gets an 8/10 from me, would like to see a 2nd season of it. Until then I might rewatch this in the future if I need something to make me happy :) |

| Ahh, I really loved this anime :'D I felt like it was completely HILARIOUS at the beginning of the series, then slowly lost its humor towards the latter part, but nevertheless kept me laughing all the way C: I LOOOVVVEEEE how cocky Dera can be and the way he struts, LOLOL. Plus, how the Mochimazzwi family thinks sneezing is a declaration of love *diesss* XD I'm glad that Shiori-chan's character developed and she grew out of her shyness enough to show that she's a very sweet girl who cares for her friends. At first, I didn't really like her too much since she seemed arrogant and not acknowledging of Tamako's friendship, but I grew to be fond of her (: Her personality just lacks confidence, so she has trouble being social. The prince's bodyguards reminded me of Ultimate Muscle, haha. I expected Choi-chan to end up being the princess, but oh well. One day :] Anko is such a cutie pie! Too bad she didn't tell Yuzuki-kun that she likes him ^__^ I also thought the florist was either gay or androgynous because she sounds like a guy, hahaha XD She's still pretty though <3 and I felt bad for Afro-man's unrequited love D; but he'll be okay~ Not to mention, the record store owner is soooo deep and insightful! Gosh, he gives out the best proverbs to the point where I don't even understand some of it, LOL. The only thing is that I wish there was more romance between Tamako and Mochi-kun TT___TT I know they're still young and only high school freshmen, but still! I was rooting for himmm D; Oh, and I'm pretty sure Midori-chan has a girl crush on Tamako :P I also wanted to see more of Tamako's mom and dad love story. That was my favorite episode. It was so cute seeing him blush ^.^ Or just something more about her mom in the picture. It's okay though. With only 12 eps, they did a pretty good job. I would definitely recommend to other people ;D |

| That part where Dera was leaving was nicely done. It almost brought a tear to my eye. I'm not sure it is was good to leave him there. I enjoyed the ride and I'm glad I finished this, even though it took me a while. 8/10 |
| Pretty decent ending, was quite sweet actually! Good that she didn't went for it but still made it quite remarkable! A nice ending for this kind of anime! 7/10 |

| It didn't try to push jokes on the viewer like Chuunibyou and the quality of the anime itself is a lot more consistent than Hyouka. A really nice Slice of Life with likable characters and it didn't overuse certain ''gags'' in contrary to Minami-ke for example. First KyoAni show I enjoyed from the beginning to the end! 7/10 |
 |
LovingHate said: I'M GONNA CRY I hope KyoAni comes out with something similar to Tamako Market just with a more satisfaction for viewers sigh i didn't really like the ending but it wasnt too bad i sorta sad mochizou never confessed, i really wanted to confess right at the end oh well this. |
 |
| I WANT A 2ND SEASON. ;3; |
| damn it is finally end :X it is a nice anime :3 in the end ouji is not come to take tamako but to take dera and choi XD that moment when tamako opening the present and its dera XD lol XD not a sad happy ending but happy happy ending :p (8/10) |
| The Prince and Choi and rooster spoiled the whole anime, and so very nice cute slice of life. 7/10. |
| Nice slice of life. Kind of series that is great to watch one or two at a time. 7/10 |

The show was fun.. gonna miss it. & i want Tamako x Ooji O My maybe u meant him to, both him & prince starts with Mochi, so i ton't get which one u meant :D http://myanimelist.net/character/75186/Mochizou_Ooji http://myanimelist.net/character/76058/Mecha_Mochimazzi |
| Oh i cried im so glad Dera stayed at the end WHY ISNT THIS 26 EPS Well im gonna cry until the movie comes out 9/10 (Midori x Mochi btw) |
 |
| In honor of finishing this show, I ate some mochi ...with ice cream in it. Sadly, I I don't live in a traditional Japanese mochi shop in a close-knit market community, so the only mochi I get is fusion cuisine from the mall. But eh, 6/10. Less of the talking bird and more of Mochizou being adorbz please. |
 |
| Man... this was a lot better than I thought it was going to be! The first episode was VERY average, but from the second episode onwards I was hooked! Loved it! |
 |
| Why/What do people don't like [about] this show ? (still has a decent MAL score though) Just finished it, it may not the the best plot wise but i found the characters (K-ON like) and events very enjoyable. I'll definitely watch the romance part on the movie. |
 |
| Nice ending, I'm really looking forward to watch "Love Story". 7/10 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Well.. the Prince can be a quite air-head too!! Mochiyucky... I mean Mochiyummy!! Tamako's Decision!! Dera's Plead!! Well... PROBLEM SOLVED. Its a misunderstanding from the start anyways.. HOPE was revived!! ( for the two atleast lol!!) Farewells and parting of paths .. (for now!!) Christmas and New year!! Damn.. Dera why did it went with that!! I almost cried for you shit!! (almost.) Omedetou Tanjo-bi Tamako!! Pretty good ending!!! Great Episode!!! Conclusion , It was a worth-while 12 episodes full of enjoyment and excitement. One of the best "MOE" and "KAWAII" type of anime I ever seen!! and I grateful for KyoAni for successfully producing and creating such wonderful anime!!! Characters are really KAWAII :D Only wish : PRODUCE MORE SEASONS and Best Wishes for the Sales :) (though, If the budget is not enough ... Well.. I completely satisfied with just OVAs and Movies :D) Note : OP and ED were amazing!!! That ED song was really great!!! Need also same animes like TAMAKO MARKET TOO!! (Same Characters is really needed.) |

| Honestly this was nothing special,basically nothing happened 5/10 (might lower to 4/10 eventually). |
| lol poor Kaana with her hammer. She deserved more screen time on the show. Also, she reminded me a bit of Rin from Katawa Shoujo. That speech by Tamako was quite touching. The scene where Dera was leaving was also done very well. That weird bird grew on me over the course of the series. And going by the way Choi was touching the ring(?) around her neck, seems like she also has a mole on her neck hiding behind it. Overall, this show was quite enjoyable and gets a 6/10 from me. It would have been 7/10 had the first six episodes been as good as the second half. |
| bawled once when tamako made her speech bawled twice when kaoru closes the box while dera lies in it... thought he was gonna get shipped ;_; glad to see mochizou save the day onto dem specials nao 5/5 hands down |
  |
| Ugh I had no interest to finish this but for the sake of watching the movie (which I'm hyping up to the max) I did. Plus, KyoAni graphics are always nice. There's nothing I cared about other than Mochizou and Tamako's relationship. The other female characters were boring. The plot was boring. Even the episode with the father singing was boring. Well, now I can watch the movie! VanishingKira said: Honestly this was nothing special,basically nothing happened 5/10 (might lower to 4/10 eventually). Exactly my thoughts. |
| Ahh, the ending was super sweet. Overall, I think I'll give the show a 7/10. The main story was definitely lacking, but the show was cute and enjoyable nonetheless. |
 |
| Such a heartwarming series, definitely worth watching.. now onto the movie, i'm so excited to see Tamako x Mochizou moment xD Overall score 8/10 |
 |
| I just cried a little every episode. 9/10 |
Raitei said: I only watched this anime because I'd seen the movie score really well on MAL, but I have to admit I ended up really enjoying this show despite how low it is ranked. The animation is extremely pretty to look at, the story is easy going and fun, and there were moments that hit hard emotionally. A solid 8/10 for me. I was thinking about this recently after watching the movie, and I think it's because even though the show itself wasn't spectacular, getting the character development we do in the show really enhances the viewing experience of the movie. We know Tamako and co. a lot better by the time we hit the movie because of the cour worth of watching them get fleshed out. So I feel it's a little unfair that anime fans generally give short shrift to Tamako Market; I would dare say it's required viewing before the movie. |
| It was ok. It may have come across as boring as some points, but that's slice of life at its finest. Just something mildly entertaining, that you can sit down and relax and watch. Actually got really sad when I thought that Dera was going to leave. Glad he stayed. Overall 7/10 |
| Waaaaa I really liked the ending!! Dera in a box XDDD So kawaiiiii |
| I don't understand those people who are saying that this is better than Hyouka. I'm a KyoAni fan, but this is the worst show that they made IMO. No character development, jokes are not that funny and nothing happened in the whole series, plus that annoying bird. 4/10 |

| Totally thought Dera was going to be shipped off somewhere. That was a pretty satisfying ending. 6/10 |
 |
| Is it a masterpiece? No Are the story and the characters bland AF? Yes Is it boring? Yes Are there other KyoAni/moe works that suffer from this kind of problem? Absolutely It certainly doesn't deserve more than a 5/10 but it's definitely not the worst KyoAni show, considering that we're talking about the same studio that made the "thought provoking masterpieces" Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren (fucking piece of shit), Kyoukai no Kanata (also terrible) and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu/Endless 8 (boring and repetitive), just to name a few Tamako Market isn't bad. Just not particularly memorable, apart from the tranny voiced by Daisuke Ono and the love story between the little sister and that guy with the glasses (which I thought was really cute) 5/10 |

| I kind of liked this series. Weak start but it really grew on me. It was frequently cute, made me laugh quite a few times, I ended up liking a lot of the main cast. It was just let down by flimsy writing, particularly an unimpressive and frankly bordering on racially insensitive main plot. Not a terrible series by any means, I'll probably remember it a little fondly. But certainly one of the weaker KyoAni series I've seen, I guess Phantom World might have been a little worse. All in all 7/10, I don't know I rate entirely based on feelings not objectively sometimes I'm a little too nice to shows. As a finale there was a lot I really liked. For one thing I was a fan of the overall direction it took. I thought Tamako going to live with the Prince was a bad ending, and her speech to her friends and later the whole arcade about what the Arcade means to her and why she doesn't want to leave was really good. This show had a great setting (one of it's strong suits) and it totally earned some warm fuzzies there. I also liked the Prince once it became clear he wasn't whisking Tamako away. He was cool and not recognizing Dera did make me laugh. One thing I really didn't like though, was by the end it didn't feel like we'd reach a meaningful conclusion. Neither Mochi nor Midori had made significant progress in advancing a relationship with Tamako. No characters had really changed that much, except maybe Anko and the Dad. The only thing I guess that really happened was the arrival and then departure of the islanders. Plus the final scene itself was just kind of awkward and not that rewarding to me. Maybe I'm nitpicky but for starters why did the florist not notice the fat ass chicken in her bouquet? The very last scene in a show can drop or raise your opinion of shows dramatically I think, and this one definitely hurt it more than helped it. Maybe the lack of progress was OK though. It was a surprisingly high concept one but this was just a slice of life anime after all. You know what you're in for and they're not known for having complex narratives. And I'm happy they didn't force an ending like Tamako going with Mochi or Midori I might not have liked. I see there's a sequel movie, may see if I can find a torrent easily. Don't think I'll go out of my way for it though. |

| It was good as a "lets finish tonight's binge by watching something laid back" series, but it doesn't really do much more than that. The ending lacked any real impact and sort of ended on a jarring note. This show was "cute girls doing cute things" with a much more down to earth approach where the moe came from character flaws and mannerisms instead of unrealistically childish behavior. The story was average, aesthetic direction was average, the audio was above average, the characters were above average in that they all had personalities and weren't totally shallow, and I derived an average amount of entertainment from the series. Given these five scoring categories at two points each (0 being trash, 1 being average, and 2 being exceptional), this series earns a 6/10 from me (above average earns 1.5). Overall slightly above average and worth a watch if the synopsis sounds like something you would be interested in despite it not quite delivering what it promises. |
| well the show was a fun slice of life.... enjoyed it pretty much |
 |
| Well it was fun. 6/10 for me. I wish this show will be 24 episodes. ;) |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Just finished this series, specials and the movie, all in one go. Started liking it and ended up loving it, and it would have been perfect if only some charitable soul had shot that bird down early in the first episode. So 8/10. |
 |
| The story and characters were all solid, i'll admit I was myself a little worried when Tamako interrupted Dela's speech as to why she wasn't fit to be a princess. A few holes in the plot that I wish were resolved were Cho's relationship with the Prince - she was fumbling with her necklaces at the end, I expected her to reveal a mole there. Also Tomio never got to reveal his true feelings which must have sucked. Really looking forward to the movie! |
