| 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!!!

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~ |
| Damn, that english threw me off for a minute. I almost thought I was somehow watching a dub or something... It was ever so slightly better than the other episodes, but once again it unsurprisingly connected everything that happened into one bigger deal. Does this series have something against making seperate cases? But that reveal at the end... there's quite a few possibilities now, is Moral and Gasquet the same person? Or was doctor that got stabbed Moral at the time? Or was Moral just disguised as Gasquet there? ryoudachi said: Yeah, they probably don't know he's dead because of Moral's ability. Most likely either Gasquet and Moral are the same person, or they're at least working together.I don't get why there was no scene for Art and others about knowing the doctor (I assume) being dead. But then if there's one the last scene won't be even there because they know he's already dead. I do still have to wonder why the killing method was suddenly different on that one guy who was pretending to be a pretty boy, if Moral and Gasquet are the same person. Either Moral was just trying to cover his tracks, which I can't imagine being the case or there's more than one killer... or it's just something I can't imagine. What I don't get is exactly why Art doesn't want to tell Nice about Moral... does he think he's going to become a crazy killer too? I guess all will be revealed in due time. |
| Oh, Moral has an ability. I thought he wouldn't have a minimum. Or did I miss something? This week's case was alright. Seems Nice and Moral may meet next ep. That should get things moving. |
 |
| This episode... see previous episode post. |
| This ep was alright. Better than the crap from last week. |
| not bad not good either.. also crappy colors again when in fight scenes |

Forgetfulness said: "If punches and electricity don't work, how about both at once?" Could not possibly get more shounen-y than that Lol this. Was that supposed to increase your damage output? Lol. Some of the stories are nice, like the flashback, and the glasses+sound dudes combi, and the real aim of the kidnapping, but the execution was poor, and the direction was bad. The mystery is predictable too. |

Paul said: This episode... see previous episode post. This. Hamatora having every single job intertwine and be related with each other; it's starting to piss me off as well. I don't know how many more episodes of this I can watch. |
| This is fairly interesting, doesn't rival episode 5 in terms of fun. But Ratio and Birthday are so cute together. |
| Birthday and Ratio have a great past. I just don't get what Moral's intention. Changing his appearance is his power? Soo Nice knew about Moral?? |
| Wow that was a cool fight with Brithday and Ratio. Their past was great too. Hehehe brothers for life oh yeah. Their cases are always coincidentaly related it seems. Nice finally found out phew. |
| Quite interesting episode with some great action! Let's see what's next. |

XD loved it also i'm pretty sure i did not ask for feels from ratio and his bud: i really liked that background :( whether it's a shame or not, the children backgrounds are much better than the current adults. wish they'd do everyones. i'm so sick of the "mystery" behind nice. |
 |
| It's nice to finally have more of Birthday and Ratio's backstory, but it felt like the drama was too out of place? Birthday suddenly talking to Chiyuu about it and she looks like, "uh yeah sure whatever dont care man" but still, appreciated. And once again, their works just oh-so coincidentally aligns. OST with the fight felt out of place, but the ED song is still amazing to me. Dammit, so Moral can change appearances. Well, that's dirty. Guessing he's the old guy then. Nice wanting to meet Moral, eh? Can't wait to see that. Also this: TsundereHeart said: "If punches and electricity don't work, how about both at once?"

| Oh, young Ratio was so kawaii. Goshdarnit. "What sells is what's good, obviously!" - Black You're the idiot here, sir. Lmfao. So, Moral can shapeshift? What the hell! My Art's going to be mad in the next episode. Nooo. |
