Personally, K: Return of Kings does not live up to its first season. While the sound design and OST stood out - which is a part that I would give kudos to this anime for - the story and the characters were exceptionally lackluster and might I say... Boring.
There were times during this anime that I genuinely felt bored, the pacing while not too slow - there are in fact only 13 episodes - was not dynamic enough especially for the first 3 quarters of this season. On top of that, I was thoroughly disappointed with how useless the main characters seemed to be in this season. It honestly felt like the creators forgot the stories, powers, and purposes they gave to these main, supposedly exceptionally strong and intelligent characters in the previous season and movie. Shiro appeared to be as goo…

This series is one of the hidden gems in the anime community..
If you are an anime fan you owe yourself to watch both seasons of this anime,
I watched the S1 back in 2014 on Animax and was visually stunned by it.
In terms of animation, it's 8/10 since there is too much CG (more than necessary) but still enjoyable not on Hand shaker's level.
the story overall is 6/10 not because it is bad but rather it always seems like I am watching a small part of a much grander narrative (yeah, yeah I know should read the LNs) the plot is extremely rushed.
The characters are 7/10 not saying they are bad or average rather it has some of the best characters in any series till now but those characters are given very less screen time so I just can't connect with them. for example, Fushimi (the guy who b…

I really loved this show and decided to review it after listening to Rental by Juice WRLD after he sampled the intro of this which is absolute HEAT. Anyways back to the review, the animation is beyond it's time, this was in 2015 which is insane.
Character Design was amazing, I really loved the character design overall and it just felt so breathtaking even to watch this anime again, I still love it.
The story felt intriguing and overall I understood how the plot went throughout the whole show and it was just such an enjoyable show that I could watch fully.
When I first watched this all the characters were wholesome and you could really understand how their factions worked together and intertwined as society itself. I really hope there's another season to this if that will ever happen, I…

This is K, a story about supernatural powers and the kings that uses them. Well it's the sequel of K. This is actually a rewatch of this series. The story is as much as I expected of the K series. The story is of course one of the best part of K. Some battles in K are very good yet some are very underwhelming. I feel that the battles had much more potential that what was actually displayed. I didn't expect the appearance of another king so that was kind of surprising. Art and animation is pretty slick. The animations are also really smooth, thought it seems lots of budget went into Seri's ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). I personally loved the K soundtrack, the opening this time around is also very wonderful with Anna singing it. K has some pretty unique characters, such as Fushimi and Neko. Kuroh obsession o…

Im just going to state my opinion on the series not going to explain the story or a recap
First, I really loved the anime I started it because I liked the design of Suou Mikoto and the art is really good I really liked it, but the anime fails to get you attention the story could use a little more improvement expect for that everything else is perfect and I was amazed when I saw that this anime had 6 other movies expect the 2 seasons I don't know if I'm going to watch all 6 of them but ill try, but overall the anime is nice you can have fun with it it has its ups and downs, but overall I gave it an 8 I don't know if it's really an 8 but definitely a strong seven and I really liked the ending it was really nice now what I was expecting, but it sure surprised me.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FOR THIS SERIES AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL K!
What a disappointment!
So, for anyone who read my review for the original K series, you already know how much I love it. I still, to this day, believe that K is one of the most underrated anime shows out there and I stand by it. But after watching both the sequel movie as well as this series, it is more than clear that the writers of K did not learn from any of their past mistakes. In fact, they capitalized on the issues and added a plethora of new issues to the mix.
This review is going to be different from how I do them normally. Instead of talking about the good and bad, I’ll be going over the issues in detail, point by point.
So, to start off, let's list the biggest issues the original series had (in ord…

Quick take: A fitting conclusion to a decent series. Well worth the watch if you liked K and K: Missing Kings, but does lack some of the first series' charm and intrigue. Re-watchability is high as you'll likely forget the story lines after a little while.
The story line in Return of Kings is quite different from that of it's predecessors K and Missing Kings. Quite honestly, there was intrigue in K that is largely missing here. While in the first series you had a big mystery surrounding the main character, by the time we make it to Return of Kings, we're supposed to have a good knowledge of who the characters are. Still, the personal stories and personalities of the characters outside of Kuhro, Neko and Yashiro, are unremarkable in most aspects.
Art style remains the same from previous i…

An anime original does a few things quite good, and K series does not disappoint.
Like sound. Awesome soundtrack just like the first season. The opening and ending may not be remarkable but are still good. The background soundtrack, voice acting etc are phenomenal.
Art and animation are also one of the few things that are benefits from being an original work. Although, the repeated cut scenes of special moves do get annoying.
Sadly, the fight scenes, even though they probably planned to make them very intense, are quite lacking. They add flashy moves like the spinning of swords or preparation of a special attack but to hide the actual fights. Fast and odd camera angles to give the fight a sense of intensiveness.
There is a little bit of fanservice by the name of Awashima. Really, it se…

The artwork is also amazing. Feels like watching a movie not an animation. I never saw something like this before. The lens setting make it feels like it's not a drawing, it's not anime, it's a movie. Catchy back-sound also make it more live! Like every back-sound is really suit every scene. The coloring itself also "uncommon". Feels like the animator give some "effect" inside.
Talk about the story, well it's pretty stagnant yet focused in one mater. I love the consistency even though some of the story left curiousness like why there's only 5 kings while it says originally has 7 kings. What happened to the other kings? Why they don't have any successor and ext that need to be told in my opinion.
I also curios about the death of the green king. Why he can't be alive again while Weismann…

I was so hoping that I could grant this anime high marks. Sadly, though, it just didn't catch my interest. I didn't dislike much about the K franchise, but I also didn't find anything all that special.
The actual premise of this season was interesting, but the middle of the season would've been a better place to end it, in my opinion. The last five episodes or so were lacking excitement. I did still enjoy the characters I enjoyed in the first season of K, but there wasn't much more character development for any of them, so I bored of them quickly.
I did find the first season to be more intriguing than this one, as well, which is sort of the opposite of how I'd like it to be. One thing I can say that improved with this season was the music. It wasn't a huge improvement, but it wasn't as…

The first part benefited, i believe, from having only 13 episodes. This sequel suffered from it. Not in the sense that it was rushed, but in the one that they had too much time. (i gave the first season a 9 btw) Over the course of the review, i try to contrast what made the first season great and this season suck, and to anyone who hasn't watched it, i definitely recommend the first. The second maybe only for completion's sake.
To use the cliched phrase, as much as i hate it, the original K 'showed' and didn't tell. Much of the enjoyment i derived from it was from its reluctance to just hand me everything on a plate and have me try to read into what was being shown. While the sequel tries to do the same at times, most others, it just punches you in the face with what it wants to say. The m…

Personally, I really enjoyed this series. Here are the following reasons why.
First, the second season of this series enlightens on the backstory and for so long of a mysterious plot that seemed to not be all that visible in the first season. The second season especially shows that the first season was never meant to be a standalone.
Second, with each passing episode, most especially during the events of episode 5, in the second season more clarity to the events that transpired over in the first season is shined upon and made me appreciate the first season even more because with that new information unveiled, I am able to make more sense of the plot and mystery that once overshadowed the entire series.
Third, that "shadowyness" (made up word :P) and mysterious plot and motivation was a…

K: Return of Kings is the final installment of the K: Project Series. This is a pretty typical shounen anime, but I love shounen anime, so I may be a bit biased here.
(This is a no spoilers review)
Story:
Return of Kings picks up where Missing Kings (the movie) left off, with Kuro and Neko waiting/searching for Shiro. The main antogonist of this season is the Green King, and Shiro and the gang will have to pull out all the stops in order to match the super powerful Green King. The story seemlessly continues on the path the last two installments began, and the main plot of this season is fully thought out and well rounded.
Art:
Return of Kings has absolutely breathtaking art. All the character designs and scenery from the first two series is amped up and pushed to the limit, producing…

Absolutely amazing. The plot is superb. For new comers, this anime might be a little bit confusing considering there's a lot of clans and characters. If you feel like dropping this anime, I suggest you to push yourself through. If you do, you miss out a really good anime. Once you grasp the concept and the world of K, everything comes easily to you.
Plot: 10/10
Amazing. I've watched tones of anime and K's plot is definitely not a let down. It is built nicely and the plot expands as the story progresses.
Characterization:
I'm not sure why but I definitely love the main character, Isana Yoshiro. He's not overly powerful and likeable and he has flaws which makes his character more realistic to a certain degree. Though I find myself not favouring the girls in this series except for Anna…

After Mikoto & Tatara died this become the worst anime ever!
HOMRA!!
They are amazing they should become the main Characters, not the stupid Yashiro team!.
It will become more interesting and enjoyable if the main Characters like HOMRA!!
Next time they should think of that. this was a big chance to create an amazing anime.
Unfortunately, they focus on stupid atmosphere and some Ecchi shot.
That way (K: Memory of Red Manga) was amazing.
All HOMRA Characters has charisma make any one watch it scream with them (NO BLOOD,NO BONE,NO ASH!)
That what I want to say but it ask me to write more I don't have more word!

Well I am very late in case of watching anime and it would be very rare if someone would actually saw it
I am not going to explain story since there are other reviews for that(there are reviews for other things too but I am sharing my opinion)
May contain a spoiler or two
Let's start!
1:Story
Story was pretty good and was enjoyable,learning that Colorless King wasn't alone was quiet the fun too,Anna being in fights,Shiro being not clueless,the three Kings alliance all was good
9/10
2:Art and Animation
If you talk about the art and animation,both were good in terms of resolution and attractiveness,but the studio used same scenes over and over again,from season one as well as season two
I didn't like their laziness at all,like use some new stuff!if you are spending Mooney on something then…

Well, this is my first review so I decided to write about the second season of this fantastic anime that is K Project.
To start, I am going to talk about the story. I think that the way that the story is developed is much better than in the first season, being more complex and introducing us differents new characters. It keeps you waiting for more everytime you end an episode and you are always asking yourself what's going to happen next. About the end of the anime, I feel like they could had finished it in a better way, but they explain everything very well and they close the story succesfully.
To continue, I need to admit that the art is one of the things that first caught my attention about K. The charachters are beautiful, the backgrounds are incredibles and the fight scenes are ama…

I just finished watching it, and for me I think the story was summed up pretty well in the finale. Definitely have to watch the Missing Kings movie to fully appreciate it. I suppose one could say it was a little predictable--obviously the good guys win, the bad guys lose, and mostly everyone goes away pretty happily. But even still, I don't really mind that. How else would it end? With everyone getting powers and destroying the world like JUNGLE wanted?
The story wasn't all that unique for an anime from the beginning, but I don't understand some people's complaints about "plot holes". If you paid attention in the first season and in the film, and especially if you read some of the side stories and other manga (e.g. I read K: Black and White right before watching Missing Kings and it was n…

I personally don't like this anime,
The 1st season and all of the hype for this anime is just making this worse, especially with the lack of mystery from the 1st season and a lot of flashback just to keep us waiting.
The first season is special for me with all of their mystery and plot twist and how well they work there. In comparison, this second season is just not that special.
The visual also feels like a mess, with the blue hues thing and the ridiculously bouncy boobs. I don't really mind sexualization, I definitely think Neko's first appearance is really hot, but this is just.... ugh.
While we're talking about Neko, I'm disappointed with how uninvolved she is after the movie hyping her up like that. I can't even criticize it because there's just nothing to really critique.
Over…

It's hard to determine exactly how I feel about the second season of K. Right from the go the second season has a completely different atmosphere than the first -- removing what made it special.
The first season was almost more about the mystery than anything else. The presentation, atmosphere and direction all felt unique, albeit off-putting at times. It was a clever blend of randomness and showmanship that kept the audience engaged.
Which is precisely why the direction the second season takes doesn't come as a total surprise. Instead of being cleverly unique, from the beginning the second season is a completely over-produced, hyper-stylized train-wreck. The amazing sound design (/soundtrack) come back strong, but don't seem to match the atmosphere of the series at all. While I still a…
