| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This case was was a bit more interesting imo. A guy in that silly outfit attacked? Heh. Mm pretty drawings I guess this episode. I kinda feel sorry for the kids..ahh. The fight was okay I guess. I mean the gold fists were straight out fashioned. I noticed they used the ED song during the fight too. I see what they did here. Looks like Moral is up to no good again.. |

| Artist x Movie collab. incident with the manager that received the power wanting another artist to do it instead. Interesting story about why the two are paired up. Prophecy breaker, literally and promise to not die. Police's sister's tomb? He finally found out the police is trying to hide. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| A look into the past about Ratio and Birthday That was good. More connections to Moral..(obtaining minimum powers) The fight at the end was pretty good too. This case was more interesting than previous ones.. Wonder when they'll finally take on Moral though. |
 |
| I wonder who is that in the tomb?! The case has gotten more interesting and I bet Art's helper is hiding things too. |
 |
| 3/5 slightly better and more interesting than the last few ones. |
| This case was seriously weird... way less than last one though ^^' |
| Woah good english, wasn't expecting that :P "It sleeps here" Was Art's brother named It? I'm still somewhat confused about Ratio's powers, I assume his sight is part of his minimum, but are the golden arms part of it too? It's hard to tell since he's always wearing gloves. Shoot me a comment/message if you know. |
| First time posting on this particular anime forum: I will summarize my opinion by saying that so far, I remain uninspired by this show. The only thing interesting is the policemen and the villain. Moral continues to be formidable. Every time Art speaks, I think of DT Saga. The Minimum Holders are dull and I think they try too hard to make these characters cool. On the first episode I got the impressions that I am supposed to wowed by Nice but 6 EPs in and....still feel the same way. Did not get to see Art and Moral in action this ep the way I wanted but the twist at the end was nice. Otherwise, ep was okay. |
 |
| Wow Raito and Birthday's past. I hope Birthday doesn't die T__T Nice wants to meet him!!!! Whoa Morel WTH!!!! |
| Yeah Moral's minimum is the ability to morph. That is a very generic power that one could get, yet it's still sick. |
| Well, looks like I'll be shipping Birthday/Ratio more than ever... Oh boy...Nice has done it again. I can't help but feel like this is some sick mashup of Meganebu! and Psycho Pass, and that Moral is like Makishima from Psycho Pass? You feel? |

Shoot me a comment/message if you know. Yeah! I think the vision is more his minimum than the arms though! The arms, are, well, fake, and not caused by his brain like a minimum would be. |
| Well we're finally getting somewhere. They seriously need to stop with the shallow cases to make the plot advance. It just feels cheap and dulls the 'woah' factor of the main plot. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| So i guess Gasquet isnt a killer?! or is he? |
 |
| Cool episode. And awww at Birthday and Ratio's friendship, not willing to let each other die :p Seems like Moral's gonna appear next ep |
| Less action as usual.. it getting boring |
| Do you should be happy for life..? I do not. |
| I rather liked this episode. Learning more about Ratio and Birthday is always good! How sad is it to live with a minimum where you can tell people are about to die? That would seem very scary, but I'm glad Ratio is now putting it to great use by being a doctor who is able to genuinely help others, what a great way to turn something that seems like a negative into a positive. |
 |
| After knowing that Moral's minimum is the ability to morph, I bet Art's partner has been Moral all along. He killed the guy on the computer cause he was close to figuring something out. |
| what the hell happening with the animation quality? poor Ratio's past |
 |
| With Moral ability, it's tough to find the real him. bromance for Ratio and Birthday. I like their past that connects them to stay alive. |
| Nice flashback, but the animation is becoming... So Birthday has an incurable disease... Pretty much became a nakama fight at end, too simple. Still loving the ending song, the anime is becoming average though. |
 |
| good episode about birthday and ratio and their past. |
  "Here's our chance! Let's go!" |
| Finally! An episode where Master's not just standing there grinding coffee! He actually served a drink!! The plot thickens!!! Tons of Ratio action! Be still my fluttering heart... Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| ratio and birthday's past was really interesting :-) i like their friendship haha ^^; can't wait to see more of nice's past! fight at the end was good too (y) |
| that was cute, how ratio and birthday became close |
| I knew it. Moral had to have some shape shifting or illusion type of ability since he's able to walk around so freely killing people here and there without being caught. Also, I like how the screen's resolution change whenever Moral comes on screen. |
| allo |
| I'm not finding these stories interesting at all :( The only one I found entertaining was the first one from episode 1 with the complex safe that just had porn mags lol. |

parfaited said: Random observation but some scenes just like awkwardly directed. For example, that one scene where Misty was talking and all we could see was her back while Birthday is sitting there all :< faced. Lasted a good ~12 seconds too. I agree with this. Some scenes left me feeling a bit -off- because of the awkward directing. Though I did enjoy Birthday's outburst (a stark contrast from his usual happy-go-lucky, down-to-earth, careless vibe), we could have done without the prolonged frame of just him sitting there whilst Misty clipped off-camera. The case itself was mildly interesting; however, I found the previous cases more entertaining. I felt that this episode was incredibly rushed (was I the only one??) but I'm glad that we were able to learn of Birthday's and Ratio's past -- PLUS witness more of their dynamic (although there were a few odd directing choices within the overall fight). I love love love all of the characters in this series so I really hope that the latter half of the season picks up (enter: Moral!). Hamatora has the potential to be quite good if they go the right direction. I'm still sticking to an 8/10 (in reality, a 7/10) due to art style, op/ed, characters, and personal enjoyment. This can quickly drop to a 6/10 if something doesn't happen soon for Hamatora to break out of its current average streak. |

I don't agree with your mashup, but I agree that Moral acts somewhat similar to Makishima, but Moral isn't the slightest bit close to influencing all these crimes as elegantly as how Makishima does it. |

| That episode was really nice and I feel the plot is finally starting to unfold! I can't hide that the quality of the episode wasn't that good, but whatever! Let's hope it will get better!!! This ep's case was okay! I liked how they connected it with the Ratio x Birthday past!!! And here comes the greatest thing!!! Do you remember ep.4!!! When Birthday said this - Life's too short! It felt a bit weird and way too serious back then but now it makes perfect sense!!! I love those small details!!! (￣ω￣) Hannah_Ana said: My emotional state in a couple of words!!! ;'DDD Tons of Ratio action! Be still my fluttering heart...

Now we know what Moral is capable of...it's getting really interesting!!! I feel like he might have kidnapped/killed the real Gasuke and is pretending to be him now! O-O |

|
| okay with the case.. just wtf with the truth -_- |
| Birthday and Ratio's friendship is really cute! Not too bad of an episode, the case didn't really make much sense to me but at least it was resolved nicely. Looks like Art's assistant isn't actually evil, and it was Moral who killed the scientist guy. |
| OOOOO wen will he meet Moral this reminds me abit of psycho pass lol |
| It was good, although the culprit was really predictable. So that's why Birthday said in a previous episode that life is short. |
| The animation and the writing in this just keeps dropping each episode just like my score for this ;) |
| Somehow the perpetrator was obvious to me from the very start, but still the episode was lotsa' interesting to me. I just love character developments, and I got it this time around. Also, Moral seemingly has an awesome ability that I didn't really expect. |
  |
| Wow, I just absolutely adore this series! The ending of this episode seemed rushed, but it was pretty good in general; props to the creators. And I knew Moral could morph into other people, I just knew it! Really great, can't wait for more; I see the plot beginning to form and I like the comedic aspects, and everything is drawn beautifully as well! I wonder what surprise(s) the next episode will hold? |
 |
| The episode seems kinda filler-ish when the hidden plot is already review. I hope Moral will make bigger moves next episode~ |
