Release: ??.??.2014
Description: The story revolves around "Minimum" or "minor miracle"— special hereditary powers discovered only in an extremely limited number of humans. Those who possess such powers are known as "Minimum Holders."
Partners Nice (Ryota Ohsaka) and Murasaki (Wataru Hatano) form a detective agency called "Hamatora" in Yokohama in 2014 — but their "office" is a table at Cafe Nowhere where they and their friends wait for clients. An old acquaintance of theirs, a cop named Art (Hiroshi Kamiya), hires them for a serial murder case he is investigating, and they discover that the murder victims are all "Minimum Holders." As Minimum Holders themselves, Nice and Murasaki are drawn into this case, whether they like it or not.
Tatsu is looking forward to this. I say this with a posed look.
Old man rape and murder the golddigging schoolgirls
What a great 1st impression
Hope the next cases are as good as this
Say what?! That's not even close to what happened!
The old man in question had serial affairs with college girls; one happened to hear him mumbling the number to access a mysterious safe of his in his sleep. He then died, leaving the safe (with no combination known to the family) along with his estate.
The bad guys of this episode were after the contents of said safe, and thus were serially kidnapping the girls, hoping to find one that knew the number.
The old man, in fact, is dead before the episode starts :P .

Ooh, this show sounds interesting.
FYI, safe content were schoolgirl-themed porn mags.
edit: also
grandson was educated as a very strict and prude person
I was wondering how they were going to tie up all those loose plots
And then they didn't! Masterfully done, Hamatora
Wow, that ending. Just... wow.
Definitely gonna watch the continuation.
I think you summed it up pretty well there.
I... just don't have much to add. But I definitely have questions.
So, Art is still alive? Meaning his Minimum power is... resurrection or something similar? And he's gonna shoot Nice execution style.... why? That makes no sense whatsoever. UNLESS that is NOT Art, but Moral using his initial powers of copying? But that doesn't make any sense either. Seriously. What the hell!
The powers in the show were pretty cool, but a bad series otherwise. Will I watch season two though? Hell yes.
what is the hacker woman relationship with Art?
somehow, i kinda understand how the last ep ended like that...Art was swayed by Moral's word, as the Holder gets to do something because of their power (almost all the case he handled was solved/ended by Holder)
his power? maybe copy other Holder's power, cloning, regen etc
this seasons anime = open end
nevertheless, great anime~
