Usagi Drop - I agree. I was browsing 4ch, and someone decided to post the last few pages of the last chapter. I was frozen for about a minute, the whole show flashed before my eyes, then I looked at what was in front of me, and tears were shed.

But if they follow the novel closely, it would be a fantastic anime, since the novel cannot really illustrate the actions and fights so much so u can really see them. If those are put into action, what more can you ask for!?!?
It's being done by this company. From what I've gathered online, the list of what they have done makes be doubt much fan service if any.

Well, didn't really follow their animes much, the only two i watched were kuroshitsuji and book of bantorra. Kuroshitsuji had a different ending I think? Not sure about book of bantorra, as I never read the novel, but the first arc was quite good.

Hopefully they can bring the essence of Ben-to out!

No offense, but Usagi Drop the manga ending is rather unacceptable to me... So I think Usagi drop should end right there and then, its better that way.
Spoiler! :
After a certain chapter, there was a sudden 10 year jump or something. Then it talks about her being grown up, with relationship problems, eventually developing feelings for her "father" and ended that her "father" is not related to her in any way, and that they can be together, but he needs time to switch from "daughter" mode to "gf/wife" mode.

It ended that way.

What's Bento's development like? I mean, I read the plot, but I didn't read the volumes.

Well, here are two previews for Ben-to.

I hate to say it, but from those previews, fan service is probably likely, but hopefully very light. (Also, I watched them without listening to anything because I'm too lazy.)

The second PV kinda explains it. Supply VS Demand. Poor students need the half-price bentos, same as some others, and fight for them. Some find joy in the fighting, some find food, each finding their own goals.

The previews are quite close to the novel, and the main female lead, the Ice Witch, is too pure to give fanservice.

The most service in the novel is the protagonist...
Spoiler! :
He ran in his school in his underwear once, in his cousin's school naked another time, and he went into nature shouting "Can't you feel the nature!?!?" while naked without realizing it once.

These led to his first title, "Hentai", or Pervert in short.

Well, J.C. already broke their creed by creating a 4th season, so obviously they can do whatever they want.

No one said that it would be 13 episodes strictly. We could also get a movie, OVAs, etc. The sky is the limit here.

Got the good version. Though I think sankarea is lacking; it's not the final version.
