LOL, that magazine cover. I almost had to face palm myself.

I notice how this season goes with lighthearted moments at first and then escalates what it tries to do. I don't think that works well much considering I could barley take some of the parts seriously. Oh poor Honey. The ending was priceless..

Ugh, it seems that Hamatora is suffering from the second season curse, more than I already thought.

Even though I had a ton of laughs at this episode, it was still a huge waste. The build up in the previous episode was completely ruined. They could've used the time for character developement. I know that comedy plays a part in this anime, but why focus the entire episode on that aspect, when there is lack on more important things? The haunted hallway part of the episode was totally boring and not funny at all.

I was happy to see that Murasaki was still alive, but not in that matter. The next episode looks promising though, we finally get to see Hajime's backstory.

Poor Murasaki, he may have survived the 'FreeMum's" but not his friends's fumblings, now who the fuck is that lady who is with Art?

I liked this episode a lot! It was a good breather from all the serious episodes we've had. Im over the moon that Murasaki is alive, it would've been cool if he still had his minimum but i sorta guessed he'd lose it, im sure he'll still be of massive use to the broke detective duo Hamatora. Stoked for some of Hajime's back story next episode though!

HAMATORA TROLLING LEVEL: IT'S OVER 9000

...I have a bad feeling that Momoka is the true antagonist of Hamatora... and that Moral is not really dead... (considering that already 3 characters were "dead")

HAHAHA haven't laughed like that for a while
Murasaki has to have died at least 4 times during that ep.
those magazines lol

But yes, I do have to agree that was extremely pointless.

Giving flowers to Hajime-chan at the end there.. and saying that it's all her fault.. huh?
Hm, maybe Hajime is going to have a bigger role to play now. if so, YESSSSS.

Yay! Murasaki is alive! :D

Ratio should really put that remote somewhere safe or Murasaki will really die. XD

Looks like Hajime will have a really big role next episode. I wonder why Art call her the Sleeping Princess?

Birthday's Lemon-san outfit was hilarious. Ratio should've joined him with Duke Orange outfit too!
Those magazines though.. Birthday has some good tastes!

Honey casually calling Murasaki a masochist was pretty funny. Well, she stated the reason too so can't argue with that.
Never get tired of seeing Loli-Honey. :3 . She regressed for nothing though. XD

Didn't expect Three to be scared of ghosts though; even activated his Minimum on impulse!
Well, in the end, it's nothing serious at all..

Nice is totally tsundere for Murasaki; making onigiri for him and asking him to recover in 4 days so he can cook for him. (^^)
Of course, he has to press the remote too! Poor Murasaki..

Not bad even though the comedy was forced.
Good seeing Murasaki is alive after all, but can't say the same after what happened this episode. He definitely died at the end! XD

Haijime-chan to play an important part soon? Interesting!

Oh for God's sake, Hamatora. What a pointless episode, even if it did make laugh in few places.

However, next one seems to be more interesting, it's Hajime's turn to take the spotlight.

Nakamura-san's character is a doctor who works at the hospital part of minimum holders. So Hatano-san's character is safe, in terns of physical condition, but notfor his power. lol @ the visiting scenes especially when they used first season ED (Hatano-san's song). Wait, room 444? Such a bad "omen-ed" number, no wonder bad luck happens lots of times. Hacking girl and monster power guy brought normal weapons.

And those doctor visiting scenes...

Everyone's lost for a long time, and even got separated. Wow @ doing parody of Kaidan shows. Main guy was late because he was making rice balls.

Ogata-san's character... is she trying to get Hajime-chan away from everyone?

Murasaki you bastard! You had me in tears at the end of the last ep!

This episode sure had me laughing hard tough! The pacing of this season is a bit off for me. Episodes like this in the midst of what's been the latest episodes, and what looks like Hajime's back story coming up is way off.

That doesn't mean it can't be funny tough! I almost cried at the instant replay! X'D

From Birthday's Lemon costume, Porno Mag, Hajime eating the pork buns/flowers, Theo and Rei-san's glasses XDD, Honey and Three "Fruit Basket" and finally What does this button do!!! HAHAHHA Slow mo mixed with 1st ending song.

Can't forget the random Freeumum members appearing. The one that killed me the most the one with Father and other guy with the gag in his mouth XDD.

OHM Hajime NOOOOOOO Run away!!!!! Nice save her!!!!!

Anger because this was some of the most exceedingly misplaced comedy i've seen lately.
Yeah sure I laughed the first time he was flung off the bed and with the "fruit" basket gift but that still doesn't' stop me from hating the choices this anime makes.

Well I'm glad he's alive...
I guess I don't care about anything/one here anymore. Just counting down the weeks.

Before I pressed the play button, I was seriously crying cause I thought Murasaki was dead and he, unlike Art, would stay dead. I thought Nice would lose another person while he was 'fighting' with that person and that made me really sad. Though the OP I was crying and then I saw all that comedy. It really lightened my mood and I'm so happy that Murasaki is alive.

I can't be the only one with mixed feelings about this episode. Yes, I do admit that there were a few funny moments to be had, yet, in a series like this, it felt more out of place then it would in a comedy series.

Still though, will continue watching to see what happens in the next episode.

^ Definitely you're not only one having mixed feelings with this episode.

Despite that, even it's repetitive, the bed ejection was still funny so I commend how it was executed. Glad Murasaki is still alive.

So after Murasaki almost died, we get half an episode dedicated to beating him up further, for laughs.

A lighthearted episode after a serious one, just like with the beach episode after Art's death.

I don't really know what to think of this episode, it wasn't bad, I just wasn't expecting a filler ^^' I feel bad for Murasaki, those injuries must have shaved a few years off...I'm talking about the injuries that Hamatora inflicted of course xD
Can't wait for next episode, I was wondering if maybe Saikyou could be a woman, well, during the opening there's someone wearing lipstick? Maybe that was Saikyou?
Also, on the Hamatora wiki it said Hajime's body 'couldn't die'? Not really sure what that means : /

As much as I laughed, it's kind of weird to do a mostly comedic episode considering all that happened. To be fair though, they also did that last season.

LOL!!!!! I knew Murasaki wouldn't die, though I admit I was nervous. But that bed-launch + Birthday reanimation gig, with First Opening cover, made me lol my ass off the entire episode. I liked it lots.

So now Art targets Hajime. Hmmm well the opening made it clear she has a dark past, sort of. Let's see what is behind her.

Birthday was funny and made me laugh but I'm still in recovery from last week's shock??
I can't believe we only got a few minutes of Nice and Murasaki together (more bromance please). Also what was with that "ghost" scene? Made me laugh, but was unnecessary. I don't think they needed that whole scene just to introduce that information about the ex-minimum holders.
