Maybe Art wasn't himself? Like he was being manipulated somehow or Moral did something to him. Anyways, Nice couldn't have died. That would be pathetic

Well didnt expect that at all. Season 2 I will take a gander if it is made. How this show will sell will determine that. If it doesn't get one that would blow

I'd prefer a sequel special or ova instead of a whole second season, but I'll watch it regardless. I want more after an ending like that.

Best part of the entire episode?

Narut-, I mean Naru-faux attacking with a swirling ranseng- I mean 'TORNADO' and swiftly being one-hit KO'd.

This shows had so much going for it and some really interesting themes, but in the end it kind of just fell flat.

I do want to know what happens next though, so I'm hoping for a second season.

I knew Art was going to backstab Nice when he appeared but suddenly there might be a second season? I might have passed otherwise but damn this cliffhanger got to me.

(I only liked it because they showed the store sprayed with blood) xD

But that ending was just weak and random...

That ending was abrupt, that's an another point that reminds me of Gatchaman Crowds.

Season 2 is coming but when is the question. It said right at the end to be continued weren't you guys paying attention?

I bet you Moral did some sort of soul/personality transfer with Art as his new medium.

Moral = Orochimaru.

This series started off nicely but was quickly ruined with pointless episodes, many WTF moments (gay robbers episode for example), and retarded characters (too many instances to mention). The actions of this show's characters are even more idiotic than Noragami and on the standard of Coppelion.

I was cringing uncontrollably at the scene where all the side characters started sending text messages to Nice. And then... Nice throws his cell phone away in a fit of frustration.

Well played.

So here's a theory to that slap of an cliffhanger ending:

At first I thought Moral or that flower girl screwed with Art's head or something. But for Moral to keep saying Art was dead, I think he truly thought he died but instead of that flower chick disposing of him like he asked of her, she helped Art recover instead. Art shot Moral for stabbing and shooting him 5 times on his own brother's grave. Seems fair right? He was causing nothing but crazy chaos after all as well. So why did Art shoot Nice?

Had to be something with whatever Moral whispered to him before he shot him. Whatever Art was "looking for". But why shoot your best friend? Well what's more important to Art than his own best friend?

His little brother.
Moral must have knew something about his brother's death and maybe Nice was involved with it which is why he left the Academy.

Gonna miss this whack-job of an anime. Really hoping to get some solid answers or I just might end up jumping out a window > . >
Oh but darling, we're all insane. . .

I thought Hajime was going to be all BA but then it was like someone suddenly pulled the plug lmao.
- - -

This series was really all over the place. At first I thought the story looked promising and it actually got me excited. Then as I watched week after week it just felt...off. The hit or miss comedy actually messed up the flow and I felt like the dark tone was there only for the shock factor just so you'd be like "woah now it's getting serious!"

5/10.

Seems like it. People need to pay more attention.

A cliffhanger is not a bad thing and especially when there is obviously more to come of Hamatora.

so im assuming Art had the minimum Duplicate or Doppelganger or immortality?
i think the reason art killed moral was 1) moral did try to kill him 2) maybe cuz of whatever moral told art

i was like oh arts alive sweet. oh he killed moral, justified... WHAT WTF, WHY WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
shame hajime didnt get much action though. and i want to know how art got on that boat

lol at that last scene. Pretty interesting. Show had a lot of potential it left unfulfilled, but it did hit some right notes along the way and ended up enjoyable.

At the start of the series, I was honestly going to write if off as a completely average action anime (Psycho Pass meets Getbackers) but it ended up being entertaining after all. So yeah another season wouldn't be too bad.

The ending made me go WTS? THat's it? i waited for a whole week for this?? But then it also made me think of possible theories on why 'Art' killed 'Moral' at the end. Could it be that Moral disguised himself as Art and Art as him? But then that wouldn't justify the fight of Nice and 'Moral' on the boat... Gahh i'm so confused about this :( hopefully some light would be shed on what is going/will go on

There are good cliffhangers and there are bad ones. The ending of Code Geass season 1 can easily be categorized as a good cliffhanger even though the followup in season 2 was bad. This one on the other hand feels like it was put in purely for shock value. There was no build-up to this scene. No hints. Nothing. I trust that whatever explanation they come up with in season 2 probably won't be too ill-conceived, but the fact of the matter is this might as well have been marketed as a split season because this ending is pure bait. I think most people are quite disappointed. I'm with them.

I'm not sure what you mean. We know Art was already alive by seeing him in the evil girl's bedroom earlier, and there was that figure riding up to the boat. Obviously WHY he did it is a mystery, but that's what makes cliffhangers cliffhangers.

The Academy or whatever gave them those codenames.

My first impression of Hamatora (with Episode 1) was very good. I expected a pretty interesting story, lot of fights and well developed characters but I ended really dissapointed. 4/10 for me, the Episode 5 was funny, indeed but I was not expecting such a thing to appear in the series, thought it was more serious, my fault.

I don't get the people going "yay Art is alive." That obviously wasn't Art. When Hamatora is continued and this is confirmed you'll all remember me and think "Wow what a genius that person was, I should send him some money."

This isn't what I wanted.

This is not the ending I asked for.

This is not how I wanted Art to come back [unknowing if he really was going to at all despite foreshadowing.]

I'm so upset and confused and hurt and just why does this have to end on a ToBeContinued BS.

I'm just going to go cry now.

An ok series overall.

Characters were interesting, both personality and design wise, except maybe for the side characters, but what can you do in 12 eps.
Story was solid, even though the last 2-3 eps felt rushed.

Animation was ok-ish, had some drops though.

The OST was ok.

As for the ending, it's not an ending. Idk why ppl get their jimmies rustled.

Will watch a 2nd season, 6/10 for now.

what the actual fuck

show was pretty garbage most of the time and it had it's moments i actually thought the whole lets all send our feelings toward the mc bit was kinda funny

i honestly don't see how this could get a S2 i really think it's gonna be a OVA or something I refuse to believe it! lol

also i was waiting for them to do something with hajime but all she did was eat food the whole season and even when she was pissed off she was still hungry (hell if she'd taken that guys heart and ate that would of been crazy as hell but nope!).

Shitty conclusion to the past couple episodes that have been so amazingly thrilling... I am beyond disappointed. Characters are dull, plot is wasted potential, and... wtf? Art is alive? I honestly don't care enough about the characters to see what happens when Season II airs, such a bullshit copout ending and all Nice had to do was snap his fingers a couple more times to defeat him.

I very rarely post in discussion with this many complaints and stuff, but wow... what-a-trainwreck.

Hamatora the Shitimation is what this anime should have been titled. Oh well, I'll give it a 5/10 for the great animation, OST and Honey.

Still don't completely understand Nice's powers and how he ended up defeating Moral...... >_> I'm guessing Art will be the new antagonist if there is a s2. I hated Moral's dialogue. It was so cheesy, overly preachy, and cliche.


I'm guessing that Moral can vanish from one place and appear at another, but only at a certain speed, so there is still speed involved (even if it seemed that he was vanishing instantly), and Nice thought if he were to surpass Moral's teleporting speed he could beat him. He did so by not letting his Minimum run out of sound he could travel in, that is by always starting the sound waves anew.

You could have looked a few pages back. The singer of the fight song is Granrodeo's vocalist, yes.

I really liked the show up to the end. But a fucking deus ex machina ending? really? thats not a good way to end a story since all the viewers feel cheated.
anyway this is a 7/10 though it might be upgraded to 9/10 if the next season rescues this trainwreck of an ending properly.

now is nice dead? its unlikely that they'll switch mc for the second season since this would quite be a stunt where you really need to be etsablished to pull this off without loosing a lot of readers/viewers.

WOW. I was happy to see that Art was alive, but that ending was unexpected.

Honestly I saw this ending coming the moment Art walked in.

I knew that Art wasn't going to be normal after all that time. I was just caught off guard by how it ended after that scene.

That was exactly my feeling.
But today, I was looking at Hamatora merch at a shop and looked at a Nice key-ring and had a feeling he'd end up like that. but didn't really expect Art to do it.

Wow, I didn't see this final moment coming. The best part is that it means continuation. I really hope it's gonna be S2 and not a movie. I was crying during the OP because of the thought that this is the last episode.


1. Characters. +1. There are some quite enjoyable characters(Rei, Theo, Gasquet, Art), and of course some great ones - like Murasaki, Birthday and Hajime(my favorites). Mao is also my favorite, lololololo :D
2. Atmosphere. +1. It was ok/good for the most time, and great at times.
3. OST. +1. One of the best OPs ever, great ED, and at least one great theme(the piano one, I'm waiting the OST release because of it) - it made some of the most atmospheric moments.
4. Animation. +1. Needless to say, the animation quality was ace.
5. Background story. +1. Birthday's background, Art's background, Three's background to some extend, and the whole Facultas Academy background.
6. Storyline. +1. There was actual storyline that was slowly progressing with the episodes without having much presence for the most time. I think that's not bad as it, together with the ludicrous cases Hamatora was solving, made the anime have more of an easy feel in difference with Darker than Black, for an example.
7. Ending. +1. For me the ending is the best one possible(I didn't even hope for it). It was totally unexpected, really dramatic and the best part for me is that it allowed 2nd season of the anime, and this is like the best thing ever.
8. Drama. +1. An actually good level of drama in my opinion.
9. Overall affect. +1. It was a good show, with decent amount of about everything I'd want from a show. Mystery, drama, villains, psychic powers. I'm expecting the next season(don't you dare to make it a movie) eagerly.
Overall score: 9/10. One of the shows I've really enjoyed these last few years.
