I don't know if I
should regret not watching this earlier or not since there are things I liked
and disliked in this episode.
First let me go
through what I like in here. As I have said in my last post, I really like
Sawa's story. It's not that I can relate to her but I was really moved because
of her inability to pursue what she wants to do. It's funny how she blames her
height as one of the reasons why she can't enter the riding academy. But the
part that I like most in here is when Sawa heard her father fighting for her
with regards to the academy's requirements and how Sawa is more than qualified
when it comes to her interaction and experience with horse. I seriously almost
tear up in there.
Other than that,
another scene that I really liked in this episode was when they all sang for
Sawa :D Their individual songs were pretty good most especially Wakana's and
Wien's. It really shows off their character. And practically hearing Wien sing
reminded me of Ittoki
Otoya from UtaPri who was voiced by Terashima Takuma.
That new seiyu Hanae
Natsuki has now caught my attention. I'm definitely going to look forward
to future roles of this guy :3
Now I'd like to go
through the choir club's audition. I guess this has got to be one of the things
I dislike in this episode. I mean I never even saw them practice seriously and
their audition is almost on the spot. And of course, we're expecting them to
get a slot for the school festival. How is that even possible? It's because
they are the main character. Tsss… Moreover, they only seriously cared for Sawa
because they need her in the audition. Well okay, it was mostly Konatsu there
but I guess this is just me complaining and getting annoyed.
The other thing that
I disliked in this episode (or probably in TARI
TARI in general) is how Konatsu (and the other girls) is always pushing
away the guys - Taichi and Wien. In this episode, when they all decided to
practice at Wakana's place and find out that her room is too small to fit 5
people, Konatsu said that the guys would stay outside. I was like, WTF? Of
course this isn't the first time (and definitely won't be the last time) she
did this to the two of them. I don't even want to enumerate everything but as
of this episode, I'm just getting annoyed with it.
I know I decided to do this as a double episode with episode 9 but ended up not doing so. Anyway, as of this episode, TARI TARI had me confuse at whether liking it or not. It definitely isn't a show that captures me that much. The dramas were so-so and the comedy (or should I even consider it comedy?) wasn't so much funny at all. TARI TARI's focus on the female characters had me disappointed in the series and the girls way of interacting with the boys weren't really so fun at all...
