Dangerous Characters: Michiko Malandro

It's the first Monday of the month, so we've got another Dangerous Character to introduce, and boy do we have a crazy one. This lady broke out of prison to find the child of the man she loved, and fought her way through police, gangs and who knows what else to get both of them to him. If cornered, she'll fight like a tiger and never takes no for an answer. So allow me to introduce one of the scariest stiletto-wearing beauties in all of anime. Let's give it up for Michiko Malandro from the series Michiko to Hatchin.

When we reviewed Michiko to Hatchin I was impressed by the tenacity with which Michiko carried herself. Granted she's done a lot of terrible things. She's killed gang members, injured cops, and heaven help you if you get in her way (she will make you hurt...   a lot), but that's the kind of tenacity that lands you here. When you aren't afraid to drive mopeds through windows, break out of prison, take police detectives hostage, and fight with gang leaders on their home turf, you're one tough cookie. of course, in the environs she inhabits (a mysterious nonexistent country in South America) you really have to be tough especially if you want to stand up to homicidal maniacs like Satoshi Batista. Thankfully, she does have a somewhat calming influence in the guise of her young companion Hatchin, but if you catch her alone, you're in trouble. So if you happen to find yourself south of the equator, you better hope you don't end up in Michiko's way. If you do, well, I feel sorry for you.
