A nice episode. The scene with the "doctor" and the fish was hilarious. And more informations about Hiroshi!?

Just one thing confused me(NO not Michiko's dream!):

Haha yeah indeed, the 31st of april is confusing ;)

Overall, this episode was disapointing once again, this series is very slow and episodic (not on the good, original side unfortunately, more on the random side), and there are very little developments too. I expect much better from a Manglobe anime.

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

I agree, very strange episode indeed. I don't really understand what the point of all this is going to be. Hiroshi is an actor? Or was that all Michiko's delusion?

Like everyone else said above me, this was a strange episode. I can't really tell what was real or not.

Hiroshi's not an actor, it was all a delusion. Michiko just started mistaking every guy she saw for Hiroshi. Not really my favorite episode either, but it wasn't so bad.

I liked it. Yeah it was a head trip but it did show the extent of what Hatchin would do for Michiko when she was sick. Looking at the character side of things I'm giving it a 4/5. For plot movement it's 3/5. Since there is no 3.5/5 I rounded up to 4/5.

If we got 80% or higher let me know! :)

I have no words to describe my feelings towards this episode - It was hilarious in many ways but the anime hasn't reached the tops yet. It still has room to get better - I don't give up hope yet ;)

I guess these are the kind of episodes to expect from here on out. On average, this seems to be the standard type of episode. I really was expecting more from this series overall, but I'm still quite alright with how it has turned out.

I also think that it was all just Michiko's delusions otherwise this makes no sense. A guy who is thought dead and wanted by the mafia is an actor? Anyway it seems Manglobe got their obligatory mindfuck episode out of the way. If Michiko did see him in a newspaper with that woman then is she Hatchin's mom?

These episodes seem to be focusing on Hatchin and her warming up to Michiko so yeah there was some development. It's just moving at a slow pace is all.

i loved how michiko was acting all childish not going to the doctors, and was all like 'you could at least be nice to me when im sick' xD but yeah indeed a trippy episode, i liked it for the most part, but like everyone else has already stated, i think the series needs to get more plot movement going, it just seem sporadic and random now, just a lot of random events!

Has no one seen that episode in Samurai Champloo with the shrooms that is pretty much a carbon copy of this?

I love how Hatchin is really more the mother figure in their relationship than Michiko haha

"After escaping from prison, the sexy criminal Michiko rescues an abused girl known as Hatchin."
Sounds like a crazy epic thrilling ride from start to finish.


Instead of that we mostly get awkward plot, awkward character relationships, awkward dialogue (I'm not a VA but sometimes their voices don't sound all that good tbh), snail's pace development.


Everything looks pretty and Michiko is hot for days but I don't care anymore, so...dropping.

A being sick episode, seen better but was still decent, some crazy tripping scenes though... but was the picture in that news letter really the man they're looking for? Or was it just her delusion?

Going to go ahead and assume that Hiroshi was never in the newspaper . . . Though it did get my hopes up for a second.

Anyways, how the hell did Michiko beat the crap out of the doctor if she was that weak?

"I'm hot because unlike you, I'm one hot woman." HA!

I wonder if it was really Hiroshi in the newspaper or if it was part of Michiko's fever trip.

I'm done with this anime.

So much randomness, randomness feelings, randomness actions, randomness things, full of violence fanservice.

The part where I absolutely lost it was during the scene where she's watching television, and just as Hiroshi and the doctor are about to engage in *ahem* lewd interactions, she SMASHES THE FUCKING TV OKAY WOW

Also, Hotline Miami Hatchin is the GOAT.

In the first half of the episode I notice some sort of a pattern, about Hatchin not reading the small letter bits... But after that I was lost, as to what the theme of the episode was.

I hated that drunk bastard with the shotgun! But I guess everyone was a jerk in this episode, except for the owner lady.

Hiroshi is probably not actually an actor, but maybe Michiko's delusions about him being an actor might be her instincts telling her that there were a lot of things about Hiroshi that she didn't know about. Or maybe I'm just reaching.
