Nice (RYOTA OHSAKA) and Murasaki (WATARU HATANO) form the detective pair Hamatora. With the use of "Minimums" becoming a problem, we follow these two and the rest as one case after another ties into the mystery of a seriel killer.

STORY: In my opinion Hamatora has a really great concept. Yes it does have some standard cliches but overall i found it interesting. I gave it a 8 (and it may deserve a 7.5) because it did have its moments where it seemed to stray away from the interesting concept and gave us the somewhat comedic non-essential episodes, But without spoiling anything its does pick back up around episode 7 and finishes really solid.

Animation: The quality did seem to dwindle a tiny bit as the season progressed, but i was very impressed by the animation. This being the first show put out by NAZ i thought they did a wonderful job. It seemed crisp and the colors especially during the fights and the opening theme was a pretty well done addition to the show and i felt like it added to the experience. 

Sound: The sounds were done well, Voice acting was spot on, the OST was good for the most part, and i really enjoyed the Opening and Ending themes.                                     Opening theme: FLAT by Livetune featuring Yūki Ozaki                                                  Ending theme: Hikari by WATARU HATANO (Murasaki)

Characters: Overall the characters were interesting. Really wished they would have gotten more indepth with some characters and their abilities but i felt they all added to the show nicely and were all either loveable or hateable respectively.

Overall: It was a fun show. But i give it a 8.5 because i felt it lacked something. It did pick up really well near the end and i have to say the last episode was Amazing. Especially the last scene. Overall i enjoyed it a lot and seeing this at the end

 To Be Continued ( will add pic when i find one) made me happy because i know itll be just as good and hopefully better as the first season, and hopefully it comes out in this fall this year because i really want to know what happens.
