my exact thought as I watched this episode.. the idea behind the beauty holder etc. was good, but it was poorly executed.

New characters.

I don't know if Moral gave that coat to the kid out of kindness or he just wanted to remove any evidence of his kill.

I get slight Psycho-pass vibes with the hero being like the villain but it misses the intensity and the execution is lackluster. This show is kinda boring. They solve the cases with very little info or with something circumstantial that they see near the end of the episode. The grandma was funny though and the bloody jacket at the end was cool. Don't see the similarities between Makishima (best villain ever) and Moral besides that they both look the same.

New characters have cool powers. Especially the girl. The case this ep was kinda average except the beauty minimum holder part. That was a nice twist.

I still think Nice pulls his deductions out of nowhere.
It's always something that he notices but others don't or something he has a hunch about.
I suppose that works too but it's the same very case...

Not to mention things move very fast so before the situation is even fleshed out properly, they've already arrived at the conclusion.

The cases are still interesting enough but execution is rather weak.

Honey is so hot, great choice by getting KitaEri to voice her.

Pretty weak episode but the CM was great.

Nice's genius is on higher level than everyone else, like Moral, and he's a detective. So, it's safe to assume his ability to notice things others do not, and make connections quicker than others, is normal. I've also noticed, with the way the anime scenes switch around, that a lot of the detective work is done while other characters are being shown. We don't really know what methods they are using, or clues they are finding, when the other characters are being shown.

I agree, however, that it would be nice(pardon the pun) to have a case extend over more than one episode. Something that would give us a chance to really see what it is that Hamatora does. With a limited number of episodes, and limited time in each episode, to tell a story some things are bound to be rushed. I can handle the cases being rushed in favor of the grand scheme playing out. Nice is some kind of genius/prodigy even among the Minimums, and we don't really know the full extent of his sound powers, so it's not too far of a stretch for him to solve everything so quickly.
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.

Well, it wasn't bad. But one pattern I'm starting to notice here is that each episode it's like every single case they get just happens to tie in with the rest that episode... which makes it extremely predictable. I pretty much assumed from the start that Three/Honey's case and that video would all tie in with the kids and their guns.

That guy stealing people's brains seems pretty damned smart though, he's actually kinda impressing me with how far he's willing to go. I normally hate most villains, because they generally have some kinds of limits, but this guy definitely doesn't hesitate for a second.

Man, Honey is one hot anime girl. It really makes me wanna RAPE her!!! She's so hot!

hahah, this was really funny. The only one that made me life.

All in all, still a weak episode but nice since there isn't much of that philosophical shit that didn't fit in the story or was used wrongly.

Yeah it feels a lot like a wanna-be Psycho-Pass at the moment, with the good-looking white-haired antagonist who manipulates other people and gives them means of committing crimes (just like Makishima was doing for a while). It's a bit annoying really, but I'm enjoying those Makishima vibes from Moral. Hopefully he lives up to it and delivers.

that was pretty good, though I'm sure Art is very cautious, especially since Nice said that the villain might be like him, or at least thinks similarly.

I'm starting to like this series although I didn't really expect much from it in the beginning.
Although it has the Psycho Pass kind of vibe to it, I like how it has comedy incorporated in it. Also, I find myself liking Moral very much. This will probably be one of the series where I end up liking the villains more than the protagonists.
Loved the granny and those dudes reading the manga though XD

This episode was quite different from the rest.
What's with their names - Nice,Art,Birthday,Moral BLAH BLAH BLAH XD
Something only kids under 15 can understand, a hidden message.
I guess Moral has his own reason for being such an insensitive retard. He used a chainsaw to take his brain out and replaced his head with a dolls.
Getting interesting. Can't wait for the next episode

Whoaw, after the stupidest thing I did (I forgot that I haven't watched ep 4 and watched ep 5 instead) I'm very happy with this episode!!! ;D

The bathroom idea was so lame!! I mean...bathroom...seriously?!!! However, it was hilarious!! :D I love Ratio and Murasaki, although I'm not quite sure yet why exactly I do!!! :DD Like the "Mad Doctor" nickname!!! ♥ Poor Mirasaki -"Megane guy" I felt so sorry for him!!! Why did they make him say that?!!! TT.TT

Honey was so cute kissing her Mighty Script!! :DDD Her attitude seems just a little bit annoying but she doesn't look like a bad character!!! xD

Whoaw!!! Art is such an interesting character! He must have found it really strange when Moral and Nice said the same thing!!!! O_O I wonder what kind of connection these two share (Nice and Moral)???? DX<

The artwork of Moral at the end was really creepy!!! It freaked me out!!! And poor kiddo that got the bloody coat!! Still I really liked the scene! It was a nice and kind gesture, yet shrouded in darkness and mystery!!! Gosh it makes you love Moral!!!! I just sounded like a total psycho!!!! @__@'''

I think that one thing I absolutely love about Hamatora is the ED!!!! ^^ It's so damn good!!! o(≧▽≦)o

The thing that made me a bit excited was the foreshadowing(?) in the 1st ep with the ferris wheel in Yokohama Cosmoland taking 15 minutes to make one round;marking the place of the event in this ep,with 15 years being the age limit.It could be a coincidence of course,but if it's not,that would mean a more complex plot.
BUT
How am i supposed to believe that when Tits,after explaining how freaking important it is,proceeds to fkin lose that pink MiraIPad.<
sigh.I hope this won't be a trainwreck...but i still have 2 episodes to watch right now.plsplspls

Not a bad ep. Moral is quite the complex character. Really finding him interesting.

Lol'd at the commercial at the start XD
"None have survived my operating table" XDXDXD

And Murasaki being called Megane XD The way he was so not into in was hilarious haha
His reaction after that was ROFL XD Face palming max XD

Loving Honey and Three. Honey is friggin HOT! Dat Body *A* and three is hilarious with the reading manga part even with the guy in the hotel room XD

Well as usual the case was nothing special but the characters make up a bit.

The last scene when Moral gave the kid the bloody jacket was O_O Twisted as hell

I'm so glad I read that post. I didn't even notice that the jacket had blood on it. Now I went back and rewatched the scene and it really did! Creepy...

Boobs in the beginning and they're big. Still not getting a clue as to how their powers work.

What is this? A cross between Bigby from Wolf Among Us, Wolverine, Beast from Beauty and the Beast
and Hyorinmaru from Bleach?



Rofl at those lame names: Sonic Idaten, Speed Tarou, Mad Doctor, Thunder Good Guy, Four-eyes lol

The Yokohama Safety Club!

Lol I'm starting to like this Three Guy, reading manga in the middle of a restaurant that seems high class



Lol, seriously how'd this old lady end up there?! xD



Now realizing Moral is voiced by Hisoka's VA and Murasaki voiced by Pouf's VA

Soo much loose ends to be tied up, seriously who's the guy in the alleyway that Nice usually sees?

Lol why is the victim now interested in reading Three's manga?! xD



Well, okay episode. Starting to think this is all episodic and I'm losing my interest.

"If providing people with what they desire is a sin, then all mothers are sinners, and the world is bereft of love."
^ wow makishima-esque. Honestly feels like this: Makishima - Moral, Kougami - Nice, Ginzo - Art

We finally got Doctor's name officially, and ta-da, another weird name. I'm starting to think only Hajime and Megane will have decent names here... Anyway, lmao "no one survives from my operating table".

Go grandma! Yay that we got an explanation about a Minimum! I want Nice's but oh well. So Nice and Moral are "similar", eh? And for a second, I was going all "aww so Moral does have a nice side to him!!" and then turns out it was his coat with blood and nvm, nvm.

I immediately liked the 2 new characters (Honey and Three).

That superhero commercial scene, though. Hahahaha. Shut up, Murasaki. "Four eyes" as your superhero fits you. Hahaha jk.

"None have survived my operating table!" - Ratio
Dafuq, Ratio? Hahahaha!

The cringe throughout that scene was worth it, maaan.

Moral can suck a sack of walrus dicks even though he reminds me of Sephiroth. I fucking hate him for hurting Art. I fucking hate you.
