    Michiko e Hatchin



    "The title's Michiko is a free-willed "sexy diva" who destroys a supposedly inescapable prison fortress, while Hatchin is a girl fleeing her strict foster parents. The two join forces on an improbable escape to freedom." -ANN

    Episode 1 - BSS





    - - - - - - - -


    This series looked quite promising, though I didn't honestly beforehand know what to expect. Still, the director was involved in Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy, which definitely is good in my book. Anyway, this episode didn't yet fully convince me, but the main character (the older one) seems to have lots of attitude, at least. The younger one was pissing me off, though, despite the fact I liked Hugo's Les Miserables well enough (to which this episode owes a lot). I'll keep watching, for now that the misery in this background ep is finished, it could get really interesting, in a road movie fashion.

    Those adoptive parents and siblings are so cruel, but that main character is one bad bitch. I wonder what her relationship to the girl is.

    I was thinking she might really be her mom. She had her baby picture while she was making the call.

    Just watched the first episode, awesome stuff so far.

    I don't think she's the mother... I bet the real mother died and as a dying wish tasked Michiko to take care of her or something.

    That could very well be the case unless they wanted to make a special ruthless point by having her not recognize her own daughter. Not too unrealistic a case but in fiction not so common perhaps.

The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

    Well, just from my impressions from the first couple of minutes... the sudo version seemed better.

    well, I watched the first episode.

    The opening reminded me a lot of cowboy bebops opening, which in stead of seeming cool, it just kinda came off as like "oh, they're just trying to make it seem like bebop because bebop is so popular", but nothing other than the opening was seemed that way.

    I didn't know what to think of the Catholic South American family. At first I thought it was kinda Japanese people portraying South America in a poor sense, but after watching it more I just got the feeling they were trying to be negative to Catholics. I did really enjoy when she started punching the girl, but I don't get how she was able to go back home?

    I thought Michiko's HD CGI lips were pretty funny. I noticed them like almost instantly and I was like "lol, those look funny." but if I didn't just focus on them, they seemed to look good on her. and I'm glad I didn't wait for an sd version, and went with the hd (not because of the lips though), just because it all looked so good, I'd hate to watch this series in sd. the animation was excellent.

    now that they've established the grounds for the series, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

    I didn't understand this either. The only thing I can think of is when she did go back, the family didn't say a word to her or try to put their hands on her because they knew the woman was coming. But the girl seemed distraught enough to leave permanently when she escaped in the first place. The family was lucky she stayed, at any rate, instead of trying to explain to super hot bad ass psycho bitch why they lost her daughter, or whatever relationship they have.

    I think that maybe non of that happened... she never attacked her sister or anything. It was all in her head. Though we're led to believe that the only thing she was imagining was the dude that came to pick her up, but it might've been the whole sequence of events.

    The sister seems quite fine and healthy on the table.
