Well, let's start w/ the story first, so I can give my opinion clearer after explain the situation of the series. It's quite different yet still related w/ Hamatora The Animation Series. Re:_Hamatora focuses on different problems and main characters. Let's say it's about Hajime-chan background, also the 1st time she met Nice-kun. This background connects w/ Art and his goal to maintain what's left back there. Along the story progresses, there is Saikyou involved for more, and Freemum.

    The story itself sounds a bit more complicated, nevertheless that's what makes the series intriguing. This concept is so solid, and way better the graphics here. The viewers will not just feel the up and down from battle scenes of Minimum Holders superiority. Also, the feelings wrapped within story. What annoys me sometimes are, many different situations and places in a story, so few sections cut off often. If I may compare, the cut off Re:_Hamatora is more pleasant than Hamatora The Animation, but still...err~well they did their best.

    Music for both opening and ending song are good. While the rhythmic of opening song is keen, the ending song is slower and mellow. The opening song titled Sen no Tsubasa is a collaboration between Livetune adding Takuro Sugawara. For the ending theme, performed by Ayami, Brand New World.

    Characters are developing their improvement for the storyline and makes it complicated passionately. The cases and antagonist characters stormily the city for revolutionary age is wrapped nicely. We know deeper even about the side characters personality.

Personally, I give this series 7 rate.
Pros:

• The involvement of characters and storyline

• Focuses only to few characters
• The cut-off sections are odd

• *) Freemum is somewhat community contains of Minimum Holders gathers by the speech of Art w/ his hidden motive, and being use by Ishigami Shun'ichi who stands as the one, propose the idea of Yokohama being an area to provide freedom for Minimum Holders, then forced government to accept his demands.
• *) Minimum Holders are humans w/ superiority biologically gifted. They are minorities who always be excommunicated by society. Their abilities are varies from such body regained, strength, speed, even supranatural matters.

I would have wanted to finish this since S1 was so good. The jump cuts every 3 minutes and the sound that goes with them ruined my immersion though, so I couldn't get into it. The sound that went with them was just as awful as the jump cuts. If it was like the 1st and did scenes in full i'd be fine.

The two seasons of this anime were really awesome. Both have only 12 episodes - but it is actually okay. 24 episodes are enough to tell us the whole story with the minimums, the characters' story and all ! ~ 
The first season of Hamatora was great. I always have some difficulties to start an anime, since I'm quite lazy and all... But this one interested me. A lot. If you love detective stories, with supernatural powers, blood and awesome characters, then you will love Hamatora. 

The second season was awesome. I think I preferred the 2nd season, 'cause of the development of many characters like Hajime or Art... I found it much more serious than the previous season, and that's why I loved it.

I had a really good time watching Hamatora. I was always excited to see the episodes, never been bored... For me it was a success. I'm going to read the scans.

Story is really good but for some reason the execution lacks the punch to make it an must watch, still if you are interested give it a look.

A really good anime, no, a perfect anime. That was perfect, just perfect until the last second. With the first season, Hamatora is the best show of 2014. WATCH IT.
