She's only 5 year old. And she doesn't have her parents around, If I were her I will feel unsecure too.

Hey, she's going through a hard time and she's only 5! Quite frankly she's got a lot more reasons to cry that Shina (Stellvia) did and a lot less experience at dealing with life. I think she's been amazingly strong considering that she's just lost both her parents.

[bluemist]

I accept your reasons, but I think the anime didn't do well on the 'crying Yuzuyu' scenes. Maybe it's personal preference, but I think those scenes are kinda dragging.

[NoSanninWa]

I find those scenes heartwrenching! Poor little Yuzu-chan is so cute that I just keep wanting to comfort her. Not dragging at all. You're just a heartless Oni.

Nah I'm not heartless. I simply wasn't hit by her emotional lows because (for me) the anime didn't project it as well as the manga (I have just read seven endearing chapters!)

But I'm certainly hit by her emotional highs! Everytime she smiles I smile too. So cute... especially the voice fits really really well!

Actually the dragging out in emotional scenes seems to be a feature of this anime. It's not exactly subtle in pointing out what scenes deserve the most attention: Either the background changes to a psychedelic pattern, or the scene just freezes for a long time. Not that I mind, normally, although I guess it is a bit patronizing. I have not seen the manga so I don't know how it is done there.

Bluemist, I've also skimmed through some chapters in the manga, I don't really wanna go too far ahead of the anime. ;-) But I think I know why you like the manga beter... because your the one acting out all the chars in your head. ;-)

...maybe?

It's not a spoiler since they show it in the op, and end themes... but I can't wait to actually watch the eps. when Kokoro and Kippei finally hook-up. Saw some pics of it in the manga...

I think it's more of my 'seen first' effect. Because I read some of the manga 'first' I tend to compare, even though they should be separate entities because they have separate entertainment mediums.

And my 'seen first' effect usually means I would like the 'first' (manga) better than the 'second' (anime).

Well enough about that, I still like both anyway!

Bluemist, this it kinda offtopic but how do you make such good screenshots as are on your web site? Do you make them yourself? Because I use a digital camera and the pictures are much less sharp than yours. I would love to make wallpapers from Baby, it has the cutest art of all!

I don't make wallpapers, so I can't help you there. If you meant the AB screenshots, I merely make screencaps out of fansubs. My video player is BSPlayer, and it can capture video frames into jpg. I edit the picture to make it small. Then that's it. No magic and fancy stuff.

Well, let's face it, the manga is definately superior to the animated series. I simply love Maki Yoko's style..it's so dreamy, i always melt right away^^
Still, i do appreciate the oportunity to see this lovely manga story in motion..i especially like to see the animated Yuzuyu..awwww, isn't she sweet? I want a daughter right now!
I'm also very fond of her seiyuu, she just fits her role like a glove. The moment i heard her voice i just thought " woohh they actually took a young girl for the role instead of a "seasoned" seiyuu who's acting like a little girl...brilliant choice".
I fail to comprehend why some members don't like her, but that's just me i guess^^
Oh yeah, it's still worthwhile to follow the show if you already read several chapters ahead..at least for me it didn't spoil any fun at all.

Spoiler for Ep 5:

Damnit, I was hoping that Kippei would slap that stupid bitch back to the stoneage, but instead they made up and she said she was sorry? She was acting to psychotic back in Ep 4/early Ep 5 to apologize and realize she was doing something wrong. Whatever. As long as she doesn't come back into the series that's fine with me.

Also it seems like the ice between Kokoro and Kippei is melting, YAY! I can't wait for them to get together! She's so.....good for him I dunno

And I don't like Yuzuyu's seiyuu because she sucks at crying. It sounds so fake. I don't like her voice but I'm slowly getting used to it.

Speaking from actual experience, a 5-year olds crying IS mostly fake^^
They just want to mess with our heads so that we are on good terms with their wishes....very convenient

Was it just me or did the animation in episode 5 seem alot better then what it had been. I mean its still average but it looked pretty decent in that episode.

This anime is so cute! I'm downloading episode 5 right now! Anybody else here like it? ^___^

I like it a lot my friend, but I already said so in the sub forum in the Ashiteruse Baby thread ^^

I guess not in the perfect world of animes. The 5 years old are as pure and innocent as little puppies wich makes it even greater. ^__________^

[x3no]

I don't know why but i really like this series, more and more every week. This is the series that i most look after every week right now(last week without a release was a torture, keep hitting F5 on some unfortunate website). And I pretty much have watch all the new spring series.

First the OP/ED are absolutely wonderful slow-pace songs. The character designs are beautiful. The animation could be better but i could live with it..... since its the story that matters in this series and the style they approach doesn't make it too obvious. The seiyuu are great, no complain there. Everything just feels right with this anime.

Well, that's all i have to say. =)

It would have been even MORE interesting if they had started dating.

I agree. There seemed to be a lot more camera movement in this ep; and Kippei's facial design looks more handsome in this ep. than in the last one. Maybe this is just my imagination though.

[opanime]

yep, its a great anime so far!
