I'm thinking Art is trying to kill Nice because he know he'll stop him otherwise.

The second season's opening is in a whole different world from season 1's opening.

I did not expect this from Hamatora.They finally explained what happened to Nice. It looks like there is some buildup with Chiyuu & that family, along with Art's actions.Which means, a plot! His minimum power is painful to activate lol. Its pretty OP though.

I hope they will develop Art's motives. Maybe he's trying to make everyone 'normal' and fit in. I think the clipboard that Art showed Paper implied that minimum holders aren't naturally born with their powers. I'm imagining test subjects.

Young Art and Nice in the preview...hmm. I'm interested.

The hell is Art doing >< He's seriously pissing me off here... so he took away their minimum... even though most of them are probably of that it still pisses me off oO
How can he even do that?

I was right all along! During the first season I thought that maybe Art's Minimum had something to do with resurrection so that would explain why he couldn't display his abilities earlier. This also makes up for the fact that he didn't die when Moral "killed" him. Although, I was a little off track as it seems he possesses the Regeneration Minimum.
Looks like Art is stealing other holders' Minimums so that he could liberate them from their "sin". Did he catch some of Moral's madness? On the other hand, can it be contagious in the first place? (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖
Joke aside, I think I kind of get why he's doing it. Since Minimum Holders are discriminated against because of their abilities he's trying to free them of this burden by taking them away. This way they can be integrated back into normal society.
Whether I'm right or not about his motives, I sure am proud for somewhat estimating his true powers (a.k.a. guessing his Minimum).
By the way, if someone has already pointed this out I'm not trying to repeat their words but it's simply because I don't read all of the comments.



Ditto! Called when Moral "killed" him.
I would say he was immortal.
Unfortunately, my favorite normie (Art) is all cray cray. He went in the opposite direction of Moral but still...cray cray. No bueno.
Didn't expect the power draining thing though. Just suck out a little blood and voila! no more minimum...yeah okay. Inject yourself w/same blood and instantly know how to use a new/random minimum...yeah okay.

Paper guy was literally too cool for school...until he got owned..nah he's still awesome

I have mixed feelings about this episode.

It was nice to explain Art being still alive, and even nicer to see what happened on the ship at the end (although, really, why is he trying to kill Nice? Only Nice doesn't seem too puzzled about it....), but the "upgrades" to the graphics mostly take away from the story rather than add to it.

On the other hand, the pace has to be different since the major conflict was resolved in the past series... so I can enjoy it more if I just take it as a comical spin-off rather than an extension of the first season.

Damn, those transitions are getting more and more annoying with each use. Besides that, this was actually a really good episode.

This, I can't wait to see how far Art will go to achieve his goal. I feel like we are just scratching the surface with this guy.

Nice episode, more questions answered. and we also got to see a new character - Paper.
Wonder what did Hajime mean about not wanting to go to the Facultas Academy.
ED was OK i guess. I liked the 1st season's ED better though.
Chiyuu..


And i spotted child Nice & Art in the preview! Next ep is going to be interesting.

I hate those fucking scene transitions, whose dumb idea was that? Terrible.

Anyway, Art died for your sins!
I don't know if I like or dislike him but he is more intriguing than Moral ever was that's for sure.


Murasaki is awesome. Why does no one talk about him? This makes me kind of sad...
Paper guy was really awesome too. He should have been part of the gang instead of Boobs-chan and her lion friend.

I don't see myself ever loving this show because it does a lot of things that bug me but i'm glad it's kind of answering some questions.

Why's everyone hating on the scene transitions? I like them, gives this series a No More Heroes vibe.

Scene transitions. I wish they'd stop.

Also, it's so obvious what Art is doing, he's stealing people's Minimums, it's like Sylar from Heroes. He's like Moral #2 with a more fucked up logic, either give them all power or take it all away.

I don't understand why though. I mean, Art seems less crazy than Moral. There is a greater motive behind that, isn't there?

This undeniable bromance between Art and Nice though.

Okay, so I understand that Art is stealing other people's Minimums, but I still don't understand why. And the whole "taking their sins" thing seems weird to me and I'm not sure if I believe it.
And Paper's Minimum is a really original and good idea in my opinion.
no signature because im too lazy to make one

Wow, that was actually really good. What a fast change, plus a lot of questions answered and some new ones raised.
I assume Art is trying to take all the Minimum powers.
Season is off to a good start.

That was a bit boring.. I shouldn't have read the review, that review pretty much spoiled it.

That limb severing tho.. Tokyo Ghoul should have done it this way.

So everyone just pretend that Nice is dead, I see.
Art is getting all of the minimum and using it, that's why he didn't die when Moral killed him? Pretty awesome. How can they defeat him?
Why is Hajime scared to go to Facultas Academy?
Interesting episode, and Nice ED.

I kinda understand what Art is planning.. since he see the minimums as something like a sin, he's planing to remove those sins from the sinners, which are the minimum holders and carry those sins himself. So something along the lines of sacrificing himself for the equality of all.

Art shouldn't have cut his hair. So, he is now like Sylar from Heroes, huh.
That's awesome. I can already see what he is trying to do.
Them transitions are cool, but no need to use it every damn 2 minutes =_=
Ending song is nice~

The transitions aren't needed.. it's irritating. I thought it was only for the first episode.
So now Art wants to remove all of them ? This is just as ridiculous as the previous lol.
For some reason I hate taking away their minimum more than giving it.. although taking away doesn't kill.
Mr. Paper-san ogt K.O-ed like that. Tsk he was a cool guy such a bummer.
What's with Chiyuu anyway ? I never understands what she says..
Well I'm just waiting for Hajime-chan and Nice-kun's past.

the 1st half of the episode was boring.

so art's minimum is to extract minimums from other minimum holders with those minimum holders no longer having a minimum. interesting.

those transition sequences are still irritating


thats not art's minimum lol

yea it is getting a little Heroes-y. thought that as well in S1 and the brains stuff. the new one looks even worse than S3 on up though >.<

birthday stole the show here but WOW art! that's why you didn't die! he WAS a minimum holder after all! it all makes so much sense...*_* that twist was awesome, although i'm not sure why he's stealing powers. the theory is that he's taking away the powers to literally help others but why couldn't he take it out and burn the vials? why use it for himself?

and i was about to ask why nice bothered to spend 3 months alone last episode but it was answered here lol

also if someone you know and/or a friend wants to watch this show, i recommend you tell them to watch up to when art dies, go to the last minutes of ep12, and skip to this season (since they will most likely love art). the rest of S1, once you think about it, is pretty much useless in that respect.

i agree about the transitions, though. stop please.

more questions but i'm so glad i can finally give 'tora my love. the art scene was dark and intense, just wonderful. i just hope this quality keeps up. (PLEASE be a better finale!)5/5!

The transition guitar thing makes it horrible. Augh.
So Art's "liberating them from their sins" by extracting their Minimum, eh? I hope he doesn't die (for real this time), but......................
