These four little specials are so cute. At five minutes each they're a perfect filler between episodes. Usagi Drop has been named as a slice of life anime, well these little shorts are like a slice out of that first slice of life! I think these episodes followed on beautifully from the parent anime, the sound and the style seemed the same to me, as did the characters. Of course in five minutes you can't always expect the same character development from what you get from something twenty minutes long. Although I would have loved to have seen something like the Episode 3.5 "Dear My Santa Claus"developed into a longer Christmas Special it was still really beautiful. But at the same time those Christmas Specials are done by everyone these days so in a way it was probably best they kept it short and sweet and only showed another reference of the care, respect and love Rin and Daikichi have for one another and how they react to another new event in their new relationship. I'm going to end my review by mentioning that making these short episodes was a much better idea than trying to condense these extra scenes into the parent anime and I'd definitely watch them again and again, just like I will the main Usagi Drop episodes.

Usagi Drop is one of the best slice of life animes around. It depicts the relationship between a foster parent and daughter accurately while tellling an entertaining and in depth story. These four short specials complement the series, providing some extra content to fit in between some of the episodes. At five minutes per special, there isn't much time given to develop an in-depth story. Instead, the focus of each special is on a certain event or moment in Rin's life, for example; leaf collecting. Each special manages to capture the essence of the parent series. While they're short, they're exactly what you would expect afterwatching Usagi Drop. Rin and Daikichi's relationship is still at the center of the show. The comedy is still there, but so are the beautiful touching moments that fans of Usagi Drop have grown used to seeing. If you enjoyed the parent series, then these will please you. The visuals, soundtrack and voice acting are the same as before and the quality is just as high. The only negative is that there isn't any sign that there will be any future specials like these. After you finish the parent series, definitely watch these.
