I was hoping for some mindblowing awesome ending, but instead there was this bittersweet ending. Overall, the series was a great joy to watch, but I still can't help but be a bit dissapointed. Surely there was a better route to go that this one? Ah well...

8/10, although if it ended better 9/10 (the score I had kept it at all the way till now).

Gonna miss Mitchiko and Hatchin...

Series is great, the ending not so much. Hiroshi was just a lame-o. Hatchin that young baby mama = do not want! Though Michiko kept her cool.

It was good that Michiko went back to prison, so she could finish her sentence. It shows she care more about Hana than herself, a huge progress since the beginning.

Hana would not live a decent life running away with Michiko all the time. And getting Hiroshi to take care of Hana, even if he barely did, was a good thing. Hiroshi was an ass but I can't really hate him. And I wonder if she was going to follow him again. Hope not.

I was a bit surprised that Hana had a baby, but she was at least 18 years old and have a baby at that age is not so uncommon. I don't see her being immature or irresponsible just because she had a baby. She was taking care and working for the sake of her baby, so everything's fine. But I feel bad for the kid, will grown up with Michiko around.



I have to disagree here, the way they showed Brazil was the reason i didn't give this show a 10. I know they never said Brazil, but the map and that Portuguese is from Brazil so they could have studied a bit more and not only showed the bad and poor side of the country that the whole world already knows. It was poorly done.

Enjoyable show, I give it 8/10.

*late yeahhhh*
Firstborn daughters look like their fathers, in general.

It may have been exploiting the third-world vibe for all it was worth, but it lended itself to a good story. I don't really think characters like Michiko would have fit in too well on a more "realistic Brazil".

The overall plot was basically a journey back to square 1. What a letdown... Despite being original in its content, its characters were boring because they kept preaching about how everyone should look at the world realistically while still trying to pursue their ideals such as wishing Hiroshi is a stable, fun guy and such. It's basically an anime about a group of messed up people with no sense of balance and only brought together by a promiscuous, impulsive woman with no direction and a young girl who takes after the parents and the environment she was in (such as being a teen mother).

6/10... Dropped. Not my cup of tea.

Sad to see it end.
I want a Satoshi e Hatchin spin-off.
Those two together were just great.

Didn't expect Hana to become a mother at all. Especially not with some guy that leaves her after three months.
Hiroshi seemed to be a dick, that just runs away from everything.

The ending was okay - I was happy to see Mitchiko and Hatchin reunited.
The anime was good. Although some episodes were just decent, it was never bad.

7/10

Hiroshi was a douchebag, I was expecting a punch in the face rather than a hug when Michiko finally caught up with him.

Hatchin's hair as an adult looked terrible and her having a baby was just felt so random.

Still I enjoyed majority of the show and just for having quality animation and sound I'd give it an 8/10

Uhm, she had to go to jail..


Anyway I knew since the first episode this anime would become one of my favorites, and I wasn't wrong. Even the filler eps interested me and I enjoyed every episode. I loved how there wasn't one of those big happy family endings, Hiroshi just wasn't the kind of guy she thought he was(Michiko that is, Hana had him pegged from the beginning).

Great art, great setting, great show.


Even if only the poor side was shown, how is it badly done? It's not like Manglobe made a statement before hand that they planned on showing some of the poor and not-so-poor sides of Brazil, they just made the show. I thought they did a brilliant job, once again remembering there were no promises in showing any other side of it.


The whole punch in the face to get across your feelings is way overdone, I'm glad they didn't do it like every other anime seems to be doing nowadays.

The ending was pretty weird and way to sweet for me. Whole series had some nice parts and setting was really refreshing but last 2 epizodes were lame. I liked that they added Satoshi as character but then there was not place for that chicken Hitoshi to reveal his motives and so on.
Hatchin as adult was horrible, baby was bad joke. just weird.
Art+music+setting great but story slightly fell down on the way. From previous 9 I go for 8

I knew in the end Hiroshi would turn out to be a douchey dad. A few things aren't really explained or weren't touched upon enough:
-Back stories which lead to nowhere.
-Characters had motives to harm or kill other characters but there's never a true explanation of why. It felt more like a lame excuse to have useless villains.
-Lack of information regarding Hana's real mother.
-An explanation of how the police ended up letting Hana and Michiko meet Hiroshi at the train port.
-What was Hiroshi really running from? Besides the obvious of people trying to kill him, he knew Michiko was coming and he took off....such a loser....and Michiko seems to have a heart for douchey dudes as well. Ugh...

Great beginning, solid ending, but the stories found in-between them are a mixed bag for me.

7/10

Like someone already said, I was completely shocked to see that Hatchin had a baby and with a man that had left after only three months....Wth, that is soo not like Hatchin. I thought she was just babysitting it. And the first thing I noticed was Hatchin's hair, I couldn't get over that odd hair. It would had probly looked better if she had grown it out.

Geez, all that just to search for that lame ass Hiroshi who keeps runing away? Following him across mountains, plain, deserts, the seven seas and through tomato fields, just to deliever him HIS daughter.*exaggerating a bit*. And Michiko says "I finally find you" and he's like...so you let your hair grow out.0_o...lol. It seemed like he had a way of attracting people by blending in with their personalities, and then dissapearing.

But, I wasn't completely dissapointed with the ending. I was happy to see Michiko and Hatchin reunit and not just leave us hanging with the ending.
Yay, three cheers for that!XD

Overall I really liked the show and where everything took place. I'm going to miss the charaters and the show's uniqueness. Can't get enough of Michiko.^^

I personally wasn't going to give it anything below a rating of a 9 at first, but after seeing the last episode...I'll give it a high 8/10. ^^

I thought it was a good ending. Hatchin, the only person who had never met Hiroshi was the one who nailed his personality. Selfish, a bit cowardly, a likeable chameleon.

What I found a bit difficult with the show was that it was so unpredictable. One episode was introspective, another romantic, then suddenly gruesome violence, back and forth. It wasn't like other shows where you know beforehand what kind of mood you're being lulled into. That actually made it somewhat difficult for me to get into. Still, the art, the music, the *style* of this show was remarkable. I can forgive it some minor flaws. 8/10

liked it.. :)

demo., geez! wat a man hiroshi is..
michiko rocks! and yea she deserves far more better guy than hiroshi! :)
