COME ON, Hama. You'll piss me off until the end.
For everyone asking for a 2nd season, ain't you for getting that it's a mixed project, and that there is also a 3DS game incoming. I believe this will be the sequel.
About the episode...
-Oh, come on. Stop trying to be light hearted and dark at the same time, Hamatora. It doesn't work.
-The forbidden minimum power was pretty cool after all. The final fight reminded me a bit of a Dio vs Jojo in Stardust Crusaders, even though the execution feels rushed.
-Hey, thanks for nothing, Uselessjime!
-And God, this ending... Why this ending? WHY???
I shall edit my review this Friday to speak fondly of what I consider to be the first true disappointment of this year.
Edit : WORST. EVIL ROBOT DESIGN. EVAH.

my favorite character was art. AND WOW. i am like speechless.
I'm guessing that probably isn't Art for some reason. He normally
holds his guns with two hands but he was only using one hand at
the end. It might just be me thinking too much lol.

STILLL YYYY ART YYYY. I NEED SEASON 2 RIGHT NOW ;A;

If anyone noticed it or not
During the ending song Hamatora Ep. 12 @ 22:09, images of them appeared but in Ep. 1 - 11 shows nothing

Correct me if Im wrong from left is Art then Murasaki then Nice ?

If Murasaki is in the middle then its kinda weird with a sudden changed of personality

If not then its Art's brother ?

I liked the characters but overall, it could have been better.

Given the jacket, I'm assuming it's Art's brother?
I was expecting an inconclusive ending because they couldn't have wrapped up all the loose ends in one episode. A bit infuriated at the cliffhanger, but I'm invested enough into the series to watch season 2, just to see how everything ends. :\

Reading the comments, it seems that too many people are treating this episode as an ending. To me, that's the wrong sentiment to have here. We're only halfway through the story, and another chapter had a cliffhanger. Overall, I enjoyed the show so far (8/10). I'm not going to let one chapter (episode) like this bring down the total score so much (as I saw in the previous pages).

Is it confirmed? This being a mixed-media project could just mean that the continuation is in another medium, like manga, LN or game.
I probably regret this post by now.

I thought the animation was pretty bad in this anime too, maybe if they shows the fast version of fights then the slow version of it probably would of made the fights more bad-ass but the concept was pretty interesting though

YES Hajime-chan needs more screen time, I'm curiosity about her power plus she's cool so

Didn't really have a "last episodish" feel to it at all, though quite understandable if this is gonna be continued anyways, so this was only a part of a whole :P

This was good enough to keep me semi-interested about a second season :)

OMG, didn't see that one coming, specially since Art's seemed to have come to terms with his lack of a Minimun hability. Though when he came with that gentle-psycho look it was kinda obvious wich course the scene was going to take xD

Maybe he found a way to deactivate a Minimun and that's why he tried to shoot Nice? Ok, lame theory.

A second season would be nice, there's a lot of plot material to develop (other characters' pasts and habilities, Facultas academy and Nice's circumstances... etc), looking forward to it.

Just because it says "to be continued" doesn't mean that its confirmed to actually be continued. Like Higashi said, it could be continued with the game/etc. Anyway, this series started off decent, but was terrible in the middle and terrible in the end. 4/10

Whoa! You can't end the season with that kind of cliffhanger!!! I'll die!! Art, what the fuck are you doing?!

Glad Moral is dead. He stopped making sense two episodes ago.

I would've loved to have seen Hajime go berserk a little longer. Hopefully, the second season will show us more of that.

Season 2 should also have more Ratio!!

In a earlier post a picture was posted showing Nice, Art and Arts brother. It was also pointed out on how Art shoots with both of his hands

Could it be possible that the guy in the end wasn't really art? It was his brother? No information has been given ( at least none that I can recall) on Arts brother and how he died or if his body was even found.

Its also a good point to bring up the time that Moral whispered in Arts ear. Is it possible that Moral did some type of an experiment concerning the two brothers?

I was thinking about it what was the true purpose of killing art if he doesn't need to kill someone to take their form ( as seen with the old inspector guy). Honestly after cooling down and thinking about it. The end of this episode leaves me with many questions. And when it comes down to it. I don't think that guy in the end was Art. Especially since moral kept saying art was dead. Unless a previous post was right and the girl helping out Moral actually didn't do what Moral asked.

With all that said I am excited for the second season. Does anyone know how to look up for get ahold of that type of info when its released?
Btw I don't believe Nice is dead. We never actually saw the shooting ( tho it was implied) Nice could have reacted in time

Decent series. The series was seriously lacking development and proper explanation of their powers. Like whats Ratio real ability? The eye? if so whats with that golden arm thingy. Needed to tell the backstory how Art's brother too.

Ost's were ok, especially love the beat of Nice's headphones. OP and ED were nth impressive though.

Why make us wait for another season? They should have just ended it in one season.

I don't really want a second season but.. I'll watch it just to see what happened to Art. At least they should make the sequel much better than this one.

I liked the anime overall, it kept my interest, and it didnt really have any points I can remember that were bad. However, I think cliffhanger endings completely ruin everything, and to be honest that is a very shitty cliffhanger ending. If I wanted to be this confused by cliffhangers, I'd just watch Lost again.

Moral is so annoying seriously... Thanks God, he got smacked, not that I am fond of Nice-kun either but at least he did the job. Moral is a big M, nothing else.

So Art is alive? What the hell just happened?

Seaso 2? Thanks but no thanks, I had enough.

6/10 coz the show was promising for the first half.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAME. <--This pretty much sums up what I have to say about the series as a whole.

Predictable as hell, I was expecting Art to turn out to be evil somehow..

That being said I will probably try out the next season...

So this is a split-cour? Seems like almost every anime is split-cour now.

5/10 and I am being generous with that lame ass finale.

Wow, I can't believe they ended the last episode like that. I need a conclusion ASAP.

Started out as a cool show with interesting mysteries and an underlying big plot. But as time went on, they threw in filler episodes (specifically the gay idol and beach tournament ep) which were really pointless in a one cour show, and then they threw in random side character-centric episodes (like Three's ep) which were okay but not good for a one cour show.......

Anyway, I would rant more but I gotta finish the other Thursday shows. TLDR: Had potential as well as a nice style but major pacing issues, clustered execution and filler ruined it. Lack of good characters or development. Also, I couldn't take this show seriously because it was trying to be funny and light when it should have been focusing on the underlying plot. Plus, I didn't like the villain at all.

Will watch sequel for sure. I didn't dislike this show. It was still a nice ride.

i bet what Moral said to Art is that all of his doing is being funded by his twin brother.

I don't think an ex-researcher have all the necessary fund to do all of his operation thingy.

well, the producer show a glimpse of hajime power so maybe the protag in S2 will be Hajime and some of her past with Nice kun ?? and also, the reason Nice kun dropped out from the academy is still not explained so maybe there is connection with what happen to art twin brother?? and possible with how he close to Hajime?? and i wonder even hajime is an academy student because she have normal name for a japanese (or Hajime as Beginning??) while the other students have english code name.

well, either there will be S2 or another from of continuation for this series only time will tell

Pretty sure the hacker lady helped Art recover.There was a scene where she was next to a bed in her house with someone that seemed to be Art.

I think Art wants to kill Nice since he thinks he is very similar Moral. Hence why he didn't want them to meet. So to avoid the same craziness with Moral, he kills Nice as a precaution.

That or hacker lady hacks arts brain.

There is also whatever Moral told Art just before he shot him 5 times. What ever he told him might have made him want to kill Nice.

I think the reason why Art wants to kill Nice because he has his brother's brain/minimum power. I believe Art's brother couldn't activate his powers so Moral kills him and places it in Nice. Since Nice had the top scores. With Art brother's brain in him, that also transferred his personality too maybe? Both dress the same way.

The only good thing I found about this episode was when when everyone was texting Nice to not give up and he threw his phone away. And the fighting scenes.

What the heck was up with that ending?!?! I expected Art to come back and for Moral to die(Thank Goodness!), but not to kill Nice(Maybe...).

Considering how the anime was going downhill from when Art died, they've could have at least ended happily to please fans. But no, Hamatora gets a cliffhanger.

I don't want to watch Season 2 because they are really dragging this on. But I want to see why Art is acting this way and killing the protagonist(Maybe...), so meh for me.

So I wait an entire season for Hajime to do something and she gets 2 seconds!

Cliffhanger ending but not sure if I care enough to watch another season/continuation.
I do want to know the deal with Art though.

Started off promising but ended up being mediocre. It has some good moments but it was overall too roundabout and dragged out. Took forever to get to the main plot and when it did, it was rushed.
The end felt very fast.

Poor execution killed it. 6/10.
