What.

Hamatora had so much potential. The opening and endings were great, the animation (in the first few episodes) and style were great, the side characters were great, the concept was interesting.. but then it turned into a wreck. Had I not seen the latter half of the series, Hamatora would have received a much higher score from me.

4.5/10. (Birthday and 'Flat:' I'm sorry. I love you both so much, though.)

PS. Am I the only one who really dislikes Nice? Get your OP ass out of here. (Well, I guess that /did/ happen..)

Lol this is so bad.. especially a cliffhanger ending like that. First of all, how did Moral reacts to the speed of sound? If he couldn't, then how did he dodge Nice's attack? The comedy in the middle of the fight was really misplaced. Hajime was said to be second only to Nice, right? Then what about the glasses dude, Murasaki? I thought that he was the best before Nice appeared? Then there was this flashback of Birthday and Ratio, and another flashback of Honey and the other children with special powers, it was mentioned that they were studying/learning in this "special power" school/facility, but in the flashback of Ratio and Birthday, weren't they in normal school? I don't want to waste time to watch the sequel, but at the same time, I want confirmation of what happened to Art.

I really have mixed feelings for this anime. There were parts I quite dislike as well as there were parts I liked and found to be good. I didn't really want to watch Season 2 but now I have to considering how it ended >.>
Hmm...now I wonder if it is really Art or if something happened to him after Moral tried to kill him.

This was a decent run overall (excluding the ending).
The animation quality was a bit weird, like those rusted parts on darker backgrounds, has anyone noticed that?
The OST was fitting, but nothing amazing.
The OP was great.

- Overall 7/10.

WOW. O__________O I was happy to see that Art being alive, but that ending was unexpected. But... i just have that feeling that an "unexpected" might happen because of how they act... What a twist!

But, but, but... when Art pointed the gun at Nice's head... somewhere in my mind.. Honey just appeared to me O_______________O Maybe, just MAYBE that Nice had already saw what was going to happen in the future and then maybe in that future, he saw Art came back alive and then Art will kill him... so maybe that's why.. :D In the season2 , Nice won't be dead and he's still alive. HAHA, just a thought! XD

Ha, I sensed a bullshit ending coming from the start of this episode for some reason. Maybe it was the random robot inclusion I don't know. Also had a feeling that was Art driving out there on that boat... which disappointed me a bit that he was still alive, but I'm slightly less disappointed since he wasn't the same.

I'm guessing they're either gonna justify that end as either he truly hated Nice all this time for having a Minimum, or they did something to him.

Lol, this.

Really didn't want a sequel, this series to me was very mediocre at best. I honestly would've preferred it ending like it did without a sequel. But now that they had to say "To Be Continued" I kind of want to know what's going to happen. I get the feeling that I'll like the second season less... because to only thing that had my interest even slightly piqued is Moral. And even he was kind of a disappointment.

...No please.I was so happy that it was going to be last episode of Hamatora and i can finally finish it, cause i was getting tired of all the bs, but they say that i'll have to watch another season of this to finish story? what the.
Ok so, im being really generous - because of last 2 episodes which made me thinking ''what now?'' i will give this 6/10.If it wasnt for those episodes, it would get 4/10.

Sigh.

Ugh, but really. The series started out well, but there were too many fillers, and the last episode was surely rushed and some parts unreasonable. If it had spent less time on the fillers, the plot could have elaborated much better; hopefully the next season won't be much of a disappointment, assuming that one will learn from their mistakes . . .

The series had potential with it's premise (kinda Durarara x Darker than Black) but instead of being some awesome mixture of the two it ended up being an all round mediocre series with a few "shock factor" moments thrown in now and again to try and make people forget about the mediocrity. Plus I really hated the colour scheme.

Less than 0% chance that Nice is dead, but I guess we're getting a second season. Maybe they'll get their shit together.....tho I doubt it.

Well, maybe Art's actions are somehow connected to that thing Moral whispered to Art before he "died", perhaps? Maybe it's even connected to his brother as well.

That end created a lot of suspense!!!

I looked forward to seeing Nice against Moral and it turned out be pretty decent. So the plan was to punish those who think they are superior to other people by using Hibiki's minimum to take their hearing away from them. Teleportation is the so called 'Type 0 Minimum' that was stolen in the police quarters. Well I kind of expected that having two minimums would be dangerous and the side effect came out a lot sooner than I thought but Nice was a lot more calmer after being reminded by Murasaki about him being himself.

Nice caught on to the trick when he constantly flicked his fingers and defeated Moral although it seems like he was being risky by doing so as he seemed quite tired after the attack. His abililty really is powerful and he definitely has one of the best ones being the number one rank. That ending was surprising with Art (if that really was him) killing Moral and I knew something was strange but I wonder who that Art as it could have been really him having a motive or maybe another impostor!? Surely it can't be the end for Nice and I wonder if Moral noticed whether that was art or someone else!?

Overall I liked this series a lot and reminded me of 'To Aru Majutsu no Index' with the ability concepts but it reminded me of the TV series 'Heroes' with the extracting brain procedures to take the abilities/minimum away from someone. Nevertheless, the characters were brilliantly planned and a decent amount of story was taken place for a one cour show. I must say that the animation was very good showing the effects of these minimum abilities which was particularly well seen in this episode.

Can't wait to see the second season which has already been confirmed at the preview scene.

Final Scores:

Art/Animation: 9/10
Story/Plot: 9/10
Characters: 9.5/10
Music: 9/10
Overall Score: 9/10

Episode Rating: 5/5

I mean, it's definitely a possibility but... nah, I think it was actually Art and it had something to do with whatever Moral told Art right before he "killed" him. And I'm willing to bet it's related to Art's brother, and also the reason why Nice left the academy.

Confused on how a lot of people like this anime..terrible flow and direction, the animation is extremely cheap and the majority of the time we are staring at people standing still. I also don't like the need of rainbow colors for every battle, it looks dumb imo. The characters are extremely under developed but woah second season. My reaction to the to be continued was literally "Ew" because I wanted it to end. Now I have to watch season 2.

4/10

Well, plot's good but poor execution.

Just when the buil-dup was getting good, then boom they give you a non-serious moment.
Oh well, I guess you could compare that to life. Everything is not always that serious even if serious things are happening already.

I felt like I was Sherlocked but instead of waiting for 2 years for another season, I only have to wait for Summer season.

And who knows, maybe Art had a hidden minimum or something like resurrection minimum asdfhsdafgarg that's why he was able to graduate from Facultas.

Yeah probably, Nice's minimum actived after being shot, or probably this is still Morel's doing, and brainwashed him. I dunno. I wonder if his dead brother is related to this? We never got to know anything about it.

Anyway, you know what, I fairly liked it. 7/10
Looking forward to the second season.

I think this would turn into scene from Batman where Harvey Dent(Art) would become corrupted by Joker(Moral)

We know that Art from the beginning was jelaous from the fact that he couldn't develop powers, of course he tried to keep surpass this anger and hate inside. Harvey Dent also from the start had mental problems, but he was trying to be stronger to surpass them. However, the momment Joker made his move he lost mental stability completely.

I guess Moral wanted sb to carry his legacy so he has done sth to influence Art to break this inner barrier that Art was trying to put on himself from losing control over his hatred.

The last two episodes rescued the whole series (aside from Art's death or is it?) for me. It kinda leaves the impression of "What the heck is going on" in a good way. To enter the bandwagon from the previous posts, the series kinda reminds me of Get Backers. Even their HQ is in a cafe! How similar is that.

The series has a lot of potential, even if the story isn't that original, only to be ruined by bad story progression. The characters are likable to some degree but their development, aside from Nice and Art IMO, is lacking.

I think you got the point. I have mixed emotions with this series so 7.5/10 for my pending rating. I do hope so that they do a better job at season 2 as the events are starting to become interesting (just read the fan fictions going on up there).

Yeah, the story really has a potential, but the execution was not that good, still, I enjoyed this Anime as it is.

THAT CLIFFHANGER THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So I'm guessing that Art's minimum is immorality? That's why he wasn't able to discover it in the academy, because he has to get killed to realise his minimum.

I understand why Art would kill Moral, but why would he shoot Nice?

Please tell me that Nice "sonics" out at the last moment. Nice can't die!!!

Season 2 soon please!!!

I figured I'd finish the season since I had like 3 episodes left. Don't know why people can even like this. While it started out well, it quickly went down hill. The pacing and story are horrible, which sadly destroys any character development.

I had rated this as a 5, but I'm moving it down to a 4 or 3, haven't made up my mind to which just yet.

Not even going to bother watching the next season.

BTW, it is obvious that Moral did something to Art, why else would he keep him alive.

Can someone explain how Nice was able to beat Moral? If Moral was truly able to be "everywhere and nowhere", then it shouldn't have mattered how fast Nice was going...felt very deus ex machina

Tons of stuff that was nonsensical or went unexplained in this season. (I don't mean the stuff with Art and Hajime because those were obviously meant to be cliffhangers and there was enough setup for them.) But I'll still be watching season 2

I thought I will see Hajime's full power, but she is just really hungry.
Moral has two minimum, transformation and teleport, yet Nice still won. Awesome OST during the fight.
Lol when Nice get pissed of from the messages. Hahah
Art came out of nowhere and just shot Moral and Nice, just like what I thought.
It's good that it says "To be continued" because I can't take an ending with a cliffhanger like that.
I better watch the sequel right now.

I actually didn't think the main story was bad, it held my interest and kept me wanting to watch more of that arc, the fillers are what really killed this show and my attitude about the story until the main arc picked up again. Knowing that the 2nd season is just about over, i think i can let the fillers slide

Not sure how much I like that ending, guess I'll have to watch the 2nd season to find out! The last few episodes were really good, but the constant filler in the middle really made this series drag. Hopefully there'll be less filler coming up. Good series overall, with a really nice OST in that final battle.

Damn Hajime-chan really trolled me there.
The censors were quite distracting but oh well.. can't get my hands on the blu-ray.
Not a bad fight overall.. although the forbidden minimum was somewhat underwhelming for me.
The characters are the winning points for me in this anime.. damn cool.
Off to the second season.. and welcome back Art.

this. I waited patiently for a dozen episodes, all for her to faint when the time came!? When she started mumbling about being hungry, I thought her power was Gluttony, though that would have been awesome!!!

and did Art lose it or something when Moral shot him so many times. because it makes absolutely no sense as to why he would kill(or try to kill) Nice. Then again if Nice dies, my hopes for Hamatora will improve greatly! :)

Pretty cliffhanger ending if you ask me but knowing there is a second season sure makes up for it! This first season sure was interesting, with quite an intense case by case story and overall plot till the end. I'm now looking forward to see what the next season will have to offer us! All in all this anime sure was fun to watch.

i expected to have a fight that lasted at least 1 minute, darn you.

i know everyone is up and arms about haijime but there IS a S2. maybe you'll see more of her. i don't have much faith, though.

darn you moral i couldn't care less about your freaking ideals. you've repeated it at least 4x already.
and nice???? how on earth could you get around moral's power????

that text thing was corny as heck but funny as well, however it was extremely misplaced. MAYBE murasaki should have been there...i dunno it would have been 2% better if he wasn't.

the most i have to say is that it's an average anime. i was so disappointed there was no action and the reason why i was expecting it is because the powers in the show kinda would give the action writers A TON OF RANGE to use them, instead of reking average humans or humans that newly have powers and are insanly immature in it and trying to make the protags look epic. seriously.

i literally screamed when i saw art, and was shocked of course. however nice isn't in that much trouble, since as soon as the gun hit his head, he'd have all the time in the world to snap his fingers. i see that the ending is a mixing bag between people, but i like it.

there's also the rumor of art turning out to be a twin. that means he has to dress and wear his hair exactly like him, as well? well, maybe it was just for disguise....i had a feeling he wasn't gone anyway.

i also see that art is the fan fave or at least one of them, no? i also have the cat girl as my fave.

6/10 is how i rate average anime, and that's only if there's something in it i truely like, which is the powers and the ending credits that have the kids versions of the MCs, and my love of the OP, as well as the detective feel of it. it's been a while since i've looked at a detective-like series. there are a lot of unanswered questions here, which also gives it a 6. i hope to have them answered in S2 even if they are terrible, which they probably will be.

if someone said this was downright terrible or just ok i'd agree with either. iv'e never felt so empty about an anime in my life.

an anime like this in twenty-forteen? severly dissapointed in you japan....

Naruto and his rasengan tornado... pffft. Robots..... pfffft. The wrath of 10-year loan.... pffft.

Hajime's exposure was such a let-down... My favorite part of this episode is definitely the texts. I liked how everyone was turning sentimental (scoffing while this showed up) and sending texts and Nice just throws it all away. Seems like Nice-kun isn't so nice, after-all.

Nice kicking Moral's ass... how did he do that? Oh well. Art is back! But why?! Onto the next season, then.

Torn between a 6 and a 7. Last episodes saved the show for me, but hmm........
