Michiko to Hatchin ミチコとハッチン

Michiko to Hatchin is a fairly new anime which started airing in October 2008 with the 22nd episode marking it's end in March 2009.  What can I say---all things must run there course---OK seriously what did i think of this anime.  Nothing much really---I watched all 22 episodes and after which I will say this Michiko to Hatchin isn't going to be an anime MUST see.  But if you do watch it----i truly believe you will complete it and that you will enjoy it.

It is a pretty entertaining anime and the fact that the lead characters and the scenery gives it a latino kind of feel makes it a breath of fresh air and I personally liked this anime.  The storyline was pretty simple and straightforward in that Michiko Malandro (the sexy diva) and Hana Morenos both share a need to escape the life they are living.  This need to escape and the tattoo they both have on their stomachs creates a bond and the fuel that keeps them moving forward is the desire to find Hana's dad & Michiko's last lover, Hiroshi Morenos.  This journey reveals some interesting social issues---child trafficking, child abuse and gang warfare and I must admit I don't recall being BORED watching this anime.  Each episode was full of jokes and craziness and lots of action and if my opinion isn't enticing enough watch the trailer or at least the first episode!!!!!!
