I am so glad this miserable thing is over. I watched it mostly so a few of my friends and I could make fun of it... bad ending, really lackluster way to leave things. I know some other KyoAni shows (like Hyouka) have done the same thing but I was incredibly disappointed at every turn this show took.

The only redeeming factor was episode 9 or 10 where it was revealed her dad was the one that wrote the song Tamako wanted to remember for her mom. ONLY good point of this show.

Cute nothingness is still cute. I enjoyed for what it is. 6/10~
I work in VNs. Sometimes, they have h-scenes and I go "waai~". I also like to not write at Oppai is Justice, a blog with great urls.

All in, I didnt really like this show too much.

KyoAni are capable of far better. The main characters of Tamako and Dera were both really quite bad.

It was the supporting cast that did an ok job of making this more watchable.

A low 6/10 for the whole series from me.

People are happier about Chu-2 (2?) than the ending about Tamako Market. That certainly says a lot.
Me too, i'm excited.

But yeah this show is cute at times but still really pointless.


The whole Prince and bride thing shouldn't even have been an issue.
It was a forced issue at that because KyoAni is not going to marry one of their girls to a guy she doesn't even know.
I mean, this is a girl who barely manages to have menial conversations with a boy across the street who she's already known for a long time.

6/10 and that's being nice. (One of those points is for Kanna.)

I agree with this posting by vampko
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=576545&show=20#msg20965765

And I dont understand those people who are saying this show was shit and boring, nothing happend, unnatural Tamako and stuff. This is a show for younger kids who cant follow a complicated plot. And therefor it was really cute. If you want action or mind blow or the hyper love oktoangle with panties watch some Fairy Tail or so. Also the animation and screenplay was well done. And of course Dera was amazing and Kanna too. Dont forget the fitting voice acting debut for the Tamako character and the rly catchy opening and ending songs. And there ist still room for a next season where the open things will be settled somehow. I really hope that we will see it. Kinda miss this cute warm show until then between all this schoolharemcomedyfanserviceandnakamabattleblabla.

did anyone notice that choi covered her neck when she depart? i think its a mole like tamako has..
anyways i like mochizou's mother :D

6.5/10 (4/10 without kanna :D. i cant feel the slice of life bcoz of talking bird, even w/o the talking bird i still cant feel the slice of life.).

hope kyo-ani make same level with k-on and chuunibyou, should i include hyouka? :D

I've heard that Tamako Market is not doing so well in it's sales, am I right?


The DVD's ranked in at ~620 sales, and the cut-off mark for the BD sales was around 4,000 and Tamako wasn't listed this week in the BD rankings. So basically, it sold under 4,000, which yeah, isn't that good at all.


Wow, for KyoAni that's not good at all. I guess they can take this as a reference in the future of what not to do.


And hopefully they'll use all that pocket cash from Chuunibyou to go for a season two.

Moe is just as much a form of otaku fan service as anything else you mentioned, and that's what this show provided in spades. I found the best parts of this show were the songs and Dera (and you know you're in trouble when I pick the talking bird as one of the high points in a show). In the end, it was a lot like....mochi, pleasantly sweet but in no way exciting or memorable. Personally I'd rather have a hot meat bun, or some takoyaki, or even an umeboshi plum--something that's going to stimulate my tastebuds, has some substance, or will leave me with an enduring memory. 7/10 and I too would rather see a third season of Haruhi.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Besides a couple of nicer episodes, the show feels bland in general.

Kyoani, more effort next time please >_<

5/10 for this bland show

It killed me to see Ouji's eyes in the scene when they were walking to school, because you could tell he had been crying. Poor guy :((

Over all, I ended up enjoying this series much more than I expected! I wish the romance would have developed a little though..

I wouldn't mind a continuation!

lol at those body guards.



Haha every scene with them made me laugh.

ANyways Dera annoyed the hell out of me this episode.

The misunderstanding kind of annoyed me though.

i feel bad for Tamako. Getting scared because she had a bad feeling when all the shops were closed. I'm guessing since it was hinted, that that's how it happened, the same day when her mother died I guess. poor tamako, and here comes in the stupid bird getting his fat ass on her face.

It was calling a friendship moment but he killed it. Oh well they hugged after that anyway.

Lol at Kanna giving Choi a hammer as a present as a joke, but she still took it. And how Tamako was fighting herself to give Choi her medal, haha that was cute too.

Anyways about the whole show, i thoroughly enjoyed it, even the suspense of the "bride' part, even though at the end was a misunderstanding :/. THe animation I will always love, and it was oh so Kawaii! lol.

So it's an 9/10 for moi.

Tamako Market was a treat for me every Wednesday. I needed a break after a week full of study, so taking time off in the evening to drink hot chocolate and watch Tamako Market hit the spot for me. It'll forever be ingrained with my 2013 winter, and I'm glad it is =)

yeah... if this was meant to be a moe blob, it failed at that too. much rather watch k-on.
it definitely was NOT 'GOOD', so it cant be a 7.
'FINE' would be stretching it. 6?
'AVERAGE', ugh, wtf is average nowadays. 5?

guess ill give it a 6, for humouring me.

And so ends a relatively lackluster series. Artwork, animation and characters were all fine, but I felt as though the plot could have been more interesting. Hopefully Kyo-Ani's next series has more impact.

The last episode didn't really feel like a finale until the very end. I hoped this show would be better maybe if they made the prince a bigger part of the show or something. 2/10 overall.

I really liked Tamako Market, maybe I'm being a little bit biased because I love this kind of animes, slice of life that nothing really happens.

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. There was the romance between Mochizou/Tamako, Prince/Choi, they could at least let the poor Mochizou confess to Tamako -.-' I felt sorry for him. They could have made more eps about her mother, maybe the anime could end up going to the drama side and they didn't want this, but I was curious about her mother. Also, Dera was brilliant in the first episodes but It felt like he kinda lost his shine throughout the series. Anyways, it had potential but probably KyoAni wanted to repeat the success of something "plot-less" like K-On! Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

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.

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.

Yeah, It was probably the main reason that led people to be disappointed with the series.
