The second season of Hamatora is set to land on July 7th, 2014, which will be called Re:_Hamatora, or “Reply Hamatora“ and now a new extended three minute promotional video for the series has arrived. The new promo plays up the music a good bit and for those that watched the first season, it shows some of the changes in store for the characters. The show has done a decent job of rolling out new spots and promotional pieces for it and this one certainly hits up the mood right with an upbeat bit of music highlighting it, which is no surprise since Avex is the one bringing out this particular spot.
The main cast of the series is returning and the staff is fleshing out with mostly the same group but with studio Lerche taking on the main role while NAZ will be collaborating. The series is based on the original work by Cafe Nowhere with Seiji Kishi directing based on scripts by Yukinori Kitajima and Jun Kumagi with character designs by Yu Wazu and Keiko Kuraosawa. Kurosawa will also be handling the animation direction. The cast breakdown is as follows:
The series stars Hiroshi Kamiya as Art, Ryota Ohsaka as Nice, Wataru Hatano as Murasaki, Emiri Katō as Hajime, Eri Kitamura as Honey, Jun Fukuyama as Birthday, Katsuki Murase as Three, Kiyono Yasuno as Koneko, Takuya Eguchi as Mao, Yūichi Nakamura as Ratio, Yousuke Akimoto as Gasuke and Atsushi Ono as Master.
Original Concept: An original multi-media project with a manga and anime, the Hamatora anime revolves around a group of humans who possess a special hereditary power known as “Minimum,” and are known as “Minimum Holders.” Minimum Holders Nice and Murasaki run a detective agency called “Hamatora,” and when they are hired to investigate a certain case, they cross paths with an old acquaintance, Art, who is chasing the same case as a police officer. As they investigate deeper into each of the cases, they discover that both cases are related, and that all the victims are Minimum Holders, like themselves.
