My opinion
Author's opinion after finished 12 chapters of this "Hamatora", this Anime is quite unique, although it is not that breathtaking fun or excellent action, this story still acceptable for whoever don't know what to watch (personally, I like this season).
The story run smoothly, not too fast, not too slow...The main idea rather complicate, but capable to watch and understandable. (Although, in 2-3 chapters of the beginning made me feel a little confuse and suspect about the main character's ability for a while). Author could enjoy the story of each chapter that although each chapter is summarised (except 3-4 last chapters), it also has some connecting points between each chapter which will be revealed step by step.
Things that increased the drama level and reality of this Anime is the story inserted a small point of social insulting between different groups of people (only a little point of view) which reflected towards the end that also can considered as the climax of the Anime.
To sum up, for author, this anime is acceptable for entertain, but still not enjoy enough to attract me for re-watch all of it...However, it depends on readers that you will watch it or not, as I've stated in the top of every review that the story which made me less addict, maybe it could be the most enjoyable of you. ^_^
