Aww, poor Honey...

I think the same thing can be said for a lot of the other Minimum Users like her friend Three as well. Experiments are a cruel thing in their world.

Art's regeneration Minimum is sure has a painful drawback.

It seems that they have changed the first few seconds of the OP animation sequence.
So, this episode was based around Honey's backstory and how she met Three.
Her father is a disgrace for using her as a tool. Looks like he thinks that about all Minimum users...

Three in the other hand is awesome. His inner beast Minimum is even cooler. The strain that was put on his body, when he tried to save Honey and her father, was huge.

In the meantime, Art gets to show off his new earth bending Minimum to Nice and Murasaki.

Looks like Honey is still having problems with her minimum ability. It was nice to see more back story as well, her dad wanted to user her power and nothing more which was bad.

That's Lolicon version of Honey was adorable.

Now we finally understand why Honey got a kid's personality.

Usage of artificial Minimums sure has its shortcomings. I wonder how long Art will be able to endure this..

Honey's loli persona is too adorable! That's one cute side effect she has. :3

Nice seeing Honey's backstory and how she met Three. Her dad's "sekai no tame ni" excuse was a total BS though. Attempting to use your own daughter at that.
How defiled can you be?! No wonder Freemum is after him. He should've just been left to die there.

Three was amazing though! Love how dedicated he is when it comes to Honey. Such an admirable guardian he is!

Awesome episode! Looks like Birthday and Ratio are also suffering from some sort of side effects as well. :O
In the meanwhile, Art appears again with another new artificial Minimum ability. I bet he'll get owned pretty easily again.

The episode gave a very bad foreshadow with flags all over the place. This isn't going too end well.


Very much agree with this! Since last weeks episode I've seen nothing but setup to a whole lot of confusing plot-points that are sure to show up in the near future. Not sure if too much of it will be good for the flow of the story or not.

I am PAINED by Art at this point! Not because of what he's become, but because I can't understand why. We're not given many clues about it either, that flashback in the last episode was very shallow. I want some more development next week and not just foreshadowing if possible. Great episode anyhow!

Finally had some time to watch this. Good ep. A nice Honey-centric ep. I didn't get all my answers on why her powers keep regressing but its tied to her powers thats for sure. I was kinda hoping it be tied to something of her past. Though seeing what happen in the after credits with the others powers acting odd maybe something more is at work here. Yay Art is there next ep better be one doozy of an ep.

She's shocked about her becoming childish.

Her father only cares about her power?

Her childhood story and her meeting of her partner. Father and daughter are saved by her partner by her using per power and called him for help.

I thought no interference from ex-police, but he appeared after ED.

Am I the only one who found this episode to be the best one so far? Honey's character development, a new enemy and a new drawback to minimum holders. I feel like the anime has started it's engine.

I feel like Honey's side-effect was very fan-service based, mean while the others like Birthday seem better. I like to know that the power finally has a drawback but only introduced in season 2..

Hoping for the best!

That minimum that lets Art "restart" as he said is pretty handy when you're in a pinch and need to heal.

Awwww, lil Honey is mad :3

LOL, Doktor is Honey's father :O

Awww, loli Honey ;3

Ah, so her father decided that her minimum would be of use in the assassination department because of her ability to compute different scenarios hm.

Damn... poor Three is bleeding...

It looks like Birthday and Ratio are reverting back into kids?

Art once again appears to annoy us all.

I keep watching each week hoping that something might be explained, that something might make sense, and I'm disappointed each week because nothing is ever explained and nothing ever makes sense. So far this season is nothing like the first, I see no semblance of an actual plot. Everything is random, things just happen, and then it's over.

For example, when did Art become a genius scientist? His method for extracting Minimum abilities is more effective and more humane than Moral's, so where did he learn the necessary medical and science facts to perform such a feat so easily? He was a cop that graduated the academy without a Minimum, then he was dead, then within a few months he's a genius on a level even higher than the mad genius from the academy. It doesn't make sense.

Now the side effects that seem to be occurring randomly. First it was Honey, and only Honey, who suffers a lapse back into childhood when she uses her Mighty Script. But there was absolutely nothing to trigger this, it just happened randomly. Now it seems to have spread to Ratio and Birthday, but once again there was no trigger. It could be some kind of background plot that Art is carrying out using his new found and completely impossible, higher than Moral genius medical science knowledge, but that would make even less sense.

It just appears that this season was so rushed that they completely forgot to include a plot and threw it all together from random ideas they thought would be cool. As much as I defended season one, and thought that it had such potential, I'm starting to lose interest.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Yeah, Hamatora's always left its viewers to fill in the gaps, which I find pretty annoying. I still think everything will be explained in the end, but I just wish the studio would've taken the time to develop and explain the plot. Oh yes, there is a plot. We just don't know what it is because its so rushed.

Personally, all I'm seeing is a bunch of cliche/done before/kinda overused ideas thrown together, and while I don't dislike it, I'd like it a lot more if they just told us why X event is happening.

Ehh... the episode felt like a usual Hamatora episode. I probably didn't like it as much as you because it was centered on Honey. Which is weird, because I'm usually attracted to tsunderes. Maybe I'm a tsundere?

Yeah, Honey's side effect is fan-service based, but it's funny ^_^ (omg especially her reaction- that was the best!). Although I think we'll get a happy ending, I'm still worried about Birthday and Ratio.

I like to think of this Season as a continuation of Season 1, which in all honesty, is what it is. I really do hope that they have a good explanation as to why the side-effects are only happening now.



(I'm) Hoping for the best (too)!!

Yay for backstories! Honey and Three, awww. ;_; It makes me sick that you're Honey's father, too!!!! What an ass!!!!

Art is my favorite character, but I'm slowly getting pissed at him, too. Sighs.

Throughout the episode, I've been asking myself the question: What the fuck's been happening to Honey? Is Art behind that? WhAT.

That was a crazy and good episode.
