Another vote for Usagi Drop as slice-of-life as good as it gets. Gentle, subtle, understated exploration of the joys of being a parent - pretty much as I remember. Maybe Rin is a bit too good to be true, but not ridiculously so.

Episode 11 (which I've just caught up with) wasn't as good as some of the earlier ones, and did have a bit of recap in it, but it rounded off the series beautifully. Credit to Production IG for the art - the watercolour style backgrounds have been gorgeous - and for making anime for grown-ups.

I hope Usagi Drop got good viewing figures in Japan - it would be nice to have more series like it.
