Ever knew anyone who was quiet as a child? Always took crap, did the chores for others, and didn't complain a bit? Well, that's Hana, an orphen girl in Mexico who was adopted and treated as an inhouse slave for the sake of a welfare check.
Well, that is until some wierd woman, Machiko, pops out of nowhere driving a moped and snatches Hana from her "happy" little home. Oh, and did I mention that Machiko just escaped from jail? Yeah, she did and is now running from half the Mexican police force.

Machiko to Hatchin (Machiko & Hatchin) is a funky cool little series. So far I've only seen the first two episodes and I am ready to see more. The opening music is great and goes well with the anime's randomness and independent feel. Filled with great banter that would confuse most people and completely lose everyone else Machiko to Hatchin holds a steady paced story that's not too slow or fast.
Things only move fast when Machiko gets violent, and when she's not lazy she is violent, really violent. Hana is the voice of reason solely from being unsure and not knowing what to do with herself. The two of them make a funny pair each balancing the other as the police and Hana'a adoptive father chase them like no tomorrow, each for their own reasons.

I intend to find the rest of the series and continue watching. I want to see what happens and if that adoptive family ever gets what's coming to them. Boy I hope so. Heh, heh.
