Unboxing: Michiko & Hatchin – Part 1 (Limited Edition Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack) [USA]

Our latest unboxing it’s non-other than FUNimation’s Limited Edition release of Michiko & Hatchin, also known as Michiko To Hatchin, Part 1 –  a series which has yet to be licensed for home video release within the UK.

The only difference between this ‘Limited Edition’ bundle and ‘standard’ versions of Michiko & Hatchin – Part 1 is that the limited Edition includes a carded artbox that can fit box sets into a single series. It’s a common theme with FUNimation releases, and a trend that is starting to appear in the UK (MVM’s Fate/Zero release), but because of this the price usually increases.

With the future dead ahead and the police hot on their heels, Michiko and Hatchin burn rubber through exotic locales 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.
