Usagi Drop is basically a young man's struggle with parenthood and the thing is—he's not taking care of his own child, but his grandpa's. The chemistry between Matsuyama Kenichi and Ashida Mana is surprisingly good especially in the scenes where Daikichi (Kenichi) shows his concern for Rin (Mana). It's like they have this real but hidden connection. However, the thing is, Kenichi ends up looking like an older brother to Mana for a reason I can't explain and Mana wasn't able to show this kind of aura of maturity that Rin was giving off in the anime or in the manga. Well, as for the music, the music is very exceptional and fits right into the scenes. However, I do think that a long time will pass before I rewatch Usagi Drop (up to the point that I have forgotten some parts of it). No doubt, Usagi Drop is indeed a lighthearted feel good movie to me.
