And lo an episode ended, and those words came up, ‘a continuar…’
Last week was a primarily Hatchin-centric episode. This one was Michiko-centric. But it was also a sad little story in its own right. One that dragged us down to street level, where stuff is bloody horrible. A real return to the misery diary style [...]

In relatively recent times certain gentlemen of the blogging persuasion have turned their minds to the question of studio identities. Now, having just dropped Gainax’s increasingly mediocre Shikabane Hime adaptation, and knowing my inability to describe Manglobe’s Michiko to Hatchin without recourse to hyperbole, it seems obvious to turn (for a current example of studio-identity-in-action) [...]

Well, almost two weeks have gone by since my last post, and in that time we’ve seen the release of two more episodes of Michiko to Hatchin, a strong indication that Manglobe intends to release the series weekly as often as it can. I don’t know for sure what exactly caused the delay of [...]

The duo books a hotel room at Hotel Venus in Saint Cabal, and Michiko makes a point of visiting an oracle. It seems like a scam, but Michiko still buys a lucky Forsa Fedra stone for Hatchin and some of God’s clipped nails for special powers. The old woman also prophesizes that Hatchin’s [...]

For its third episode Michiko to Hatchin opts for a degree of variation alongside certain constants.
What’s constant is the focus on that core relationship, Michiko coming to the rescue in the nick of time, and the subsequent flaunting of her lack of gun fear. What’s variant is the move away from roadtripping and into life [...]

Summary:
12 years ago in Vermelha, Michiko was arrested for supposedly being part of the Fantasma crime syndicate. The sergeant in charge of the capture is Michiko’s childhood rival Atsuko Jackson, whom Michiko calls “Jumbo” (per Atsuko’s huge afro).

A rather longish list is up on Heterochromia. Sasa is behind on most shows, but for me it’s not a problem. I’ve just finished Toradora 03 yesterday too. I love it when people make an effort to summarize the shows briefly, even when we strongly disagree (e.g. Sasa is into yuri in general).
