Usagi Drop may sound like a very mundane anime from the description and synopsis but it is different from the mainstream anime that is popular at the moment.

Now if you're looking for some weird fetish between a loli and a grown man, you are definitely in the wrong place. Usagi drop is a nice slice of life anime that warms the heart with moments that can be shared between a tight-knit family. I myself am a young adult male and I found myself thinking to the future about having a daughter of my own and sharing a close bond with her too.

The fact that the guardian in the story is still learning to be a parental figure makes the story even more interesting because it shows the growth of Daikichi as a guardian and Rin as she is literally growing up.

The art style and animation is pastel and soft which helps the lightheartedness of the series and is good for this type of slice of life anime.

The characters are ones that you grow to love and the relationship between Daikichi and Rin is one that will warm you to the core because of how innocent both characters are as they become newly formed family. The secondary cast also provide great comedic relief but also act as a "foil" to enhance the main characters.

If I could improve something about the anime, it would be the problem of Rin's biological mother. Rin's mother is briefly mentioned and problems between her, her boyfriend, and her internal struggles are introduced but not gone into.

Overall, I enjoyed this anime and would recommend if you are looking for a nice anime to watch as a break between other hectic action-packed anime and are looking for something to calm down to.
