Michiko e Hatchin random squeeing again

[la_vie_noire]

OKAY PEOPLE. Remember that some ages ago I said that I was re-watching Michiko e Hatchin with my sister (she was watching it for the first time though)? Well, it took some time due to losing my HD thanks to a virus and my internet being lousy, but WE FINALLY FINISHED IT. And she LOVED it, she cried her eyes out, said it was great and made me so happy because I'm always trying to convert her like into fiction I love.

A one on a million series. Truly, it has problems, I'm pretty sure it was created after Cidade de Deus (what with gangs, crime and corruption dominating everything, and... stuff), but you know what? We agreed that it feels like home. Damn good job in capturing these places, yeah, it has samba and everything with a "Brazilian feeling," but it's real and here, and that's something to praise. Bet Hollywood wouldn't do it like that. Never.

The story? Unique. It's just about women, women of color, and women outside the system. I have said it before, but the white man who is the main plot device is one... piece of shit. And the story acknowledges it like hell.

It's fantastically written and paced, without melodrama, breaking clichés and sometimes even meta about telenovelas and fiction. It works when it's flashy and over the top. It just knows what it does.

I will always recommend it to everyone. It's amazing.

That was one of my most favorite things about the series (there are many but I liked how it subverted this one point) -- that it absolutely acknowledges how the guy who's the main instigator for the plot is an absolute piece of shit and a loser.

Yeah, exactly, way of a subversion since Hiroshi was supposed to be the nice, gentle love interest.

I thought it appropriate!

I picked up this series on your rec. I was a bit iffy about the beginning, because it seemed like Hana was just getting abused and taking it, but then she struck back, and then Michiko landed on the dining room table on her motorcycle, and I've watched three episodes now and adore it. Hana is so cute, and Michiko might be my favorite anime heroine *ever*, and I love watching them together.

Oh, but wait! It gets better! My favorite is Atsuko by a mile, and Michiko is awesome even if she sometimes frustrates me, you just have to watch it to the end. &hearts
