Last year, North American anime publisher Funimation Entertainment confirmed they had acquired the rights to the 2008-2009 anime series Michiko & Hatchin, with plans to release it later this year. The company have recently confirmed that they will be publishing this beginning the 17th September 2013. In addition to this announcement, the company also confirmed the English voice cast for the series – with a couple of surprises… especially with Monica Rial as Michiko instead of someone like Jamie Marchi.
The voice cast is as follows:
Michiko: Monica Rial
Hatchin: Jād Saxton
Hiroshi: Christopher Bevins
Atsuko: Sametria Ewunes
Satoshi: Akron Watson
Michiko is a stunning escaped convict with lethal looks and a deadly disrespect for the lawmen trying to hunt her down. Hatchin is a hapless orphan pushed to the breaking point by the sadistic spawn of her fiendish foster parents. On their own, these chicas are nothing more than a Yin searching for its Yang, but when fate – in the form of a mysterious hombre from their past – brings them together, the world better watch out! With the future dead ahead and la policia hot on their heels, Michiko and Hatchin burn rubber through exotic locals where danger lurks around every corner. It’s two against the world in this sun-soaked, Latin-tinged tale of partners in crime who won’t stop running till they chase down a dream.
