Live action movie Usagi Drop

While I'm looking forward to see the live action movie Gantz at the Camera Japan festival in NL, I found out about another live action movie that will premier during the festival: Usagi Drop (or Bunny Drop). Another must-see at the festival.

Usagi Drop is a josei manga/anime about a thirty year old man, Daikichi, and he goes to the funeral of his grandfather. That day he finds out that grandfather has an illegitimate six year old daughter, abandoned by her mom. Now nobody wants to take care of the little girl, Rin, and she's treated as an outcast in the family. So Daikichi decides to be her guardian, even though he doesn't know anything about taking care of little children. This happening changes his life completely.

I'm watching the anime now, and I really love it. Rin is sooo cute! It's a josei anime/manga, so it's a mature story, which is quiet, touching and beautiful.



Now there has been made a movie about it, starring Kenichi Matsuyama. Yup, that guy who is also the leading star in Gantz. If the movie is as beautiful as the anime, I'll definitely have to bring a big box of tissues to the festival.



Usagi Drop/Bunny Drop, the movie, will be shown on the 23th and 24th of September at Lantarenvenster in Rotterdam and on the 30th at Kriterion in Amsterdam. Check out the whole schedule of Camera Japan at camerajapan.nl.
