Nothing surprising here...

Yet again Kyoani delivers a nice relaxing slice of life anime.

To be fair, this wasn't as great as some of their other slice of life, but it still had plenty of good moments filled with a very interesting talking bird.

Bolded for emphasis. Kanna really made this show. I totally loved her good bye gift to choi (even though it was meant to be a joke).

Also, who wouldn't want a hammer, blessed by the touch of the Mistress of Masonry, master builder Kanna? (yes, I AM laying on thick here :P)
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

Even though it went classic really-went-nowhere ending, Tamako Market was a relaxing and an enjoyable series considering so little happened overall. I guess the show could've gone in many directions given the starting premise so I felt that the story with our prince & Choi was a nicely done small plot with nice characters. Overall I like Tamako Market, but without its wonderful visuals & a bubbly cast, I would've left this at the doorstep.

Good ending for what it is. A relaxing slice of life MOE anime. But anime didn't have that impact of the ultimate slice of life MOE anime K-ON!

Still one of better slice of life anime out there....

Final ep - 4/5

Series - 7.5/10

NEXT CHUU2BYOU AWESOME...... <3 THAT SERIES.....

I think Tamako Market had a lot of things that could have been developed more in order to catch the attention and fondness from the public.


I would have preferred a slice-of-life comedy that never introduced all those possible plot points. The series gave me a lot of false impressions because they kept bringing up things that could have led to an actual storyline.

It was a pretty nice anime and nice to watch tho i have a feeling it will be a while before we see the next Kyoani moe slice of life anime.
The concept is getting a bit old now and it's a bit to much of the same so i don't know how much longer Kyoani can get away with this kind of anime.

I have no clue why I picked this anime to be the 1st one I post about on here when I have watched so many more that were better, but here I am...

If it weren't for the art great animation (I like these animators) I think this would be a throwaway. That said i think the message of this show was to make the case for not growing up too fast. Tamako takes the time to take inventory of her life and decides she likes where she is -Not too grown up.
She chooses to stay oblivious to the neighbor kid and opening up the can of worms that a relationship would bring. Her friends all see it but she chooses not too.

The tan girl does the same thing when she decides not to know more by reading Tamako's fortune and hides what is probably the mole on her neck. It takes her a year to realize it's OK not to rush into growing up. The fact that the market is "like a festival" is another indicator that all of the people who have grown up are trying not to lose the same perspective. It's an island outside of life's harshness.

Maybe it shouldn't take this much creative effort and 12 episodes to end up where everyone started but it was, to me, a pretty fun little escape from reality too.

7.8642 out of 10.

PS I'm an old dude (46) who stumbled on Anime about 6 years ago. I worked as a graphic artist and mural painter for years so I tend get suckered in by good illustration and don't mind a weak story.

Gonna miss it T__T I wish Mochizou confessed to Tamako but at least he got her a great present! Kanna's gift to Choi was hilarious. A really fun series! Even though it lacked a really strong plot, I still really enjoyed it.

Since the series is directed by Naoko Yamada, the same director for K-On! and K-On!!, they'll at least add an extra episode in the DVD pack. Also, since both K-On! and K-On!! got OVAs, Tamako Market will most likely get an OVA too.

So I'm predicting at least two more episodes in this season.

As for the episode, I haven't watched it yet (no English subs out >_<), but I'm hoping for a second season, but before Tamako Market season 2, they should work out K-On! season 3 (most likely will be titled K-On!!!, but I mean, they have enough chapters with the main girls in college and little Azusa forming a band with Ui and Jun with two new freshman in the manga, so I girl can dream, right?)

As for Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! season 2, I never watched the series, and I'm not that interested (not saying it's bad, though). I'm just hoping Kyoto Animation can do another season of a series that came out way before Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! (like Haruhi Season 3, maybe some more visual novels), so I'm hoping Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai season 2 isn't Kyoto's next work, but I'm not saying the series should never have a second season, it's just too early, since most Kyoto sequels wait two or more years, well, minus K-On!.


I'm taking it you're a girl like me.

I don't know why you're not interested, but if it's because of the "action" it's actually a slice of life with some drama in the last few episodes.


Well, I do like action anime, it's just, Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai! feels different, and not in a good way. I haven't been watching KyoAni in a while, and although Tamako Market was average work, I don't think I'll be watching this series anytime soon, (and Kyoto Animation keeps on reusing the moe that looks similar to K-On!), and the only reason why I watched Tamako Market is because of the team that worked on it, but it was exactly what I expected, another K-On!. So don't feel like watching anymore moe work from this company again.

Anyway, as for Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai season 2, there is none. If I remember correctly, I was checking the spring season anime list, and although it has Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai, it is not the second season. It's just an original animation the working team has put together, needless to say, you get one more episode until season 2 arrives. It'll air June 19, 2013.

Also, this series isn't doing good in sales? I always thought this was basically a test to see if K-On! fans will stick around for a third season if they'd make one, now I hope it isn't some random test.

After twelve episodes of Tamako Market I know two things for sure.
a. Mochi seems to be some sort of ambrosia
b. Dera is the star of the show

Based on Dera's antics the series would deserve an 8/10 but I'm trying to find more content to judge by. Was there a certain plot that has been followed? No. Any hidden messages for the audience, not only concerning the show but also life in general? Barely. Even romance was only *hinted* at with no real results...
It may be KyoAni who's in charge of this anime but I would've expected more of them. I'm sorry, Dera, you're awesome and made the show so damn entertaining, but my overall score amounts to only 6/10.

I totally agree about the rating... actually i loved the series and i knew this last episode was gonna be bad but it was a little worse than bad and really just kinda ruined it for me. One thing, I wish they established who the wife would be instead of Tamako. And I really wanted to know some of the answers to the questions that the people had for the prince, like how old he was. :D And mochizou's lack of confession... though i liked that he managed to give her a present and the show full cycled in a good way but i think it would have been better if Dela didn't come back in the box.

Hey prince, did you know your name can be translated as "Mochi is super yucky" in Japanese?
Also the prince changes clothes really fast. When he first sits down for tea he's in winter wear then 5 seconds later he's in his traditional wear.
A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

Didn't really get the whole "last episode" vibe from this, but I guess that's to be expected if there's going to be a second season.

Watched it cause it was introduced in Chuunibyo, stayed for Dela. The show is slightly above average with only a few points where you can laugh (despite being a comedy show) and some moe.

6/10 for me, at least it was quite relaxing to watch.

I've asked before, but haven't gotten an answer.

Why do people like Kanna so much? Her most memorable trait is that her voice sounds like she has a stuffy nose. And she likes construction stuff.

The character just happen to appeal to people. By logical thinking we can take it this way, at least using the main cast:

- Tamako is airheaded as hell
- Mochizou a coward (in love, at least)
- Midori acting like a spoiled brat
- Dera is an interesting character, but well, he's a bird

That only leaves us with Shiori and Kanna, both of them really "elegant" characters, always calm. Kanna happens to win because of his weird demeanor. At the right moments, it really shines.

I feel like this is going to get a second season. I'm not sure why, but the way it ended gives me that feeling.

I had a great time watching this. Tamako Market is really light hearted. I always looked forward to watching each new episode because I knew I could just sit back and enjoy it.

I also LOVED Dera's little narrations at the end of each episode. He really made this anime.

1. I only concerned for Mochizou's feeling, and I was kinda relieved that the bride wasn't Tamako.
2. Why did Mochizou only give Tamako a box of flower (Dera doesn't count) ? If she was me, I won't be satisfied -_-
3. Whenever I give someone a gift, Im secretlysaid Kanna's line in my heart:3 Kanna was CUTE. MOE.
4. Ouji-sama came to Japan for nothing :|

The ending was OK, not that good, but just OK. Everything went back to normal.
I only survived because of curious of Mochizou's confession and throughout the series, BAM. Nothing happened. That's all -_-

Because this show has no impact, it's way too normal for most of the people.
Can't speak about Hyouka but Chuunibyou had way better elements than Tamako, I honestly can't take you serious when you're saying that Tamako is a lot better.
