Suprisingly Decent.

Considering the concept behind Usagi Drop, I must say this anime took me by complete surprise. Why? Because simply put, I'm enjoying it. The artwork is utterly unique yet works tremendously well with the storyline - which whilst perhaps flawed at times, is still relatively good. The character cast is small, yet the touching, emotionally raw connection shared between them is what makes this anime so enjoyable. The perfectly crafted comedic moments slotted brilliantly alongside the serious, real issues discussed within, speaks volumes about just how well made this anime is. To be able to convey an issue which is very much present within modern society, whilst simultaneously creating a light-hearted, extremely relaxing and pleasant atmosphere is by no means an easy feat. The entertainment, whilst not vivacious action, is still pretty damn good. Only six episodes in and I must admit, it has me completely hooked. It's just quite simply, a beautifully constructed piece of work which I absolutely would not hesitate in recommending. It won't be for everyone, that much is obvious, however to those with an attention span and a general like towards emotional shows, this anime is remarkable. Relaxing, funny, entertaining; there's not really much more you could want. So, what are you waiting for?
