I am leaving this review for my future self.
When I come and read it, I will be surprised that I don't remember anything about this show.
It had a good soundtrack, but the tracks are repeated too often so it gets a bit annoying.
Not much explanation is given about this world, why there are superpowers and what are those "kings" exactly.
That's generally okay, as there is a plot which is easy to follow. But it was a bit too slow for me, and also unfocused.
A lot of screen time is given to things which are ultimately left unexplained, for example why the blue guy with glasses left the red guys?
We saw several times a conflict between him and one of the main red guys, but 0 understanding at the end of the season as to wtf happened there that led to him leaving and this conflict.
Main guy's…

K is honestly such a hidden gem that usually gets slept on because people think it’s just "pretty colors" with no plot. But once you actually get into it, the lore of the Seven Kings is really cool and unique for an urban fantasy. The animation and music are top-tier-the neon vibes and the jazz soundtrack just make everything feel super high-end and stylish.
The story starts a bit slow, but the mystery kept me hooked way more than I expected. The characters aren't just perfect heroes; they have real flaws and motives that make the ending actually hit hard. Even if you've heard mixed things, you should just give it a shot for the atmosphere alone. It’s one of those shows where the more you watch, the more you appreciate the world-building. Definitely an underrated 9/10 for me. Just go for…

k is not good. it's not good and that's okay.
the story as a premise is pretty good but the way they executed it left me with more questions than anything.
the art is really good, i love how long all the characters are.
the characters themselves save the show, without them i wouldn't have watched it, that being said they're not incredible and definitely are generic (although some of them are a lot better than others-- saruhiko, misaki, mikoto, etc), i still love them though.
the music is hilarious, something horrible could be happening and they'll have dubstep playing in the background.
the fanservice is actually absurd, but it's so absurd that it crosses over the line of disgusting into hilarious. but hey, they don't sexualize the little kid so kudos to them for that.
overall it's r…

This will be a simple review of my favourite anime franchise, so I'll be concise.
This anime is seriously such a vibe... It has amazing visuals, an amazing and quite comfy atmosphere like no other, phenomenal OSTs, charismatic and badass characters, plot twists, groundbreaking action, an ACTUAL good MC in Shiro, etc.
It's a very unique series that doesn't have annoying tropes that you tend to see in many anime nowadays.
Honestly, the ONLY flaw this series has is the fan service, but at the same time, there's for both the male and female audience (more for the female side 100% with it's very attractive male cast), so it balances it out. Also, not that common or distracting.
So, yeah watch this masterpiece. It's unbelievably great despite it being quite old at this point.
Oh, and Yata M…

K-Project is a unique experience. I accidentally found this anime and didn’t really have much hope for it, considering the ratings and stuff, but I was surprised once I finished it—yes, all seasons and movies. It then became my favorite, and here’s why:
Story (10):
Without spoiling anything, K-Project’s story is a mix of mystery, tragedy, friendship, betrayal, sacrifice, identity, and power struggles. It's set in a world where different kings with different supernatural powers lead their clans, and our protagonist, seemingly an ordinary boy, gets involved in their business due to a murder mystery. That’s how our story begins. It might be slow and even confusing at the start, but the little bits of information it gives you along the way serve as important story devices and foreshadow the d…

I enjoyed the plot and honestly dont have a single issue with the anime. I never really felt lost or confused and honestly liked all the characters for the most part except Yata (I will admit he's kinda cool tho). While the anime didn't answer almost any questions, it felt complete and i enjoyed it for what it was. I never got too attached to any of the characters which for me makes it an 8. I never got emotionally invested in this anime, it was just an enjoyable, problem free, watch.
idk if art style is the right term here since, to me, they just increased saturation and contrast a whole bunch. The art style looked like any other anime (maybe except the Swords and fight scenes) but otherwise why did it need to be so vibrant? Not complaining but idk if it served a purpose.

Note: This will be a review of both seasons, plus the movie.
Overview:
"K", also known as "K Project", is an interesting anime, to say the least. Instead of trying to do anything completely original, it borrows bits and pieces from various other anime, mostly urban fantasies, while also putting its own unique twists on them. The results are somewhat hit-and-miss; while it does manage to execute some of its ideas better than the anime it borrowed them from, in other cases it falls into the all-too-common trap of valuing style above all else, though ultimately the positives of the series outweigh the negatives, and it rewards viewers who have a lot of patience.
Story (7/10):
"K"'s two seasons both tell a separate story, both of which are connected by the movie "Missing Kings", which bridge…

This anime is not outright terrible, it's just very boring. It has an interesting premise, a unique art style, and interesting character design. I wanted to like it so I watched the whole season, but I never got invested. The story was bland and uninteresting at best and confusing at worst. The stakes and drama never felt genuine, and I was very lost throughout multiple episodes. If the audience was given a little more clarification, the characters had a little more depth, or if the audience felt more of a personal investment in the stakes, it would be much more compelling. Overall, it's not the worst thing I've watched, but I won't be thinking about it again. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, and I wouldn't rewatch it.

This anime is carried by its top-tier art and animation.
Action-wise, the first episode of the show baits you into thinking the show will be an action-packed turf war between clans with different powers. You end up seeing barely one fight half-way through the anime and a little more sprinkled throughout the last few episodes with one final fight. A lot of potential fights end up being escape scenes.
Story-wise, the main "group" you follow throughout the story feel like side-characters for most of the anime. The world you're set into has absolutely no context; you're left wondering "why" anything of what you're seeing is happening, not to mention there are parts that are convoluted for nothing.
Art and animation wise, the art of the environment (especially the school setting) is close to…

Leaving another brief review without spoliers ,based in my experience watching this series.
I think that i dont need to aclare about what the series revolve into, the story itselft i encountered it pretty interesting with some mystery and good fight scenes (at least the onces that were presented), now even althought the story in general its nothing that we havent seen until now, has been done pretty well i must say just (based at least in the premise that its presented to us) by reading the synopsis i think if you are an fan of shonen generes this would be an good optiion.
Now as always say depending of how many characters you introduce and focus on, its depends the amounts of episodes that the series should have because if not the series would feel rushed or bad paced with many plot ho…

From a name like "K" you would expect something unique, some thing different! Well I hoped so too, But sadly K fails to work up its plot and characters for the sake of fan service, and looking cool in a very cringe way.
In a typical story you would make sure your viewers understand the limits of this worlds power system, K didn't set limits, in fact K didn't try to explain anything at all about that. Powers were just there for the sake of looking flashy and cool. Another one of the biggest mistakes K did with it's story is to add an unnecessary school setting. If you remove that part of the story, it would make it so much better. Because it simply didn't add anything worth while to the story. It should've focused on it's main "Mystery" theme and developed it's main cast instead of adding…

Just re-watched this after having not seen it for many years, I forgot how much I truly enjoyed this show back in the day. I'm terrible at writing well fleshed out reviews [most of the time] so I will make this short. This anime is extremely underrated and is one of my favorites of all time. The story can be a bit confusing at times, albeit still very well done in my opinion, especially when you don't have the patience to read manga like me [thanks ADD]. The OST is like butter to the ears and sets a great mood for the scenes. The characters are all very interesting, Neko is my favorite of course, she's just too dang cute and the amount of fan art of her and for this show in general is sorely lacking. The art style sets an interesting tone as well, and is fairly unique, I love how there ten…

The color grading, animation, and music were very nostalgic. It's very reminiscent of those Japanese PSP games that I used to be so fond of when I was in middle school.
You won't hear a lot of complaints about how this show looks and sounds 'cause everything in those departments were done quite well.
BUT... the story sucks. It feels rushed and none of the characters leave a huge impact on the viewer. The main character's arc felt like a cop out. In the beginning it was quite slow and chill as if we were going to get a lot more changes to the plot but it turned out to be stagnant until later on. The way they explained the concept of the 7 kings left a lot of questions, they were also missing a couple of kings, it was also explained pretty later on. The ending and the climax were pretty u…

This was actually really good. I feel like you would enjoy it if you like suspense and intelligent dramas. It definitely had me at the edge of my seat and asking so many questions that all got answered in the end. A good mystery drama.
I love it because they don't spoon feed you. So as a watcher I love the fact that my brain was engaged.
For me, this was definitely a classic. I loved the multiple plot twists. I read some of the other comments which were like the story was everywhere but the reality is it is a mystery. They don't spoon feed you the plot. There are multiple flashbacks that help put the pieces of the puzzle together.
The story was amazing. At first, I was like what's going on, it was jam-packed with action. Then a few episodes in, I was like it makes sense and I realised…

So, I take back what I said in my review in Charlotte--the show was just badly written. So...
I remember I first watched this because I confused it somehow with K-On a few years ago and when I saw it again on Netflix, I decided to give it a shot even though I was so confused when I watched the first episode because I had no idea what was going on. At the time of writing, I actually finished the 2nd season a few weeks ago after watching the movie after the 1st season which serves as an epilogue--an important part. I've always said that No Game No Life is my favorite anime whenever I thought about it, but K definitely breaks that.

The two genres I avoid are action and adventure since it prolongs a lot to a point that it becomes stale (which is why I stopped watching Fairy Tail…

I was initially hooked by both the implicit and explicit mysteries of the show. Aside for the murder mystery where the MC was framed, there was also the implication that he might not be who he thinks he is based on subtle foreshadowing. The characters were also okay, along with some mysterious sci-fi on people trying to rule over each other with supernatural powers. I think there were gangs involved.
That being said, I'm not sure if I should call it a masterpiece. Halfway through, it got a little slow. The MC's a bit bland and the other characters tend to simply stick on certain archetypes. Some of the plot lines could be predicted. The animation, artwork, and OST didn't stuck with me as great or awful. It's average.
Overall, I think it's an okay anime show to watch but not necessarily…

Honestly, K project isn't that good of an anime. The plot was eehhh and the pacing was all over the place- i wouldn't praise it as a 'good anime'. I personally really enjoyed it because it was deep and quite entertaining, but i know clearly that this anime isn't for everyone and it's understandable why people wouldn't like it. I wouldn't recommend this anime to anyone who enjoys well written plots, but if you're prepared to go in without any expectations and just let yourself go along for the ride, then you should give the anime a go.
Before I start reviewing the plot and characters itself, let's talk about how beautiful the aesthetics of this anime are. If you're afraid the animation and art are going to be similar to Gohand's other works, don't be deterred. The animation and style of th…

K is an anime I remember hearing a lot about right before it came out and little after when it finally aired. From the trailers it looked amazing with exceptional artwork and dazzling characters, but I heard from people who had seen the show that it ended up being somewhat underwhelming. For that reason, I put this show off for a long time and finally got into it recently when I ran out of stuff to watch.
While I can see why people were disappointed with this series, and despite its problems, I feel that the show doesn't get enough credit. In fact, I'm convinced it's one of the more underrated anime out there. For anyone interested in getting into the show, I personally recommend going into it with as little knowledge as possible and as few expectations. For this reason, I'm going to keep…

I watched anime and all the movies. I personally enjoyed watching it and the ART IS AMAZING.
It is more of a drama-type with lots of emotions, but it has a lot of fighting scenes too.
I do find it sad. Maybe it's just because I really hate when characters I find interesting die, but still the story is MAINLY FOCUSED ON EMOTIONS.
You will see a lot of action, but behind everything, you will be able to see/hear/read the character's reasons why they did that.
I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYBODY who likes to see more about human psychology and emotions.
Kinda like nicer view on humankind than Izaya from Durarara has.

Story (7): The story was unique and fresh to me with this sort of gang violence between the seven kings. The only con really would be the pacing of the story, but even that picked up towards the end and made sense when taking into account the large cast.
Art (10): The characters, the background, and the animations. Wow, just wow. Hands down some of the best I have ever seen and mad props to GoHands for this.
Sound (10): Also a masterpiece. The sounds in K always seemed to fit the story and reminds me much of final fantasy with how beautiful they were.
Character (10): The characters were all very interesting too. The kings and their loneliness, the loyalty of the red clan compared to the subordination and discipline of the blues. The friendship between certain red and blue clansmen and…
