| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Okay, so it didn't continue where we left Michiko, it just shows us where Hatchin went. Apparently she went to Perna where a statue of the Virgin Mary grants wishes whenever it cries blood. Problem is, Hatchin ran out of money and can't get around, so she winds up sleeping on park benches like a homeless person. She wakes up finding herself used as a pawn by a girl named Rita who is trying to get rid of a boy stalking her. After some mistunderstandings about Hatchin's gender, they get to know each other by going out to eat and sightseeing. It is during the sightseeing that Rita reveals she doesn't believe in the Our Lady of the Bloody Tears. Long story short, Rita is a circus acrobat who is in love with her older partner, Jino, who already is involved with another woman. The usual heartbreak happens and a desperate, Rita changes her mind over Bloody Mary, but finds out that workers replace the statue whenever it gets broken. In the end, Hatchin with nowhere really to go decides to stay on with Rita. The end. ===== Well, not as badass as the last episode, and it leaves us hanging waiting for the conclusion of this arc. We do see the depth of Hatchin's resentment towards Michiko as she throws away that note the latter left for the former and the decision not to go back even when she saw the news bulletin that the police are after her in a sting. Episode was alright, but I felt it got in the way of Michiko's conclusion to the last episode. |
 |
| It was kinda boring episode and they still didnt show us what happened to michiko. |
 |
| Very weird episode. Each time I think the show gets on some kind of track, or some good momentum, they throw in these weird curveballs. I'm starting to thing that this show is more of a visual showpiece than it is actually plot driven. |
| Hm... this episode was okay. No Michiko. Well, TBH I didn't miss her this time. :P |
| nice ep. loved the hug scene. <3 |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| Even if we could think that the plot isn't developping, I guess that this episode will be pretty important in the end since this time, Hatchin definitely chose her path away from Michi (huhu). On top of that, the episode was great ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Heh, ok episode. I didn't really care about any of the characters they introduced this time though.. |
| A much better episode than the last couple. It's nice to have Hatchin back in the spotlight, especially considering Michiko has been hindering my enjoyment of this show immensely lately. I can only take so much fiery tempered, act before you think irresponsibility before it just gets annoying. |
| Interesting episode, but I hope Michiko comes to pick up Hana soon. |

| I was expecting the continuation of episode 8 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt rather nice episode with Hatchin and a 10 year old circus performer. So Hatchin joins the circus and Michiko's in trouble? |
| lol kinda funny how that Davis guy still got killed even after winning the game. Yea this was a little out of nowhere and I wonder what they are going to do with this. |

| I loved Hatchin and Rita's relationship it was really cute. I missed Michiko though even though she seriously upset me last episode . sidenote: No one mentioned when Rita randomly said she thought her tampon string was hanging out o.0 |
 |
| what a weird and different development. im not even sure what to make of it. edit: i lmao when she said that bit about the tampon string. also was it just me or did rita remind anyone else of michiko. |
crazy_eights said: what a weird and different development. im not even sure what to make of it. Def agree, no clue where this anime is really going. Love the part where hana slapped the kid with the glasses, he needed that one, LoL |
 |
| It's 22 eps, how boring would it be if each episode would go hand-in-hand with the next/previous one? I like the way it's going, really enjoying it. |

| The conclusion of Michiko's story should've been dealt with before this episode, the momentum's been disrupted. |
kie_ said: Michiko escaped and is currently on the run. Thus says the TV.It was kinda boring episode and they still didnt show us what happened to michiko. Whereas last ep was badass, this one had good character development. I think Rita may stay around for a while. crazy_eights said: Yes.also was it just me or did rita remind anyone else of michiko. |

| Brilliant episode once again. I have absolutely no idea where this is going, and I love that. |

| It was like they were trying to make the most detestable brat when they made Hatchin. I have to downgrade my rating of this anime to a 5/10 because she is so terribly unbearable, and that is just wrong since this is a quality anime...this episode was awful ahhhh |
| Elsewhere, a somewhat startled Warren Worthington III finds that he has accidentally wandered into an electrified east-side world of post-twist teens and watsui-ing teeny-boppers... |

 |
| Well Michiko is at least just your typical big-titted, bold and brash heroine; Hatchin is always a brat or a pity case. I hate when a major storyline is 'little brat with no backbone learns to live happily and with a little more backbone!!' It is why I rated Eureka Seven a 3 or 4 and will be the reason that I rate this a 3 or 4 if it keeps going this direction :( |

| hmm this episode was ok, i was really hoping for the next bit of the plot though. i guess the whole point is for hatchin to be travelling away from michiko, and guess they wanted to make more of a story behind it so i don't blame them. |

I think one of the reasons viewers love Michiko is for her physical assets- she certainly doesn't show much character depth, but I hope I'll be proved wrong later in the series. Michiko's fun, and I do like her sometimes, but the creators need to dig deep. |
|
| love this episode we learn about the person in hatchin how she feels, and she made new friends like this anime so far. |
 |
| I actually enjoyed this episode - I admit I was looking forward to a conclusion for Michiko's visit to Satoshi, but Hana's relationship with Rita was lovely. Besides, the last few episodes had Michiko and Hana fighting 24/7. This is some fresh air - Michiko has to be worried about Hana, do you remember they she looked at the tram on episode 8? |
| Why havent I dropped this crap yet? |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Surprise surprise, episode didn't follow up with what happened to Michiko :T Still, this was a nice episode about Hana. |
 |
| What the fuck, I loved this episode. Hatchin's friend was really cute. I like this story paaace. |
 |
| I was really keen on when Michiko and Hatchin were together, but now I'm a little bored. I gave 4 this episode. Like circus :) |
| Seems to be losing promise quite quickly, this. For some reason, even with the great art and music and potentially great character development opportunities, there seems to be no real direction, and even though the episodes are a little linked, it just seems disjointed. Perhaps it would be better if it were simply episodic. |

I'm starting to thing that this show is more of a visual showpiece than it is actually plot driven. This show has never been plot driven, it's character driven, and thus it makes this episode okay. Not great, but it wasn't that bad. |

 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| So Davi still ended up dying... |
| whist i enjoyed hachin being the main focus.... i felt this episode should have been later on... they should have concluded with the last one, now the momentum has just failed, and its like were at snail pace... the way the story is being told is confusing me, and tbh isn't logical yet i still enjoy it xD damn it... *loads episode 10* |
| i cant stand hatchin with michiko "your hair looks like candy" that made me lol so hard |
| Awww man, hatchin runs away with the circus. Back to Michiko next? |
| Such junk... |
| Rope + Bare hands = all totally fine - yea that bothered me... Now that Michiko ain't in it, it feels like the development and pace really dropped by a lot... I do hope we'll see something better than just side stories... |
 |
| I love the episode even if that is a 'side story'. Hope for more circus episodes! And more circus's anime! The show of Rita and Gino was really really short though :/ too short, and quite dissapointing. |
| Kinda ironic how she introduces herself as Hana to forget about Michiko when she hated the name because it reminded her of her foster parents. |
| Great episode and was totally unexpected. Ha it was funny that Rita thought she was a dude, first time that's happened. |
| So . . . Now she is going to travel with Circus people? Kind of missing the whole dynamic with Hatchin and Michiko but oh well. |
 |
| So Hatchin is running away to the circus? Looks like there will be two separate story lines for now. |
 |
| awwhh they ditched last ep |

I agree with you :p Kind of surprising she's turned out "well" considering how f*cked up her environment was growing up. |
