THE DETECTIVE IS A PERVERT THAT LIKES CHILDREN! One moment you see her talking to one of the kids of the priest.....then the next she peaks AT HER PANTIES WITH GRIN? O_O Very disturbing!


That may very well be, but I think she was just checking for the tattoo.

I did not like her ways but you might be right as well but then again would she not have recognized Hana from the picture itself?????

Michiko is hilarious. Another very nice episode, I could watch this all day.

From what picture? The one of Hana as a baby? Lots of things could've changed since then. The priest just could've disguised her too, seeing how shady the guy is. You should have noticed by now that the people in this anime work and act in rather unconventional ways. Gotta stop overanalyzing and judging things based on one scene and instead start to read between the lines. Your posts.. suck.

Far less interesting than the first episode, but it was still entertaining. I hope there will be a main plot sometime soon and they won't fool around escaping the police the whole series. The direction is weaker than Watanabe's one on Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop too, it's a shame he has only a small role in this series...

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Geez this was a long wait for the second episode. Fortunately it did not disappoint. The soundtrack was more noticeable to me this episode than in the first and it certainly does not disappoint with Watanabe doing it. The chase near the end was like a mix between a Bourne film and Lupin III which made it quite amusing/awesome. Plus I'm liking the characters thus far, especially since they don't remind of the same old generic characters that so many new anime have. Great stuff.

Yeah but I did not like the way she proceeds. She is shady and there is quite a number in cultural background over there about cops being corrupted and abusing human rights. Normally cops ain't allowed to do searches the way she did. SO she abusing her rights as a cop and you know I am right.

You do realize that South American cops have quite a notorious reputation for taking brides and looking the other way. Its gotten better over the years as South American nations have turned democratic, but in the 1970s/1980s, with the military regimes, cops weren't really the professional force that they are today.


Exactly my point!

QFT. Father Pedro was(is) a rather toolbaggish character, though the whole family was so whatever. Killing off a kid for insurance though, that's taking things to all kinds of new levels.

Anyway, I love this show. Long wait, but damn the animation, the soundtrack, the story, everything about this show is fantastic. I just hope it doesn't drop off. I dunno where this is going, but I'll stick around for the ride and probably enjoy it.

Let's just hope episode 3 comes a little quicker.

Completely agreed. Loved the music in this, and the art style is really unique imo.
The whole car chase thing reminded me of Grand Theft Auto lol. So far it's not disappointing in the slightest.

You're right, the camera would've had to been shaking all over the place to be reminiscent of a Bourne film. It was more the location/rooftop chases part that reminded me of Bourne. Plus people shooting at each other from under ten feet away while failing to hit anyone was very Hollywood.

So far 2 great episodes, a very cool female lead, a great soundtrack, and nice action scenes. That car chase was pretty damn good. I hope that priest broke his neck during the fall. I hope the show can keep up the momentum.

It wasn't the best episode nor a bad-ass either, it is just an enjoyable episode.

Even the second episode has gotten me wanting more.. I definitely smell 'series of the season'. I haven't felt so eager to see the next episode since Soul Eater, and look how great that seemed to have turned out. xD

Yeah, #1 rule when shooting a running target, don't be running yourself.

Great episode, easily the most stylish show this season and it's also entertaining and has likeable protagonists and easily hated antagonists.

Now we just need some plot besides running away from the police but I guess that wouldn't be so bad either.

I don't know. The only reason I checked out this anime is because of Shinichiro Watanabe. However, as others have said, his role in the anime is rather minor. :/ It's got a certain vibe of his similar shows, but it seems to be lacking something so far.
We'll see.
But so far it's not keeping my interest very well.

Way better than the first episode. Michiko is very hot, the BGM is awesome, and "Hatchin" is less annoying this time. The aiming just killed me. If only the voice actors were better...

The animation, music, characters all make this anime very enjoyable to watch. When Hatchin yelled for Michiko, oh I felt the butterflies. I love relationships with an older person and younger child, it's too cute. <3
