In her final year of middle school, Sawatari Fuu is a student who had previously locked away her feelings following the death of her father. She returns home one day to find her brother, Kou, had taken out all the old photos their father had taken. Fuu comes to understand the warmth of these photos and takes an interest in photography, asking to use her father's old camera. After taking a few photos, mainly with her friend Miyoshi Chihiro, she sends some to a famous photographer who responds with positive feedback and a train ticket with no destination. After deciding that she'd like to go to high school in Takehara, where she grew up before her father died, the whole family decides to move there. After saying her goodbyes to Chihiro, Fuu travels to Takehara where she meets with her childhood friend, Hanawa Kaoru.

A beautiful, heartwarming show. Progresses slowly ands starts off a bit "heavy" but ultimatly worth it.

If you are planning to watch this i recommend to see the 2/4 episode OVA first, as that is a prequel and goes almost the same way as this season.

Yes, it is slow paced. Yes, it's basically just four girls and scenes from their lives over the course of a year.
Yes there is no sinister plot going on behind the scenes, no evil to be vanquished, no great mistery, no action scenes...
And seriously: Why would it ever need that?
I do enjoy my action/comedy/mistery/etcetera series like everyone else. But rarely did I come upon a series that left me with such a nice, warm and above all satisfied feeling like this one. This is a series to not only pass the time wonderfully, but feel good at and after it. That brings you some well earned calm in our hectic times. And the only regret I ever had while watching was at the end of episode 12, realising it was the last episode for now and I would have to wait for months until I could see more of it.
By the way: I recommend watching episode 1 of hitotose first, then the ova, then the rest of the series (with episode 5.5, if available to you, between episodes 5 and 6).

Tamayura is a wonderfully lovely slice of life: it's heart-warming, filled with touching moments, and it has a very relaxing pace! Definitely a must see! :3

Another great work from Satou Junichi. The characters, the atmosphere, the scenery, the music are so much alike his previous work, Aria. Man if I'm a girl I could fall for this guy. I hope the next season will come soon.

Great title for slice-of-life fans (similar in atmosphere to Aria), with great music and interesting characters- it honestly might be a bit much for kids who only ever watch anime with half-nude girls and explosions though. Something to sit down with a cup of tea and relax to. There really aren't enough slice-of-life titles out there these days, so treasure the few that we get.

Extremely slow paced!! Way slower than the average slow paced anime! This one is very bland, uneventful and did i mention slow!?!? Peaceful and tranquil settings are awesome, but this one takes it to the extreme! It also it has no plot worth mentioning :(.. Slice of life/Daily life fans should give it a shot.. Other than that everyone else should take this one with a grain of salt..

Hair ribbons are often tied into bows. They may also be present as part of a hairband. In older anthropomorphic series, where the gender of characters was sometimes hard to tell at first glance, ribbon bows were used to indicate a female character., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., miniskirtA miniskirt, sometimes hyphenated as mini-skirt, is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, shorter than the wearer`s arm., ponytailA ponytail is a hairstyle in which most or all of the hair on the head is gathered and secured at the back of the head with a hair tie, clip or similar device, and allowed to hang freely from that point., skirtA skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped piece of clothing that hangs from the waist and covers the legs partially or fully. Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.

For series that revolve around a specific club, the club`s president frequently replaces the student council president in importance., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger.

Scarf ties are a common part of the sailor uniform frequently seen worn by Japanese schoolgirls. A scarf tie is not to be confused with a regular scarf; they should be treated separately.
