| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This thread is strictly for people who have finished seeing the anime and wish to continue the story through the manga --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you love the anime, and plan to read the manga later, DON'T. Majority of manga readers hated how the story turned out after the events in the anime, me included. In fact, it was so bad, I wish I could rewind time and forget about this atrocity (the manga). The ending goes against the very fiber, the very essence of the series. Just don't do it man. Consider this a public service announcement. It is for your own good. Episode 11 of the anime is where the story stops. Make up your own ending and be glad you did not read the manga! Here are some reactions of people that've finished reading the manga (NO SPOILERS) : SonicSam said: Having just watched the anime in a marathon, and continuing the manga where the anime ended... What. The. Fuck. Colonel_Mustard said: Read through the whole thing today after watching and loving the anime. Sadly, I find myself extremely disappointed. Ousto said: Instead of remembering this as "That amazing, charming, and touching manga", I'm going to remember it as "That manga that went to absolute shit after the first half". Sigh. Now excuse me as I try to forget the 2nd half of this story even exists. animaxx said: Seriously this 2nd part is all filler, right? this is all some demented fan fiction and NOT the true ending?? ... FOR FUCK SAKE, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I JUST WATCHED!! MY EYES BURN!!!! I hate this retarded author for fucking up such an amazing story, with soo much potential MiraiLink said: I'm terribly disappointed with the conclusion and the second half. kion said: got really hooked into reading this after the anime finished. well..what can i say that hasn't already been said? i read that it gets quite 'controversial' and damn, NOW I KNOW Cloudy-Sky said: I just pretend i never read the second part :| I'm really disappointed :/ SGI3 said: As much as I hate to be one of those people, this manga really trainwrecked. |

| i'm part of those who accepts the ending as it is, if there's any who does too. |
| I haven't read the manga I was about to go here and, ask for a comparison but, I don't think I need to with this thread. It sounds like the manga has a tragic ending which I was expecting in the anime but, I normally find series that are all over happy annoying as hell. However after finishing Usagi Drop I really enjoyed it and, I'm glad that everything appeared to work out at the end. After hearing responses I'm not quite sure I want to read the manga if it will kill the very thing which I enjoyed about the anime and, that is it was happy I bad situation but, A bright future for the Rin. |

I'm so glad I've saved at least one person from reading the manga. This is the best decision you've ever made, trust me. No matter how much you want to read the manga, don't do it. It completely kills everything you loved about the anime. And the ending is just.....disturbing. |

| I read up the ending of the manga after I finished the series, Even though I didnt like it, its not as bad as you all are making it lol. |

JavierR said: That's just a cheap way of dodging a bullet, except, you know...True, the mangas' ending isn't that bad. It's just different lol. Things definitely took a thing for the weird though,but the whole |
 |
| Spoiled myself. :( |
| All these censored out spoilers makes it even more curious and tempting to read the manga now. ;P It probably isn't even that bad. Seeing a previous discussion in which whether there is any romance in Usagi Drop between Daikichi and Rin, and people answering that there is in the manga, I can only assume this is heading in that direction. |

| I'm going to read the manga and this is because I was spoiled. Deal with it. |

| So you want people to NOT read the manga because YOU and a bunch of others didnt like it...seems normal. That was the real ending deal with it. |
| I liked the end of the manga and I recommend read the manga for those who have seen the anime. |

| Yeah, I know about it, man. |

| Saying No Spoilers when making a thread trying to justify how the ending of the anime is favorable while the manga isn't is well ... Can I say just 100% retarded? I mean honestly? Did you honestly think that you could explain why not to read the manga and why the anime is better WITHOUT spoiling anything? Bearing in mind by that saying that the anime has a better outcome implies that the manga has an unfavorable outcome -_- ... Also saying don't read the original, instead watch a retake on the original story is ... Honestly I haven't read/watched this series but this thread only makes me want to read the manga because now I know that the anime destroyed the original intent of the author in order to pander to derps who don't even know what the fuck a spoiler means ... Oh and feel free to take offense to that if you want. |

I said majority of folks didn't like the ENDING of the manga. Go on, gather all the statistics you want....it is true, at least from the amount of people posting on forums and making youtube videos about it. I love the manga and anime as a whole, but the ending is terrible. Not because it is particularly bad or good, but just because it goes against the very essence of the story. I never stated it as fact. I said a lot of people were disappointed with the ending, and if you don't want to ruin the experience you had with the anime, don't bother finishing the manga. That's all. It is just friendly advice. I don't understand why you are so aggressive about the whole thing.

Oh and feel free to take offense to that if you want. This thread is strictly for people who have only seen the anime and wish to continue the story through the manga - or people who have read the manga until the part where the anime ended. The anime is a faithful reconstruction of the first half of the manga so you're not missing out on anything. The second half of the manga is where the author completely changes the tone into something no fan of the anime (or the first half of the story) will want to see. Of course, I'm sure people will be curious and read it anyway as I did.....but that completely and utterly destroyed this series for me. Hopefully, this thread will save a few people from that fate. |
| @Sixth If the ending was so horrible it would have greatly affected their final score.So according to the statistics people didnt care that much.The ending matters a lot in the final score. And there are more chances of making people READ the manga with that kind of threads. |

| this thread actually convinced me to read the manga |

1a. I already said I wasn't 100% sure on that. 1b. You're wrong. Morals, ethics, and laws are not relevant at all to what I said. If you want to talk about retarded comments, you made one here. The definition, the unarguable factual meaning of the term, has no relation strictly to blood relation. This is not about laws, ethics, morals, or anything else subjective. It's objectively and factually a term that has a much broader meaning than blood relation no matter the context or what location it's being used in. I am speaking of the word, the idea, the "thing" - not the law, moral sides of it, or anything else. And the "idea" is globally unchanged, what constitutes it always does no matter where you are. Whether or not a location finds it normal, acceptable, or disgusting and horrible - or even if it calls it something else entirely - doesn't change the factual meaning of the term's application and meaning. 2. You did a great job arguing against my point there by not actually saying anything but hilariously poorly written gibberish that also clearly ignores what I actually said. I said nothing about otaku waiting for Usagi Drop to end - I made a joking remark about how otaku are all disgusting pedophiles The comment had no connection to this franchise aside in your own mind and there was never a single indication that it was. You couldn't even misread it as being anything about the manga. Hell, somehow connecting it to the manga is a fucking amazing feat on it's own. As for Daikichi raising her for that purpose, you put /sarcasm, yet you clearly can't detect any. You also don't understand the very simple idea of exaggeration to get a - very clearly understood (from the context of this entire thread) - point across without having to write up a fucking personal essay about what I'm trying to convey. Whether you noticed the sarcasm or not, you should be aware of something as hilariously simple as exaggeration. This is something you learn before you even start going to any sort of school simply through human interaction. When the context of what you're saying will be understood by anyone not fucking retarded, you can exaggerate a point to more quickly say something; a "tl;dr" of sorts. "He jumps as high as the moon" wouldn't mean someone is literally leaping out of the atmosphere. It would mean they jump high. In any situation where you're not talking to some DARPA researcher working on a special suit made to make people jump to the moon, it's given through obvious context that it's an exaggeration being used to help further the point more easily and casually. There's a term for that, but you can learn that yourself in second grade. You're really taking on the wrong people if you want to keep pretending you're actually intelligent. Go back to your SAO threads, you've always fit right in. |
TallonKarrde23Dec 26, 2012 4:06 AM

| at least this thread is useful in my opinion. unlike SAO threads. even though i like the ending, i agree that most people won't like it. not many people are that open minded. |

| @sixth first post: The threads topic doesn't make sense, because there is no argumentation in it, why you shoudln't watch it. Even though I now know, what I can expect from the manga and I belong to those guys, who like that kind of developments, I wasn't sure, if this really prevents me from reading it. It belongs to Usagi Drop universe and as a fan of that universe, you have to read it. Maybe it isn't first in my priority list. But I really don't see any point telling others to no watch something, but don't explain why. If you said, the MC was going to die, then you had succeded, because you had driven off all guys, who don't like, that a MC dies... But still this point is vague, because tastes can be very very different, even between good friends. Mod Edit: Removed those parts that were referring to deleted posts. |

| http://www.anime4649.com Getting caught up on anime. |
| I wasn't dissatisfied with how the anime ended, but I'll read the manga anyway if I get the inkling to. There's no reason for me to assume that I'd react the same way as the people quoted in the first post. |
| just finished watching the anime, and though I wasn't planning on reading it anyway, i was hearing some rumours about usagi drop being completely different in the manga. this time, I'll just take the "ignorance is bliss" approach and take your advice. if i'm really meant to read it in the future, well i'll just read it when the time comes. thx for the heads up |
     |
| what's wrong with the manga? can someone please explain to me? >< |
toshio0430 said: what's wrong with the manga? can someone please explain to me? >< This post convinced me to read the manga, and today i finished it. Although it does stray away from the original point of the first half, it's not as bad as these guys make it out to be. for me the first half of the manga(which the anime covers) is a masterpiece, while the second half was okay. The second half doesn't feel like it's even the same manga. it doesn't feel like it's usagi drop. they ruined the masterpiece that was the first half and the anime, but it's not bad. it's enjoyble, and not bad at all. these people are exaggerating. what people mostly hate about the manga was the ending, but again, there exaggerating. I don't think it was a good ending, but it was okay. again, it wasn't bad, at least in my opinion. well, i can't really explain without spoiling, but it isn't as bad as they make it out to be, just not the Usagi Drop you know and love. |
| The funny thing is I too was one of the unfortunate souls who decided to read the manga after the anime even though I read so many posts like this telling me not to. I guess it's just goes to show how effective reverse psychology is. But honestly I really wish I had not read the manga, not because it was horribly bad or tragic but rather it just completely ruined the image I had of Rin and Daikichi. I don't know how to describe the feeling but I felt like the ending made the rest of the series seem like a waste of time and effort. |
