The concept of Hamatora sounded interesting, but its execution was horrid.
*Tiny bit of spoilers
Story 3
More then four of the episodes felt like filler episodes. Honestly can't remember the plot because they were so boring. The main story is very lackluster on top of that as it is little deeper then the description provided for an explanation of what the series is about.
Art 8
This is where this show excelled and made me watch the rest. The fights were so evenly distributed to all the characters you didn't begin to get bored of their lack of deviation of abilities or how they used they
...
doing fights till the last episode. It almost felt like the numerous boring characters were just there to be pretty to look at and watch fight.
Sound 6
Was decent suffered from the same problems as the art as it got stale after awhile and wasn't memorable. Still enjoyable rock and normally used at appropriate times. It got a 6 simply because the OP was pretty bad.
Character 1
Its been along time since I have been so uninterested in an entire cast of characters. To start their motivations are either overly petty or so completely looked over one can never tell why they are doing things. The only person who thats clear with is Moral who they developed little to no back story for. The characters they gave back story for was either hastily told (Birthday and Ratio) or so blatantly obvious of a cliche (Three) there was no need. Also the amount of time they dedicated to three was unnecessary. Also those two kids who they saved early in the show keep reoccurring for NO APPARENT REASON. They were boring had no powers didnt help progress the story character development or anything else in the show. With an already overly large cast for a 12 episode season why in the hell would you add focus on more characters? Honestly if you want to see what not to do when making characters for a story just watch this.
Enjoyment 4
It didnt capture me in anyway shape or form except for the art style. If I hadn't begun watching this the week before it ended I would have never finished it. It has its moments however but they are never the scripted ones (if a "dramatic" scene is coming up be prepared to be disappointed) however the fight heavy episodes were fun to watch. Also I found the first 3 episodes enjoyable and if it had solely stuck with the Private investigator thing it could have been a better series.
Overall 4
Feels rushed in every sense. Wouldnt suggest watching it
