First off, way to go gramps. 79 and had a kid...crazy. That being said, this episode was amazing. Really plucked at the heart strings when she asked if he was ever going to wake up. The two kids really had contrasting personalities which I think made Rin all the more appealing. Can't wait to see where this one goes next.

You'd have to be a robot with a heart of stone to not feel for that family, but I think I really cried when Rin puts Grandpa's favorite flower on there instead of the white ones. I don't know if white flowers are traditional for Japanese burials or not, but that part really hit me in the heart.

But when the guy stands up and asks Rin if he wants to go, and she runs to him. Man I gushed tears at that. That was such a beautiful moment. THe show was worth watching just for that precious moment.

Okay, already crying like a little girl from thie part with the flowers onward. (not even half way through the series....) I can't believe I waited a year to pick up this series...

It hits me kinda hard because Rin reminds me so much of my niece, it's kinda hard comprehending it as I type this.

Sacrificing whatever you can for a child like that is a small price to pay for that child's smile in return.

Art reminds me of Nodame Cantabile but with a more different way of animating the characters. I'm alright with it.

Soundtrack is gorgeous. It displayed like 6-7 beautiful compositions in only one episode. Definitely downloading this later.

Wasn't expecting much out of this series because I thought I was gonna dislike a "old guy-young girl" kind of show. But, wow. This exceeded my expectations so much.

Like some others, I nearly cried during this episode, specifically at the part where Rin cried. It was sad.

5/5 - That's a high first impression score from me!

Very interesting start, looks like it could be very promising, the story, art and just the feel to it is really amazing for me! I wonder how it will go!

From this first episode I could already tell it deserves a 9/10 for my standards!

Loved it.

Reina is kinda a brat. I can sense a rivalry between her and Rin.

Why do I have a feeling that there is cross generational incest here? HAHAHAHA Hopefully not.

OP theme is cute but I prefer the ED better.

This already feels like a tear-jerker anime. I'll probably like this one a lot. The main character's age is also rather high and should lead to some more novel situations instead of the usual school related stuff.

For some odd reason, tears just fell from my eyes when Daikichi went to the garden and asked Rin if she wanted to go home with him ;_; beautiful. And I also laughed at the end when he was like, "don't call me oji-san, after all you're my aunt." XD So weird to have an aunt that young.

That was a really nice episode, but that Reina-kid is the personification of everything I hate about children.

My thoughts exactly, really liking the main characters. Rin is absolutely adorable, Reina.... not so much, she's the opposite. The artwork is my favorite thing about the show. I'm new to anime and this is the first "subs only show" I'm venturing into. Only downside is I have to pause when I want to look all the details of the artwork so I don't accidentally miss a line or two.

I'm pretty sure Rin is the cutest, most adorable little girl I have ever seen X3

Her existence just makes my heart melt; I love all her faces - the sleepy one, confused one and even the sad one. Daikichi is my hero for taking her in.


That is an excellent way of putting it; my thoughts exactly! <3

Seriously... although, and I hate to admit it, I know some people irl who would probably say the same things those people in this episode were saying .__.

Also, I like Daikichi already, he seems to be a good person :)

This was downright adorable. I thought my heart would be a little more resilient for these type of things but I was starting to tear up in just this first episode. The artwork and the music build a very good atmosphere. I've been enjoying Barakamon from this season so this seems it will be something I will enjoy as well. Though it will go down a different route

I enjoyed the first episode. I'm glad the little girl didn't end up having an annoying personality like that other little girl in the family. She seems quiet and introspective.

The animation is really nice as well.
