Tari Tari Episodes 7 - 10
Rating: 5 of 5
Impressions:
Episodes 7 and 8 deal with Sawa and her problems. The show makes some rather daring storyline choices and does a wonderful job of telling her story. The ending of the arc is so wonderfully cheesy that it must be seen to be appreciated, so no spoilers here! For a full review of the story up to this point, and more specifics about Sawa's arc, still without too many spoilers, check out the full review on my blog (http://thezenof.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/tari-tari-episodes-7/)
Episode 9 and 10 feature Wien's turn to shine, or more appropriately, his turn to be totally bummed out and have his friends help him get a grip. Formulaic? yes. Is that a problem? Not at all! It's what we're expecting. Tari Tari isn't trying to fool anyone into thinking that some big twist is coming, it lets you see the knife coming at the character's guts several episodes ahead of time so you can writhe and squirm while you wait for it to dive home and make them suffer! Once again, for a full review and further commentary on the relative merits of Tari Tari as a whole, please read the full review on my blog.
