| Excellent first episode, with great animation. Sad to watch child abuse |
 |
| I have high hopes for this series given its connection to Samurai Champloo, and obvious inspiration from the works of Shinichiro Watanabe. But all in all wasn't that impressed with the first episode. I liked all the parts with Michiko but we didn't get to see enough of her. And truthfully I want to like Hana (Hatchin?), she's a pretty grounded protagonist who reminds me of a child from a Ghibli film. But her story line here was so terrible it kind of derailed the shows momentum for me. Her family was just too evil, it went past the point of engendering sympathy and into oh come the fuck on no one would be that mean. Particularly the scene where the son and daughter are making her behave like a horse. That scene was also kind of fetishy and gross. This show has some things going for it for sure. For the time it's animation is pretty damn solid. It also has killer music, and seems capable of constructing a good fight scene (something Manglobe has always been good at). But this was a frightfully weak premiere, riddled with narrative gaps, dull dialogue and baffling character motivations. I really do hope, that this snowballs into something bigger and I forget all about this stuff by the end. But that's never the strongest way to start your series. The OP was awesome though. |

| Orgulho BR!!! Good first episode, the OST reminds me of Cowboy Bebop and that's awesome! |

| AUHhuauha wtf am I watching? the true black "comedy"? It was painful to watch in many ways. Violence fanservice as hell. "Brazil"? Just the environment is enough to deny it. The little girl's voice does no match her, I mean, she's young but the voice is of an older girl. Going to give the next episodes a try, let's see how it comes. |

 Not sure anyone else noticed this, but the people who signed the certificate of adoption were Paulo Roberto Falcão and Antônio Carlos Cerezo (aka Toninho Cerezo). To those unfamiliar, those two were football players on the Brazilian National Team in the World Cups of 1982 and 1986. They were both midfielders in the starting 11 by the way. |

| This show made me yell twice at the beyond disgusting actions of Hana's fake siblings. That family was beyond crazy, I was chanting in my mouth the whole time. Was so glad when Hana bitch-slapped Maria and she started whimpering. Like that suits you more. And I swear I wanted Hana to run that iron on that other kid, he pissed me off the most. Great premise. This looks refreshing. |
 |
| i was really surprised to see an anime inspired in brazil and it was an interesting watch. kinda funny to see everything written in portuguese and not in the subtitles and the pronunciation of the names. i actually liked it. there wasn't much of a plot, but come on, it's just the first episode and i think the joy of introducing us to what the ride is gonna feel like was well done. |
  |
| I decided to watch this anime since I heard it was like one of my all=time favorite anime, Cowboy Bebop. I was leery about the plot to be honest because I don't like watching children being abused but at least Michiko saved her so I hope it gets better from there. I didn't like this first episode because I hated Hana's foster family and it fails to be up to Bebop's standards. 2/5 |
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| Pretty good first episode, was really uncomfortable for me at times but I liked it. I too think the beating the sister and running away part was her imagination, because the sister did not having any bruises or signs of the beating and it didn't seem like Hana was in trouble with her foster family. Then again, Michiko's message may have put all of that on the back burner. |

| Cinderella 2.0? (･ω<)☆ Nice episode and perfect opening! Members of Hana's "family" are really monsters. Hana is unhappy. It's a pity! Cat! Cat! Cat! What happened to the cat? (ノ_<。) |
| Decent start. That family deserved much, much worse, I was seething at their actions. Tried out the dub, pretty solid and goes with the setting, I might stick with it. Michiko seems like a foxy lady <3 Wonder what her link to Hana is. She had a baby picture of her - well, she doesn't *look* like her mother, but I suppose it's within the realms of possibility. |
| F Manglobe, never forget :( Her family deserved much worse than that, Michiko should have shot the priest At least now Hana is in much better hand Also the english dub for Michiko is Monica Rial... Ewww Glad I didn't use dub or even like it |
"Signature removed"   |
| Only one episode in and I am already in love with it. It is stylish, the music is great and it is different from the usual lot (plus it is from one of my favourite anime people :g:) |
| I don't know how did I get myself to watch this, but hey, it may be a hidden gem! I really enjoyed that first episode, let's see where it goes from here |
  ┌─❈❇❈─┐  └─❈❇❈─┘ |
| That family was fucking obnoxious. Too early to say if this will be good or not, but I like badass women like Michiko and the directing slaps. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Enjoying the vibe so far. Watching that family abuse Hana was rage inducing though. |
| It nailed the soap opera tragedy perfectly down to the moment when the protagonist give the evil people a good earned slapping and punching meal. Michiko entrance was great. Some scenes were framed in way that was not appealing to me, though. |
| It’s pretty good, got me hooked, but I gotta rant on the foster family. Fuck those bastards. Fuck em all. Especially that Maria girl, and that Gabriel dude. And that dad who told Hana “love thy neighbor” as if they follow that. Like bitch don’t fucking tell her “love thy neighbor” when you clearly don’t love her by letting Maria and Gabriel treat her like shit while you and your ugly hag wife sit on your asses and don’t do shit. That was the end of my rant, but I’m hooked into the series. |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| haha bullying goes brrr!!! |
 |
| Watching this had been on my mind for some years now and I can say that this is a great start for a series, specially how much was shown during such short time. This show really gives off that same kind of Cowboy Bebop/ Great Pretender type of wibes which makes me very happy and I hope it won’t dissapoint |
