    This is a beautiful Anime

    The art and animation on this anime is beyond beautiful, The story progresses wonderfully over time but you must watch the 1st season, then the movie K: Missing Kings and then the second season to get the whole story. Love this one!

    So good

    One of the first anime shows I watched. I'm a huge sci Fi fan and this was just my cup of tea. The plot was intricate and the characters well thought out. The plot twist was amazing aswell 😍. I didn't expect it at all. I rewatched the first few episodes a few times since Its not a show you can watch now and then. I had to watch it all in 2-3 days to fully understand everything, but that might just be me. I haven't watched the movies and only the first season of the show. I'm planning on finishing the ones I haven't watched yet. But either way I know it will be as good as the first season. I would definitely recommend giving it a watch.

    Complete waste of time.

    Yashiro Isana hasn't led a very exciting life until now. But suddenly Shiro feels in the middle of a war between seven kings and is on the run because he is being prosecuted for a crime he did not commit. He is hunted by the Red King, Mikoto Suoh, and the Blue King, Reisi Munakata. His encounter with a young man named Kuroh Yatogami also changes his life forever.

    Yes, "K" looks pretty good, but sadly that's about everything the anime has to offer.

    The story is boring and the characters are flat.

    With Neko, the anime somehow tries to keep the viewers on the ball with fan service.

    I rarely quit series, but this series was a complete waste of my time, so I couldn't continue watching it after Season 1.

    Second Half is Good

    Started the "K" series with the manga then the light novels and finally the anime. All of them have different stories and to really enjoy the anime one needs to read the background story with the chronological order being the Light Novels- Manga and finally the anime.

    Now for the anime - It starts of with great animation & music, the colors and camera work are good specially the one's with skateboarding camera and the action sequence of the black dog fighting.But the story seem confusing, out of place with all the focus on the seventh king and no emphasis given on the Red or Blue clan. It's all silly humor and no tension, coming from reading the books and manga i was disappointed.

    As we get to the mid way of the series that is the sixth episode things start getting interesting. The plot starts moving and we get plenty of action and on whats really happening becoming clear. The ending is Great

    I really like the "K" world and am looking forward to the second season.
