Hatchin is a girl living with foster parents who use her to get money from foster care and spends the money on luxury items for themselves, instead of using it for Hatchin. Not the mention the very abusive step sister and step brother, who makes her life a living hell each and every day while doing the house chores.
After Michiko escapes from prison what is the first thing she does? Rob a bank of course well that would be the second thing since the first thing she did when she got into town was steal some food from a old man. Michiko uses the money she got from the bank robbery to pimp herself out and buy a Vespa scooter.
She makes a couple of phone calls one of them is to the house where Hatchin lives. Hatchin’s foster mother picks up the phone and is told strait off the bat by Michiko that she would be coming to come pickup her child the very next day. Can it be that Michiko is Hatchin’s real mother or is there some other motive for her coming to pickup her up?
Now being the greedy step parents that they are they of course think that Michiko is only after the church’s humor and the money that they get from child welfare, greedy ****. But in fact that’s far from the truth though we still haven’t actually found out the reason for Muchiko’s actions. In any case the good old church folk decide to arm and prepared themselves for what is about to happen.
Unfortunately for the holy man and his church shotgun he did not expect Michiko too be coming through the living room window on her Vespa scooter. It also seems he was not well versed in the art of using one of dem shotguns properly which only added the chaos that ensued. And Hatchin finally got her wish as someone came to rescue her from the hell she was living in. And so Michiko & Hatchin’s adventure begins.
Eh I did not honestly expect to enjoy the first episode as much as I did, I think it comes down to the animation style and the music. It is still early days to be judging the show on the story since its only the first episode. So I will definitely be following this series for a couple of episodes to see how it turns out, as it has me very intrigued thus far.
If you enjoyed shows like Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop and Ergo Proxy then I suggest you give this show a try as it contains the very same elements that made those shows fun and enjoyable to watch. Not to mention the great art work and musical score that makes up this show.
On a side note I haven’t seem something as disturbing as the way Hatchin’s step sister and step brother bullied and abused her. Well not since Elfen Lied when the kids killed the little dog that Lucy found, and she exacts her revenge on them after wards. It really got my **** blood boiling the way she got treated by her step parents and siblings.
Although there is always the possibility of me being incorrect.
