(L+CR) Hamatora (Seasons 1 & 2)

[KleenexGhost]

Just heard the full version of Hikari. Wataru Hatano did not disappoint.

Spoiler for Episode 7:

The new episode is focused on Art's character and more revelations behind Minimums. Too bad even though he's part of the main cast, his last words feels bland and his poor Minimum grades during childhood as well his flashback was just a cheap trick to make me care about his character. Hell, even Ginoza from Psycho-Pass, which was also somewhat similar, was better written than Art. His confrontation against Moral wasn't much better, though at least it comes from one of the substantial details of the main plot. The scene when they're angrily looking each other screams 'blatant pandering" but I only take that visually. The series' personal enjoyment gets even worse and its story is starting to get rushed and predictacle a lot more (not like I didn't see that happen in the early episodes). No time to drop it though, since I really like the color coordination of the series and the music was very fitting, the few things that make me keep watching.

I personally thought the backstory was mildly interesting. They should have spent some more time on character development and backstory rather than on those boring cases. Things are probably gonna get serious from now on, let's see how this will end~

Spoiler:

Poor Art ;~~;

Moral didn't have to shoot him that many time...

[Mad Pierrot]

Damn that episode. It was quite sad. I thought Art would have joined Moral. Moral also became quite disutrbing out of nowhere. However, there is something weird with the flashback. Hajime wasn't in the academy.

[ChampDream]

sad episode
wonder what did Moral said to Art at the end?

[Ougon]

Art~!!!!!!! Hamatora is really turning out to be one of the best shows of this season, surpassing animes adapted from LNs, like SutoBura and Tokyo Raven, by a wide margin!

Though such a pity that it will be a single cour...

This show is filled with salting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting the confidence trick one), dark triad, abreaction, macdonald triad, voice to skull, love bombing, and the list goes on and on (no it really does!). People really need to sit down and work through this maze called Hamatora.

Did anybody notice that Nice is wearing Art's brother's jacket?

Can you clarify on why you think that way about the show?

Are you referring to why it ranks above the animes that were adapted from the LNs this season?

If so then, I already did explain, at least a part of it, in the same post.

If your still not satisfied, you can take a look at the Sutobura anime thread for the another, completely different, reason.

Ha, I did not catch that. Talk about hints.

[Faerie]

Aw Well, curse you, Moral.

[waffler]

In the flashback. He was sitting next to Art.

[GDiddy]

...well fuck. This is the second show this season in which the one character that I like winds up offed....

However, unlike Nobungaga the Fool, most of the characters don't give me serious Gary/Mary Sue vibes...so I'll probably finish it off.

[shmaster]

So... who is going to be that "spiritual successor" of Art?
But how is Hajime is going to become important at this point??

BTW, I liked how Art managed to crack Moral's facade.
Even just briefly, Moral stopped talking in that cheer stage act like voice.

Her entire character is a mystery. She didn't go to Facultas yet she has a Minimum.

About the successor, I think it's not meant to be good. Now, Moral shapeshift into Art.

[LKK]

I'm very sad that Art died. I liked him.

Nice is going to declare war when he realizes that Moral killed Art. I hope Nice doesn't lose himself completely in the process.

Some intriguing background information was revealed. I was surprised at how few of the cast actually graduated from the minimum school. I'm particularly interested in why Nice left early. I'm willing to bet it had something to do with Art's brother.

[Cloudedmind]

Ugh, poor Art. Hopefully, we'll eventually find out what Moral told him before he killed him.

[ookamigirl]

Yay for the main story!
Was about time they started to put more of it.
Art's history took the spotlight this time.
It was interesting to find out more about him.
That white haired freak is pretty obnoxious.
What's with those pointy teeth; a pretty obvious villain.
Art was a pretty cool guy, what a shame.

[Mad Pierrot]

So there is a theory the names everybody have are actually made up by Facultas based on this



Notice that the names have been left in blank?

Aaargh. I honestly thought Art was going to hang around for a long time but no... Damn it Moral. I was still hoping that he only stabbed Art and left him to die but instead, Moral gave assurance shots which pretty much killed any chance of Art surviving.

I'm going to miss him since he is a very good guy as well.
