Based on a manga, I just watched Usagi Drop<\/i> (or Bunny Drop<\/i> if you’ve got a Viki movie pass<\/a>) and it was adorable. Featuring the guy that played L in the live action Death Note<\/a><\/i>, and the little girl that played young Mako in Pacific Rim<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

\"Usagi<\/p>\n

Daikichi (Kenichi Matsuyama) is a 27-year-old office worker that goes home for his grandfather’s funeral, only to find out that his grandfather has a 6-year-old daughter Rin (Mana Ashida) that no one in the family wants to take in. After listening to the older members of his family coldly discuss dropping the girl off at an institution, Daikichi steps up and takes her home with him.<\/p>\n

It’s a hard road, but he finds love in his life as he takes care of Rin. He’s still kind of a weird guy, but it’s adorable how he becomes a father — or a “Daikichi!” — to a little girl that doesn’t have anyone else.<\/p>\n

Based on the manga “Usagi Drop<\/a><\/i>” by Yumi Unita.<\/p>\n

This movie was adorably uplifting. They’re two people that don’t have anyone else, but find happiness with each other. Daikichi didn’t even realize how empty his life of work and play was until he had Rin there with him, counting on him to take care of her. He may have spoken up before he’d thought about it, but he really stepped up with the responsibility and the love. As a result, Rin goes from being a solemn child that’s constantly afraid of being left behind, to smiling and laughing as she knows Daikichi will always be there for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
