I thought it was that she was making sure the girl didn't have the tattoo, but...it was really creepy still.

I was blond when I was born and my hair now changed to a super dark brown. A lot of babies are born blue eyed and blonde. Isn't that a common thing? I don't think I changed from being blonde and blue eyed until about two months or so and then I was brown eyed and brown haired. I think Jumbo figured that Michiko might have taken the wrong girl seeing as though she'd never seen Hatchin save for a picture of when she was a baby.

Chin and tan are mispronunciations stereotypically attributed to small children and are thus perceived as baby talk, hence their association with cuteness—though "chin" can also be used to give a character a slightly delinquent, psychotic feel—especially if the character speaking is older, and still using it to address people they nominally respect"

Thanks. I'm familiar with most honorifics, but forgot about "chin". Interesting nuance regarding delinquents--ironic since Michiko's the delinquent

Umm... don't forget that Michiko called her a pervert because apparently Jumbo had sexual intentions toward her. I thought that skirt lift was not entirely in the line of duty, being held a bit long and initiating a bit too much interest on Jumbo's face.

[NickelXenon]

That is true, it was implied Jumbo was a pervert and she does seem somewhat obsessive about Michiko. The look on her face was kind of creepy to me too. Oh and I can't remember her name like ever, so I'll just call her Jumbo all the time now.

Spoiler:

Was that guy in the third episode Hiroshi? If he was, boy did he trade down! That was one ugly ass wife! And I think it was him, why else would Michiko throw away the drawing? I thought it was sad how she dressed up only to be disappointed.

Spoiler for Episode 03:

A pretty fun episode, i've got nothing against it. The Chinese guy Ran was pretty amusing, and it's because of him we see Hatchin cut of those absolutely awesome balls of fluff on her head.

Could also notice the BONES touch in this episode --- especially with Michiko's facial structure.

Oh and i laughed quite a bit at Michiko's drawing of Hatchin.

Hey, now that gal might have been hot back in the day. People change, girls get pregnant, gain weight etc. Sometimes after pregnancy have trouble losing it, and of course as the years go by...

Still, I definitely agree, giving up Michiko... Not a smart thing to do.

Hey! You can get the weight off at least if you keep up a healthy lifestyle, maybe eat healthy and go for a walk every once in a while. It just takes a lot of patience and time. He looked confused to me. Did he even recognize Michiko or Hatchin?

[Molenir]

No reason he would recognize Hatchin, but as for Michiko, it didn't look like he recognized her. He had to have heard what Hatchin called him though, I think that was the reason he was staring at her for so long.

After watching the subbed version, I have to admit, I really think that was him. Wonder who Hatchin's mom is though, if it really isn't Michiko.

[Oxtail]

I'm surprised it appears they ended the Hiroshi plotline so early. I wonder what they're going to use to drive the plot from here on out.

One question concerning the end of episode 3:

Spoiler for episode 3:

So, Michiko saw the kids/women clothes hanging on the clothesline and suddenly realized that Hiroshi already got a new fam and (obviously) didn't/don't care for Michiko & Hatchin anymore/at all and then dragged Hatchin away from him/his house, telling her that this isn't her dad?
Am I wrong or completely missing something? If yes, maybe someone will be so kind and help me out here? Thanks in advance.

That's what I'm thinking too and then when the door opened, it only confirmed her suspicions.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pic.

[SuperKnuckles]

Wow. That episode was so well done but also so cliche. I totally knew the old woman's predictions will come true (it ALWAYS does. Or doesn't, hilariously. Either way).

I guess the one funny part is that Michiko probably saw herself as a fatter, child-raising woman and maybe she didn't fall in love with that kind of portrayal.

Other than that... that was anime 101. The psychic is actually a psychic. whodathunkit.

And don't forget that they grow up! That tattoo is going to look extremely distorted by the time she is an adult.

And just think what would happen to her tattoo if Michiko ever gets pregnant!

you got it right. We will confirm it in episode 4. If Michiko stops looking for Hiroshi in episode 4, then that guy was Hiroshi for sure.

[solomon]

If they do confirm said whatchamacalit, then the writers will gain huge props from me.

Either way, as long as they don't do anything REALLY stupid with the plotline (which is flimsy anyways) the show rocks merely due to the strength of charisma, both from the characters, and overall execution.

Oh yea I LOVE the seiyuu here

[Seravy]

both hatchin & michiko's va's are excellent+ loving this series
