Bunny Drop (2011) Is a soul-nourishing short slice-of-life story that beautifully captures fatherhood & family. From its animation straight out of a storybook, to its cute story and incredible characters, Bunny Drop is a fantastic entry into the anime medium (and void of the over-sexual, creepy, high school, incest, repetitive nonsense, that's plagued it since the late '90s). Bunny Drop excels in its short span (11 episodes) displaying the growing (and adorable) father-daughter bond between Daikichi and Rin, their chemistry is both adorable and hilarious but never zany, a common theme within the show is just how human everyone is, the humor here comes from a place of relatability rather than the absurdist humor typically associated with animanga. Each interaction between the characters feels natural, and there's much to learn here for both children and parents. The animation is beautiful, the first minute or so of each episode genuinely looks as if it's from a children's book, and while that crayon-like quality fades, the animation and art style preserve the feeling throughput. The soundtrack while nothing spectacular, suits the show well. And unlike many other slice-of-life (cough cough Kaguya-Sama) this series genuinely is a one-year snapshot that leaves the viewer wanting more.

Whether or not you've enjoyed anime at all, I'd recommend Bunny Drop, the show truly shines outside its medium and delivers an emotional and heartfelt story!
