Lmao, nice tail.

Honey was alright in this episode I suppose, offering hope. Can't believe kids got involved with the troubles though. Three is awesome imo from the episode as he tries to save the kids. What a beast. I think Moral's next stage in the plan is set now...not good. I really hope someone deals with his shit soon.

That guy with monster's face's memory. Orphans from the war. He did to punish himself. Commandator, another power user, wanting him to be his image, the killer.

Floral lady/ex-programmer... she sounds like Ogata-san. So she's with that enemy.

Wow, so many of fake minimum holders already created?

I liked this episode for the simple fact that I got to learn more about Three. I am somewhat hopeful for the next episode as there is a chance that events may start to come to a head. I really wish they would Tell us what happened to Art's body. I had hoped he would live some how but the chance of that is falling fast.

I thought I was the only one who thought he's a bad character. Bad as in cringe-worthy, not evil. And then you see people comparing him to Makishima Shougo. Oh please lol.

Lol. There is no such thing as "evil" in anime if you don't count parodies.

Well that was some interesting background. It has some funny parts too, but the background takes the cake.

That and something that I never bothered to think about. If we consider this mercenary guy as one of Morel's subjects (which I believe to be true since he was aware of the entire ordeal).

Then it just goes to show how Morel and HIS customers can be just as insane, and that says quite something.

Well nice that we get a backstory for Three but with only three (hurr hurr) episodes left it's not exactly moving the main plot along except maybe for the last 2 seconds.

I don't like how this show makes everything feel like filler save those last few seconds of an episode.


Also, the kid asking to touch Honey's boob was so fucking random and unneeded.
I hate when random characters in unexpected moments do that.

Three is so loveable!

It really pains me to see Nice going on as if Art is still alive. Gettin' real tired of your shit, Moral!

Is Master ever going to show his true power, or is he just going to stand behind the bar and grind coffee all day...everyday?

First Moral revealed his true intentions, which made me lose a lot of respect in him as a villain, and now we get this crap? "I know, I'll make amends for my past mistakes through needless self-sacrifice, which will only make things worse for the orphans! I'm a fucking genius!"

Moral is the main reason I'm still watching this..

I hate this show more each passing week, this is the among the worst this season and was only salvaged by the fact that there are others like Mahou Sensou, Z/X Ignition, and Nobunaga the Fool which are worse than this .. how this has 7.55 rating (as of now) is beyond me.

Every week there's almost no real progress on the main plot and usually that'd be fine if they haven't teased on the juicy parts on the last part of every week. It made the episode that we just watched feel redundant. I can't help but think that the writers don't know what to do with (or maybe lazy to expand) the main plot and instead put the fillers just to fill out 20 minutes.

This episode in itself isn't bad but this is the kind of thing they should've shown right after they introduced Three and Honey (you know instead of filling it with that gay robbers episode and last week's idiotic beach tournament).

this episode was rushed but nothing really happened plot wise. the show is like a giant filler especially after what happened in episode 7. this show's got bad pacing. the writers are gonna rush the ending and turn it into a huge mess. at least, that's what it seems like

Isn't it about time they realise Art is dead? Getting pretty tired of Moral. I find his character to be very lame and full of annoying little antics.

Three's back story wasn't bad but it was rushed. It's good that they develop the characters but with only 3 more episodes to go...I thought the priority would be to get the main plot moving. Instead we get filler after filler...

And honestly, Hajime has done nothing so far.
I know she'll probably have a big role at the end but damn...she's been useless for 9 whole episodes now.

This show is getting frustrating.

I started and marathoned this anime last week and after waiting for a new episode, can't say I'm not dissapointed at how the series is ending up (especially since I loved the first few episodes).
This kind of pacing would be great/fine if this was a 26 episode series, but for 12 episodes, they're wasting a lot of time that could be spent on fleshing out the main story.

About the episode though; Three is cool and all, but I would've liked backstory on another character that's been around longer if we're going to have all this filler (Hajime, Koneko, Master, the information broker, etc).

My thoughts exactly. Should really cut this stuff out if it's only 12 episodes. This is exactly why K failed as a series.

Eh, best part was "Can I touch your boobies!?"... just because of how random it was. Other than that, this episode wasn't really a very good twist imo... I think it would've been better without the whole orphanage bit and if they just made it where Three was protecting Honey to atone for his sins. Training these kids to kill him is pretty stupid, and pointlessly fucked up... I don't really get what good he thinks it would do anybody to make them all into murderers... especially when he even admits that it's wrong.
"I killed these kids' parents, so I'm going to turn them into killers and die ashamed."

It's becoming laughably predictable that Moral basically ends every episode with "MUAHAHAHAHA~! I'm going to doing something dastardly in the last episode!". I feel like he's going to be a really disappointing villain in the end, just due to all this build-up... and of course the fact that there's only 3 more episodes left.

Wondering that myself, I had always thought/hoped he was an actual cat-man, since Koneko has a tail. Now things are starting to make less sense.

Agreed.

The everyday life of the Hamatora's. Don't tell me they are bringing the plot into the second season? If so I am so dropping this shit. Three's backstory is decent, but.. that's it. I just want to plot to move along, it's moving so slowly.. -.-

Lord forgive me for staining this topic with my post, but I must confess that this episode was LAAAAAME!!

Hamatora can't handle drama, the previous episode was miles better than this one(full of LOL moments) because it chose the genre Hamatora is more comfortable with. This is probably one of the primary reasons no one's figured out that Art was murdered, the writer had no idea how to convey the emotion. So I suppose in a way Nice is the perfect character for a writer like ours truly, he doesn't react to anything and my guess is when the time comes he'll take it in stride(though there's always a chance his eyes will widen with shock). And what's up with the cases? How come they're so effing monotonous? I don't feel even the least bit interested in them.

Anyway, back to the episode, while the content itself was below average(two fanboy-centric episodes is one too many in a single cour detective show), the last scene was... intriguing. It appears that Makishima has distributed his helmets(it's a metaphor btw, if you don't get it) and the way these final three episodes go will play a big part in determining Hamatora's worth. So I hope Moral has some big plans instead of just being I'M Moral(*insert evil/crazy laughter*).
