| So I waited to watch this and boy was I shocked when I did. Episode was first class. But omg, my favorite character Art. And for anyone who said that they might bring him back as a bad guy, I feel the same. And I have been thinking for a while that his minimum may be first rate. After Moral whispered in his ear, I think I may be right. He will probably somehow be revived with actualized minimum being comparable to Nice. If so, may the animators not try to be super cool or laid back with something like headphones. Art is the REAL cool character and protagonist for me. He is a natural without gimmicks. Also, remember they have invested a lot of time in Art's character development and screen time in relation to the plot. Whether he is really dead, I don't know but that stab wound and gunshots....eesh!! He'll be back. Plus, Moral's idea of 'good deed' is screwed so we should take it as the opposite of what you and me would view it. |

parfaited said: AsherFischell said: I hate villains whose entire reasoning is based on them being obsessed with the main character and then doing bad things in order to be their equal. It's just such a shitty rationale that always feels more like a copout than anything else. Yeah I hate this villain exactly for this. Good episode though, my faith in this is restored! Certainly made up for all the onsen nonsense a little while back. Thank the heavens the art in the graveyard scene was drawn nicely. (unintentional puns there...) They were probably saving the budget for this. Yep. I still liked Moral up until this ep. Sure he was sick and twisted but after abusing Art in his last moment, trampled on his ego, his talents, his friendship, his pride, and to top it, literally, on Art's hand. Ticked me off. Amazing scene. Best of the series. I could say, so far, but nothing else touches anywhere near this. Moral needs to die. But on the same level, his corny @as reasoning. I don't care about Nice. Why did Art have to die for that guy? Save Nice from loneliness? Not sure of his age but he lives like a grown man! A job with close collegues taking potentially life threatening cases. And he need some researcher when he was what? 5, holding his hand. Moral, I knew, was delusional, but now he is just dumb. Not cool at all. |

| Art became a victim of the dreaded white-haired-anime-boy-best-friend curse ;~; That was so sad... |
| Oh. My. God. Definitely did not anticipate that ending. Art felt like a pretty vital character for the show so feels weird that they'd kill him off so soon. I do not see a way out of this though, not unless they pulled some kind of miraculous wonder with him unlocking a super saiyan-minimum but that would also remove the impact of his death. The way this scene was done simply felt so...final. Was really praying for him to pick up that cellphone and get Nice to come there but in the end he didn't even get to say as much as a word. So horrible and sad. The preview for next episode made it seem like it's going to be some kind of cheerful beach episode, sounded similar to something akin to a filler. Not sure how I feel about that considering what just happened, right now I just want to know what's going to happen next. |
| noooooooooooo ART I was sure they'll manage to save him. So it's that kind of anime. |
 |
| all of a sudden this show really grew on me |
| Damn didn't think they'd kill Art. Even the end I thought he'd survive ..... until he shot him repeatedly. That looked about as final as it gets. Time for Nice to get some payback. This did remind me of Psycho Pass a lot. Just more colorful. |
 |
| OH MY GOD, NOOOOOO ;_____________; |
 |
| dead art |
| Cty Best mid |
| I'm wishing that Art will gain some minimum that will make him alive somehow T^T. MAL says he's one of the main char so this gave me hope that he will surely be alive in the upcoming episodes! :'( |

stellar24 said: I am reading through script behind Art (Ending of episode 1). I can read "fake Art", "Moral Dressed...", "(8 episode later) it will disappear". Oh God! who can decipher that script that seems like spoiler? AAAHHH YOU'RE RIGHT!!! Gee, I've never thought of reading the background script, I thought the writing was just nonsense in English to make it look cool... So Art will definitely be faked by Moral, huh... Poor Art. What a tragic end for him... I also read "genius" behind Nice, and "key of the story" behind Hajime. About Nice being a genius has been mentioned in Episode 3 or 4 by Moral, and about Hajime... I've always had the feeling that she IS the main key of the story. |
| AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFGWTFORZ, go fuck yourself Moral!!!! T^T |
| ARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT T_T i didn't think he was actually going to die... :( |
| That was a pretty grim scene, but it was well-done. . Aaaaatoooooo T_T Haha, I love that nickname, Nice-body-ojou-chan |
 |
| That ending was very nicely done. |
| This episode... before I watched it, I was fully expecting Art to meet Moral somehow, get a minimum so he could be as strong as Nice and become the main villain alongside Moral (btw I lote the guy's name its so ironic). Boy, how wrong I was. Art, you might be gone, but I will remember you as one of the most badass characters to stay on the good side even when tempted by promises of power you were denied. Now I can only hope Nice kills Moral as viciously as he murdered Art. |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| No. :( Why does it have to character I like the most in the show. |
| allo |
| Wasn't expecting any deaths in this show. Dang. |
| that was unexpected... anyway my faith in this anime has been restored.. never mind the crappy colors this might turn to be good.. |
 |
| Damn, that ending was intense! I feel so bad for Art now, I'm still shocked about it. Great version of the ending song though. |
| Somehow I have a gut feeling Art might come back utilizing the power of his new-found Minimum power... ...or not XD But the series certainly got way more interesting with this episode =X |
| I love all the people saying this show sucked but after a main character died they like it now. Does everyone on MAL really like edgy death filled bullshit that much? That said this show is the surprise hit of the season. |
PrimeX said: that was unexpected... anyway my faith in this anime has been restored.. never mind the crappy colors this might turn to be good.. This is what I mean. Dude complains about the anime having bright colors, then says a character dying restored his faith. You are just a bundle of darkness arent you? |
| Can't believe Art is dead! I am shocked, didn't see that coming!!! =/ I wonder if Moral (die! die!) will use Art face now =/ |
 |
| ART noo...! T-T rip The ending music was good but really sad, |
 |
| HOLY FUCK, did that just happened? Art received few gunshots and a stab.. just wow.. and the ending song that was playing in the background, wow.. that was amazing, and really sad. The man who slept with few idol girls was retarded, and so are the girls and their fans, but well, that's how the real world rolls. |

| that photo he had in his hand was that Kirino from Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai? |
| noooo why you kill him ;( |
 |
| Oh god. My eyes were welling up with tears. And near the end I probably went 'noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' on the inside. |
| That ending >.< I didn't expect Arts death at all. |
 |
| I DID NOT AGREE FOR THAT ENDING i was spoiled that someone will die but i didnt expect it to be Art, i really liked him, i didnt want him to die and now im just sad because the ending was sad and all i can think about is how sad that ending was |
| no signature because im too lazy to make one |
| whoa whoa whoa whoa.... in b4 Art has immortality ability good shit though... |
 |
| Moral and Gasquet is the same person. Why did that have to happen?? Poor Art :( Maybe his power is he can revive or something. Hamatora is nothing without Art. I'm curious about what Moral said to Art. |
antipurefaith said: that photo he had in his hand was that Kirino from Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai? Yeah, that's what I thought too. Looks like her |
| About Art |
| Art has a serious complex.. not that I don't understand. Hahaha.. Hajime-chan sharing her food with Nice is cute lol. Erkk.. another jerk hitting on idols this time. This anime like using the sexual theme a lot. By the way.. Kirino spotted !! Hah she's been doing something naughty XD Holy oh my gosh... that tragic ending ah darn. Intense !! |
| Good episode, poor Art though, He isn't my favorite character but he has Araragis's voice so I kind of like him at the end ;-; |
 |
| Oh boy that ending :/ Pretty nice episode in general as I like the current development! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| i didn't really know how much i apreciated such a warmhearted guy until art's murder. still in denial about it D: it was rather stupid, however, for less than 7 minutes before, he'd been strong enough to topple three. if they were gonna make him go out, why not with a bang? i was totally expecting him to battle moral and prove he's not weak. the scene with three turned out to be useless.... |
 |
| That ending was dark.... |
