It’s settled – Kanna is the perfect girl. Just most of the time, and hilariously so! Only…well, they’re not all always useless, Dera included. He clearly has the personality of an adult, so it only makes sense for him to be as useless as the rest of them. Plus, they weren’t nearly as over-the-top as the adults in my other example, so it fit into the atmosphere well. From them trying to protect Tamako to their silly proof of the curse, I was laughing at their antics all episode. This reminds me of Glee, where the kids are the serious characters, while most of the adults are over-the-top ridiculous (see: Sue, who is amazing). Counter to how one would expect such things, all the reasonable characters are high schoolers, while all the adults are silly or downright goofballs. Onto the episode!Ī thought occurred to me during this episode – all the adults are useless. In the hands of a good group of storytellers, we get exactly as much story as we need to make it a good one, and no more.

That’s why I love covering original series like Tamako Market – there’s no shoveling too much material in, no cutting important bits out due to time. 「俺の背筋も凍ったぜ」 ( Ore no Sesuji mo Koutta ze)Ī story is at its best when it takes up exactly as much time as it needs.
