Don't act like inflated scores on a premiere is something out of the ordinary, you've been here long enough.

Or you could just shitpost like some other people by posting a small "background only characters" screencap.

I actually like this franchise. It's not the best, but it's alright. Visually speaking, it was one of the most beautiful TV anime I've seen... until this. Excessive usage of utterly terrible 3DCG doesn't make something look good. Not to mention, the fight choreography is non-existent. It's just "let's throw this guy at that guy and have some sparks when their weapons meet each other"..... and Seri's ass. The entire episode was disgusting. Even Lance N' Masques had a better start than this.

Finally, after years of waiting :tearsofjoy:

Animation was insane, like DesuTronic said, I was jizzing through my eyes. That skateboarding scene alone had more budget than whole season of Owari no Seraph lmao

I facepalmed on that fanservice scene with Seri's huge boobs ( huge being an understatement) but i don't care much of it tbh, I'm just glad my eyes are witnessing more K content

I hope this wont suffer from pacing problems like the first season. The art is amazing as always I dont appreciate the use of CG though. It seems Shiro's finally gonna show himself. Good thing he's not just a plot device in this season. And they definitely leveled up the fanservice, Seri providing most if it.

I'm one of the few people who find this episode annoying. Too much fanservice, the whole episode consists of that and scenes seemingly put together randomly.

Music and animations are great as always, though.

Are you saying a detailed art like that is worse than the example I gave?
l.


This is not detailed art. Its a CG art which is ugly as hell, and yes, I prefer less details but nice, esthetic and proper-dimensional looking in general. The same goes to framerate, 12fps normal animation is whole universe better than 60fps CG animation.

I really don't mind CG if it is used right (KyoAni, PA Works or Shaft for example, even Ufotable's animation is bearable for me), but not if whole scene is made in 3D with 2D characters.



Looked like rotoscoped CG shit to me (with that garbage, cringe worthy skateboarding scene especially). It was fucking lazy. They just tried to disguise it with fast transition.

Also, it seemed to me that they animated it at a very low resolution to speed things up and then just poorly upscaled the whole thing. I dunno intricacies of animation though so fuck knows.


Edit: Also, a lot of you folks (SJWs?) are complaining about the girl showing her splendid cleavage (Objectifying herself?) but not about the clearly-hard-gay-for-each-other blue and red's obsession with each other. Biased much.

What just happened? I mean, this episode was just PURE fanservice. And I don't mean only Seri's close up shots, but the whole 8 minute long Suoh vs. Munakata fight, and of course both Yato vs. Fushimi fights. That's also fanservie. I'm sure that the whole tumblr is now screaming in delight. And that basically was the whole episode.

C'mon, where's the plot?!

Well, I had high expectations, but I guess this episode just brought them down...
So I'm not the only one.

That was a pretty shitty first episode, imo.
Needless fighting without any explanation and any real outcome. Ridiculous jelly tits and demeaning panty shots.
Hardly any plot besides the green clan trying to annoy the others, who - for some reason - play right into it.
Also not enough Kuroh.


I'm not the only one! YAY. :D

I basically agree with your every sentence.

Although I have to add that K is a franchise that spans across several media, and the direct sequel of K: Missing Kings Movie was actually the short manga called K: Countdown, and the K: Return of kings is direct sequel to this manga. My point is: The green clan was annoying people in the manga already, so really this episode haven't shown anything new. Nothing at all. There is NO plot whatsoever.

I'm so disapointed, especially that I really enjoy this franchise.

And so many people here seems to praise the animation, when it was basically all CGI, adn it was clearly visible. The previous season and the movie were very pretty as weel, but weren't so much CG.

So far, not good. I hope for the second ep to be better.

Well, and if the whole season is sh*t, I'll just delete it from my headcanon and go read some fanfiction.

I feel like this episode would have been better if all the plot points touched upon hadn't been recycled from the movie with absolutely no progression whatsoever. That would normally lead to a very disappointing episode, but I can't even say I minded too much because presentation wise this looked stellar.
Anyways, from future episodes I'm looking forward to seeing what the blue king will do about his sword falling to pieces and the reunion of Kuro and Shiro.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I see that half of MAL users commenting seem to already have their panties in a wad over a few scenes of fanservice yet again haha You guys must have been foaming at the mouth if you watched something like kill la kill

I thought that was pretty good, although I was annoyed we didn't get to really see a certain someone pop into the scene like I expected. Awesome animation and music, and the green squad looks pretty interesting. Flashback at the beginning was a bit disorienting but I liked it a lot.

The lower level members of the green squad are pretty shitty though, they clearly underestimated red and blue members. Hopefully we'll get some interesting backstory and motivation behind the green crew at some point, right now just looks like they're messing around with the other color gangs for the heck of it ..

opening credits were annoying af covering the whole screen.

There's no denying that the production is amazing, can carry any series with how breathtaking it is.

Story pacing is still style over substance though and the production did really well to paper over those cracks. Like is season 1 there's something there that will keep me invested for the entire journey that doesn't involve the animation and OST but if sensory overload from anime is possible this would do it. Mainly because for 20mins we almost never got a break from the soundtrack and just got extended character poses like they're Jojo characters.

There's just none of the mystery and elegance that season 1 held. Eye candy, high class eye candy at that but nothing much else.

Hmm, imo I felt like they were trying to portray the green clan as ruthless and manipulative, rather than weak wimps. It's like they created a sort of game system which makes use of their low level members to do the dirty work for them, and that they probably never intended to promote those members to higher ranks. Just 'expendable pawns' as Kuroh said.

This episode is so awesome spoiler Gojou Sukuna has appeared that he published that video that lead HOMRA to be pissed off wow. I didn't expect for the Green clan, JUNGLE, to go that far. Plus the lower clans men of JUNGLE are a bunch of idiots who tries to use a "bird" grenade directly at the Red and Blue clan, but in the end failed. What I think of the lower clans men are monkeys, because it is just a game but they don't know what are they doing thinking it is just for fun that they get an actual power up from an app. Probably I am just wrong of how I think of them just because of their actions. This clan is just so intimidating that it keeps HOMRA and SEPTER4 having problems and messing with them to lure out the Silver King.
