 |
| Well, they did not rush the end, they just cut it and left it as cliff-hanger. But overall a very cute series. |
| oohh very differnt from manga cool ending ^^ |

| Very different from the manga, but I liked it nonetheless |

| Liked the series quite a bit, but the ending left me double checking to see if i had actually just watched the last episode. |
| I thought her mom was gonna come get her too but I still liked the ending. =D |
 |
| Overall, a great series. I loved the story and the characters. Can't say I was fond of the drawing style though. And I would of liked to see mom and daughter get back together. for the series I would give it 9/10 |
 |
| Great series but i wish that the anime would match up fully with the manga for once. :/ |
 |
| ONe of My favorite ANimes I always listen to the Opening very often these days |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Never thought i'd be one of those guys in anime threads complaining about an anime diverging from the manga, but i really think the manga had a better ending. This is unfortunate, as I came to this anime hoping to get more than the rushed ending, and it turns out to have even less lol Great manga though. |
 |
| i was worried about how they would end it i thought it would be rushed but i actually liked the ending that they had surprisingly |
"I am the bone of my sword, Steel is my body and Fire is my blood, I have created over a thousand blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life, Have withstood pain to create many weapons, Yet, those hands will never hold anything, So as I pray, unlimited blade works" |
| Loved these series favorited ^^ Time to read manga i cant leave it like this xD |
| I Love it~ It's a happy ending. ;) My Mom and I watching this anime together. Thanks to Aishiteruze Baby. Another bonding moments ♥ Ah, does anyone knows the background music used in this episode? :D |
 From today onward, it's.. A new beginning. It's not the end. Everything's just starting." |
| Unfortunately in the last ep i thought Yuzuyu's cries were annoying. lol. Yep i had expected her mum to fetch her and the parting scene between Yuzuyu and Kippei as well.. but it was kinda a cliffhanger. Would love more Kippei & Kokoro's scenes though. Overall, a pretty enjoyable series. ;) |
| They should make a second season . Loved this anime :) |
 |
| Good series, overall 8/10. I liked it much more then Usagi Drop. Time to read the manga. |
 |
| I now feel obligated to read the manga for the true ending. It's not that this was a bad ending, nor did it really feel like it was cut short. I just don't want to let go of the characters and if there is a chance to find out more about what happens to Kippei and Kokoro, as well as Yuzu and her mother, I'm going to take the opportunity. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| LOL, Kokoro-chin's priceless face during the introduction to his family XD Great heart-warming series 8/10 |
 |
| The romance element in the manga always bothered me, I thought leaving things after an upbeat episode was nice. The promise of the three of them getting a long better from now on and making it easier to juggle relationships. |

| This was a very nice and heartwarming anime, completely what I was looking for. I am glad the ending was as conclusive as it was, and also love how positive it was, just wish the last bit at the very end would be about his sister finding him and Kokoro sleeping in the same bed since she never once met his girlfriend. This reminded me of Love So Life and Gakuen Babysitters and how much I like the whole raising a younger child kind of story, definitely gonna check out more after this. |
 |
| Wow amazing last episode, wasn't rushed at all! Loved it. :) |
 |
| Loved the series but the ending wasnt really anything special. a lot of unanswered plots and there is yet to be a sequel. I really like how they changes clothes and hair styles (even if it is for the worst). seriously we need more like this on today's anime. Yuzuyu's CV was a child as well so some parts seems to be unprofessional. I guess it makes it more authentic? What really bothes me was how HUGE their eyes were. FUCK DA PROPORTIONS. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!~ out of 10. |

| Well, that turned out surprisingly well. Also looks like Kokoro herself may have found a new family - her 'deer staring at the headlights' look when being inspected by Kippei's family was hysterical. I liked that they didn't try to force rush a conclusion. Time to add the manga to my 'to read' list to see how it ends. |

| I want a Kippei! For the first half Kippei and his playboy ways bothered me, but after he found love and matured he really became great. I am glad that the ending didn't become cliche. The mother has some real issues that can not be solved in a short time. I don't agree with her choices but I do understand them. Plus, I don't think I could have handled a separation scene between Kippei and Yuzuy. |

| Great anime, story, I loved characters, at first I was bit worried about drawing but I got used to it and didnt really care later. Ending was probably better this way, if her mother came back, she'd have to leave Kippei and it would be kinda rushed so .. It's kinda pitty I'm not into Manga since I'd like to know how it ended there. Family staring at Kokoro and then Kokoro's look was epic :D :D ... |

mora404 said: That was the thing that impressed me the most about this story. The issues addressed were all real, delivered in a believable manner, and even though in all cases except for Yuzuyu's mother something was done about them to turn things around, what did NOT happen was that "suddenly everything is all right". Life goes on, but it takes time to heal.I am glad that the ending didn't become cliche. The mother has some real issues that can not be solved in a short time. |
|
| I liked it a lot 8/10! I wished there was a bit more! It's good that they didn't fix everything in the end, Yuzu's mom still need her time, Kokoro didn't went to her house and started to have a normal family life, it was better this way :) Reiko was pretty awesome the whole time! |

bittersweetlove said: I think at this point there really is no going back for Kokoro. To me she wrote off her father after the exchange over the rose bushes (and in the same situation I probably would have gone apeshit, but then my father and I never got along anyway) and it was clear to me her father simply didn't have any room for Kokoro's memories of her mother. Kokoro is old enough to move on, she's found a family to be with anyway, and maybe after some years and she's healed herself she may be able to reconcile with her father.It's good that they didn't fix everything in the end, Yuzu's mom still need her time, Kokoro didn't went to her house and started to have a normal family life, it was better this way :) |
|
| Such a great anime. I wished they focused more on the Kippei/Yuzuyu/Kokoro relationship more. The ending was very warm but after reading the manga ending I kinda wished they used that one. It would've given the series much more closure. |

| I liked the ending. It would've felt rushed if they had her mom suddenly appear and pick her up. Life goes on. Her mother was still stuck and wasn't ready to look after Yuzuyu. I'm glad that they showed that part of her because it makes it realistic. |
 |
| It's sad they didn't ended this story in a happy ending with the mother reuniting with our Yuzuyu-chan! Although this is somewhat still a nice ending with Kippei and Kokoro getting really close and even with Yuzuyu all together! Even though the ending wasn't what I was hoping for it was still very nice! The anime in general was pretty lovely, the concept and development towards the end was pretty awesome, the relationship from Kippei with Yuzuyu and Kokoro was just amazing, I really loved the lovely kissing scenes from both of them, they sure expressed them in this anime very beautifully! In the end I really enjoyed watching this anime! Yuzuyu was moe-tastic and just seeing her overjoyed made myself happy! A very good anime in the end! 8/10 |
 |
| Like others said, it is heartwarming. Enjoyed it ^^ |
| Shoot. I'm the first one to make a negative comment. :/ This series was okay at the beginning but after a while, the kindergarten drama with Yuzuyu started to irritate me to the point where I was skipping any scenes with her in it. I only finished this show because of the decent romance going on between Kokoro and Kippei. I found that there was just way too much drama with Yuzuyu...She runs away so much. |
| Great to see Kippei maturing throughout the series... from a playboy who doesn't really care about others to a good parent and boyfriend. Not really satisfied with this kind of ending but it was still good for me. That bedroom scene with Kippei, Kokoro and Yuzuyu was so heartwarming. Loved it. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| Relaxing anime to watch. Good character development, but personality wise, Kokoro and satsuki are just is too dull and boring, like they have no emotions or have major problems expressing themselves. Overall, enjoyed it, but the ending disappointed me. Though it wasn't rushed at all, there was no closure and they just left the story hanging. 7/10 |

| even though i am a guy and this anime was put under the Shoujo (Girl) genre, i found this to be a really enjoyable and relaxing anime to watch. It was probably one of the few anime's that I have given a 10/10. So if I say that this is a good anime to watch, you should believe me and also give this one a good solid 10! |

| This show really kept up the momentum in these last few episodes, this was yet another heartwarming one. Although I'm a bit disappointed with how Yuzuyu's mom was just left as an open ended "when I stop crying..boo hoo!", I like how they used this ending to touch on the theme of loneliness and how Yuzuyu was coping with it. Not to mention seeing Kippei and Yuzuyu at the end felt just right. Yuzuyu managed to put a big smile on my face when she said that Kokoro and Kippei reminded her of a mom and dad. Well as for the rest of this series, I have very mixed thoughts on the journey. Generously setting aside the bottom budget production quality, Ai Baby felt mostly mediocre with some incredibly beautiful moments thrown in. It would have done this show a huge service to have focused more on what the past few episodes put out rather than random stalkers or emo girl with problems. As for the characters, most of them never really clicked for me save for Kokoro and Marika (because she was just that awesome). Yuzuyu is adorable but her seiyuu being a child felt like a drawback at times, such as with the fake crying. But with that all said, the heartwarming moments really grabbed me and were mostly satisfactory. Going to say a 6.5/10, a step above decent but the various problems it had made it a bit hard to swallow at times. |
 |
| This anime is extrremely underrated IMO and needs more fame! The perfect anime to watch if you're feeling down. 9/10! |
 |
| Hmmm ... that was surprising, I was waiting for how Kippe will deal with Yuzuu moms coming back and not taking care of her anymore. This series had huge potential, but the development of characters was quite week. Also, many of them are just plain boring or extra annoying. Overall 6/10 |

Hakaya said: This series had huge potential, but the development of characters was quite week.Overall 6/10 That is so true. I felt the same, I felt like the premise and possible plot development could have been so much more, but no the anime failed to execute and deliver. RANT Same as some other shoujos, like Special A that did not really know what it wanted to be. Did it execute anything well? No. Did it want to focus on the comedy aspect? No. I didn't laugh much. Did it want to be romantic? No. Heartwarming? No. Moe cuteness? No. The show did not deliver on any front, and coupled with a poor budget and animation, and this is what makes it fail. So then, what was this show, that failed to execute in so many regards? Aishiteruze Baby is a good example of an amalgamation of mildly sour tunes that just didn't come together well. |
| I love the series. It really does have a message in itself. :) |
| Tbh this was such a cute anime, I enjoyed it very much. <3 I'm new to anime & manga but now I feel compelled to read the manga version! |
