About Michiko & Hatchin

Here is what Michiko & Hatchin (ミチコとハッチン) is about, retold in plain terms: an action and adventure anime by Manglobe (2008). In short: After escaping from prison, the criminal Michiko rescues an abused girl known as Hatchin. The two are about as opposite as they come, but their fates become intertwined through the connection of a man from both their pasts.

Further in, on the run from the police and Hatchin's abusive foster parents, the unlikely duo set out to find this man and ultimately discover their freedom.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Suzuka Oogo as Hana Morenos and Youko Maki as Michiko Malandro. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 22 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
