Story follows manga as it should, that I like the most.
Actors could have been better I think. One actor didnt do its job like it should have.
Music was performed greatly. One of the reasons I like the movie. because from manga I obviously couldnt hear it. But I must say it sounded different in my head. Still good though.
Now that I have seen the movie Im satisfied but i will stick with the manga and reread it if I feel like it.
Overall Its a really good movie. Worth watching. Especially when you have watched the anime or read the manga.

The Story goes even sadder and ends up making me cry in the end. Put the characters continue bonding through out the movie. You can see developing too.
As of acting I have to agree with many Hachis actress was better in the first movie. But luckily it dint ruin the movie.
Music was great listening to as always.
I myself wouldnt rewatch it but I think for a person who can take sad movies defenetly should.
Overall a great movie. Funny thing about it is that I would watch more of it if new movies came. Which is not gonna happen I know.

The Story is mesmeriezing ! First of all it felt longer then it actually is. There was always something happening through out the movie. And when it ended it made me feel so empty but so satisfied yet wanting for more. A better ending perhaps.
Acting was definetly good.
Music was super! Everytime I heard Glamorous Sky I litterally jumped in my seat out of joy yet sad tears came to my eyes.
Movie is definetly rewatchable. I dont know whereter or not I would rewatch it though. It was a really sad movie for me. Probably because I had grown so much for all the characters that i felt sad in the end of the movie. I was a kid back when i watched it and therefore more emotional.
Put together it was a marvoulus movie and worth in your list !

For those who would be interested in such a movie, I think you all come in many different styles and backgrounds. I think it would be easy for anyone to relate to these characters, because we have all in some way went through the same situations, whether in middle school, high school, college, or even after that. We all go through these strange feelings of feeling open towards people, falling in love, and not quite understanding ourselves and our feelings. This makes this movie very compatible with everyone, boy, girl, young or old. I also think, in my opinion, that this would be a great starter movie. A starter movie, as in, a movie to show someone or yourself to watch, if you have never watched Asian movies, and need to find something that you would like. This movie would help you understand the Japanese and well…Asian concept of love, and friendship, and help you be able to understand other movies, where these subtle but confusing (if you don’t understand the culture) situations and acts that happen in most Asian movies and dramas (romantic, school, friendship). Over all, like I said, this movie is amazing, made me cry, and laugh, and was very accurate to the original source (as good as it can be), and I recommend it to everyone, because in my opinion, everyone can relate to it.

A relationship between a 17 year old girl and a 35 year old guy seems creepy, and if not portrayed correctly it can go terribly wrong. However, this has to be one of the best student-teacher relationships that I have seen. They were very likable together and none of it seemed forced or stupid. Both the older guy and the younger girl had solid reasons to fall for someone so unexpected. I really liked their love. And I was touched by the girl. In the beginning, she is a bad girl. As in real bad- she works as a prostitute and bullies others. When it seemed like she hardly had any redeeming qualities, she changes completely. It's basically about character development which was the focus point of the story. The girl turns into a very nice and serious person. She stops fooling around, studies hard and changes her ways entirely.
The best thing about their relationship was that she changes a depressed, anti-social person to a happy and expressive person. And while she seems so mature in front of her friends, she acts exactly her age with her teacher. She is attracted to his serious side and he falls for her youthfulness. It was very sweet to watch them together.
Another good thing was that we get informed of the incoming "serious" problems beforehand in the first scene itself. I hate when things drop in on the viewer unexpectedly, out of nowhere! I would have liked to focus a bit more on how she became a bad girl because I found that rather interesting.
The movie has a fairly good star cast and I particularly liked the main actress. She was pretty and was able to act well. I also loved the clothes she wore throughout the film. She even made carrying umbrellas look trendy! She had a pretty magnetic personality. I was also happy with the direction of the film. It was not a well written screenplay and there were a lot of inconsistencies with the plot and pace. But that part gets compensated with good cinematography. Even the soundtrack is cool. I loved the songs they played in the background, plus they were in English so I will probably download the soundtrack later.
Anyway, the movie is overall a very nice effort from the director and writers. While it is not THE best, but it is still great and manages to get its point across to the viewer. It made good sense.
I will definitely rewatch it again when I feel like it.

While the story was nothing original, it is definitely enjoyable. It has a great cast and I particularly liked both the leads. The actress is likable and the guy was equally cute. Even though this movie is cheesy at its best, it is not corny. I loved the lead pair together. They had good chemistry. I was worried that I would get annoyed by the main girl but that didn't happen. I enjoyed every scene of hers. The actress is really good.
The comedy really had some great LOL moments. I was really laughing out loud. Its humor is the usual anime type humor we usually see in Jdramas. I enjoyed the progress of the movie and particularly the ending. The ending scene was cute and touching at the same time.
I have been watching very slow and boring movies lately, so this was refreshing to watch. It didn't drag that much and kept me hooked till the end. I wasn't at all bored and it was a very light watch. This movie can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. I can't find anything that I was displeased with in this film. This movie is quite predictable but it never seemed dull to me.
I would really recommend this movie. It is a much watch. It can definitely lift up your mood. And it has a great rewatch value. It's probably going to remain as one of my favorites.

What a heartwarming tale of a man coming of age and learning responsibility and what it means to become someone’s father, and how it can affect your life. Though this movie is based off an anime, and we don’t get to see the whole story, and how everything turns out in the end, we get a glimpse into this characters life and how in a short time, things can change you as a person. Though I have never seen this anime, I might watch it sometime. I think that this movie would give you a good introduction into the anime, since it was that good.
The characters in this drama, even though we only see them for 114 minutes, we get to know them, pretty well, and can see the emotion that they go through. Life as a single young man, raising a child , especially of the opposite sex, isn’t always the easiest thing. When you want to become independent, and do everything on your own, throwing a child into that mix, can sometimes, or most times, tempt you to lean on someone, which is fine. But for those who want to become independent adults, holding your ground and growing up with your child can be very rewarding. Daikichi (Matsuyama Kenichi) learns that becoming a parent isn’t as easy as it seems, and that raising a child, can come with some downfalls, and a lot of rewards. He can truly understand the difficulty that his parents went through raising him and his sister, therefore realizing how precious and amazing a parent really is to someone.
The acting in this drama was good, especially since its more of a dramatic story than a comedy, though there are parts that will make you laugh, or make smile come across your face. I have never seen Matsuyama Kenichi in a movie or drama before, but I am pretty pleased with his acting ability. He could be serious and serious can come, and show heartbreaking emotion, and yet he could be funny, which I really liked. Ashida Mana shows great potential to become a very good actress when she grows up, she is really good now, and I can’t wait to see her in the future, and in more dramas because she can show her emotions and says dialogue well, which isn’t always the case with child actors and actresses.
I still don’t know why it is called Usagi Drop (Bunny Drop), but it doesn’t really worry me, since this movie doesn’t show the true whole story of the anime, and drama , which means I will have to either read or watch those to be able to fully understand the title. Overall I found this movie to be very heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. The story of a single “father” really compels me to show my emotions, single mothers as well, and really gets under your skin and embraces you with a lot of thoughts and emotions because even in the western world , life as a single parents isn’t always as glamorous or even as disturbing as we make it out to be (16 and pregnant). So I give this movie a high score for being able to portray something like this, so beautifully and emotionally. I think this movie/anime/manga deserves a whole live action drama series because it is very interesting, and I think it would make for a good contrast for what is usually popular in Asian dramas right now. So a I recommend that you take 114 minutes out of your day, you have a 1440 in a day, and watch this movie, and actually see what I mean. It doesn’t really have any romance, but it leaves you with a greater message about family and coming of age, and will touch your heartstrings, even just a little.

I don't get why some Japanese dramas and films have such weird female characters. It is too fictional to take in. Also, what I find funny in such scenarios is that the girl comes off as thick because she lets herself slip further down than just coming up with the idea of making a very few changes to herself. This idea is laughable and I am never going to watch a drama or movie again with this particular ridiculous plot. This was one of the downsides to the movie. Also, I found the pacing very slow and the movie too long.
Other than that, the characters were funny and all the actors acted well. I don't know these actors, so I don't have much to say about them. While the plot of friendship is the main thing here, there are some romantic elements as well. I am slowly getting used to the fact that Japanese dramas and movies only include romance as a sub-plot than as the main plot. This is yet another one.
It seemed heavily borrowed from Nobuta wo Produce. I still prefer that because the main girl was more adorable in it. In this, Sawako's character seemed dull to me. But I couldn't helping noticing how gorgeous her hair was. Really! Anyway, this movie was lacking excitement in a lot of parts. I would have loved it more if it had remained funny till the end.
Still, this makes for a good one-time watch. It is a light film so it is good to watch at any time. I would definitely recommend this to be watched at least once.

the story concept is similar to secret garden but the movie's attempt to balance comedy and drama is painful to watch. there were way too many times where the scene changed, the mood changed, or a random act occurred with no prep (music, a comment, foreshadowing, anything). It felt like the story was chopped into bits, so the characters would be discussing a matter, then the scene changes to the next day. this led to constant questions of: what happened to the issue at hand? was it resolved? who gave in?.
on top of the story line confusion, the acting was inconsistent. sometimes the male lead would act like such a man that i had to wonder, oh did they switch back? i blame some of this on the writers they didn't give us enough time to know the characters before they switched.
amid the wreckage there were some bright spots; shots of comedy were pretty well placed throughout. so if the movie was getting awful a shot of comedy would draw you back with false hopes of it getting better. they did a lot of parodies (even secret garden)so those were really funny.
i wouldn't watch again, and if you love the concept I suggest you watch secret garden a 3rd time. Overall it had a great general concept, poor writing and poor execution. i gave it a 6 because they tried to capture that "secret garden magic" but didnt have enough time and the ending is waaaay better than secret garden.
p.s. i loathe group songs where the whole world is singing. beware
