Yvese said: you're forgetting all this Swag also lolGreat ep. Far less random and slower paced than the first ep which is nice to see. Love all the characters so far, and Midori totally has the hots for Tamako. Hopefully we'll see progress on that front in the coming eps :D Also, seeing cute girls in bunny costumes = win And of course, who can forget the bird? Seriously, I find it hard NOT to like him.  Just look at that #swag Ajunky said: I stopped caring about those details. I see it as a cute and fluffy show so trying to figure out how the bird operates and why everyone acts normally around it is pointless imo.winter_mint said: It's a cyborg bird...just a thought... What "thing" do you guys think that the bird is? A robot that gets fat after eating mochi? @@ the nervous robot speech was so funny xD And I guess this is becoming magical reality, where it's just slightly surprising to see a bird project an image, and the fact that it talks isn't even thought as weird anymore. Just enjoy it ;D  funny episode once again with over dose of moe~ |
 |
| quite enjoyable episode.and i usually not a huge fan of moe overkill. still i cant get over that florist..something is wrong with his/her voice/look... |
| What an adorable episode! Midori crushing on tamako is so cute, I hope they will develop that. also, I love tamako and her dad |
| Pretty lame, pointless and boring in my book.. More enjoyable than the first ep, though. The bird was not even close as annoying as last week. Still it won't hold me watching this any further. |

Either she's transgender, or he's very feminine. There's nothing "wrong" with them. I don't know if you've realized it, but a major theme in this show is accepting unconventional things, be it a talking bird, a transgender/feminine florist, or feelings for someone of the same gender. "Anyone can love anyone they want," as Kana says. |
| Far better than the first episode! |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Ugh, the moe felt too forced and while the story was less random than the first episode, it practically shifted focus to a holiday event and to another character, which is a bit odd for a second episode. All in all, I don't think this episode really did anything, and while I guess that's the point of slice of life shows, it felt more like a holiday special than an episode made to develop the series/characters. The whole Midori/Tamako thing reminds me way too much of Ritsu/Mio's, and given KyoAni's reputation of playing it safe, I can almost guarantee that it will end in the very same manner. (5/10) |

| Not really. |

In reference to the "Mio has a new friend and Ritsu's jealous that she gets less play time with her" episode or two. Was pretty yuri as far as KyoAni yuri goes. In terms of actual lesbian(-ism?), it will likely be similar to how JC Staff handled Minori's from Toradora. Subtly played for a few episodes, then tossed out the window and never mentioned again. |
| I would like to mail her a brush, please fix your lose hair! |
 |
| I love how no one elaborated on the fact that a fat white Japanese speaking bird shot out a projection of light from his eyes or questions who the foreign people on the screen were. Still some what enjoyable though. Tamako x Mochizou for life. I hope Kyoto Animations will deliver. Not a fan of Yuri or Yaoi. |

GatekeeperLamb said: But the series never implied LOVE from girl to girl in Toradora, this episode was pretty straight forward to be honest, which surprises me. Ah, I guess you haven't looked too closely at Minori's love for Taiga in the middle few episodes of the drama arcs (actually I'm not even sure if you need to look closely as it's laid pretty bare). But that's sort of besides the point since this is more a reactions/impressions topic for Tamako. You can discuss it via comments or PMs if you'd like. |
| So... they have the technology to somehow build a robot/projector/bird with a superficial personality that uses the YKK method for connecting cameras from the mouth, but they still use vinyl records? Interesting... a little. |
| Super entertaining! Loved every second second of it. In the other seconds, just had a broad smile on my face. This fluffy feeling of love! Great episode! I am so hooked with the ED song! 5/5 |

"Cheer up, you’re never alone! There is probably at least 1 bug in your room." |
| Nice episode :) lol'd at the stiff facial expressions~ So Midori really has feelings for Tamako, huh... |
| ...i dont know. either last week's episode was much better or i was in a better mood last week cause this week's was pretty boring. i had no idea what the whole blonde hair girl's ordeal was. zzz |
    |
| Great episode, I smiled through the whole episode, although the bird doesn't become the main attention anymore. Such a relaxing, cute, lively and lighthearted series Why Mochizou didn't give Tamako any choco? >.< And does Midori likes Tamako? I remember that I've read it somewhere before.. |

| Tamako's laugh is so cute, and her with kanna in the bunny suits, so moe XD |
 |
| Yuri senses are tingling, which makes this show more interesting. It will probably be subtle knowing that kyoani is doing this, hopefully the characters will develop. I always find the elaborate conceited pose the bird takes hilarious even though the show seems to not mainly focus on him anymore. |
| Kiwi and Mango! ^_^ |
 |
| Ugh I don't like the school girls becoming the main focus at all. Might have to drop it if this keeps up, which it probably will. |
| After being pretty disappointed by the first episode I really enjoyed this. It seems this will be hit and miss for me but definitely going to watch the rest of this. |
 |
 After watching this episode, I'm still very confused. Is this character a guy or girl because I'm pretty sure I'm hearing a male voice. |
 |
 |
| That Fabulous Bird is facing the problem of boys everywhere. |
 |
| Another great episode. I like that it doesn't focus on school or any characters in particular (except Tamako). I really like Tamako's enthusiasm, I would go to her market so often, haha. Once again, a random, but enjoyable episode. A little early, though, being midway through January (not saying the anime must follow our seasons). 5/5. |

animaders said: After watching this episode, I'm still very confused. Is this character a guy or girl because I'm pretty sure I'm hearing a male voice. LOL I'm pretty sure that is a man. He's just kind of girly :P Like a lot of people said, first episode was kind of "eh," but after this week's episode, I think I will like this show. I love Tamako and Mochizou's telephone system, so cute! The two of them seem to be able to communicate with each other very well, especially that scene where Mochizou does some hand motion thing to Tamako to tell her that he will do the talking <3 Cute episode! |
| man those bunny suits are way too cute |
 |
| It's predictable, but i'm enjoying it so far. I'm intrigued by that "prince" and how they'll develop whatever is happening with him. Yes, i'll definitely keep watching this. Though i'm starting to hate the K-on! designs. Sent with Mal Updater |
| A relaxing and laid back episode. The projector bird was weird, I had actually forgotten about that last episode. Anyway, I believe that will be a point for the main plot to take off from. Clearly, this could've done without the bird, but in a way, this gives a path for the story to go at least. About Midori liking Tamako, adds some depth to her character, but as to how significant it'll become from here on out... |
 |
| Oh wow many people here is so sensitive (?) -I don't know the right word, heehee. How could you guys easily found out that Midori got some feeling with Tamako? I didn't see that. I thought that Midori was blushed when Dera projected his prince. I thought (again) that Dera has told her that Dera wants Midori to be the prince fiancee. But, I guess it's just some wild thinking I've got. So, I had no idea that Midori has feelings for Tamako. After watching it again, well, yes, we could get impression that Midori likes Tamako but it doesn't really mean that Midori loves Tamako in that "kind of way". The evidence is just not enough and I think it was just about girls friendship. It's not that I deny that kind of relationship (homosexual) though, it's all right. But, the evidence is just not enough, at least for me. It's more like, what they say back then? "Platonic love"? oh by the way, from MAL's synopsis: ...It's complicated though, especially when it comes to emotions and her relationship with her best boy friend Mochizo, whose family runs a rival mochi shop. And lately, Kanna's been feeling a little odd about her feelings towards Tamako as well. And what's with up with that strange bird fluttering around, the one that speaks fluent Japanese? It's all very mysterious and overwhelming, but at least Tamako always has one thing she can count on: No matter if your day's been good or bad, there's certain to be something sugary and delicious waiting at the end of every adventure whenever you take a walk through Tamako Market! So it actually should be Midori who is confused with her feelings toward Tamako then? |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| Back for my weekly overdose of cuteness. :) |

So it actually should be Midori who is confused with her feelings toward Tamako then? In one of the summaries provided before the show aired, they talked about how Mochizou liked Tamako, and then went on to say how him and Midori often got in fights because she also loved Tamako. So..pretty sure that those are romantic feelings. Not to mention how much the episode was hinting towards it. Anyway, this episode was soooooo much better than the first. I was about ready to fall asleep the first episode, but things really picked up finally! I know Midori won't get what she wants (it's the fate of yuri in any show that isn't centrally yuri) but I'll still root for her! |
| Much better than the first episode, I think. The bird is cool and all, but the human characters should always be the focus. Needs more Anko though. ;_; |
 |
| Kanna is fun. |
| Dat fucking bird LOL! Man the bird makes this show so much more funny, add the moe and I could live w/ this forever. Dat movie bird. |
 |
| This anime needs more of Tamako and her friends and less KFC Also, if wasn't so lazy, I'd shop trollface onto that bird as he was dancing on the "phone" line. Best scene of this ep: Usa usa pyon pyon |
| 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 |
| Now this is just downright amusing. Also.."Everyone has a feeling they can't give a name to..everyone. And it hurts us all inside." Well damn, that sorta hit home. |
 |
| Lol, Midori has feeling for Tamako and those nervous faces on Mochizou and Tamako are just hilarious. |
