Re:_ Hamatora is a sequel to Hamatora, and it's even better than the first season. I have to be honest that the first season left such a huge cliffhanger, and Season 2 will answer all those questions you have in mind. This anime deserves more love, it's underrated. This definitely goes to one of my top 5 animes. Why?
Story: [9]
The creators know how to connect to you and your emotions. This is one of Hamatora's greatest points. It isn't rushed, nor is it too slow.
Although, during the last three episodes, things felt a little bit rushed. They could've slowed things down a bit. The last few episodes felt like they were trying to fit in all the events. They could've done better.
On the other hand, this anime is a rollercoaster ride. As I've said earlier, the creators know how to hit you with emotions. Other episodes will make you laugh, others will make you despise characters, while other episodes will make you stressed and fill your mind with thoughts. It knows how to balance things, it's unique in its own way.
Art: [10]
The anime itself is really colorful and full of life, and at the same time really dark and sad. As I've said, Hamatora knows how to balance, and one of the things they know how to balance is the Art Style. They know when it's necessary to create a dark atmosphere/feel or when it's not.
Sound: [8]
I honestly loved the opening and ending songs. Aside from that, I think they could've used better and more remarkable background music in some scenes.
Character: [10]
Again, one of Hamatora's strongest points: Character Development. I love how they showed everyone's backstory. You get to know each character more.
Enjoyment: [9]
It's something I would always look forward to watch.
However, what made the Enjoyment Rate a 9/10 is the transition scene. The transition scene on Season 2 was bad. Perhaps a different sound would be better, or a different background. I'm not a fan of the transition scene.
Overall: [10]
So overall? still a 10! Names, felt weird at first. You'll get really unusual names, or odd.
The ending's really good. I've never felt this kind of satisfaction.
This series made me feel so many emotions, and that's what I love about it! I love how they paid attention to the details in the ending. Flaws here and there, but overall, this anime is still worth a try.
