OriginalRen Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Started watching an anime called Usagi Drop for my anime group, and while the plot of the show isn't anything special, I think it's a pretty heartfelt story about the father/daughter relationship and growing up. I am not a lolicon. I would like to state that beforehand, but Rin is, well, how do I put this... The most adorable fucking thing ever to exist anywhere ever. That is all. Quote
Flutterz Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I am not a lolicon. Keep telling yourself that. Tenkuru, AMMSY and MDruidd 3 Quote
Vemocleus Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 You should read the manga, continues right after the show with a time gap of 10 years. The ending is very... VERY... weird. Quote
Tenkuru Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Usagi Drop has been on my backlog for so long now, but I was just not in the mood for it. I should probably pick it up some time soon when I have the time. Quote
Narcosis Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Great show for the fans of realistic, slice of life stories. I'm also keeping the manga on my backlog; hopefully, I'll be able to grab it soon, since the anime end didn't gave me a peace of mind. Quote
Nosebleed Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Usagi Drop is a great show that should be looked up past the loli part, it really is a heart warming tale that anyone can enjoy. Although Rin is cute regardless, but there's much more to the show than that. I am not a lolicon. I would like to state that beforehand ExiledSaber 1 Quote

If you're looking for peace of mind, the manga is probably something to avoid. If you want to keep seeing this story as the cute and heartwarming tale as it is in the show, just leave it be and remain blissfully ignorant. Quote
crunchytaco Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I opened this thread and expected a joke with a punchline about Lolis. Quote

Nosebleed Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Did you bury her alive? Not sure if serious question or sarcasm. Quote
Flutterz Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Not sure if serious question or sarcasm. Well if you have a girlfriend but she's so far underground that nobody can see her, the obvious conclusion is that she's buried alive. Kappa Quote
Nosebleed Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Well if you have a girlfriend but she's so far underground that nobody can see her, the obvious conclusion is that she's buried alive. Kappa Well the joke is regarding the anime that picture comes from. It's from AnoHana. I hope you've seen it, if not then the joke will have 0 effect Quote
ExiledSaber Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Well if you have a girlfriend but she's so far underground that nobody can see her, the obvious conclusion is that she's buried alive. Kappa OR sealed off in a window less room. Quote

I hope you've seen it, if not then the joke will have 0 effect Nosebleed plz It's a pun And I have seen Anohana OR sealed off in a window less room. Well if you take "can't see her" to literally mean it's impossible to see her because she's underground, being stuck in an unreachable room underground is almost as bad as being buried alive. Quote
Nosebleed Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Nosebleed plz It's a pun And I have seen Anohana I know that it was a pun. I was just hoping someone would get it. Because you know, Menma's dead and burried, hence the underground pun correlation with the hipsterness. Maybe I tried too hard. Quote
crunchytaco Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 *flies away* I completely forgot that came from AnoHana. I get the Hipster reference, but thought you were correlating that with Loli's being midgets. Quote
babiker Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 The conclusion of this thread: making forum jokes is a hard job. Quote
Flutterz Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 The conclusion of this thread: making forum jokes is a hard job. Wait, people get paid to do that? Now I feel ripped off. Quote

Cofee Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Too bad manga ending wasn't adapted so people could see how much of awesome father MC has become. Quote
Down Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Pretty sure the title didn't have "loli" in it at first, did it? I kinda get the feeling that Ren has here. "Loli" has a very strong sexual connotation to it. As a consequence of that when you have characters that are cute, you kinda feel obligated to mention it's "not really loli" or something of the sort. The trend that's been going on in anime and that associates cuteness and childishness to the image of the women and sexualization has this effect of making you feel weird when you have a character like that. Anyway I should go watch Usagi Drop when I'm in need of slice of life again. Quote
