Leaving aside the discussion about manga, the Usagi Drop anime was the best slice of life/drama of 2011 with Hourou Musuko and Colorful (film) being honorable mentions. Realistic, heartwarming, likable and an adult male lead that you could associate yourself with, it never dwelled into melodrama nor did it go overboard with its comedy. It was the anime that gave me a smile every Friday (I think that's when it aired) and I have gladly bought the DVDs which were available in my country, and I have absolutely no regrets.
It was best series to have aired on noitamina in a while, and we haven't had anything since then that could beat it (Sakamichi no Appollon could not touch it imo due to its somewhat poor pacing and terrible last episode). I fully endorse it and approve of it winning the slice of life award for the Animesuki Awards 2011.
