Despite missing it for only a week, I certainly missed the laid back ambiance that no other show this season offers me. I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’m a bit behind on Tamayura, but that’s only because I rely on subs to watch anime…as much as I love the Japanese language, I am nowhere near … Continue reading
Now let me start of by saying that Tamayura: Hitotose is most definitely not a show for everyone. If you enjoyed the slow-paced shows from Summer 2011, like Ikoku Meiro no Croisée or Usagi Drop, then this slice of life may be a good fit for you. The basic premise of the show is that our heroine, Fu Sawatari, returns to her deceased father’s hometown of Takehara, Hiroshima and enrolls into high school. The show looks like it’ll be focused on Fu coming to better know the town that her father loved, and maybe some self-discovery along the way. What I am grateful for is that this doesn’t seem to be the usual slice of life comedy that’s just overrun with jokes that aren’t really necessary…but that might just be my own issue, as I can’t stand shows anymore that are like that. Life really isn’t THAT humorous….but that’s beside the point.
The first episode basically lay down the foundations of what is to come as we learned a little bit about Fu’s life and how important her father was to her, as well as some introductions. Fu’s best friend, Chihiro, much to my surprise does not seem to be one of the main characters, but I have a feeling she will be a reoccurring face one all the main characters are introduced. While Chihiro is a sincerely good friend, evident by her trying to make Fu happy and distracting her from reminiscing about her father, her constant tears were starting to get on my nerves by the end of the episode. Four times. She burst into tears on four separate occasions this episode alone! So for seeing a little less of Chihiro, I’m glad that Fu moved away.
I feel sort of heartless…but meh. Tis how I feel.
All in all, I look forward to covering this show, and I hope that you’ll support me, dear reader. I have a feeling this will be a truly heart-warming show, and I’d really like someone to talk about it with.
(Wahoo, first anime blog post…must get better!)
Here's to a season of Chihiro's water works~
It's called Ta-no-shii
