I was having trouble sleeping last week. I watched this on Friday before going to sleep and now I sleep like a baby. Real story.

Tamayura cures insomnia.

I was pretty surprised when it ended. I didn't expect it to end without anything happening at all ._.'...
Oh well... let's hope that something's gonna happen in the next episode.

It was OK in every way. Nice background animations. The music was so-so. The characters doesn't feel original and it's not the type of characters I like but still they're OK. Fun to watch an anime about photography, that's a +. And as mentioned above, it's relaxing :)
But afterall it's only average.
Hopefully the rest of the episodes will be funnier :3

I found this anime by chance, and now I'm falling for it...

Very cute and healing!!! As expected from ARIA's director.

Look forward to the next episode.

Like a breath of fresh air.
It has an airy sort of feel to it that I haven't felt while watching an anime for quite some time. Not since Sketchbook, I think.
Something that's Slice of life that isn't trying to make me laugh or die from visual moe moe overload... (Unlike K-ON.)

*Wonders when the next episode will pop up*

Wow, when Fu started narrating I was like that's Azu-nyan's voice! It fits her. This gives off a warm and fuwa fuwa feeling and I love Aria so much but too bad this is only 4 episodes. I wish for at least 12 or 13 ^3^

Feels like a great mix of Aria, Sketchbook and the Yotsuba&! manga, which can only mean: Instant Favorite! :D

I liked pretty much every character, Sato did a good job of creating them and making them come to life as none felt like just a cheap mashup of clichés, but rather endearingly ... unique :D.

I'm disappoint it's only gonna be 4 eps, but sure the other 3 are gonna be equally as awesome :).

A question about the OP. As far as I can tell it's called "Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara" and is the same as the ending theme in Kikis Delivery Service:

So is it borrowed from that movie or is it an even older japanese (folk)song?

Looks like another for my collection. being a fan of just this type of anime. Also the town is enchanting! For other location interested people, This appears to be Osaki-Shimozima island (search 大崎下島 in google maps) there are four smallish towns on that rock, and I think this anime is located at ohama town.

Edit - I maybe wrong - a lot of the details put this on the mainland, Hiroshima prefecture, Takahara city in the Honmachi section of town.

Relaxing and touching. While it might not be the most original plot in the world, I love anything to do with photography so I enjoy it heaps.

Sakamoto Maaya singing the OP stole my heart ♥ DEPAPEPE on guitar was a nice touch of freshness.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Just what I needed. Super-cute and almost as relaxing as Aria ^^

I really like the characters so far, especially the gang Fu hangs out with. Each of them is funny and interesting in her own way.

Also, "Potte" might just be the cutest nickname I've ever heard.

okay, only one thing that really turned me off: Maon Sakurada is annoying as hell. She have a nice voice, interesting character but WTF with that constant whistling?

yep, whistling female is my turn-off point, or probably it have something to do with my local culture. Whistling is fine, but constantly doing it is so annoying. But, only that. Everything else have been done nicely.

Since I'm watching this in chronological order that presented itself with the 12-ep-long show, this was my second episode.
(ep1 > OVAs > ep2...ep5 > ep5.5 > ep6...ep12)
And I can safely say that I'm gonna continue this anime, it's just so relaxing and cute :)
I should really watch Aria after this.

A lovely mystery~

I liked the OP song as it gave that soft rhythm. I'm not too sure on the characters' designs though but I guess some of them fits alright.

Photography is such a lovely hobby tbh.

So based on this episode, the Tamayura is a source of light known as the children of the light? Hmm...

Not too shabby for the first episode. 4/5.

Ah this totally has the relaxing and chilled atmosphere of Aria, I love it. A fun first episode, Fuu is hilariously cute when she stutters up her sentences. The photographs were nice, I can see them being used for heartwarming moments later on.

Not a lot happened and it isn't overwhelmingly special, but I think that's easily overlooked by the enjoyable atmosphere and nice characters. Relaxing first episode.

I've decided to revisit Tamayura, now that the series is finally coming to an end.

I think I like it more now that I have seen the following seasons and the first two movies. The initial chapter of the OVA has such a serene atmosphere and characters that have an element of realism.

Oh man, what a soothing anime already. I really love this kind of calm atmosphere, and the flat use of colours and art style is amazing. To me, the eye style in this anime has a beauty that far surpasses that of the over-done flashy style like in Hibike Euphonium.
