======================================================================

First time I hit enter by accident ... -slaps self- Should be done in 5-10 minutes.

Alright, I want to talk about this. The first thing I noticed about the picture is the adult guy and the little girl. It quickly sparked in my mind that this is going to be one fucking awesome series. There are few series that have similar genre to Usagi Drop. One of them is Asatte no Houkou (AniDB) and it is very similar to it with some magical stuff involved. I love shows like this. And it's also done by Production I.G. and we all know how good Production I.G. is.

Going to go and update the Asatte no Houkou thread. It's pretty outdated. Done.

cptjanvier:
I really liked the first part of the manga, it was a sweet story. I wonder how many eps there will be, the manga is finished (but licensed).

newy:
Either until the end of volume 4 or, for a surprise for once, to the end. The problem with the manga is that the official translations are really slow, but the scanlations are not fast either...

harpy:
I hope it will be something like Aishiteruze Baby, really like that anime, this one sounds a bit similar to it
