Haha, I guess you all were wondering where this review went.
"Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai!"(Listen to your father!)
Well well, what do we have here, an unusual family-orientated anime from the producers of feel. Yes, very odd, because that company is very known for... ahem. 'Decent' animes. (Yosuga no Sora, KissxSis Mayo Chiki...)
But forget I said all that, let's carry on!
University life (Lol I'm also in university, hope this doesn't happen to me.) for Yuuta Segawa starts off with a romantic start as he enrolls in the School of Literature at Tama University. She gets attracted to his senior Oda Raika, of whom she and Yuuta's best friend Kouichi Nimura are members of the street observation research society. (Wtf? Who ever though of such an external activity?)
Anyway, life proceeds as per normal for Yuuta, until the day when his newly-wed sister, Yuri Takanashi, decides to leave Japan to celebrate her honeymoon with her new husband, Shingo Takanashi. She then leaves her three girls in the care of Yuuta while they are away. Weirdly, all three girls have come from different families before.
And who are these three girls?
Well, firstly, we have Sora Takansahi, who is the eldest of the three at 14, and is TSUNDERE. Yes, though she is tsundere, but she has a crush on Yuuta, (though he is her uncle) and often gets mixed up in super random & sudden lucky (SRSLY?) ecchi scenes. (WOAH at the end of episode 1) Her mother passed away when she was very small.
Secondly, we have Miu Takanashi, of whom is 10 years of age, but acts extremely mature (at most times). She has a spontaneous personality and has blonder hair inherited from her russian mother, of whom divorced Shingo.
Thirdly, we have the youngest and cutest Hina Takanashi! The daughter of Yuri, she is only 3 years old, and acts all innocent! She is very friendly to anyone she meets, and most of the time, mispronounces words.
They spend one day with Takanashi at their house, and have a very enjoyable time together. Smelled something fishy by now? Why spend a short time with these children if the whole anime is about these 4?
Well, the plot starts developing when Yuri and Shingo's flight, uneventfully, crashes, and the two are nowhere to be found (DEAD). A funeral is held of which the three girl's families all want to take back the children, separating them. Yuuta, who has lived through that phase in his own lives before, was outraged, and decided to take these these three girls under his care.
Running away with the 3 girls, he escapes to his university apartment, and finds that he now faces the reality of being a father.
As the anime progresses, Yuuta discovers a lot of things about raising kids, firstly, its EXPENSIVE, getting them to love you needs a lot of effort, and that just being there for them is enough.
The secondary characters in this anime, the members of the street observation society, are pretty much the best friends you can have at life, helping Yuuta out at the most difficult times, and so are the members of the community.
At the very end, it was trying to get the girls to be willing to accept Yuuta as their father. A very nice ending indeed.
The sad part is that Shingo and Yuri definitely passed away.
This anime is VERY similar to Usagi Drop, the main theme of raising children and learning from scratch as a guardian. i find these animes very heartwarming, as well as having a good educational standpoint (For us who don't know much about parenting)
There really isn't a plot in this anime, but who needs one here? the only main plot discussed, the parents disappearing and Yuuta raising kids, is enough.
Heartwarming indeed, the theme is VERY well displayed, featuring the ups and downs of taking car of children and being a family. Other themes also attributed are also that communities are also family, and that a family need not be blood related.
Atmosphere-wise, it is unfortunately ECCHI. Unlike Usagi Drop, it has a ton of ecchi scenes which I can't describe (SRSLY?). That's the only sad thing though. Besides that I guess its a decent anime.
Ecchi aside, this anime is really awesome. It has a lot of themes going on and though I've seen it before, was very interesting in a lot of ways. Recommended!
Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai! premiered on January 11, 2012 and ended on March 27, 2012 with26 EPISODES 12 episodes with a special. It was fansubbed by rori, Doki, Pettanko, Shin-S, Hatsuyuki, Oyatsu, and is available on Simulcast on Crunchyroll.
Hint: Another late review.
