What did I just watch?
The comedy is horribly forced and unnatural, the plot makes absolutely no sense, and it fails even the moe saving throw.

Way too big shipment of fail for a first episode, KyoAni.

The only thing this ep had was comedy and it wasn't funny at all.

Haven't been this bored watching an anime episode in a long time.

ED was good though.

Not your cup of tea. That's all
And imo the comedy was not there to make you laugh, but rather to make us smile
Stop judging the plot only from the first episode
And I generally dislike how people use the term "moe" for shows that has cute girls doing cute things in it, which in fact it has more things to offer in addition of moe

Sure it's easy to brush aside any diverging opinions just like that, but I actually do dig KyoAni shows. And it makes me all the more confused as to how they managed to produce such a stinker for a change.

eh? I've never watched something soooo--- weird (I think weird doesn't even cut it anymore) in my entire life. Shows from kyoani have terrible naming sense but this one takes the cake.

Not really. I never said I hated it. It was just really boring and I repeatedly checked to see how many minutes were left. There wasn't anything particularly bad in the episode.

Well, I love KyoAni but I don't really know what to say of this series. I can't see the potential of this. Is it just going to be average comedy all series? I hope not. I know that there are a lot of plot twists hinted in this episode but... the setting is too cliche, just can't bring up to take it seriously. I'll wait and see. I wonder what is KyoAni up to.

LOL @OnoD's role!

BTW that ending! Amazing like Inside Identity!

Hahaha. Dera is such a fabulous bird!

As expected of KyoAni, this is a fun series to watch! Hahaha.

I still can't believe Daisuke Ono is voicing the florist!

Since Tamako's mother passed away... looks like we will get a tearjerker episode about her.

Can't wait for more!

Also just finished watching the first episode. I might drop this show just because of the bird.

I'll give it 1 more try with episode 2 and if I don't get something going on i'm gonna drop it.

I feel like I'm the only one that's actually interested in the song Tamako is trying to find, lol..
I couldn't get into it really much, but I will keep on watching at least a few more episodes.
The only thing I laughed at was the fight about Mochimazui to Mochiumai. xD
Loving the ED. <3

people that think this was the epitome of weird clearly haven't really seen many weird things in their life lol
it was okay maybe a bit too fast paced i was sort of hoping the show would be about the three girls shown in the cover but ill watch it all the way through because you just cant go wrong with kyoanis art style, and the girl is ditzy and cute

How can people find that bird annoying?
That bird is comedy gold.
The only reason for hate that I can think so is that it is acting metrosexual, but that will be a sad reason to hate him.


It just felt completely out of place and forced to me. This looked to be a cookie cutter, KyoAni, girls doing cute things affair, but the bird was just like wtf. To be honest I'm not a massive fan of Japanese humor usually, especially when it's forced slapstick like this. I didn't have massive expectations for this show but so far the bird has made this annoying more than enjoyable for me, the rest was OK but nothing special.

I have a mixed feeling toward the bird in this ep, sometimes i find him funny sometimes he's just annoying. The whole episode have a distinct atmosphere that keep me interested. Art and animation as expected of KyoAni is a pleasure to the eye, though comedy and characters have yet to impress me.

Overall, i enjoyed this episode to an extent enough to keep sticking with this show for longer.

Incidentally, I would've preferred a bird that couldn't talk but instead had an internal monologue (with the same voice of course). Its interactions with the rest of the cast would've been less annoying.

Was awkwardly enjoyable. Not sure how long it'll last for me though.

Liking the ending song. She looks so similar to Chitanda (Hyouka) in the ending.

First FukuJun is voicing a trap in Ixion Saga, now it's Ono D's turn to voice one? What the heck? But I like it. lol

Anyway, cute episode. The Bird is funny, Anko is one cute imouto, and Tamako resembles a certain president of a classics club.

Tamako is pretty when her hair is down... Nice light hearted slice of life anime with a talking brid from KyoAni to add to my watchlist.

I didn't know a bird can get a nosebleed. lol

Two consecutive hit shows for KyoAni but this... this I don't know I am having mixed reactions. Quite put off on the association of a different specie intermingling with humans. I'm just... just having issue with that I'm hoping it changes somehow or someway but I can't put my hopes up. Main MC looks too much like Chitanda especially in the ED sequence.

So far typical Kyoani style which is nice just hoping the won't make the same mistake as Chuunibyou with the ending what i want is a proper ending not a second season!!
The main character seems like a nice hard working girls who is also a little clumsy again nothing out of the ordinary for Kyoani i do think she is a bit to care free tho.
As far as this episode went it was pretty nice to watch and some of the characters where pretty funny the best way to describe this episode is cute.

Didn't find the episode too impressive really. I found the bird to be annoying but he did have a few funny moments, plus the ending was interesting. First impression of Tamako is very bland and forgettable (I figured that some of this is attributed to the same art style/character designs used in K-ON and Hyouka, which I'm getting tired of). I enjoyed the mochi-makng scenes the most, I hope they add more of that later. And the trap character.

I didn't think the OP was anything special but the ED had a catchy tune.

I hate Bird.

No, really, I detest him.

I don't like it when series add supernatural elements that don't fit.

Tamako Market did just that in its first episode.

What the heck.
