Usagi Drop

I wasn't expecting the family to be won over already... specially after their attitude on the 1st episode. Rin is just too adorable.

[MFauli]

Another great episode. I liked that Daikichi instantly told his family members at the table why Rin-chan was acting so shy in front of them. Though I also think that it´s a bit weird how the family seems to be all good with Rin now. After all, they´re putting all the stress on Daikichi.

I *love* this show.

I can't wait to see what happens when they confront her mother directly.

[animus]

I guess it makes more sense now that the mother just dropped Rin off with Daikichi's grandfather. She probably offered to work and have her pay as staying as a resident in his place. It probably was for a few years when Rin was still young so she probably couldn't remember/associate the maid as the mother. But then again this is all still theory, and the grandfather could still be the baby daddy.

That makes sense, but what I couldn't make sense of was why the maid was being so angry with Rin.

Unwanted pregnancy, lacking maternal instincts, the baby getting in the way of her other life?

[fireheart]

Isn't it har to say? I mean she might just be a grumpy person and seeing Daikichi said that children automatically think they're being scolded it's not impossible to see how Rin might think she hates her.

HorribleSubs - Episode 04

[RyougaZell]

Wait wait wait... did we get some kind of timeskip?

[KrayZ33]

so far there have always been small timeskips.
"I only met Rin 3 months ago" is what he said in this episode


this show has become my all-time favorite btw.

[Buffalobiian]

Wow, that Masako lady looked like some quiet, misunderstood lady from the flashback shots (which conveniently weren't actually anybody's flashbacks, so they can't be used as facts), but she sounds like some 16-year old on the phone.

Can't wait to meet her to see what her deal is.

[MFauli]

"IF" that was really THE Masako on the phone, my impression would be a rather negative one. She sounded really carefree in her short reply. Of course, my guess is that it isn´t her, but a relative, maybe another, older daughter or such.

Also, the Masako in the flashback had black hair. I guess Daikichi´s grandpa isn´t the real dad.

[HorribleSubs] Usagi Drop - 05 [720p]

[Kraco]

It's a pretty valid question that who is the one having the final word in that family...

I got the feeling Daikichi was really ready to become Rin's official father, but at least Rin's simple statement after the refusal seemed to move him enough. Even if he still isn't anything but Daikichi (whatever that means).

Maaya Sakamoto did good work voicing Rin's biological mom. She has aced quite a few psychologically ambiguous roles before (Shiki of Kara no Kyoukai, Rip van Winkle of Hellsing, Alphard of Canaan, to mention a few), so in that sense it was to be expected.

[Lucifus]

My god, I don't think I've ever adored anything like this before. She's so adorable! xD

I facking want one!

[animus]

Well I guess it's confirmed that the mother is useless. Rather even more pathetic and useless than I figured in the first place.

That makes us all the happier Rin ended up with Daikichi and not her.

I don't think anybody does, which is a good thing considering how they were treating Rin before, with the exception of Daikichi.

I got the feeling Daikichi was really ready to become Rin's official father, but at least Rin's simple statement after the refusal seemed to move him enough. Even if he still isn't anything but Daikichi (whatever that means).

That means she accepts him for what he is at the moment, which is pretty much a father in all but name.

After hearing the extended phone call at the beginning of the episode, I was sure the mother was retarded. I don't think I'm that far off..

[MFauli]

Well, what we can conclude from this episode is that mangaka are horrible parents. Lol, damn, I´d love to punch that bitch in the face.

Only thing that bothered me, though, was the bathing scene. Is it really okay to bath together with a 7 year old (she´s 7, right?) that´s not your own kid? Don´t know, felt strange. Other than that, best show only rivaled by Kaiji 2nd season.

I think the Japanese are pretty alright with this. The stuff about (s)kinship by bathing together isn't an anime-lolicon thing (only).
