Michiko to Hatchin Final Thoughts

General Summary:

Hana Morenos is an adopted girl who lives with her abusive foster family, and has lost any hope of gaining her freedom. The family receives a strange call from a lady who claims to be Hana’s mother, saying that she will pick her up the following day. The lady turns out to be Michiko Malandros, a feisty and sexy inmate who successfully escaped from the supposedly “inescapable” Diamandra Prison. After forcefully freeing Hana from the household, the two embark on a perilous journey to track down a man who is deeply embedded into their past.

My Thoughts:

I'm not sure how I stumbled on this amazing story four years back but I'm glad I did. Produced by the makers of Samurai Champloo, Michiko to Hatchin is something you should put on your To Watch list. The art work has a nice South American mix to it and the action and drama pull you. The ending for the show was perfect!

Samurai Champloo Final Thoughts

General Summary:

This show follows the journey of Mugen, Jin, Fuu. Fuu saved Mugen and Jin from being executed for inadvertently killing a crooked officer's son, by fighting in a tea shop. To pay back Fuu, Jin and Mugen have to help her find "the samurai who smells of sunflowers". During their travels they meet some very interesting people, and find themselves in strange situations.

My Thoughts:

I love this anime. The story was created by the same guys who did Cowboy Bebop and they did a fantastic job of mixing the Edo period with modern hip hop. I became fans of a lot of great artist through this anime such as: Tsutchie, Nujabes, Fat Jon, FORCE OF NATURE, MINMI, and many others. The action scenes are top notch with a nice hip hop flow to them. At times I wish the show was a bit longer.
