| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice story, but it felt a bit weird. It all happened too fast. Decent ep nonetheless. |

| Good Hatchin episode. I liked it even though I didn't get everything immediately. |
| Not that big fan of Hatchin, so this episode was so-so to me. Though I did like the Ergo Proxy reference: |
| It's strange how Michiko e Hatchin varies from good episode episodes like this one (yes I know it has nothing to do with the plot or anything and it's quite a bit random) and much less interesting episodes like the former episode. I really have a hard time liking this seires even if I feel like I should. It doesn't appeal to me that much. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I kinda liked this episode. LOL @ the Ergo Proxy reference |

| i think this episode is what pisses me off about the series. i like the series alot but then episode to episode there is not continuity. how does she go from sitting in a car with an assassin who says she loses to being ok the next episode. i just wish they would wrap up one idea properly. |
| I loved this episode. Hachin's date! The insert song was great. I'm glad I'm archiving the 720p's, I have a feeling I'll be watching the again. |
 |
| Cute episode. Oh man I missed the Ergo Proxy ref, though. D: Bad fan. |
| hahahaxD When I saw vincent law I kept thinking "I KNOW THIS NAME!!!???" What anime was he fromxD Forgot about Ergo proxy hahahaxD I thought it was a really cute episode =3 Kind of dissapointed with how it ended... but still cute. I lol'd when Michiko called him Gay lookingxD Because the very first scene they showed him in the bookstore I thought he was either a gir(Till he talked)l or gay too xD |
 |
| I really did not like this episode. I liked it in theory, but in execution it was just beyond terrible. The story was far too rushed. They tried to pack 2 episodes of content into one episode, and as a result, characters were completely nonsensical in action and motivation. The pace was jumpy, with an equally unsettling direction to frame everything, and the dialogue was just plain bad. Honestly, I don't see the point in giving Hatchin a love interest if it's only going to happen in one episode. We spent what, 3 episodes on her first friend? Bad. |
| I think first everyone needs to accept that almost all of these episodes (and future episodes) will not be interconnected. There's only a few that you need to watch in a particular order. We've all seen the formula: mini-story is presented, then we find out that it doesn't relate to anything. No reason to expect a meaningful episode at this point. I liked the originality in this episode. Hatchin was bearable to me for once, a real shocker. |

| Haha, that Vincent Law reference cracks me up XD Good episode, thou I agree with noteDhero about the way it was gone about. Not a very good execution, but ah well. And I thought he was a girl in the beginning as well, shocked when I heard his voice haha. Cute ep overall. |

| I don't know why but I love this series. When it finishes It's going on my favorite list. |
  |
| When Lenine and Hatchin were outside his house in the dark, omg he was so hott. And then she ruined it by shouting she hates him. This episode sucked. Hardly any michiko and my darling Hana... I started to wish she died or something, she was so stupid. lol@ 'the gay guy' leaving the book for her. What was up with his outfit >:@ Vincent Law <3 |
   |
| nice episode but i think it's about time we returned to the main plot, no? |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| OH GOD. BEST EPISODE EVER, EVER, EVER. I LOVE EVERYTHING: SPLOT, MUSIC, REFERENCES (LOL), HANA, MICHIKO, OMGAWD, THE GRPAHICS. Looks SO MUCH LIKE MY COUNTRY OR BRASIL. I think, great anime EVER. I love this episode, omgawd T_________T. And Lenine, nononono, just awesome, awesome, awesome. |
| Too much slice of life and romance in this ep...last one (14) was the best episode of the series with the only prblem being the unresolved assasin plot...it just din end too well. I was kinda expecting more story from this ep though. Overalll confusing ep...just couldnt get the boy and Hana wasnt acting liek I'd expect her to |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| Honestly one of my least favorite episodes... A little bit too soft for me. I struggled not fast forwarding most of it >.< |
  |
| It couldn't surpass the magnificence of episode 7, but it was VERY good. Don't blame Hana. It's a difficult girl, with a difficult past, on a difficult time. I just think that people don't get that the main plot has absolutely nothing to do with Hiroshi. Srsly. |

I recently finished Ergo Proxy too. :P |

| Yay for more random characters, not. |
 |
| Very nice romantic story! But Hatchin's behavior was a little bit annoying, she was too close. |
| I still don't get Hatchin's motivation for the things she says and does. |

| It tried to be a cute/heartwarming Hana-centric episode that ended up being weird, confusing, and downright creepy thanks to that boy they introduced in the story. Compared to the previous stories, this one was pure laziness and boredom. |

Though I see where you're coming from, I'd have to completely disagree. I believe the whole point of this episode was to remind us that Hatchin, despite being the maturer of the pair, is still just a 10 year old girl, and her feelings and actions towards Lenine are just further proof of that. |
 |
| I really love this series, it just feels good man. Also, Michiko is fucking awesome as always. "Some gay looking boy just dropped this book off." So nonchalant. |
| This was definitely my most favourite episode thus far. That boy was so cute. Really I'm only forcing myself to watch this show because I like the character Hatchin. Not to mention I think I'm fairly racist toward this sort of thing. I'm much more comfortable with a typical white-ish anime cast. And this show has more black people than I've ever seen in anime. Makes me feel uncomfortable and out of place. But Hatchin and episodes like this have made it worth it for the most part. And gods, Hatchin is seriously Tsundere. Lenine is so adorable, seriously. Of course she liked him. But running away? Good lord. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| When Hatchin cries at the end >_< |

| yeah this episode needed more episodes if anything, no way can you just throw in a love interest and have all that in just under 20mins, way too rushed, this anime is like a guity pleasure, in theory its not that good, the plot is non-existant, the main characters arent even that likeable anymore, at least not for me... but i dunno, i just want to keep watching, maybe a part for me thinks it might get better? aha |
| This episode was really confusing for me. I was surprised they didn't continue where they left of in the previous episode, and also disappointed. Either way, still like this anime. |

I just think that people don't get that the main plot has absolutely nothing to do with Hiroshi. Srsly. Indeed, there is a reason why this is comparable to Champloo, Bebop, Mushishi, because it is so driven by characters and relations. Story is pretty much thrown aside, especially with all these gaps in chronology and interesting choice of editing. It's very unique and stylistic and I personally love it. |
 |
| at first when i saw that lil boy i was like not another stalker kid like rita ex but he ended up being a cool kid.. i think hatchin might finally be able to understand michiko a little more |
Fabienne said: I still don't get Hatchin's motivation for the things she says and does. Me neither... poor Lenine. He was pretty nice, I think. |
| I liked this episode quite a bit. Doesn't help the story along and Hatchin still makes little sense to me but it was nice. Based on anime I'd judge that kids are totally clueless about love & relationships, lol. |
| Such junk... |

| A bit of love put in the story, why not he... not a bad episode, lets see what's next! |
 |
| The first scene was beautiful (compare to the similar scene of intense, wordless attraction with Michiko in episode 7), but the rest was cheesy as hell, especially Grandpa Exposition kicking the story in a new direction. I swear, the boy might as well have had one of those magical anime diseases and melodramatically dropped dead at the end of the episode. |
| I was disapointed when they didn't follow up with the old guy ( I should of known since there was no part 1 in last episode title), but it was a good episode seeing Hatchin's first crush was really cute. |
| This episode was pretty bland honestly, the pacing was terrible. Could be because i don't like Hana..didn't like this much. |
