About Michiko & Hatchin

Meet Michiko & Hatchin (ミチコとハッチン), an action and adventure anime by Manglobe (2008). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: 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.

Soon after, 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.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Hana Morenos (Suzuka Oogo) and Michiko Malandro (Youko Maki) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 22 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
