| Very nice. This season is shaping up to be a great one. Great story and characters. Rin is so cute! I only wish the background was drawn a little better. I'm not much for watercolors. 5/5 8/10 so far. |

| I feel warm and fuzzy inside. Cried a bit too. It's so sweet loving it already <3 |

| This is the one that I most anticipated watching and it has lived up to my expectations. Based on the comments above it looks like much of the Anohana fan base moved over. As for the mechanics of a 73 year old fathering a child (remembering that he had aged while she got older), former Canadian Prime MInister Trudeau fathered a love-child at about the same age. (and Anthony Quinn fathered a child in his 80's). Only teared up twice during this episode, but I'm sure there will be more opportunities in the next few weeks. |
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 |
| Wow, first episode and I'm instantly in love with this show. I might have to pick up the manga. |
| Anohana should have learned with this. This is how you make a good light drama without having to resort to overcrying and lame stuff. Great episode 8.5/10 best 1st episode of the season. |
| I'm gonna enjoy 2 good slice of life anime this season :9 |

SkyHigh said: I love the characters and how neither of them are made to be overly beautiful or cute. I actually feel that Rin is quite beautiful, something subtle about her design. Fantastic episode, definitely had more emotion than the beginning of the manga. My only complaint, is that i wish they had shown more Daikichi and Rin, and less Reina. either way, 5/5 |
| Pretty interesting setup. I'm curious to see how the show will handle the whole "raising a kid all of a sudden" plot. My full thoughts on the first episode are here on my blog. Overall I'm interested to watch more--the characters seem likable enough. |
| Wow, found new bitter-sweet anime to replace Ano Hana rather fast! Also: Poop bomb! |

| m-my heart..... ; A ; also, seconding the POOP BOMB!! |
 |
| A very heartwarming episode. So far the best spring anime to air. |
 |
| great first ep. |
 |
| Absolutely wonderful. Best anime this season, for sure. |
| Whoa, talk about Deja-Vu! I never thought i'd see the day where an anime took on almost the exact same qualities of my life. (Except for the fact that I'm not 30) Other than that, what an introduction! <- I think I overemphasized that somehow. Rather, what an intriguing beginning. This is a plot I can get behind! So, the story is good, but the visuals are even better! I got the whole ''Kimi ni Todoke'' / ''Bokura ga Ita'' feeling both visually and plot wise, so I'm expecting a bit of water works somewhere in this season! TT_TT All in all, I'm really looking forward to this anime, all the best this summer! Looking forward to the next! |
| Good first episode. |
 |
| Hah, I didn't realize this would come out so soon after reading about it. Goes to show how much I keep up with regularly airing series. I usually don't follow series as they are airing, but I have been enjoying the Usagi Drop manga too much to not jump along for the ride. This was wonderful and I am very excited for the rest. The OP and ED are so colorful and beautiful, and the animation is different, but lovely. I am really excited, and the pacing and softness of this was nice. I can definitely sense me tearing up in the near future - heck, I almost did just in the first episode. I like how Rin is voiced by an actual child. Definitely a good, realistic feeling there. Otherwise, I liked Reina's obnoxiousness. It made me smile. While she is obviously annoying to some people, she's clearly just an obnoxious little kid, and I liked her voice too. It also shows how just how different Reina and Rin are. Anyway, loved it, loved it, loved it. Definitely sticking to this. |
 |
| So sad, I almost cried TWICE. Also adorable, looking forward to seeing more. |
| Beautiful episode, It already put me to tears on the first episode. Daikichi is just your typical old average bachelors who has a big heart and Rin is just so adorable. The music pieces and scenery were so spot on and beautiful. |
| Child soo.. ADORABLE |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
| Pretty interesting first episode.. Didn't think I'd like it at first since I thought it was gonna be some silly childrens anime. Not bad though, I think I may like it. |
Ameko01 said: *sniff I am a 15 year old high school student must not cry on this series. Must not cry. Mustn't cry. Too late. The 1st episode has already brought me to the brink of crying. Nice anime we have here and I am really looking forward to it. 5/5 episodo desu ditto...lol |
| Prediction - this will be the best Summer 2011 anime ever! After watching the first episode, I love it! |
| Loved it, though I knew I would before I watched it. I had actually planned to read the manga a while back...but I never got around to it. I noticed this is only 11 episodes though so I might end up reading the manga anyways. |
| Poor Rin. First episode almost made me cry. Can't wait for the next one. |
| the watercolor background in the beginning really shockingly awesome ^-^ great healing Anime of the season =) |
| Yes, taking care of your aunt even though she's 20 years younger. Should prove interesting. And that grandpa's got some vitality, making a kid at around 70. |

ManInBlack said: Was anyone else wishing that little brat Reina was in the coffin with the grandpa? I did I sooooo did *angry*.. Anyway I liked the first episode a lot ,this one is going to be one of me faves in the season |
 |
| i didnt think id like this series but this was a great first ep. will definitely continue watching. |
 |
| looking forward to this series!! watching it really made my heart melted. |
 |
| Great start of Usagi Drop. It's good they're somehow following the manga. Man, I just can't get over these feelings.... |
 |
| I honestly cannot believe how good this first episode was. Though I doubt the rest of the episodes will be this good, since that would be too good to be true. This anime is enough reason for me to call this season a success. 5/5 |
 |
| God this episode was so cute and sad at the same time. Can't help but cry a little at the end, it was so sad. And OP/ED were both nice. |
| Interesting. Very depressing. I think I will cried watching this anime (I already had tears in my eyes): D |
| OHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD. I'm in love. I want a Rin-lolichan too! Give me one! Gawd this was so good. I can't wait to watch more of this. My favorite this season so far. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| In my heart i hope they manage to put 55 chapters in 12 episodes even if is pretty hard. Good first episode though. |
| OMG i never been so touched for a while ! |
 |
| Noitamina really needs to drop the 11/13 episode bullshit if they want these studios to make great shows. |
| Interesting anime. I like it. I love ther art and the opening is great. |
| Little Rin reminds me of Nino ( arakawa). I think this will be the best series of the year ! |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Awesome anime :D |
| So cute, Rin is awesome, and knowing her voice is done by a ten year-old sweet girl, wow, I mean, fantastic, 'cause almost all children characters voices are done by adult people. |
MALoween✟Mansion! 2021: main candy:      extra candy: 4x  |
| Excellent, I have a good feeling about this show. First episode but I already know it's going to be one of the best this season. |
Salacar said: also hoping that the number of episodes stated by MAL is wrong. Pray it's right, because after the time skip the focus of the manga is entirely different and the ending will throw all of that out |
| Episode 1 down and it already deserves a award.. |
