I like the fact that although he was wrong about the neighbor he did try to protect Rin.

For me it's not so much whether I like or dislike Kouki. His character just rings so true with what I know of children and remember about being a child that it's hard not to be amused or feel nostalgic when watching him. I guess that means if I had to pick, I'd say I like him.
I also think he serves as a good foil for Rin, and when it comes down to it a kid needs a playmate.

Dammit, I didn't want to like the anime, but it's pretty well done, holds up quite nicely to the manga. Although I'm not a fan of Daikichi's VA and his mothers, but they grew on me by the end of the episode. Goddammit Rin would melt the icey black heart of even the most cruel, unforgiving warlord. One of my favorite characters ever.

You know he's still a kid , and who never did stupid things ?
I can imagine his character later , you know , he can be the kind of funny guy in the anime who comes after the main serious male lead and can be a pervert too ^^ |

I means i probably was as silly as back when i was as young. But that's why i don't write a whole novel (or make a whole anime) about it All the episodes have pretty much perfect so far. But i fear that they will bring down the road where the focus is no longer between Daikichi, Rin, her mom, but into school life mode where Daikichi drop down to support character who appear like once for 20 seconds every episode

I want to remind manga readers to not leave any comments that suggest anything about future story content. That includes any comments that imply that people will or will not like certain story events or characters based on what they will do later. First, we consider that a spoiler, and those aren't allowed. Second, there's never any absolute guarantee that an anime will follow the source material faithfully anyway, so you can never be sure. If you wish to discuss the manga, please do so in the manga thread. I hope this to be the only needed warning in this thread.

Honestly , I don't see a problem to show Kouki in the anime , he's Rin's friend , we just saw a bit friendship between them and how hopeless was Kouki , it's not like if they had focused on him. -Slice of life.
And btw , he might be Rin's boyfriend later on. Unless he'll get a harem |

I'm kind of glad they never went into details explaining that. The notion that Masako somehow hooked up with the gramps (who's by the looks of it, supposed to have been a nice man) is yucky as it is, so I'm hoping they'll leave it at that as it wouldn't do this show any good...

Caught up with the latest three episodes in a single sitting. There's a lot to digest and, in any case, I would probably end up repeating what everyone else has said. Like Shiroth, I greatly enjoyed the latest tree-planting episode and I don't feel it was necessarily "weaker" than the rest of the show. The differences, as usual, are in the subtleties: This is the first episode in a while in which Rin was not confronted by some kind of domestic problem or personal insecurity in Daikichi's home, and her talkativeness is particularly noticeable as a result. She had demonstrated a certain eloquence and precociousness in earlier episodes, but she was chatting almost non-stop during some scenes this time, the strongest sign yet that she is adjusting extremely well to her new family environment. As for the tradition of planting trees, I took it as a metaphor for the traditional family tree that connects all branches of a family to one another. This was clearly illustrated in the closing scene, where we see Rin, followed by Daikichi, then his mother and, lastly, Daikichi's grandfather, all treading the same root path. By this time, there are already very strong hints that Rin may not actually be biologically related to Daikichi, but this episode shows that the ties between Rin and her new family have gone beyond mere biology — they are tied now by fate and emotions which, for once, may prove thicker than blood. |

Ep 6 was sooooo adorable! Man ... 8/10 vote for it from me.
It continues to be an excellent adaptation of an excellent manga! The tree planting ... err ... "mini arc" (?) is one of my fave sections of the manga as well.
