Tari Tari - Konatsu and Sawa have a lover's quarrel? Lovely!

by feal8724. July 2012 22:45

Hello,

Today we'll talk about the fourth episode of the summer season 2012 anime series named Tari Tari that continues with slow developments to improve our knowledge of the main characters personality and backstory.

This episode was mostly focused on some backstory building for Wakana thanks to the informations given by the musical band "Condor Queen's". It seems that they knew her mother since before Wakana was born.

Wakana's mother (Mahiru) was a musical genius that managed to create, at a very young age, the main hit song of their group and somehow I feel that's there is a lot more to know about her...

Tari Tari

This episode also explored a bit more in detail the relationship between Konatsu and Sawa showing us for the first time a "real" quarrel between the two girls.

Honestly, it was more like a lover's quarrel with a very prompt make-up scene, but somehow managed to give us a real outlook of what is the level of drama we can expect from this series.

Of course, I agree with Sawa because Konatsu's behaviour was childish and self-centered, but those personality traits are also part of Konatsu lovely charm! Don't you agree?

As you can see in this short video sequence, the producers of this anime series are definitely trying to kill us with extremely moè characters/situations.

How can we resist to Konatsu in this scene? She is extremely lovely even while sleeping, but seems to have a really untidy way of resting. What's up with that strange position?!

By the way, am I the only one thinking that Wakana is far cuter without that bad looking ponytail she usually have? I wonder if there is a possibility for her to switch permanently...

Tari Tari

Judging from the episode preview, next episode will make us know more about Sawa's personality and her love for horses. Her "hobby" is definitely something original in an anime series.

However, I'm not sure if it'll be an episode entirely focused around that, because it seems that Wakana is slowly, but surely closing in to become a proper member of the choir club.

What exactly contained that letter written by her mother? What are the words that managed to change Wakana's mind so much?

Tari Tari

Concluding, Tari Tari, while pursuing a slice of life approach, continues to be an extremely enjoyable series that I'll continue to watch and cover in the future as well.

See you soon,

cant tell whether the letter is supposed to convince her to return to music or the other way around

I suppose its safe to say that its "return to music", because otherwise what's the point of this whole series? Isn't all about making Wakana love music again together with her friends?

I'm leaning to think that Wakana is the main heroine, more than Konatsu. Do you agree?

Yeah, but what's this about getting rid of the piano? Trying to let go or is she really depressed for some reason?

I don't even know what's going on...I thought it was another final boss and everything

Getting rid? Is that how fansubs translated that final preview? I'm not sure she really meant to say "getting rid" in that scene...

I thought it was something more on the lines "I want to go forward, so I want to remove the things anchoring me back to the past". Isn't that a better way to interpret it?

The vice-principal as final boss you mean? I'm really expecting her to become an ally after Wakana's mother backstory is developed.

Well, I say "getting rid" loosely. That's basically what I meant by letting go. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to interpret it.

Yeah, that is likely the way to be honest. She want to have new experiences and leave a bit her memories aside in order to do so.
I hope she'll join in with the others soon. It's sad to see her alone in the ED animation...>_<

It'll be pretty boring if she's just dancing around everyone else the entire show...

Point taken, but...but...but... you have to understand my feelings. I'm quite looking forward to see her happy together with the others singing...

Don't take advantage of a girl when sleeping. I know it's tempting, but she must willingly make that wish


Covering her face with the plushie was pretty cute.

I would never take advantage of a girl like Konatsu, she inspire me protection feelings more than romantic ones. I just want to hug her STRONGLY!


yeah, that's LOVE! They're made to be together, don't you agree? *_*

I have that same feeling. I won't let you have them without a fight.

They need more scenes like this before I'll accept them, or I just want more scenes

Ahahah, same here. More love-love scene for Konatsu and Sawa! And maybe toss Wakana in the middle as well for extra goodness!

Wien did a nice tackle to that stalker, which isn't a stalker to begin with. Still, it was pretty hilarious.

OK i watched that one about the back story and it was interesting, and well done i thought, it is interesting how they are weaving this series with both past and present. I do like the music side of things, and loved the number they did at the end this week, but i did NOT like the mexicans or their "foreigner" flavor....i am not fond of the Mexican dark culture having grown up in the shadow of it in California, so that was not a hit with me i hope we dont have to see that again. I ddint like that scene of the guy chasing her on the bike, that was a bit over the edge even tho he was supposedly harmless...if he just wanted to talk to her why didnt he use a more polite approach?

she did look nice in the bikini tho
  nice to see a bit of fan service as the girls are a bit young in this series for my liking but overall it remains decent. The one kid who is obsessed with badminton is my least favorite as he seems quite selfish and self centered..but we will see how it goes. He and his mother are a bit different from most anime characters and i see them both as being the director and writers forcing some western stuff into the story, which i am not wild about


but that back story part was nice.

Oh, you're from the USA then! That's nice to know, as I expected you to be from some "English" country due to the good grasp of the language, but wasn't sure which of them.


Well, that chasing scene was all for the comedy entertaiment value as we all knew that he was completely harmless. And hey, we got to hear that cute "I don't...MONEY!" coming from Wakana!

Mhn...well, I don't think they're that young to be honest. They just "look" young (Konatsu mainly), because a good 95% of anime series are based on high school girls after all. Don't you agree?

Yes, even Freezing's (or any other busty anime series characters) girls are high school girls even if they don't look that way...


Let's see how they'll explain her mother's backstory!

yes i am from USA but i lived and went to university at Oxford in the UK for six years and have travelled and worked all over Europe, so i am more international than many americans....esp love your wonderful country. I am painting scenes from Laggo Maggioore and Como, so beautiful. Ys you are right, they arent really THAT young, just seems that way sometimes in the style they are made in, ...but japanese girls look quite young even into highschool and then they go thru a fast change in their twenties appearance wise.

good point about Freezing so high school can look older and younger too. Princess Lover is high school too, same older look as Freezing tho a lot of them act quite young.

ys the mother is an interesting element, we dont often get grownups in series, so it will be intirguing to see what they do.

Nice experience, I am more of a "stay home and relax" person, but I can wonder all the experiences you made in those years abroad!


Yeah, Japanese girls looks a lot younger than their western counterparts, but I suppose that's because of their genetical roots.
Freezing, Princess Lover and many other series are all with the same kind of older-looking drawings. That's to appeal the "common male" I suppose!


I'm curious about why she is revered by pretty much everyone in the series starting from the principal of the school.

Yeah, same thoughts here. A very relaxing series with cute characters!

Sawa is really so hot compared to Konatsu that look just a child. And they're both high schooler!

I'm getting good at guessing eh? As i thought, that man knows Sakai's mother..

It's just sad to see Sakai gives up on music after her mother dies, i'm guessing she has a great voice.. This episode feels so warm..

Yes, you definitely are!


Well, next week we'll likely see Sakai go back to music again. That's my hope at least, that girl really need to have a lively school life! *_*

Even though Tari Tari is a slice-of-life series, I feel that it's more characteristic of a drama series. With the build-up of tensions between the characters and the mystery surrounding Wakana's mother I think a lot of things are going to happen in the future.
