| Another great realistic episode. I can personally relate to Haruko since it happened many times in our family during my childhood years. But so much for that memories, everything is very fine in our family now. =) Daikichi's reaction in the supermarket seeing Kouki's mom was priceless. XD Reina isn't as bratty as the previous episodes and she's more likeable now. Only 4 eps left. :( |
| The scenes with Daikichi and Kouki are hillarious. Nice episode, both sad and funny. |
| Normally I hate children, but every episode makes me wanna be a parent, but only if its Rin |

| Poor Haruko. It's bad enough to be living with your quarrelsome parents-in-law, she also has a negligent husband who doesn't care much about her? She's strong for her child alright. |

| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

| This ep had some Especially funny and/or cute scenes in it. UD never fails to please. ^_^ I like Haruko. She was kinda iffy at first (just for being the mother of Reina, who was a pain-in-the-ass brat until now), but now I respect her. She's strong because she knows divorce is a major thing and that she has the choice of sticking with it. Most people claim they have strength, even after giving up, but she's going to endure, even if just for Reina, and that's a major change from her childish days of constantly crying. After seeing Masako, this is a nice change in motherhood. |
| Nice episode. I hate Kouki though he's so annoying. But he has a good dialogue with Daikichi I'll give him that. Marriage must be tough. Even tougher when you're living on your own raising a kid. |

BloodReign71 said: You genetically alter your kid but I think what makes a kid like Rin is the ways of nurture and nature. Those should up to a formula from the individual itself and that means thinking about how to raise a kid in the most positive ways possible. Unfortunately Daikichi's father now cannot give that way to other people watching this show but books IRL may prove to be good. Normally I hate children, but every episode makes me wanna be a parent, but only if its Rin Anyway, ROFL raising a kid is hard and raising one to be like another kid is harder more so without science. |
a5mod said: Only 4 episodes left T_T This |
| wow this episode was heavy. it touched on everything from marriage, divorce, separation, children....you would hardly thing this is a kid show. that is why i like it. |
| I liked Reina from the beginning: yes, she was a brat, but the people here acted as if she was some kind of demon changeling, jeez. She's just a kid. She was super cute this episode anyway<3 I felt sorry for her, having to lists to her parents argue all the time-I can relate. Felt bad for Haruko too. ;_; When she said only Reina wasn't her enemy...bawww. Hit me pretty hard. Daikichi, Rin, Kouki and his mom really look like a family together :') |
| The mother who suddenly came to Daikichi sometimes sounds like Mizuki Nana... |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This is the kind of stuff I want to see. |
| Poor Haruko, that is one shitty life she got and no escape either. |
| I really want a girlfriend for Daikichi, should be interesting |
 |
| Oh god, how Rin and Reina made fun of them (even though they didn't know) at breakfast made me laugh like I didn't for a while. |
| Haruko is only staying married since it seems to be tougher to raise a child alone. That's sad, but reality can be a bitch. But damn, she's strong (I mean physically, but I guess mentally too). |
 |
| Oh god, this show makes me feel so warm, jittery, fluffy, sad and stuff, it's soooo good ;_; |
 |
| I do hope this gets a second season. With the time skip taking start with that season. If not then that's fine. |

| It would be nice that rin, daikichi, kouki and his mother became a family ~ *0* just saying... xD nice episode *0* rin and reina are soo cute :3 they make me want a daughter <3 I want the next episode noww >.< |
 |
| if there is a time skip yeah I'd like to see it next season this is just pretty much parenthood the anime almost. it's so realistic. for some reason I thought Haruko was his sister for a while. cousin I guess. seems she needs a divorce but won't do it..... won't get better. the end seemed pretty real too with Daikichi and Kouki standing around looking bored while the girls looked at clothes. |
 |
| Kouki is such a cool kid. So rare to see children in anime not being annoying. |

I think this is really a josei anime (targeted at adult women) rather than a younger demographic. Note the utter absence of fan service and the focus on real relationships. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| That morning breakfast conversation. |
 |
| Geez, can it get any better? |

| At the end, what Kouki was drinking... PANTA! |
| So easy to get married but so hard to keep it up.. |
 |
| I thought it would cheer me up after watching some...not so happy anime, but instead I got the story of a woman whose life went downhill and she will have a hard life. It was still good though, just not what I expected today. 4/5. |
| That was an amazing episode. |
| Nice as usual. |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
Hoppy said: Very cute episode, Reina is no longer annoying either. It seems like Rin brings out the best in everyone. Kouki is less of a brat when he's with Rin, too - or it at least seems that way. I really love watching all the character interactions in this series... All of the characters' relationships with each other are so wonderful. Rin and Kouki, Rin and Reina, Daikichi and Haruko, Daikichi and Kouki's mother, Daikichi and Kouki... and of course Daikichi and Rin. :) It's fun watching how they all get along in their own ways. In that ending part, that foursome - Daikichi, Rin, Kouki and his mother - definitely seemed like just one family. You can tell Kouki's mom probably wanted to have a girl as one of her children. :P |
| I've seen great comments in this boards while skimming though Usagi Drop episodes, but I've also seen a lot of one of the things I hate the most about humans. How easy and promptly it is for people to judge others. It's been a constant, mostly for Reina (a kid for god's sake) and Rin's mother. Passing judgement is easy, especially without knowing any circumstance behind people's bad choices or behaviors. This episode shows things are pretty harsh for Reina and Haruko. Sometimes people tend to forget there are 2 realities, the one you show to others and to society and yours, the private one. Society can be a bitch, sometimes I think it's the worst invention of men. Anyway, I'm really loving this series, it has so much heart and at the same so much truth it's amazing. I'm not sure what they are planning to do with Rin and Daikichi till the end, but I'm looking at a possible 10. A perfect score for a perfect series. |

| I used to always like Reina, I mean she's just a little girl and all of them act like that (exception being Rin xD). This episode just confirmed that's she's awesome too. Kouki too! :3 Didn't find the episode that interesting, but it was sweet. I feel bad for Haruko because she has a husband that's not as sacrificing as Daikichi.. :( I liked the outset of the episode though. It really looked at divorce in a realistic way. I'm happy that Haruko is sticking with her marriage. If she and her husband get through this, they'll become a lot closer. Unless someone is abusing you or is completely disrespecting you, I think divorce is unnecessary. Marriage is all about overcoming your differences and problems. When you do, you'll have such a close bond and love each other even more. That's what it means when people who have been married say they grow more in love every year. This is my opinion, and maybe it's too optimistic, but this is how I believe every marriage can be with effort. Fleiya said: So easy to get married but so hard to keep it up.. So true. :) |

| The kids owned the adults hard... LOL |
 |
| The final scene was lovely :) |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| Hmm im wondering what are the chances of Daikichi being together with Kouki's mum. Anyway this episode made me think about lots of things. Marriage, Divorce, Growing up. I guess it's still best being young. |
| i fell in love with this anime after this episode |
 |
| And that is why getting married sucks! D= |

| Haruko sure was cute :'D |
 |
| Just a sweet and nice story in this episode, I found the mall scene quite funny when he was stressed to see Yukari :p Great episode the outro was also quite interesting! |
 |
| Reina and Rin living together was a very cute combo. Also it was nice to learn a bit about Haruka. Great episode once again. |
 |
| Didn't expect an episode dealing with Haruko, but it was pretty nice. Even though Reina could never ever reach Rin's cuteness, they were cute together. Kouki is also funny, especially his comments and comebacks directed at Daikichi :) I'm glad though that Haruko's problem got solved. I just somehow didn't really want them to stay there. I'm happy with just the two of them (Rin and Daikichi). |
