For a moment there i thought i was going to watch the dude do sit ups for the rest of the episode. Pretty weird/stupid overall. Most unique hot spring Ive seen to say the least

I though it would had another kind of fanservice,not that,that guys who invade the hot springs where really weird and really weird minimum power,I wonder if we will seen more of Hajime's power and Gasquet(the police guy who looks old) is a bad guy!

Just wanted to say my opinion too. Worst one yet. Enjoyed till this episode. Random at times, ending was horribly placed and explained. Those still frames killed me..

Cringe-worthy ep.

That and it felt like the quality dropped. Char designs/animation were spotty at times.

I hope Gasquet won't be a bad guy,because he looks like a good guy,and the killer maybe was a minimum who can clone or something

It had so much promise both animation wise and plot wise but then this episode happened... The animation fell so harshly from the previous 4 episodes, it was almost like an entire different team animated it, and the minimum that was introduced, which I think was the writer's attempt to be funny, was not at all humorous and just plain weird and creepy. All the humor in the episode fell flat.

There were only two redeeming factors:

1. A glimpse at Hajime's minimum
2. Gasquet committed cold blooded murder, a seed of betrayal has been planted

Hopefully they return to quality of the last 4 episodes because whatever they're trying to pull here is not working.

Omg when he started doing the situps I laughed harder than I should have! xD that was so unexpected I couldn't help but laugh and then they let him do it for a straight minute im sittin here like whut?? ..lol

this episode was very different and weird...the ending felt so rush and the explanation just didn't sit well. I hope the next episode is better. The ending was a very nice plot twist though. Looking forward to what will happen with that.

Nope, still not doing it for me. I feel nothing for the characters, I'm not getting into the humor, and the moment that sealed the deal for me was how I had absolutely no reaction to the revelation in the end scene. It was just kind of like, "oh."

Dropped. May the rest of you have better luck than me.

Well if the succeeding episodes will have the same quality as this one, it will be a very rough uphill battle for all of us who stayed. Hopefully it improves.

I don't understand why the inspector decided to stab the lab coat guy, it's not like he was on to something.

So much quality this episode, makes me feel like I'm watching P4 all over again.

LOL ok, even though this episode was bad. I still enjoyed it, let's face it those awkward moments made it funny.

Lol, all of Hajime's care is for food. Finally Hajime in action, her power is very cool. Honey was also nice as always.

I am totally in love with the ending song.

Agreed.

For this to be a hot springs episode, where was all of the fan service? I saw enough gay-guy abs to satisfy even the most flaming of queens, which I could so do without, but there was no female fan service. There should have, at the very least, been a couple fan service scenes of the Hamatora girls!
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.

The art was pretty bad in some parts but it didn't bother me too much. This episode was so unique and bizarre I couldn't help but like it. Its ridiculousness was hilarious in my opinion. Hope it goes back to being more serious soon though.

I really don't get other women. They'd get angry when someone peeks at them and they'd still get angry when no one peeks at them. Talk about irrational.

I had mixed feelings for this episode.

Oh, so that old dude is an enemy.

That's what I call a hardcore number 1 fan.

Why will someone's Minimum be attracting males with sweat and steam... that's awkward.

Worst episode yet of Hamatora. Shame on you. I'm disappointed.

Fujoshi traits? Oh fuck, fujoshis would puke intestines seeing this bad episode.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

Nice twist in the final minutes though. Didn't see that coming.

Seriously what the hell did I just watch? That was such a stupid and meaningless episode, I have no idea what they were thinking. At first I thought it was just awkward because there was a random gang of homosexuals invading the hot springs... but the way it was resolved and all tied together was horrible. I'm just gonna try and forget this... this was much worse than any "hot springs episode" I've ever seen.

I definitely didn't suspect that Gasquet was bad though. It was obvious in that moment what was coming, just because of how overdone that kind reveal is... but still never expected it.

The one thing this episode did successfully do though is make me even more curious how they get their Minimums... particularly what determines what it will be and whatnot. I didn't even realize until now that they had to have gone through that program to get one.

I about laughed a lung out over this episode. Seduction Minimum? FUUUNNY!! I thought EVERY guy was going to turn gay by the end of it all.

Speaking of the end...talk about backstabbing. I didn't see that coming. Whoa!

First episode in this show I did not like. :S Didn't find it funny, instead the comedy was kinda forced.

Wish it would finally start to focus more on the main plot...It's almost the halfway point :<

Pacing was a bit odd and this episode was all over the place. Although, a gay villain that can turn straight guys gay as his power... Amazing.
