'I just did it because everyone else was doing it. What's so wrong with that?'

Anyone who actually thinks like that is scum and trash. Why not blow yourself up? There's nothing in your life, after all, if you really think 'they did it too' is a good reason to do horrible things.

And going on a midnight stroll with a brain in a jar? That's just revolting.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I appreciate style to some extent but not when it's presented so poorly. There's a world of difference between what K, which also couldn't pride itself on storytelling, brought to the table in terms of style (and animation) compared to this. And I wouldn't even mind it that much if it would do a great job as a detective-story but alas it is not from my point of view so there's basically nothing for me to hold onto.
I do agree though that the last scene with the apparent final boss had some eerie soundtrack that was used to enhance the atmosphere rather well.


I know my remark is a bit off-topic but I just couldn't help it!! :DD It's about the storytelling in K. I'm assuming you're talking about K- Project and if that's the case, I don't really agree with your statement! I respect it but I don't think the plot was poor at all! It was really confusing and complicated but the idea behind is really original! It was very short, yes, but everything was perfectly connected! Of course, it's easier when you've read the mangas and novels to make sense of it all but even if we only take the anime, it was amazing! However, you don't have to agree with me. ^^

Now to Hamatora! xD

Well, the episode had its funny moments and pretty sad ones! I felt really bad about that guy Theo since what he believed in turned out to be a lie, really painful indeed! >.< I also really liked the flashback there!!! I believe this is just the beginning - we will get to know more of what this Academy they all came from! It won't be a bad idea to read the manga, too! ^^ That creepy looking brain-loving guy is freaking me out! I bet his personality is really twisted and he is a psycho - judging by his words at the end!!!

Maybe the episode wasn't that great, but I guess there is a lot more to come! That's why I'm looking forward to episode 3! ^^

The early bit of backstory and connection between the cases was a nice surprise. I'm still confused by Nice's power, is it the power to move at the speed of sound?

@11:34 - It looks like the villain was in charge or at least was involved in whatever facility Nice and the others were tested in. Uh oh, don't tell me all those brains are from the minimum holders who didn't pass their standard.


His ability is the power to move *through* sound. All those colours that come on the screen when he activates his minimum are sound waves, and he can teleport himself through them.

Evil teacher, but meh he's dead. Decent episode not much to say liked the part with the bomber about the grenade that was hilarious as heck. We've seen the crazy guy and his brains. Can't wait for Hajime to act.

This series is really cool, they got all the style down, but the substance.. well it's a little lacking. The mystery was meh. That ending with the brain tho..

I like the ED song.

Damn, the guy with red megane is such a pimp ahahaha.
Nice is awesome. I like his character :D
Bullies are fucking pussies, and what the teacher did was just plain stupid =_=
I like mystery solving, so I am enjoying this Anime even if the mysteries in this Anime are not that mysterious. It's still enjoyable for me ahahaha.

Nice episode, a little slow at first.

I really like their powers, and the animation effects when they use em'
And that ending was creepy, what's with the weirdo with shark teeth?
The only shark teeth I find appealing is from Rin >.<

The brain thing and possibly stealing abilities just makes me think of Sylar from Heroes.

LOL that's the funniest opening for an episode yet.
And what a model teacher.. that's just sick. Such a loser.
They sure like making all the mysteries into one case though.
Oh the real thing is still just beginning.. those brains at the end ewww.

What appears to be the overarching plot thread being set up with what was mentioned in the 1st episode by that detective minimum holder about the minimum holder-cereal killer has been spotlighted in this episode - We have a psychopath in our midst. Nice and his partner picked up another non-linear threaded mystery which wasn't oh-so bad, but could've had more weight to it especially regarding the climax of the ep but I suppose this was just following in with the episodic mystery "case" of the week. The clincher this week is getting set for the season of who this cereal killer baddy may be and what are his motives for casing and selling brains of minimum holders. I'd be remiss to not mention that the a certain academy was mentioned where minimum holders are molded.

"Wouldn't it be easier to just use an actual grenade?" tru man tru

I hope the OP/ED won't change every episode... I mean, the songs are good, but I'd really rather skip them... ;_;

Theo's cute. Yeah, thank that scum bag!! But lmao don't mess with the funeral, kid
Plot-wise, it feels to... cliche? The mystery isn't even all that mystery. We get to solve it faster than Nice does. Still, there's something about it that makes you want to continue anyway. Pacing is quite weird, too. I mean, it's only until now that we know mr. policemen is called "Art", right? Also, is Doctor-guy's name introduced yet? IDK even.

And there's something about Hiroshi Kamiya's characters that just make you like them.....

What kind of freak goes on a night walk with a brain?

That was a good episode, and we get to see more Art. Kyaaa. In love with him already because Hiroshi Kamiya. Dafuuuuq!

That new character is so creepy af with all the brains as his lovers. Hahaha.

I feel bad for Theo, though. Poor kid. Freaking sensei was a massive asshole.
