Story 9/10
This story is a very heart-warming one with a wonderful ending. The story at first starts out really slow and kind of boring, but after the first episode, things tend to pick up speed and progresses at a very good pace. Daikichi is presented with many challenges that every parent must face at one time or another and tries his hardest to be a good parent and a good friend. Rin finally gets to make friends and discover new things about life and slowly shows her personality to the people she has grown attached to.
Character 10/10
The supporting characters of this series are not very unique, but the main characters (Daikichi and Rin) do seem to have some originality. Unlike many other anime shows I've seen, Rin is actually portrayed as a very innocent child that gets frustrated and sometimes ashamed with growing up. Daikichi seems like a very boring and lazy guy, but is showing his good will and good character by sacrificing more for Rin than he originally thought he would.
Art 8/10
I was very impressed with the art and liked how they tended to use two different art styles. In the beginning of each episode the style reminds me of what people would use when trying to convey a flashback or memory, while the rest of the episode is another more defined style.
The art style all together feels very nostalgic of what anime shows in the 80's and 90's had.
Sound 9/10
The music in the show is just spectacular. It is what makes this anime, not just a show, but a piece of art.
Enjoyment 10/10
I couldn't get enough of the cute situations that Rin was always showing. It really makes me wish that I had a six year old kid. This is something I probably won't forget and I wish there were more than just 11 episodes. I hope there will be another season.
