Please follow along with me as I go through my final countdown for this “Anime Year in Review” series. So far I’ve focused on characters, but now I will focus on the shows themselves. I present to you what, in my view, where the Ten Best Anime Shows of 2011! Continue reading “Top 10 Anime Shows of 2011.”
Usagi Drop, episode 11: Normal People
Apologies for the lateness. The last few weeks of school orientation have been insanely busy, plus I came down with a cold which has not helped things at all.

Usagi Drop, episode 10: Playing hero
If 30-sai was a manual for 30-year old virgins, Usagi Drop is sort of like a manual for 30-year old fathers… of toddlers I suppose… which provides some good advice.

Usagi Drop, episode 9: The forgotten son
Usagi Drop hasn’t put too much focus on Kouki so far. I actually was pretty ok with this, because I thought Kouki comes off more bratty than mischievous in the manga. And while he’s still a bit of a ragamuffin, the anime does a lot better job at giving him more depth and making him more likeable.

Usagi Drop, episode 4: What are moms for
Nothing in particular seems to really happen in each episode of Usagi Drop, but then you look back and realize the kids are growing up so quickly.

Usagi Drop, episode 3: Becoming family
There were so many lovable Rin moments this episode. I just like sitting back and watching Usagi Drop unfold. It just brings a smile to my face.
