I mean, seriously, how could you not smile when you see this face:
The blood was a little disturbing, must be the way it is seeping out. I don't know but that's how I reacted. Perhaps myself I did not like that when I was a kid. Eventually I got used to it but from this episode guess the fear did not really leave me.

Dripping blood may be an exaggeration, yes, but from my perspective the point is that Rin's innocent and cheerful approach to everything makes the adults around her think twice about their own happiness. Her positive attitude toward her surroundings is what makes her different from other children we've seen in the series.

10/11 episodes finished with me in a soft grin and always left a me with a sensation that can only lead me to describe the series as soberingly-sweet.

I actually think the way it ended was near-perfect. I have not read the manga and as it is, it's one of the rare times that the show is so good I DON'T want there to be a season 2. The most I would ever have asked for was maybe 2 more episodes(but seeing the last episode, maybe this was the perfect place to stop). I feel like a lot of the magic would be lost if an entire 2nd season were added and I'm not sure I would want to watch it; nor do I think this would have survived as a 26 episode run.

This series is Masterpiece as it is. 10/10.

This was a little gem this season. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, after hearing horrible stories about the manga, I skipped to the very last chapter and that chapter alone pretty much told me which direction the manga had taken. That said, the anime adaption has been great. Very heart warming, relaxing, and the characters always brings a smile to my face. 9/10.

So do I read the manga now? Because knowing how noitaminA never does sequels to non-J.C. staff anime, we can give up on a season 2. But reading negative remarks on how the manga ended, I dare not! I might as well remain content with the anime only.

Although nothing happened in the final episode, I wasn't expecting anything to happen in the first place. Usagi Drop, as an anime, is just a reminder of how parents actually sacrifice their time for bringing up kids. The reason I rated Clannad a 10/10 was because of a single line from Akio. Because I know how parents are and because I know how my parents are, and because I know the type of parent I will be.

a 9/10 from me. Best show to start this summer season only second to probably Natsume San.

No really, this anime is just unbelievably great. I've never been so wrapped up in emotions over something that's seem so... simple. Yet one just become vulnerable to the small antics that the characters do, or face. The deliverance of this anime is just subtle yet it hits you like a train!!!

The last episode pretty much shows Daikichi's transformation into a full fledged parent, of which other parents support him for. And Rin, you're one hell of a girl!! Keep it up! Yukari and Kouki, make sure to take care of Daikichi and Rin; vice versa!!!

5/5 ep
10/10 and by that I mean the perfect score; just perfect.

If judging from the timeframe that anime was made around, its great, ill give it solid 8-9. Although ive been already tainted by knowing the manga, and therein lays the darkness of the series. Even if I wanted to give it a 10 i cant. So, anyone, if you see anyone wanting to carry on with the plot in the manga, slam their fingers hard. Really.

Given what happened in the manga, this is probably the best way they could've ended it while remaining faithful to the source material. The adaptation was outstanding and it managed to elevate material that was great to begin with (I'm referring to the first half of the manga). Thursdays won't be the same without Usagi Drop and its charming and impressive characters.

It's very refreshing, to see a different kind of slice of life other than mid/high school
As well as the drawing style, although it looks a bit to simply

This anime was so awesome. It was really heartwarming and cute.
I give it a 10/10.

It'd be so awesome if it got licensed, I don't really care for a dub.
I also want a season 2. I haven't read the manga but I know about the ending, it doesn't really bother me so I'm ok with it.

Not quite sure you're referring to, since this ends just like the first half of the manga but with some extra reminiscing at the end. If anything, it would be equally shitty. Unless you're comparing it with the very absolute end of the manga, which is just silly.

"That smile will be my happiness from now on"

I believe this is the first time that Daikichi stated that he now sees taking care of Rin as permanent and no longer just a temporary thing. That's one reason why I loved the ending. Very subtle statement, but also very meaningful.

Loved the "Don't you think this world is better than you expected" line that appeared twice in the ED. This anime certainly lived up and perhaps even exceeded my high expectations. 9/10

A lot of people are up in arms about the manga ending. Personally, I'm ok with the outcome, but I think the journey to the ending is pretty weak, with all kinds stupid decisions being made all around. It just feels contrived and forced in a specific direction. Except for one point that I will rant about in the spoiler:



A 2nd season I would watch, but I really don't think the anime should follow the manga. I don't think the ending is dark, bad, or evil or anything silly like that. Usagi Drop isn't just about a cute little girl; it's also an exploration of the boundaries of what defines a family. Rin's personal definition has always been broad, and the manga continued to stretch that definition to certain extremities. However, the anime shouldn't follow continue to follow the manga simply because the quality of story telling drops in the second arc. Seriously, it's pretty confusing to follow (I heard you liked time skips so I put TIME SKIPS IN YOUR TIME SKIPS) and everybody makes stupid decisions constantly, and it's actually a little frustrating.

Heck, the world's full of people just like us.

Simple enough but surprisingly profound when you look at things differently or from a bigger perspective. :-D

Ah it's finally over, I did not expect that I would be at peace with the ending of this show but Daikichi's last words were comforting and a very good assurance for me. I'm gonna miss seeing this anime every week. This series is 9/10 for me as well.

Shocking how good something so seemingly simple can be... I only picked up this show cause I saw a picture from the first episode and kinda liked the style of it - has ended up being my favorite show of this season (a shared 1st with Natsume Yuujinchou-san =D)...
Rin is just the cutest thing, Daikichi 100% believable and likable - and kouki...don't even get me started <3
Hell, I've already started reading the manga just to see what happens next - gief another season pretty please!

9/10 - and crazy close to the big 10/10

Absolutely loved this show from the first episode to the last, Rin has got to be one of the most adorable character's I've ever seen in an anime, and Daikichi is a character that you just love to pull for. Definitely one the most heart warming anime you'll ever see.

One of the better anime this year for sure. 9/10

RIN'S FACES.
THOSE FACES OMIGOSH MOAR!

I don't care what happens in the manga. However terrible it may be, this story deserves to be animated till the very end, I'm certain. If it wasn't based of anything, like, an original anime, it would be alright, but feels wrong just to leave it hanging when you know there's much more. Season 2, immediately!

A nice end.
There would have been chaos had they thrown in the second half of the manga into this [season].
It would have taken away all that innocent atmosphere.
So a second season would be nice [not that I actually read the whole second half...I did like the end.].

And then people can choose to avoid it at will or be curious about how it would continue when Rin has gotten older.
