Kaga Rin: "Stop fighting!!!"
Me: "Stop telling me things I don't need to know. I will read what I want. It's not for anyone to tell me what not to read or how I should bubble wrap my own sensitive feelings." |

Well... the implied suggestion that if I don't arrive at the same conclusions he has that I'm stupid and the accompanied insults certainly validate his assertions...
Never mind that this is the anime thread... not the manga thread. If it is written poorly, it certainly wouldn't be the first time I've run into annoying writing. The first manga I ever read had me curling my lips at the author's inept jerking around the characters. His "intended ending" no longer made sense because he'd gone in another direction too well and it was quite a trainwreck forcing it back.

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. |

Those of us who pre-ordered the NISA release of Usagi Drop should see their copies arriving any day now. If you're looking to purchase the show now, you'll have to wait until September since NISA has apparently already sold out the entire first pressing. Robert of Robert's Anime Corner Store reports reports on his blog that Usagi Drop "has been the most heavily pre-ordered title for us so far this year." I find it both remarkable and a hopeful sign that a show about a thirty-year-old man and five-year-old girl without ecchi, fighting or dubbing reached the top spot instead of (dubbed) shows like Panty & Stocking.

The show fared decently on BD/DVD in Japan, actually - not great, but better than most NoitaminA works - so this isn't a complete shock. But yes, a very hopeful sign.
I'd like to see NoitaminA air an adaptation of the second half of the manga, just because it would look like "Scanners" in here...

Got mine in the mail today, there is an interview in the art book with practically everyone involved with the anime: director, key animation director/character designer, screenwriter, opening sequence directors, & Yumi Hotta the manga-ka.
I am very impressed! There is also something on the ending sequence with images of all the little changes made to the ending each episode.

So, I read the manga a while ago, including the whole slice of life -> josei transition (which I had mixed feelings about, but could understand) .. but only just recently watched the anime!
How charming it is! It, of course, reminds me of Aishiteruze Baby! but.. the pastels, the animation usage of SD faces and Daikichi's deadpan expressions totally made it for me. It definitely brought a smile to my face and made me nostalgic (or dreaming..) for simpler times.. |

I recently had a chance to watch the Live Action version of the film very recently on the big screens so I'll just cross-post my quick thoughts on it here

kache, please wrap your entire post in AnimeSuki's custom [images][/images] tags. Remember that we still have members on low-speed Internet connections and ones who pay for the bandwidth they use. The special [images] tag only downloads the image when the tag is opened.
Personally, I try to resize all the images I post to a width of 640 pixels. Posting full 1920x1080 frames is really overkill.
