Uwah, Rin is just too adorable with her first meeting with Daikichi, running away. <3
Her existence just makes my heart melt; I love all her faces - the sleepy one, confused one and even the sad one. Daikichi is my hero for taking her in.

Riena was so lulzannoying like a kid though.

So cute <3 I just know this is going to be my show of the season.

I love the artstyle too. It's very fitting.

Also, MAL won't let me mark this as watching -______-

It seems like this will be my favourite one for this season. Art was great too. Rin is just too cute <3

Also, Reina was so annoying even for a kid.

I loved the first half of the manga so much. This is going to be a fantastic show.
I love the characters and how neither of them are made to be overly beautiful or cute.
I love the OP / ED too.

Definitely a 5 / 5 so far.

Amazing first episode. The art looks good and refreshing, OP/ED fits the series quite well.
And oh my, Rin.. She's so damn cute, Rena would have already taken her home xD
Finally something good to look forward to on Thursday ;p
Just hoping it will at least stay at the same level as it is now, since the opening episode was great.

This show clearly has some pacing problems because of the fact that it's a relatively long running manga with only 11 episodes, but I'd be heartless if I didn't enjoy this, and I did. It was so very cute and relaxing, things that many anime tried to be but failed in recent times. I'll definitely be looking forward to my weekly dose every Thursday.

P.S: D'aawwwwwwww.

I think this run will only cover the first manga arc so I guess the pacing is just fine for this ^^

I really like the art style and colors used. It reminds me of the older noitaminA shows with the soft palette colors.
And Rin is adorable. Would make a good little sister. Reina, on the other hand, is annoying as hell.

Anyway, I know what happens at the end of the series and I hope the anime never reaches it with its 11 episode run. Would end up a better series that way, in my opinion.

A rather good point made here for Hourou Musuko through that very art made itself very realistic and so it's wise to take that into consideration when one is trying to make a realistic show about life. Right?

I for one can related to this anime. I have 2 sisters that are the result of adultery to say the least. I will keep it at that. I tend to keep my distance because of that.

It's the first episode and I already teared up. I am weak to Rin's adorable demeanor and the awesome pacing.

Best series this season by far, and perhaps shaping up to be the best anime drama ever.

I love the art! It's something you don't usually see. I like all the sloppy pastel colors. <3

The ending with the onigiri was soo cute omg. I can't wait to see more!

Wow, that was great. I loved everything about it. The art, music, pacing, characters.

I have a feeling this will be even more of a tearjerker than Anohana. Affected me more emotionally than anything I've seen for a while.

Aw, Rin made me smile, she's so calm and cute c:
I like Rin's faces they're entertaining xD
Reina is the image of any odd bratty kid, lol

Well, this anime is just as nice as Ikoku Meiro no Croisee, only calmer I'm guessing lol

the OP is nice and so is the ED <3

Just when I thought it will take some first episode to compete with Natsume San this season shows up Usagi Drop. It filled my expectations and went beyond.

Sweet drops have already filled my bucket of expectations.

This will be one great anime, consider the manga has finished, I am hoping for a great adaptation.

Rin is so cute. Makes me want to father a daughter! <3
