This is a nice anime if you're not looking for a lot of depth of story or character. The characters themselves are nothing special, it's the character interactions that really make the difference, as they are heartwarming and honest. The real star of the show bar none is Dera. He's the source of pretty much all that's funny and he adds a "magical" flair to the show. The story itself is "there" but not really. What I mean by this is that, while the reason of Dera's presence (and later on Choi) influences the overall theme, it doesn't really have a presence in the episodes themselves (it doesn't even really come into effect until the last two or three episodes). Rather, they are about Tamako and the residents of her little market and how they interact- and Dera. There is no real resolution and most everything, other than just one thing really, is left open-ended, as is to be expected with this kind of show. I would recommend this anime to anyone that has some free time and is looking for something cute, funny and heartwarming to watch.
