K (anime)

[Sunrise Lord]

I recently started watching an anime called "K." So far, I'm liking it. Has anyone else seen it?

[reyler]

I watched it a couple of months ago and ended up enjoying it. The first couple of episodes give you very little of solid content to grab onto; mostly just pretty visuals and loads of unnecessary fanservice. But if you can weather that until around episode three or four, when the plot settles in and you actually start getting a handle on the characters, you'll be good to go for the rest of the series. The mystery plot is actually rather engaging, and the finale had some surprising emotional resonance.

 

There's a second season coming up, and a movie that I haven't seen that bridges them.

[Sunrise Lord]

Yes, I forgot to mention that the mystery element was one of my favorite things about it so far!

[Sunrise Lord]

Finished. Although it was only 13 episodes, that was one of the best anime I've seen. Loved it.

The Homura members chanting "no blood, no bone, no ash" is a personal favorite.

I just finished it actually. I enjoyed it. I watched it in English so whenever Johnny Bosh started speaking I giggled. Even if it wasn't funny. I think I liked Kuroh the most I like swordsmen what can I say. 

[reyler]

Oh god, Johnny Yong Bosch was in that too? Guy is everywhere, and he never even bothers to use a different voice. Not my problem, though; I always try and watch a show in subs first, and maybe dubs later, if I hear the dub is good (most of the time it isn't).

 

I think I liked Mikoto the most, which is odd given that he sat out the first 2/3s of the season before they decided to show him off.

[Sunrise Lord]

I liked Shiro, even though his name really isn't Yashiro.

 

 

I read somewhere that there's supposed to be a second season. If that's true, I can't wait. :D

[Rasheta Ardashir]

I liked most of the characters except Neko she kind of annoyed me. The end confused me. 

 

I would assume there is more either coming or been released in Japan as I was looking at some characters and some were animated but didn't have English voices. *laughs* If that made sense kind of late here. Anyway looking forward to a new season if it comes. Sorta like i'm waiting for them to release Attack on Titan's second season. :) 

 

subs or dubs to each there own. :) I was just amused to note I'd met most of the main dub cast. 

[reyler]

I said there was a second season coming; it's supposed to be dropping this fall. There was also a movie that bridges the two; I haven't seen it and don't know what all happens in it beyond the selection of a new Red King.

 

Neko barely had any purpose in the plot that couldn't have been worked out some other way; it was clear she was there for nothing more than the T & A factor, same as Seri (Munakata's lieutenant). They barely even explained what she actually is.

I meant I had read it somewhere else. I actually liked Neko a little. She was perfect for balancing Kuro's seriousness.

[reyler]

I figured Yashiro did that well enough on his own, hence the dichotomy built right into their names. Plus, Kuro has the whole "comically serious" thing going on, what with his taped messages and all.

[nicana]

OK y'all have me interested. I'm going to have to check it out.

 

Is it on Crunchyroll?

[reyler]

It's on Hulu, at the very least; that's where I do all my watching. Had to watch Utena on Youtube, tho; Hulu only has the awful dub version.

[Sunrise Lord]

I watched it on Netflix.  Don't know about Crunchyroll.

[nicana]

OK thanks. I have Netflix. I'll check it out on there.

[Sunrise Lord]

Cool!  Let us know what you think.  

[reyler]

So season two has started up; you guys seen any of it yet? Obviously it's subs only so far. Hulu has it, as well as the bridge movie (K: Missing Kings), which I enjoyed. Especially the new character Yukari. I almost want to hear what the dubs do with his voice, and then I remember how awful Lucifer sounded when The Devil is a Part-Timer got dubbed.

 

Not a lot I can talk about of the newer content without spoiling things, though. I will say that they clearly are under the impression that the fanservice in the first season was too subtle, because every time Seri is onscreen, her ridiculous warhead boobs are gyrating like water balloons, or there's overt focus on her buttcheeks spilling out of the napkin she wears as a skirt. Plus it's quite clear that the only reason Neko's new outift includes panties is so she can flash them every time she jumps around like a loon.

[Sunrise Lord]

Ooh, no I didn't know it had started yet!  *goes to add to list*
