Synopsis

The ability to create miracles is not just a supernatural phenomenon; it is a gift which manifests in a limited number of human beings. "Minimum," or small miracles, are special powers that only selected people called "Minimum Holders" possess. The detective agency Yokohama Troubleshooting, or Hamatora for short, is composed of the "Minimum Holder PI Duo," Nice and Murasaki. Their office is a lone table at Cafe Nowhere, where the pair and their coworkers await new clients.

Suddenly, the jobs that they begin to receive seem to have strange connections to the serial killer whom their friend Art, a police officer, is searching for. The murder victims share a single similarity: they are all Minimum Holders. Nice and Murasaki, as holders themselves, are drawn to the case—but what exactly is the link between Nice and the one who orchestrates it all?

Initially, I didn't like this anime. That's why I left it on hold for literally years. But the aesthetics are solid and I needed another mystery anime to watch, so I decided to go back to it and see if it gets better. It did.
The biggest flaw is definitely that the beginning is pretty cliche anime humor, but it quickly gets more complex from there. I just finished it a couple of weeks ago and I am already rewatching it. I wouldn't say it's perfect or a masterpiece, there are definitely flaws. But the plot and characters are both deeply interesting. I can't say too ...

Mixed Feelings
I remember watching the first couple of episodes after it first aired and liking it, but as usual, my attention span quickly switched focus and I never finished it. This year, I remembered it and decided to include it in my MAL 2022 challenge. And that's honestly the only reason I finished this in the first place.

The problem with Hamatora, in my opinion, is that it's too fast. Some episodes in particular feel far too rushed for a show that's 12 episodes long, with forced background stories and random emotional moments that feel entirely out of left field. The characters are fine, not perfect nor ...

Well, I'm sure I can't say anything new, more than these reviews already did, however, I'd like to give my personal opinion about this.

I happened to watch Hamatora because I love Pyscho-Pass, and this anime was in the recommendations. At first, I had faith, but then I lost it in the second episode I lost it. This is nothing like Psycho-Pass.

The characters are so poorly built is obnoxious to look at them, there's no background, the story is not interesting, rarely appealing. And if anyone can compare these two (Nice and Moral with Kogami and Makishima) please refrain yourself from committing such a crime. Moral ...
