[Tamako Market] - 2
Happiness complaints? You are all just jaded! I guess some of these feelings directly correlate to our own watching habits, as Brazil has mentioned, KyoAni may be their own worst enemy in that regard. But for me personally, I still find there is enough of an inherent difference in these shows that Im not yet looking at them in pure base terms. I thought this may have been exacerbated by me watching, K-ON!, Hyouka, and Chu2 in quick succession, but no, seems Im still on-board.
But I agree with Jex, in so much that yes, nothing really much has happened yet, though that is typical KyoAni procedure. But then again, the ensemble has been bedded in during the duration of these first two episodes, so maybe it's a bit disingenuous to fully embrace that notion . It is always the sense of place and general atmosphere that I appreciate in their works, and in that regard, Tamako has firmly set its stall in familiar territory.
Less of the bird? Thought that might be the case, particularly as he seems to bear the brunt of the narrative crux, although I dont really expect that to become the onus until a little later into the series run anyway. But I like his presence anyway, and I like all the animation around his various posturing and gestures.
This is not to say that I have been enthralled so far, though I have enjoyed my brief time with it. So I can (in some respects) agree with various impressions that it can come across as clinical. The execution is almost flawless, but we have come to take that for granted. And so here we are, desperately trying to dig beneath that (admittedly) shiny exterior, seemingly beholden to deliver on its own set of unique standards. I am certainly satiated for the time being, but I'll be looking to get a bit more as we progress.
