With the DVD releases not coming until September 9th, 2014 from Sentai Filmworks, fans can get an early look and listen to Tamako Market today as The Anime Network is putting the full season out there in bilingual form. They’ve previously had the streaming going for the series not long after its simulcast in its original Japanese language with English subtitles, but now fans can get their first listen at the English language adaptation ahead of the home video release.
You can see the episodes here.
Plot concept: Tamako knows just about everything there is to know about mochi, the traditional Japanese desert treats. When she’s not attending her first year of high school, she even invents new flavors and varieties for Tama-ya, her family’s mochi shop. School and growing up, on the other hand, are things that she’s still trying to find the right recipe for. But with the help of her best friends Kanna and Midori, Tamako’s determined to make the best of things. It’s complicated though, especially when it comes to emotions and her relationship with her best BOY friend Mochizo, whose family runs a rival mochi shop. And lately, Kanna’s been feeling a little odd about her feelings towards Tamako as well. And what’s with up with that strange bird fluttering around, the one that speaks fluent Japanese? It’s all very mysterious and overwhelming, but at least Tamako always has one thing she can count on: No matter if your day’s been good or bad, there’s certain to be something sugary and delicious waiting at the end of every adventure whenever you take a walk through TAMAKO MARKET!
