After a successful first cour that was released on bilingual DVD and Blu-ray last year, Sentai Filmworks is just about a week away from the debut of the second cour titled RE: Hamatora. The second half of the series is scheduled for a January 26th, 2016 release and has its English language adaptation directed by Christopher Ayres. The main dub cast remains the same from the first season as expected but there are a few new faces in the mix for new/supporting characters that should delight some fans.

Check out our review of the first season here.
Plot concept: Nowhere may seem like just another Yokohama cafe, but as with many of its employees, this apparently innocent eatery leads a double life. Because Nowhere is also where you can find Hamatora, the mysterious detective agency run by P.I.s who are Minimum Holders, individuals gifted with extraordinary powers and abilities. When a series of serial murders all turn out to involve other Minimum Holders, their kind may be targeted for extinction in Hamatora the Animation! For the right price, you can hire founder Nice, who moves at the speed of sound, and partner Murasaki, whose super strength and near invulnerability are a significant asset. Of course, with incredible talents like these up their sleeves, Nice may not decide to take a case unless it personally interests him. But when a series of serial murders all turn out to involve other Minimum Holders, that interest is about to become extremely personal. Something monstrous is going on, and Minimum Holders as a class may be targeted for extinction!
