Kouki got its own episode this week. Oh boy I can relate to this well. Not really for me, but for my nephew who is really a pain in the ass. But anyway, amazing, amazing episode. I never felt this moved by an Anime since Tokyo Magnitude 8. It also made me think a lot in the Anime clichés that we all knew; like [...]

We are about three-quarters through the Summer season, and for Usagi Drop, there is still no obvious climax in sight. That’s not to say that there won’t be one, in fact, chances are that Usagi Drop will end up delivering. And from the hints we’ve just gotten from these two episodes, oh boy will it [...]

Hm, earlier this week, rain forced Okabe and Kurisu to close the distance between them, leading to confessions of love. In Usagi Drop, it is, again, a catalyst in bringing people together. Hell, a storm got Shion and Nezumi to … Continue reading →

Episode 09 - Once again, we got another solid episode of Usagi Drop. This series has been excellent at creating a reflective atmosphere amongst the cast, and this episode proves no different, this time by focusing on the concept of family. Of course, there were still silly and light hearted moments too, but the end [...]

There's a typhoon about to hit as we reach episode nine of Usagi Drop - and no, I don't just mean that Kouki is visiting again, although that is part of the impending natural disaster I suppose. In fact, Kouki gets quite a lot of the attention throughout this episode, as we see him being generally boisterous around Daikichi and both boisterous and work shy at school as an opportunity to draw

Summary: Rin’s in the thick of school, learning the real stuff like how to write the zillion letters of the Japanese alphabet, while Kouki takes a bit more pride in the size of his poop than his calligraphy and drawing skills. Kouki is a troublesome kid, and the teachers try every method they can to [...]

Last time on Usagi Drop we successfully dealt with Daikichi’s sister’s midlife crisis.  She probably won’t be bothering us again.  So we have some new crisis to look forward to, possibly a 1/13th life crisis from Rin.  When you’re six years old crises are just a way of life, the world is large and you [...]

I thought the latest Usagi Drop was the weakest of the season, mostly because of how heavy it was on the Masako characterization. But was it just me? Was I being too harsh? I decided to consult a second opinion with megas kawaii blogger, Blindability from Bokutachi no Blog. I think every minute spent on [...]

As I’m rushed for time, I will just post a quick summary of what occured in this episode, and my thoughts also. This episode goes into detail about Diachi and Rin relationship with Rin’s real mother. I can’t wait to see more episodes of this series. Episode Rating: A-

I found out that this series is 11 episodes long. The manga, on the other hand, has 56 chapters. While I have no idea where in the manga this episode takes place (I've been avoiding reading it), I'm aware that there's a time-skip about halfway through. So...second season? You're being cute! This episode featured the Obon Festival, which commemorated both a visit the late grandfather's

He has to go to work, so he sends Rin off to day care every day, and tries to enjoy some time on the weekends. Though Rin’s namesake bellflowers in the yard aren’t in bloom [...]
