Michiko & Hatchin ( jap. ミチコとハッチン , Michiko to Hatchin ) is an anime - television series from the studio Manglobe emitted since October 15, 2008 at the Japanese television. She tells the story of Michiko, who has just broken out of prison, who snatches the girl Hatchin from the clutches of the corrupt family of her adoptive father and pastor and goes on the run with her.
action
In a fictional country modeled on Brazil , the orphan Michiko Malandro ( ミ チ コ ・ マ ラ ン ド ロ ) grows up in a children's home . However, the home manager is only interested in the money for the accommodation and sells the children to the highest bidder. Michiko and her friend Atsuko Jackson ( ア ツ コ ・ ジ ャ キ ソ ン ) grow up in this home. Barely old enough to be able to leave home, she meets Hiroshi Morenos ( ヒ ロ シ ・ モ レ ー ノ ス ), who is a friend of the crook Satoshi Batista ( サ ト シ ・ バ テ ィ ス タ ). As a result of the events, Hiroshi allegedly dies in a bus accident and Michiko ends up in prison for a long time, where she was imprisoned by her former friend Atsuko, who now works for the police.
After twelve years, Michiko Malandro managed to escape. During this time, Hana "Hatchin" Morenos ( ハ ナ ・ モ レ ー ノ ス , ハ ッ チ ン ) grew up with a Christian adoptive family. However, she treats her like a slave. So the pastor pretends to be a particularly generous person, although he and his wife always call on Hana for all housework. During her work, she is repeatedly mistreated, sometimes brutally, by her biological son and daughter. The daughter doesn't even shy away from using an iron.
When the family receives a letter from Michiko in which they claim custody of Hana, the pastor decides to shoot Michiko at the handover. Surprised by Michiko's sudden landing with her motorcycle on the family's dining table, he fails to do so and she and Hana escape. During the journey, the strong character differences between the two become apparent. Michiko is a grown, attractive woman, but she doesn't care about laws at all and doesn't seem to fear death. Ten-year-old Hana (Hana is 10 years old in episode 7), referred to by Michiko as Hatchin, forms a strong antithesis here. Because unlike Michiko, she respects the law and would not want to hurt anyone. In addition, she sees through the tricks with which Michiko is regularly ripped off very quickly. Together, on the run from the Christian family and the police, they set out to find the allegedly dead father of Hatchin. Smaller thieves or Atsuko, who is known as “Jambo” because of her dark skin and blonde hair, stand in their way. (a)
In the search for Hiroshi, the two of them get more and more entangled in the machinations of the gangster gang that has grown into a large organization over the past twelve years.
Conception
The story of the anime takes place in an environment of a fictional country modeled on Brazilian cities and landscapes . The cities of São Luís , Olinda , Recife , Barreiras and Rio de Janeiro in particular served as templates for the locations in Michiko to Hatchin . But not only the outward appearance was adapted, but also the well-known problems such as corruption, poor living conditions, sometimes inconsiderate handling of the Christian faith and violence that is not taken seriously.
