Yup. I love that it's keeping the charm of the manga fairly well so far. Good stuff! Nice and heartwarming.

NAME!
Please. :D

Daikichi: "You don't need a skirt? All you got are pants."
Rin: "Skirts aren't allowed at nursery school."
Daikichi: "Ah, I see... Nursery School!?"
Ahaha, I love that. ^_^

And I had to laugh at the "I'm Very Very Happy" shirt in that chaotic store.
This show is so cute it's criminal. I'm watching the whole thing smiling. Favorite show of the season with Ikoku Meiro closely behind.

Excellent. And also, time passed very fast.
Prodution IG is realy put much effort and care in the anime. Audio visual is fantastic, and i need said, the script surprise me. In the manga, Daikichi did the promise that he don't get late, but he brake it. But, in there, he don't apologize, at least don't the way he did he. Its great sensitivity of the screenwriter.

I already can imagine the and of this.
Anime should be at end of volume 4, and, probably show some of the final chapter of volume 5.

The drama is "Mother".
Serious dude, you can't even imagine imagine how spectacular this dorama is. Got to D-Addcits and get it. Are 11 episodes long, and starring by the same Aishima Mana of the live of Bunny Drop.
Worth the effort to translate it into portuguese.

Watching this anime makes me feel really warm inside. I can already tell it's most likely the best anime of the season.

Also, having watched this, I will also wait for the movie adaption of the manga that will be released in august. Too bad I have to wait for the DVD to be released and THEN for the fansubs...

also, the scene at the end was so funny and cute and sweet at the same time, I almost got a sugar rush right there.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

Her expressions are so simply drawn...and still it's so much more cute than most moe-stuffed anime-girls...
Really, really cute episode, loved most of her expressions, like when she's on the bed when Daikichi's phoning or when she's embarrassed etc.
And I really liked the slow-paced-ness, perfect anime to relax :3

looking at this you would think most people would just pick up and run way. and some do. but there are others who have an even harder time with their kids and still they manage. there is a lot more to this show that just some random dude who adopts some random kid on a whim. that's why this show is probably a lot better than it is.

The script is really good. Addressing a problem one at time without fuss surrounding them.
Interesting how a simple scene as the mother of Daikichi deliver belongings of Rin and your medical record function as well in animation. In the manga, the chapter opens with this scene but the anime leave this scene for the end. This direct expectations for the next episode, instead of leaving us with expectations about it while watching this episode.

The interactions of the two were also excellent, it was quite natural.
And this is the lack of naturally i see in the film's trailers, the animated Rin is a better Rin than the one of manga up to this point.
Indeed, the child seyuu made a difference.
Also in the script, good to see that have already begun to enter the atmosphere of the home life of Haruko.

Talking about the animation, it's not only technically good, I think it is photography that makes a difference.
Care as the movements of the characters are animated, the camera catches the whole movement and is careful to show certain facial expressions. Where do you see that this is a mature series is when Daikichi to get on the train, we see his foot stepping on the bandwagon and balance it. Also the reality of scenes like the Rin asleep standing in the street.

Sensational.

Only thing "bad" about Usagi Drop is some choices of autor in the middle.
Fortunately, it took, maybe, just the volume 5. After that, the series back to top.

IDK FFFFFF when i watched the episode & saw how difficult it is for daikichi to constantly juggle between rin & work, i couldn't stop worrying over his physical condition. :I /worrywart, derp.

BUT IT'S STILL AS CUTE AS EVER. rin has the best :I face fffffff.

Rin is so adorable whenever she makes those faces, reminds me kind of the Peanuts comic. The scene when Daikichi made his pinky promise was so touching and when he broke his promise he ate all those paper needles or w/e they are lol. So far i'm enjoying the anime as I am with the Manga.

Why does Usagi Drop remind me of Pursuit of Happyness except Daikichi isn't Will Smith and he's not homeless? Lol

This show is thoroughly enjoyable. It's cute, funny, heart warming, and just perfect. I love the watercolor art, it's a great touch. The OST is very good from what I can tell so far.

Nope, nothing bad to say about this show at the moment.

Daikichi and Rin's relationship is soooo adorable! The piggy-back, pinky swear, eating the origami for breaking the promise & working like crazy but not even a single *tsk* whilst with Rin. Daikichi is surely someone who captures the heart.
And the OST is so perfect!
Don't know why, but I feel like some parents might come to adopt Rin at the end

Lita-Taka said:

Feel the same way. My guess would be Rin getting adopted by a homely family and Daikichi giving her away as it is for her best. Ah, I don't want to see him cry.

Wow, this has the same fuzzy cozy feeling of happiness from kimi ni todoke but is fueled by a different kind of love; parental love.

Also VERY GOOD JOB for Daikichi when he stopped smoking for Rin.

It's so cute!!!

This reminds me of when I was growing up and both my parents were working. I was in daycare from 6 in the morning , to 6:30 at night every day of the week. The first to arrive, and last to leave. I remember how close I became to the counselors because of that. This anime is pure sweetness.

This anime is good. I go into more detail here on my blog, but I have to say, this story was well-written, despite its simplicity. The bit where Daikichi takes a smoke and watches the trail of smoke drift toward Rin's stuff--that little sequence conveyed a lot, and all without saying a word.

I really like how Usagi Drop handles character expressions. The art style in general just lends itself well to the tone and atmosphere of the series.
I also like that both Daikichi and Rin are very easy to like, and easy to relate to. I can just imagine how a Hollywood movie of this kind of story would have a sarcastic, helpless adult and an ornery, obnoxious child for the two roles. (AKA pretty much the opposite of what we have here.)

I can already see Rin is going to be a very smart and tricky girl when she grows up and I am pretty damn sure that she is going to make Daikishi falls for her.

Yeah, she is a total woobie. Anyone who watches the show and DOESN'T want to go out of his way to make her feel better (and hug her til she pops in between) is easily the worst person alife.
