This is rushed... I wasn't able to feel the emotional impact like in LN... and 12 episodes only?? give me a break...

Nevertheless, I like the fan-service though, I really hope that the anime wouldn't turn out to be fan-service focused loli BS. As long as they keep the heartwarming family themed plot, I'm down with this.

Fairly certain they are intending to do 2 cour, just split (maybe a season between them).

Her suffering is more evident and even worse in Usagi no Mark, the 1st chapter actually made me cry.

The parent's death and usagi's development is very easily predicted.
but now here a question.... how will he gonna support 3 girl while attending school at the same time?.
I guess there is something to expect from this Anime =P
Actually it has not been confirmed that they are death it's only been said that they went missing which means that there still is a possibility that they are alive.
Tho it's has to be mentioned that when a airplane goes missing that the possibility's of there being survivors are small.

I agree that a college student raising three girls impossible but remember that he has a friend helping him out and there are students who manage to complete there education while raising a child.
It's hard but possible.
It's pretty brave of him to stand up to the family like that raising those girls will be hard especially in his position, and then standing up against the husbands family like that.

I have to say that the family's decisions where a bit strange.
They probably had the best intentions of sending Sora of to a boarding school but it just gives her the impression that she is not wanted by the family and that they just send her off somewhere.
Then there is Miu they could not even be bothered to contact her mother because she is a foreigner, i mean does that even matter she is still Miu's mother.
I don't know about Japan but in Europe and the States you must inform a parent according to law if something like that where to happen.
It also seems like that Yuuta could not even take part in the decision making till the last moment.
Tho i have to say that i can understand the separating part there is not always a possibility for all siblings to stay together but you should at least try to do that.

Exactly my thoughts. Yuuta does NOT look his age. His face and voice do not match at all.

Nevertheless this anime is cute as hell. Looking forward to the rest of it.

First 15 minutes, ~ooh so cute! Hina is too adorable, Miu is just so :D, and Sora such a cute tsundere. That meteor shower scenes was just so heartwarming too.

Then bam... it was heartbreaking to watch those three like that. :( Such a sad scene. I don't think / hope they aren't dead and are just missing but still really sucks for them.

On another note, I want more Raika and I just can't wait to see what she'll say to Yuuta bringing all those kids back to his dorm. Equally excited to see what Miu/ Sora would do when they see her as well.

Damns, that is tragic. In an anime that I thought was all cheerful, the mother and sister dies.

So apparently Sora likes Yuuto?

I doubt that the girls will be totally dependent on Yuuto's limited financial resources. Since the father was a responsible salaryman there will almost certainly be life insurance through the employer--as well as possible benefits that would be available from the state (I know how it works in Canada, so I'm assuming it is similar in Japan). In my home jurisdiction, if a married couple dies simultaneously, the younger person is deemed to be a survivor in terms of settling the first estate--I don't know how this would impact custody of the children but based on Usagi drop, it appears as if such things may be a little more informal in Japan (again, locals could enlighten us if this is an issue). If the sister were deemed to be last survivor that would make Yuuto the closest relative. I think the key for Yuuto is his memory of his sister raising him on her own. Sora is old enough to take some responsibility--although it will be tough on her--so the living arrangement is possible although challenging.

Yet another example of how anime goes much beyond North American animation in dealing with real issues at the same time as presenting broad comedy. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes...

For those who expected lotsa loli fanservice in this show: Drop this now or else you will be disappointed.
Yes. This is coming from the one who read the novel. xDD

Although the episode kinda rushed the depressing part on the novel, it is still good nonetheless.

Another good episode and the ending showed promise granted it was a bittersweet development but still an interesting direction for the plot. I don't know why but planes in scenarios like that really give an ominous vibe and this is coming from someone who actually enjoys flights; well to note i found it strange that they didn't say the were "deceased" by rather missing but they are already doing the adoption process; they should either leave them dead or alive already because it would be really cliche and unrealistic if they turn out to be the only survivors and they magically come back one day.

There is one idea I got and decided to share before I forget it. Yuuta can make the girls do modeling. It would pay loads of stuff and I see Sora/Miu easily in it.

Miu more than Sora due to her foreign traits.

Normally I'd be surprised at the twist with the missing plane since I never read the manga or novel but the synopsis kind of stated this already which killed any shock factor for me.

With that said I didn't mind the depressing part being rushed a bit for this show since its was already expected and just setting up the main plot.

Another good episode for me, enjoying the show so far.

How is Yuuta suppose to take care of 3 girls? Even so, how are they suppose to live cramp up in a small apartment... I mean, two of them are are teen girls, they'll need some space for themselves...

Hmmm... hopefully they answer them properly.

Disagree completely.

I intended to not watch this show when I saw the cover and read the synopsis, then I heard about how this show is not the ecchi/harem I thought it was, so I give episode 1 a go. Liking what I saw, and watch this episode.

I mean, granted, Yuuta is a young male after all, there will most probably be awkward moments once in a while, but all in all, it's the family theme that I'm seeking.

I want to see how the living arrangements work out, and I hope this doesn't devolve into some kind of ecchi underage loli harem clusterfuck. I'd also like to find out what the fuck is wrong with the sobbing girl.

I already knew beforehand because of the synopsis, but it's just so damn sad! I wanna know if they're just missing or if they're actually dead (I hope not). =(

It's brave of Yuuta to take them in though. The same thing happened to him and his sister. I hope he will be able to manage.

First time I heard the ED too! It's pretty nice. =)

Yeah exactly and then with your money they will survive more. Of course no one would know but the feeling would be good of such things that would help them.

Forgot about that in the synopsis. So I didn't know it would happen...

I"m at the airplane scene thinking: "hmmm it would make a good story if the airplane crashed". minutes later... airplane crash news...

I find it strange that while the manga managed to pull me in instantly, I'm having a hard time forcing myself to watch the anime. Sure it has its good moments here and there, but most of the time, it feels like a chore, and it doesn't help that Yuuta seems 50% less likeable than his manga counterpart...

Pointless ranting aside, things did get better towards the end of this episode, so I might have some hope for the next few episodes yet. By the way, I heard that there are only 12 episodes planned right? Man, sure hope the show doesn't come to an abrupt end.

P.S.
Yabuki Kentaro's illustration at the end looks totally awesome.
