Man, that was beautiful, I had a lot of fun watching this series :) It had everything, comedy, emotions, light-hearted parts etc.
I'm sad though, that it probably won't have a 2nd season with all of them scattered and Sawa abroad.

I really liked all the characters, they are not just the usual stereotypes, even the supporting ones, not the vice-principal and the chairman though (at least the v-p got her redeeming scenes, so I'm not mad at her anymore). Favorite has to be Konatsu, who I will also put between my favorites. She is cute, beautiful and kind as hell :D
Second is probably a tie between Sawa and Wakana, they are both great and pretty.
The story was great, the songs (pretty much all of them, especially Kokoro no Senritsu, Shiokaze no Hamonii and Goin' my way (why did it have to be so short?). The last song was also pretty good as well as the opening (too bad it wasn't them singing it).
The art...do I even have to say anything? It's P.A. Works, simply eyegasmic.

Unfortunately it also had its fare share of problems so I can only give it an 8/10.
I started watching because I loved Hanasaku Iroha (I know it doesn't have that much in common though), and I wasn't disappointed.

It was a great show to follow
Not very original, but what they presented was excellent
The camera work which was added in the last few episodes were done very nice especially the one at the concert

I hope P.A. Works would continue with their good jobs

I like Wien and Sakai's story.
But Sawa story is weak and boring.
Some of the drama are pretty average.
Didn't realize that the 'romance part' in Sawa's arc is a hint on a romance.
Taichi didn't manage to get the girl but a little bit of romance is still sweet :)

I like all characters :)
Wien being my favourite.

All of these feels!

It was nice to watch the characters grow and mature through both their light-hearted and difficult times together. Their struggles were rewarded well with a delightful and touching ending, which I was very pleased with because I can't get enough of their smiles!

The music, of course, is great (their singing voices!), the artwork is beautiful, there is humor, drama... a wonderful slice of life.

I think TariTari was fine.. Nothing less or more than that.
Sometimes I was kinda bored (please don't throw things at me T-T) but the story was nice and I really loved the way everything was drawn. The songs were the reason I kept watching, but somehow I still wanted to know what they would do in the end (in my opinion there was no 'real' story besides the story about the main character's mother).
The suprising good side of this anime was in the end, lmao. The relationship between Sawa and Tanaka. I wonder what Tanaka said to Sawa in the airport.

Anyway it was a good/fine show. 6/10

For the most part I generally agree with a number of already posted opinions, but my two cents:

I was surprised at how much conveniently placed drama there was throughout this whole show, even more surprising was 80% of the problems didn't involve music, or anything closely related to it but these problems formed almost 75% of the 13 episodes....yet music is supposed to be the central theme

More over, the very few episodes that related to the central plot I found incredibly boring....not only this but the extra 1-2min scenes in some of the episodes I felt like were there just to say that the episode involved "music" or something thereby related to it...a very poorly executed series, and to deviate from the ever more popular K-ON! (I didn't find it very good either...), they added a very late and very much random "romance" at the end....6/10

Oh god even though the ending was happy, I was crying whole way through ;w; especially when they sang at the school festival.

AND WAS TAICHI CONFESSING TO SAWA? Ah, I really wanted to see more romance in this show, but it's still nice. Ahhh when he wiped his tears when she already left.

So much emotion in this final episode I love it~

Tari Tari was a great series. I was a bit disappointed we didn't get to hear what Taichi said to Sawa at the airport though. =( Did I miss something with that final scene of Wakana coming home? Maybe it was a reference to the first episode or something? It just seemed like it didn't really have a purpose. Overall, it's got to be a 9/10 for me.


Well seing as how Taichi blushed when he told Sawa something, I'll assume it was a love confession. Sawa probably told Taichi that she'd love to be his girlfriend, and Taichi might have said "I'll wait for you". That's just my possible scenario.


Well this was a great episode, and wow Nao looked happy directing the choir club. Well hopefully there's a season two. I'd love to see some romance, especially between Wien and Konatsu.

Great ending to the series. I'm pretty sure that Taichi confessed to Sawa at the ending. And it doesn't look like she rejected him either. So there's hope for the two in the future :)

Overall a solid 7/10 for the show. It was an enjoyable show with some feel good moments.

5/5

Excluding the predictability of some characters, especially the principal, I do not like it one bit! D:
Unfortunately, the ending is granted.
Nothing so serious, the anime did not aim at originality or to be a masterpiece, but a little sorry.
Too short to be able to thrill to the story, which has maintained the typical expectations of a slice of life. It was my fault I did not follow continuity with the various episodes, and I did not appreciate the series in a constructive manner. So for now my final grade is 7/10.
However, one thing is certain the work of PA Works was outstanding! * _ *
Another thing I hate in the finals and did not have a little more than narrative in the post. I want to know more about what happens to the characters! ^ ^ "

before talking about this episode we missed a very important piece...
WE DID NOT GET TO SEE THE WHITE RHINO





This episode is really satisfying.

dat script made me cringe, magical land and stuff idk it just did
Performance- beautiful
the song is really nice but is there a diffrence between Wakana's and her mom's and nao's song??? i have to listen to both later
ahhhh sweet ending is sweet

what was that about Taichi and Sawa, I'm surprised there was no violent reaction from her dad when he probably confessed. Doesn't look like rejection, maybe waiting?? They didn't even show his face at the take off!!!!
what, what, what were those bits of TaichiSawa hints only to let us down like that????

What country did Sawa go to????? and going abroad was a pretty obvious choice during her arc. Me during sawa's arc: why not go abroad? they're taller than you there most of the time

Taichi can just go to a tournament abroad and visit Sawa, if he's good enough
Ah, Konatsu cut her hair!
Wakana grew taller, what was that about the last scene? where did she go?
Out of the 5- only Vienna did not have a plan ahead. I guess he'll just inherit their business(?) or maybe a job about books, taking notes, or rangers

maybe a season 2 of how their lives were after or maybe just a 24 min special would do

Them singing in acapella is the BEST PART OF THE EPISODE, AND SERIES.

Graduation always make me feel sad.

Now, did Taichi just confessed to Sawa? It does make me feel that way. Either way it's fine. I stopped caring about my ships after a while. Wakana and her dad gave me the creeps, for some reason I always picture it as WakanaxDad. !>.>

One fault I find with the series is that the series based too heavily on the 5 kids, they placed too much importance in them. What I mean is, it's like everyone else spin around them, they're in the center of it all. For example, the chairman, he waited outside the school just for that 5 kids? Well well he sure is freeeeeeeeeee, huh? It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Characters are so self centered in the annoying way too (yes you can be self centered and not annoying). It feels like most of the characters here are teens, I mean yes they are age-wise, but the kind of immature teens I mean, even the adults. They don't give out the "they are grown ups" feel. And yes, you can be a grown up and have problems too. Oh well.. I rant on for too long.

I really liked how we didn't even need to see Taichi wipe his tears to feel that emotion.
Everyone's doing their own thing now... all grown up. Sniff.

My favorite was Konatsu and Wein. I also have her dolphin but mine is pink and, unfortunately, cannot swallow me.

I give this show a 6.6. But I'll round it off to a 6 because I just can't forgive some of these plot holes, no matter how cute the girls are.

It was good and enjoyable up until the end. Unfortunately it did lack something, as in a little more depth, and it had its boring parts, but overall it went at a nice and relaxing pace. I liked that there never was too much drama, it made me sympathize a lot more with the characters who never were drama queens, and for the first time I didn't dislike anyone from the main cast. Another thing that made this anime a little flawed was a lack of exploration of the two male members. You could tell since the opening that they would be there as supporting characters, but maybe they could have featured them a little more, as in seeing their point of view a little more often. But then again, none of them except maybe Wakana had really serious issues, and it was refreshing seeing the story develop in a natural way. The episode in which Wakana finally opens up is still my favourite, as it was nicely delivered and not overdone, and the emotions felt real. Overall a good and balanced series, I'm happy I decided to watch it.

Very glad I watched this anime. It's heartwarming and I always feel a little sad finishing such a great anime. For me there was not one boring moment. I'm going to miss it a lot. I can't remember the last time I cried watching an anime but this series made me cry many times. Definitely on the rewatch list.

Haven't watched a show this good in a while.
Only thing missing with the ending was perhaps something like them all meeting up when they got older and not just Wakana, some sort of resolution for the romance would be amazing too, there wasn't much focus on it but it was pretty obvious that it was there, guess I'll leave that up to my imagination.
Things don't always go the way we want them too and it's likely they didn't up together and the anime just didn't want to break our hearts, and maybe putting them together would mess with the message of the show but I'd prefer that.

The story and characters weren't particularly great but the series was good and fun to watch. I haven't seen many music focused anime with a main female and male cast. I enjoyed the dynamics between them.

The songs were nice but rather forgettable. Guess it's just wasn't my kind of music.

Personally would've preferred no romance, hints or otherwise. I also wish we got to see the gang together after some years. That would feel more conclusive and satisfying to me.

This was a sappy, whimsical, happy-go-lucky, and all in all a show that stuck to its guns to the very end. My biggest criticism of Tari Tari is its over reliance on bureaucratic obstructions to create drama, whether if it's the vice principal or the chair of the school. Whenever the club tried to get anything done, there always seemed to be some force of nature (or the plot) that tried to make things hard for them. It probably would have worked better had Tari Tari been a longer show, but since its plot setup lends to a shorter show, the amount of interference is really apparent.

Despite that, by the end of the show, there was a sense that the group was really tight. Often, we'd have a bunch of Skittles thrown in a bag - they're all different, and they're only sticking together because we're told that the bag contains them as a group. Here, I don't see that. This is shown in how the club reaches out into the student body and the neighborhood, making the show less about a self-contained group and more about a community sticking together.

Without a doubt, this is a clumsy show. I honestly lost track of the show's original goal, as it jumped from the formation of a choir club, to the individual dilemmas of the characters, to the school being closed down. Again, with a 13 episode show, there can only be so many plot threads before the plot starts feeling eclectic and desperate to create drama. Still, I say the show worked out. I would have preferred the ride to the end to be more focused, but the ending was fine as it is.

Tari Tari was a great anime. This is one of those anime that I'll remember for a long time. Even though it's sad to see it's ended, I'm satisfied with the ending. And I'm sure Taichi confessed to Sawa at that airport scene, because he is embarassed in the end.

Im sure Taichi confessed to Sawa and was rejected. She looked troubled when he confessed to her and i think she said "Arigatou gozaimasu" or however its spelt. i wish there was some kind of closure to that storyline. i imagine sawa might find someone while abroad. she could stay wherever shes at for several years, and for her to stay loyal for a guy she didnt have feelings for is just wishful thinking. after all this is the same studio that did true tears and look how the relationships went in that series.

I somewhat liked Sawa and Wakana. They were kinda cool. Konatsu and Wien were annoying-as-hell pieces of crap, and Tanaka was... well he was quite nonexistent. He was just a furniture.
Power Rangers were super-annoying. Kill it with fire.
I also didnt like the amount of happy-go-lucky bullshit. There was just way too much of it.

Could have been a decent show if it had some sort of plot and better characters. 5/10
