Short Synopsis: Hana meets a circus girl of her age.
Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent)
Oh, this series makes writing random stories seem so easy, even though there are plenty of anime who suffer from being unable to put in a satisfying filler episode, or fill up their airtime. This was a wonderful episode, and the creators really managed to bring Rita (the circus girl) to life, along with her love for the person who raised her, even though he’s in love with someone else.
And at the same time this episode also made sure of some good development for Hatchin. She really is a strange character in Brazil, being raised in such an uptight family. She’s incredibly polite, and this episode really helped her to open up to someone, and loose up a bit. It feels to me that she’s finally found someone she can trust. How the heck is Michiko going to get her back like this?
What also caught my attention is that Hana isn’t quite able to get rid of her real name like that, since she introduced herself to Rita as Hana, rather than Hatchin. At first she began using Hatchin to forget about her foster parents, now ironically she stopped using it to forget about Michiko.
