Phew finally got through this one month later, I guess part of me hates watching a good thing come to an end. It was nice to revisit the reminiscently slow and relaxing pace of Aria. The exhibition was interesting, really displayed everyone's talents and passions. Norie really seems serious about making sweets, Kaoru has finally found something to follow with her aromas, Maon is more confident with her storytelling (albeit sad endings o_o), and Fu's pictures are heartwarmingly simple. Komachi's photos were...uhh, good too :p that lunatic.

I like how they wrapped things up. The idea that things won't always go as planned, but that with a new perspective what was a disappointment before may now be something wonderful. That can even be tied into Fu's father, since that was a long running idea throughout the series. The idea that even though he's gone, he's left a legacy for Fu to be able to look for the beauty of the world through her camera lens. I also like Fu's thoughts on what it means to take photos as well. It really did speak to me and makes me want to go out and start taking pictures too.

Overall it was simple and cute with some nice messages and things to reflect on, albeit a bit boring and hard to watch sometimes. I can't really say it made me think as much as Aria did, but it was still a pleasantly easy going series and I'll be sure to check out More Aggressive in the near future. Overall, I'll give this a 7/10.

5/5

Anime series that does not have as an objective to represent the hard life of every day. It is mostly a gentle and relaxing slice of life, which has gained a lot of sympathy in me.
Sweet ending, and I liked it, did not finish as often happens in other souls without making sense, each episode has aimed to give a deeper meaning to various situations, gorgeous!
Designs are simple but cute, cute and well-made backdrops.
Cute characters, very nice OST. I can not wait to see the second season.
Final rating that goes from 7/10 to 8/10.

I really love this series very calm and enjoyable. The OP song is one of the most relaxing song that I have heard from Maaya Sakamoto. This show is up there along with ARIA and Kimi to Boku. :)

7/10

Good episode. Komachi had her little victory over Fuu, and everyone grew up a little over the course of the year and found and settled in the path that they like. I also liked how it portrayed the small town life where almost everyone knows each other and don't hesitate to help each other out.
Even though I thought the last few episodes were sometimes a little boring, this was overall a pretty good and relaxing series that always made me forget everything else during the time I watched an episode. It gets an 8.5/10 from me. Can't wait to watch the next season.

Nice ending. I guess that's why the secnd season has Agressive in its name. Sayomi needs to be more careful! She could've killed them! That teacher needs to confess to Hoboro-san! I need to know what happens between them! Onto the next season!

Such a relaxing and soothing anime I've ever watched. Makes me enjoy more on the simple moments in life and be passionate on what you love. 8/10 overall

Didn't like this one and mainly it was because it was so darn wishy washy, corny and moeish to a point of annoyance.

Which took it to the point of feeling pandering and when you pander the show feels disgenuine.

Plus it didn't feel like it had anything clever to say. Most of ideas were the kind of "no shit" type.

Sketchbook was much better SOL from the same studio.

@up, no.

Now I fully understand why some people are hyping this show so much!
It was really nice SOL show, not that good like Non Non Biyori for example, but still great. 8/10.

Glad that the We Exhibition turned out good for them,and also New Year happened in this ep.kinda awkward watching this ep 2 days before New Year

Gotta love what Potte quoted in this ep that someday your precious moments will go on separate ways so treasure it while you still can with your camera lol.

As a series itself, it's relaxing, there are some cheesy moments, average art at its best, Maon greatly developed in this series from a whistling character to an aspiring recitalist, Norie still a shotacon, Potte finally realized the treasures behind photography, Kaoru finally realized what her true goal is after worrying on it due to her friends.

Overall not as great as what the previous director produced but still good I guess 7/10
Now onto the next season

What a seriously adorable anime. I absolutely loved seeing these characters grow and learn together. It's like the inverse of Non Non Biyori, where NNB is focused on comedy with peaceful moments, Tamayura is focused on the calming nature with funny moments.

I really loved this, it was always making me smile and gives a really "feel-good" tone. 10/10 for me.

Damn, the exhibition was a stellar success, makes me proud of the girls.

It was also a good new years episode, too bad they had to experience the "first sunrise" like that. Some day Sayomi will kill those kids, she's lucky she had a great luck reading :-D

I thought she'd fall with the car when looking for those things, it Would've been something though.

Nice get together pic by Potte at the end.

This was a good chilled vibe show. I enjoyed it, as it had its moments and stuff. The heartwarming moments made it a show to remember for me, and I also liked the characters. I see we didn't have a Norie episode, but hopefully we will have it in the next season I will watch. The music was also the good factor about this along with the standard animation. Good slice of life plot too, with some moe moments to remember.

7/10.

Exhibition goes with pretty fun feeling.. ;P Started with Komachi bringing in some spice, then Momoneko blessing, and some visitors' reactions are funny as well.. ;P
Overall, I enjoyed this anime more for its' sadness.. And for ideas of new perspective and things like that - around photography, and not only.. On life as well.. But also I'm not too sure, how anime will go next.. Maybe it'll gain a bit too much focus on some work stuff.. Which can be fine, but I personally enjoyed other stuff more.. Of ideas and emotions.. But for now - quite enjoyed this anime..

Very nice series and very nice ending. I'm a big sucker for the "power of friendship" and this hit the spot. I especially liked all the girls' backstory moments, double especially when they all unknowingly met each other as kids at the same spot (I'm also a big sucker for that "pre-destiny" or whatever named kind of trope).

The OST was stellar, too, capturing that laid back and solemn nostalgia feeling perfectly.

I wish the other seasons and movies had gotten licensed but I'm pretty content without.

The final phase of otaku / anime enthusiast in life : being an "slice of life" and "iyashikei" lovers.

When u re still young (in this context : kids until teenager), u may disliked Tamayura and related shows, due to flat n boring storyline. But when u re grown up & get older. u will discover the beauty inside of SoL & iyashikei shows. Believe me.

2022. I've watched another SoL + Iyashikei stuff like Non-Non Biyori, Super Cub, and Yuru camp. Tamayura is another hidden diamond that i discovered. Tamayura fulfilled my expectation for an "healing" anime. It's so calming & slow paced. Good to watch after long exhausting days. I love the concept of "the power of photography" in Tamayura. It teach me to cherish every moments & memorize it (with photo or video).

8/10 for Tamayura. I'm gonna proceed for next season ("More Agressive"). Btw, it also have another 4 movie / specials after the series. It's on my watchlist too.

@masterjisamsu You perfectly said what I was feeling. Tamayura is one of the best SOL anime and I'm really glad that I was able to watch this masterpiece but I'm also sad that It'll end after I finish the rest of the seasons/movies because I don't want it to end 😭
