My heart melted.

Both Daikichi and Rin are such heartwarming characters.

And yes, there will be a lot of sweat in the future....

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Holy Shit. There's not even a HINT of moe or some cliche overused fluff and I found myself with the biggest smile at Rin's cuteness... Story is advancing quite well and according to the manga. Can't wait for the next episode.

Rin is so adorable whenever she makes those faces, reminds me kind of the Peanuts comic.


Glad I wasn't the only one, was thinking that everytime they showed a different facial expression of hers.

Wow, this has the same fuzzy cozy feeling of happiness from kimi ni todoke but is fueled by a different kind of love; parental love.

Also VERY GOOD JOB for Daikichi when he stopped smoking for Rin.

It's so cute!!!

This reminds me of when I was growing up and both my parents were working. I was in daycare from 6 in the morning , to 6:30 at night every day of the week. The first to arrive, and last to leave. I remember how close I became to the counselors because of that. This anime is pure sweetness.

This anime is good. I go into more detail here on my blog, but I have to say, this story was well-written, despite its simplicity. The bit where Daikichi takes a smoke and watches the trail of smoke drift toward Rin's stuff--that little sequence conveyed a lot, and all without saying a word.

I really like how Usagi Drop handles character expressions. The art style in general just lends itself well to the tone and atmosphere of the series.
I also like that both Daikichi and Rin are very easy to like, and easy to relate to. I can just imagine how a Hollywood movie of this kind of story would have a sarcastic, helpless adult and an ornery, obnoxious child for the two roles. (AKA pretty much the opposite of what we have here.)

Rin is just too cute. Love this.

I can already see Rin is going to be a very smart and tricky girl when she grows up and I am pretty damn sure that she is going to make Daikishi falls for her.

Another great episode. So many things in this remind me of my own life. I'm guessing he's going to track the mother down eventually from the way he was talking while looking through the baby book.

Rin is definitely adorable, but i feel bad for her in certain scenes., She just looks so sad. She may be the only character in the history of anime that makes me want to protect her, for that i give this a 5/5 well, that and the great anime itself.


Yeah, she is a total woobie. Anyone who watches the show and DOESN'T want to go out of his way to make her feel better (and hug her til she pops in between) is easily the worst person alife.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

In terms of heartwarming slice-o-life type of anime, I predict this will be the best series this season.
Personally, I'm finding great enjoyment in what we've seen so far.

edit: forgot to mention, I would like to see less Reina.. that child is annoying, unlike the adorable Rin.

Does this season have any other slice of life genre anime? I predict this will be the best anime of this season irrespective of genre.

Such cute character interactions, expressions - You know, the little details like how Rin played with Dai' hair at the train station after he tried to fix his hair. The way Rin was on the bed while Dai is on call etc. Too cute. 5/5. Oh the ending, haha, it was done so well.

It was really really cute. Parenting is a hard job, and really.. Hats off to Daikichi for being responsible. Rin is very understanding. She's not a spoilt brat.. They're a good match. I love them both so much. :)

LOL at Daikichi wondering what would happen if he got a girlfriend.. And the "sweat" part was ROFL! Kawai!!

Wonderful bits of life shown. amazing. :)
