Why Optimism Matters | The Importance of Tamako Market

Enter the world of Usagiyama Shopping District! Tamako Market is an unassuming series with no significant conflict or plot structure. Yet, its optimistic spirit and inclusive, authentic community offer a crucial reminder we could all use right now. Here, we look at how Tamako embodies the ethos of Kyoto Animation and its staff and gives us a glimpse into a world we can strive for. Enjoy! Sponsored by HIDIVE.
