Really cute animation and story; I have hopes for this anime.
The characters are quite lovable; even the MC's tsundere-ness

the OP and ED are quite catchy imo, and the episode didn't feel like a drag to me, minutes passed quickly.

Can't wait for the next ep.!

unexpected surprised for me loved it and the animation was really well done

Naru is right on the fence of being straight up annoying and to damn adorable so i can't hate the kid

not sure the last time i had gotten Usagi Drop vibes from a show it's great~

Really enjoyable show, just one of those shows you watch that warms your chest and puts a smile on.

Lol'd at the ending when the guy was trying to bring some leftovers and saw him laughing like a madman.

I shouldn't have watched this at 1 am. Was so tired that I didn't even enjoy it the way I could have if I wasn't half asleep. But even in my half conscious self could realize that this anime is promising. Will watch episode 1 again before the next episode airs.

So, this guy just punches an old man with a cane and throws a small child off a pier.

I still haven't decided whether he's a badass with absolutely 0 fucks to give, or just some kind of sociopath.

I'd better keep watching so I can find out.

This first episode has got me hooked. Excellent animation, characters that have gotten me to like them within the first episode, (even the little girl, who originally rubbed me the wrong way, yet I somehow came to like being there in such a short time) which is a really weird thing to see in any form of media in general. Will definitely keep watching this.

I have a feeling this is going to be a favorite of mine. It has a nice 'feel good' mood to it and the characters are very charming. I'm a sucker for those.

Definitely better than I expected. I'm glad the main source of angst was dealt with already and we can now move into more character-driven comedy. Hina also won me over. That was cute. Hope it just gets better from here.

Also, the animation and the ED were really nice. I'd probably get by the show with that alone. So yeah, really looking forward to this one.

Dear anime (or manga, LN, etc.), this is how you should make loli..! Not some moefied pseudo-horny teenager girl disguised as 9-year-old..
Quite ironic since this is made by the same studio who did the worst loli anime last season.

Not even surprised here, I know that this show is gonna be good even before this season started.
She is not a loli, she is a genuine kid, and i'm not speaking for just the seiyuu. Loli has such a stigma around it now that it's an insult to the character.


Well, I thought loli generally refers to any character with the appearance of young (child-like) girl or actual young girl. While I agree that the stigma of the term loli is so bad it's cancerous, you have to admit that most people still consider such character, despite its genuineness, as loli.
Personally, I consider this kind of genuine kid character as 'good loli' (the bad one would be anything from Black Bullet)

I've been hearing nothing but good things about the manga so I've been looking forward to this :)

The first episode was very cute and heartwarming, it'll be tough for me to wait for a new episode without checking out the manga.
It was fun to see how the little girl was better at apologizing than the grown up MC.
Also, the scene at the end makes me wonder if we should worried about our MC, the poor old man looked terrified x)

I have to say that the the opening and ending were both very beautiful.

That was a really nice start to the series. I watched this on a whim from a comment I'd read and didn't expect to like it so much.

Thought it was funny how the guy kept showing up in his house after he'd been kicked out along with the little girl, and also the girl bursting into tears repeatedly at the end. Had a really nice feel when everyone was coming to help him move in.

Also yeah the OP and ED were pretty good. I feel like they'll grow on me a lot!

So what is so great about this anime ?! It feels average at most

At least it is better than the 1st episode of Bokura wa Minna from last season. I might give it another chance and watch episode 2 before I decide to drop it.

Opening was great, really like him acting chaotic. And the animation is gorgeous ~

The interactions between Handa and everyone was else was very amusing, but also insightful to who he is. I like the playful dynamic between Handa and Naru; no sexual tension :"D

And I find Handa appealing to me in particular because I'm interested in calligraphy too, even though my calligraphy is very textbook like. I can understand his frustrations ;-;

Woah, that was really great. It's like a second Usagi Drop, though, totally different :D

I reaaaally love those father/daughter cute relationship or everything that look alike. It have such a sweet and warming feeling.

I also really love those tsundere guy character. He remind me a lot of Chiaki from Nodame Cantabile, which is one of my favorite character :3

Naru is really hilarious, sneaking everywhere. In fact, all the villagers look hilarious.
