Rather poor start to the new season, honestly. This writing/story for this episode was just slightly better than horrible, and the way they brought Nice back during that final encounter was completely void of any feels. I mean, we all knew he was alive, but even with us expecting his return they could still have put some "umph" into it.

The episode had some decent funny bits here and there, and the way Nice handled that fight wasn't bad. But, all in all, this is a pretty bad start to the series. Those Re: Hamatora transition screens were annoying and ruined the flow of the episode, the story might have went over better if it wasn't chopped up into those cheesy segments like that.

I do hope it gets better. After that ending from season one they owe us some explaining, and this episode should have been used to do at least a little of that explaining. Like what actually happened to Nice and how he's still alive.
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.

Things I liked : The opening theme, Hajime, and Nice
Things I disliked : Pretty much everything else

Let me explain : coming into this episode, I had no expectations. I just wanted answers. Honestly I even considered not watching it and waiting on other fans reactions of the series. The only reason I truly came back was because of how S1 ended.

With that said, I wish they would have made this a more serious ep, maybe even make us believe that Nice was dead and play that out with maybe hits that he may be alive. I felt like this episode fell completely flat. Though I have to admit I will watch next episode.

The reason why : I want to know what truly happened to Art. What happened to Nice and why did they fake him being dead. One other thing I truly want to know. What is the relationship between Nice and Hajime? I really would love to know how they meet. I also hope that Hajime gets more screen time with Nice and Murasaki.

All in All I did not really enjoy this episode. I'm hoping for a better season this season and hopefully some answers.... until next week.

I had a gut feeling that Nice wasn't dead, and i'm extremely happy that he's not, although I don't know how I feel about Art craving vengeance and continuing Moral's twisted legacy...doesn't really make much sense to me of why he would do that even if he dislikes feeling useless compared to others' minimums; I guess he wants to cultivate the weak's to make them powerful? It's the same plot as Moral, but now is restarted with Art, kinda seems like it'll be the same as season one, I hope I'm wrong.

Episode one was alright; I'm happy they discarded the gradient and fixed the "spotting" issue in the animation.I also thought the OP was also really good.

Let's just hope they nourish the plot better with less fillers this season...

The best worst show is back!!!!!! As ridiculous as ever but with better animation, what else could I ask for...

Were people expecting answers on the first episode?? Well, I was too but it doesn't faze me one bit. I think we'll be lucky if we get them by the end of the season...anyway I'm pretty sure it will be something ludicrous like - Art didn't actually shot Nice, he was just giving him a scare; or - *points gun at Nice* ......*shoots him in the foot* Now you can't chase me!!! *crazy laughter* *flies off the boat*; or even - Nice dodged the bullet, it still hit him but it wasn't fatal... I put all my money on the 2nd one tbh

I just hope Art isn't some kind of Moral v.2 now because Art was the best character and Moral the worst. Having Art as the "bad guy" is exciting but I can't quite see how they'll do it w/o destroying the character completely. Don't destroy Art, it's my only request, Hamatora, you pretty much fail on everything, but don't fail me on this. Please.

I would have expected there to be a larger emotional response to Nice's return but with the way Murasaki and Hajime responded, it seemed like they always knew he wasn't dead.

EDIT: Ah, never mind, I just watched past the credits and it dispelled most of my confusion.

Confused. lmao
- Why did they have to pretend Nice was dead / why were they pretending?
- Why did the news report that Nice was dead
- Was Nice dressing up as Tranker-kun before they even got the job to protect Hikaru?

Or are these things meant to be resolved in the coming eps ...

Anyways, it was alright. Definitely liked it a lot more when Nice came in :-) 80% of the reason why I'm watching this is because of Nice. 15% because Birthday. 5% because Murasaki & Art.

The animation improved a lot and the weird color stuff was taken out. Was impressed by the opening song.

But as usual, random scenes everywhere that don't really follow the main plot. Also, weird scene transitions but better than season 1.

Kind of expected Nice to be alive. They acted as usual for the memorial service so I assumed it was an act. I wonder whats going on with Art. Not sure if its even him. I don't want a Moral #2. Okay impression so far. Hamatora still doesn't give answers and jumps around. Seems better than season 1 at least. Ill raise my hopes a bit :3

I was a little upset how everyone was making jokes at Nice's memorial, although I honestly thought that he was dead and Hajime would take his spot like the episode was trying to convince us. Glad he was alive at the end and now I can laugh at the beginning of the episode.

Got to admit Nice was the only thing I really liked about this show and if they had killed him I would of dropped this in a heartbeat. Soooo it looks like you still got my attention Hamatora.

So Nice is alive now, huh. It was pretty much expected, but to think they would turn him alive in the first episode... not very good. Guess I will not bother with Hamatora's season 2 after all. If it turns out good then I will try to complete it before the last episode.

The OP is nice though, reminds me of some of vocaloid song I can't seem to remember. The ED also sounds nice. Damn, don't make it harder for me, I am very weak to good music, and end up watching seasons if a series has good songs.

No surprise Nice is alive.

Art is looking to be the next gen Moral. But perhaps he'll do a better job as the villain.

A loooot of explaining needs to be done. I really hope they'll tie up the loose ends from last season soon. At least the major ones i.e. How did he survive. I don't feel like being strung along.

I knew something was up. They wouldn't just kill off their ace like that. Can't wait till they explain the whole art thing. Most likely moral was part of arts plan all along, basically a pawn in arts little scheme.

I was hoping Re: Hamatora would be better than last season but noooooooo.....
Except for the art maybe....
Nice's Return was pretty anti-climatic...
i don't like how they switch a scene with that blocky-blocky thingy... ruins the atmosphere
The lack of background music in some scene makes me sleepy
Honestly, it's like watching the same shit over and over again, but with more nonsense detective-thingy and less fighting part, we need more of those fighting part.
7/10 would still watch because of the antagonist (Art)

WOW

they were SO close to me getting really angry in here. I mostly watch this because the end of first season was a shitty cliffhanger(if it wasn't I'd probably watch it too but it wouldn't be as urgent then) and then they just skip the interesting parts? And not only they skipped it but they also made it look like Nice died and didn't even say what happened with Art (which btw is confusing as fuck. How is he even alive? Hopefully they tell us later...).

Well now I ranted anyway. The episode itself was fine. As good as the first season (except that shitty end). I'm a bit disappointed they didn't just continue where they stopped though. Looking forward to the next episode in the hope of figuring out what happened to Art

I believed in him *^* Nice was going to show up someway or another. Ah, what a beautiful reunion.
The opening and ending were good. I liked first season's just as equally.
There were some laughs in this episode I enjoyed. And I think future episodes would explain more about how Nice is alive and what had happened back then, so I'm not too disappointed about that.
...And I see we are all curious about this new Moral (aka Art)

3 months after and still depressed. The people wanting to think positively about Minimum Holders.

OP is cool, actually liking this more than first season.

Jobless... because a new highspeed minimum holder (Is he Hase from Isshuukan Friends.?) stealing any jobs.

Wow, so many "intermission" scenes. lol @ that situation game scenes that explains why that guy gets attracted by many girls. That punk girl looks like the boss in Dangan Ronpa and leading the group that looks like AKB, but boy ver.

Nice is alive (just hurt badly and resting at the hospital)?! And that highspeed guy is just light power to change appearance. That ex-police guy is moving?! For?

Wow, this company must have the biggest balls to pull a stupid move like that! Bring Nice back from the dead without a full proper explanation on why he is still alive.

I didn't expect much from the first season, nor do I expect much from this season either. I still don't fully understand why Art became the antagonist for this season. Hope they explain it later.

All of Hamatora are back. That's cool, I guess. If Nice stayed dead, I would've liked to see that girl (I forgot her name) get more detail.

The transitions are incredibly annoying and I hope they change it.

Am I looking forward to the rest of this season? Eh, not really. But I finished the first season so I might as well finish this season as well.

Sorry about the rant.

Ok, his "funeral" felt a little too funny, and the opening foreshadowed it so it was pretty much a given already BUT, I didn't expect he would appear just like that, I thought maybe it would have take 2 or 3 episodes at last.

Anyway, I'm glad to see Hamatora back. Now I want to know what the hell Art is planning to do and what are his motivations.
