Great episode. Strong story focus, which leads me to believe the next few episodes will continue on with the story being the focus, rather than filler-like episodes.
I don't get Atsuko though. She's chasing after Michiko, but as soon as an opportunity arrives to nab her, she's all "oh wait, I'm actually a nice person so I'll save her".

Well, the real reason she accepted Ricardo's proposition of chasing for Michiko again was just to meet her and leap forward instead of remaining in the middle of nowhere. This time she doesn't have that insane sadistic drive of being as evil as posible to Michiko like she did at the beggining.

Hmmm... I thought they finally found him =) *nave person*
Atsuko is so kind! Hope they devote her more time in following episodes.

Agreed with Leon. That's how I felt. Something makes me think that out of spite for Ricardo she'll let them go in the later episodes. Anyway, I can't wait!

Hm dunno what to think of Hiroshi after this episode
I guess we'll find out soon enough what kind of guy he really is...
I probably regret this post by now.

Well as he said, he's loaded. I'm sure he was probably more intrigued by her story and the lengths she went through just to make Michiko feel better. Seems like for all the 'arrogant' talk about him initially he was actually a really cool dude.

Finally some progress with the actual story! Just kidding, I enjoy the fillers too :P

What was up with Michiko being all nose-bleeding like a real perv at the mention of Hiroshi's name in the beginning of the episode? Haha, that was just weird XD

Oh and that actor guy was cool. Break into a rich man's appartment? No prob, he'll pay for the damage, listen to your sob story AND teach you samba! Hahahahahahahaha :D

That nosebleed perfect xd

Now it all makes sense, they cleared allot of things up this episode.

I really dig the music this episode.

I'm willing to bet that Hiroshi was asked to play the role by the Director (Feleciano seemed sort of like a douche towards him) and not by Feleciano.

Feleciano was a pretty cool guy :p

I'm going to guess that crook told Michiko where to head to next or she saw the letter somehow.

A really good episode.

What a random ending lol . . . Anyways, I wonder if Atsuko decided to quit being a police officer entirely, cause it somewhat seemed that way.

So hatchin saw a random douchey looking celebrity and assumed it was the one who knew Hiroshi? That was a bit stupid... Also, I don't understand atsuko at all -- her motivations, what her goal is -- I just don't get it. She kind of pisses me off. And what was up with that famous guy's voice? (I'm watching this dubbed). He sounded really smooth one second and the next he had a really screechy voice with a southern accent :/ and michiko's nosebleed lol that was creepy

It does seem like Hiroshi's running away from Michiko and Hatchin.

All the characters in this episode seemed to showcase their sweet side. Michiko's smile at the end, Atsuko helping out the two of them, Hatchin trying hard to make Michiko happy, and even the actor who ended up being very understanding of Hatchin. Very warm undertones to all this drama. I like it.

I really wish that they would've done a scene where they go through the streets of the city while the Samba Festival was going on. However, I can tell through the way that they tried to pan away from Atsuko during the phone call that they probably didn't have enough money in the animation budget for that.

Besides that, I loved it! You can tell that Hana and Michiko's relationship has really developed when Hana is the one breaking people's windows and chasing after cars on foot. We're within spitting distance of them finding Hiroshi, and I can't wait to see how this plays out.

the songs, the setting of the city, the tv shows, it all felt really brazilian this time. i don't know if it's because the yellow bridges looked a lot like a place in sao paulo, where i passed by pretty often, but it was a nice thing to watch. and one of the songs in the episode just kept repeating the words "gym pants" in portuguese. KJHLUHFGLISEIOJEH

anyway, this episode was pretty sweet and actually moved with the plot forward. i started this thinking michiko was a real badass, now i feel a little pity for her, but it makes her more human. her relationship with hatching is turning out to be pretty cute.

Damn, Hatchin is starting to become like Michiko
Before, she won't do something like breaking into someone's house

I don't know where is that actor's accent come from
But I found it really funny accent xD

All it took is one lie to cheer up Michiko
Also looks like Atsuko has decided to stop chasing Michiko.. again
