Daikichi is a 30-year-old man who lives alone. The story starts with his late grandfather's funeral where he meets a quiet girl named Rin. He soon discovers that she is the illegitimate daughter of his grandfather. Since Rin is 6-years-old the family meet to decide what will happen to her however, no one is willing to look after her as she is seen as a burden with shameful origins. Daikichi seems to be the only person who views Rin for who she is, a young girl who just lost her father. She lives with Daikichi and together they learn how tough it can be to juggle work, school and family. Together they form their own family. Essentially, a touching story of two unlikely kindred spirits that laugh, cry and learn together.
Pros:
- Kawaī!
- The characters are lovable and there is all-round character development
- Despite the complex situation the story is charmingly simple
- Beautiful art style
Cons:
- The anime is short (11 episodes)
Verdict:
This anime is beautiful. You can't help but feel happy and smile while watching it. At first I wished that there were more episodes but it comes to a satisfying conclusion so there really is not much need for anything else. The more you watch the more you love and learn about the characters. Regardless of the fact that it is a short anime all of the characters are well fleshed out. The skeptical become affectionate, and so will you if you are unsure if you should watch this or not. The innocent and care-free Rin is contrasted superbly with the knowledgeable and careful Daikichi. I normally do not watch the slice-of-life genre but this story is so beautiful even I, the action-adventure fan, fell in love. Embrace it!
YES YOU SHOULD WATCH USAGI DROP
