| K was an okay anime. I heard the animation was good but I didn't really like it. The story was regular. The characters where under par in my opinion. The audio was good. I enjoyed it, which is the most important. 6/10 |

| God damn it! That is two depressing anime that I've watched in a row. Glad there is a sequel though. Going to enjoy that. Gave this a 7/10, maybe change it to an 8. I'm going to watch something funny now because I'm depressed. |
 |
| boring as fuck same fucking BGM every ep shit dialogue/plot that makes you wanna go zzzzzz predictable fight scenes that are too damn short cheap use of filter affect to give you that high quality and unique art 6/10 would not watch again... |
 |
| can't wait for the second season >.< i hope shiro didn't die |
 |
| I kinda-sorta-maybe enjoyed this but objectively scoring, it's a 5/10. Good ideas, strong OST, great potential, but horrible execution, pacing, characters too dull and underdeveloped, and the story just lacks at the end. This show would be great as a 24-episode series, if they gave the characters more backstory. If they kept it as a 13-episode anime, I would at least complicate things less. Leave out the side characters that really don't matter and focus on the main characters. My main issue was that random side characters like Mikoto, or Yata, or Seri kept on showing up when I didn't care about what was going on with them. Instead, I just wanted to see Shiro and the main plot which was about him being the Silver King or whatever. I thought that the characters were seriously too flat. When I-forgot-his-name died, I felt NOTHING. When Mikoto died at the end, I thought to myself, "Hm. Okay." Even Miyano Mamoru's character and Takahiro Sakurai's character didn't stand out to me that much. I admit the animation was stunning at times, but it was one of the reasons why I couldn't enjoy this show. Just too distracting at times, especially the overuse of green and blue overlays, the obvious fanservice, and the faces with no noses. Sorry, it sounds like I'm hating on this show but I'm just stating what I thought overall. Really had a lot of potential and hooked me from the second episode. I tried to like it, but I lost interest at the end. Too clusterf*cked. |

| What did Mikoto say to Munakata in the end ? |
marian11 said: What did Mikoto say to Munakata in the end ? If I remember correctly those final words were for Anna "Sorry I won't be able to show that pretty red anymore" |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| The thing that made me laugh most this series was that each character had their own soundtrack. You could always tell who was important in the scene by whose music was playing. It was a good series. I enjoyed it a lot. I personally, do not think that Shiro died. However, we will have to see. I hope the movie is good. |

| They should have explained how you attain the kings power and how Mikoto was over using his powers when the others did not. Or i misunderstood and you have to pass your powers to the next successor after a while. Should have gotten more episodes to make things more clear. |
| This wasn't near as bad as I have heard a lot of people say. It had its problems (I think the series should have explained a lot of things more, like how Kings are chosen, how they get their powers, what leads your Weismann levels to go to high, etc), but it was pretty entertaining and I am glad there is some form of sequel in the works. This wasn't the best ending, it seemed really abrupt. Also how does Kurou have powers independent of kings? And it is kind of strange that Neko is the only strain we saw in the series. It kind of makes her out to be more of a plot device than a character. OST was amazing though. |
| Amazing how they managed to create something so bland out of easy ingredients. At least the second half was watchable. |
| I think that was what this anime was, less about the plot and more about the relationships between the different characters, which is good because the plot was kind of a mess. Besides that, I absolutely love the soundtrack. I will keep an eye out on the upcoming movie. |
| Let's just say they intended to make it more about the characters than the plot. There was a lot of foreshadowing going on. I looked forward to watching each episode. |
Aydin said: It seems that they were old friends.either the sub was not translated properly because I didn't understand the tension between the blue king and red king?? what was their fight about? Aydin said: I believe he's thanking Shiro for bringing the colourless king so that Red could get revenge.The red king also says "thanks for brining him here." he's *supposedly* talking to the colourless king? Aydin said: Presumably, Red's power was decaying, and letting it 'die' a 'natural' end would result in some kind of catastrophe like the events vaguely hinted at throughout the show.when red king's " Sword of Damocles" chasing him down why did the blue king decided to kill him before the ' Sword of Damocles' kills the owner (the red king)?? Aydin said: what was the purpose of first king during the final battle? he didn't prevent anything.. "Hurry... Only a king can kill another king" was that the words of first king or colourless ? My memory of the event is hazy, but without the Silver King, Colourless would have been able to escape/complete his plot of stealing the ther King's powers while they were distracted in their duel. Those would be Shiro's words. Presumably, as he says, only Kings have the power to kill another king. Shiro says those words to prompt them to finish the Colourless king, who he's trapping inside his own body. |
Suzie said: I agree with what some have already said, it was a bit anti-climatic for a last episode, but I feel like the climax was more at episode 11-12 perhaps. Which I think is ok. No big stress except wondering if Munakata, Mikoto and Shiro are gonna be ok.. I really like Munakata so I was hoping a least he would be ok, which was the case! I was surprisingly sad when Mikoto died as I didn't particularly liked him, but it was well-rendered without being over the top imo. I really liked the series, even though it had many flaws, because I liked its mood, the music and most of its characters. 8 or 9/10 for me. I'm also giving it bonus points for having the guts to kill some main characters! My thoughts exactly. |
| I see people mentioned Mikoto, but no one cares about Yashiro? -.- That was pretty sad with both Mikoto and Yashiro's dead I wonder about Yashiro since he is the Immortal King. I feel bad for the Blue King Munakata, Neko, and also HOMRA, that "No Blood, No Bone, No Ash" part was just sad. |

| i am suprised that most of the reviews give this series a 6 all hail shiro ! |
CG said: NOOOOO! Why did they have to do that to Mikoto?! Shit, I don't care about the sequel now that he's dead. T_T |
YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... |
| It was a good show. Interesting story with lots of characters. The only thing I didn't like was how gay Shiro sounded. 7/10 |
| In the end it wasn't that bad. 7/10 Insane soundtrack! |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| A really emotional last episode ;_; I don't know what to say about this series ... it was great and I enjoyed it very much but I still feel a little disappointed. I was very messy but it got me very attached to it so ... 9/10 from me xP I hope that Missing Kings will make everything clear. |

Oh well, why did they do this. 9/10 |
| I loved this anime.... the ending was so damned sad but hell.... I friggin' loved this anime!! |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| Quite the strange anime. The king died but his dog and cat stayed alive... And they chose to kill off the red king while the blue one was still alive. Also a lot of backstories are explained throughout random novels and mangas... if the ending was different and more information was given on the characters I'd enjoy this more. I still think this is a really memorable anime. I don't know, maybe it's because Angela made the OP song... or because I enjoy these anime with an urban atmosphere and large cast of characters, but I'm actually excited for the sequel. If I would sum it up I'd say this is a decent anime that leaves a pretty good taste in one's mouth. |

| A lot of untied ends, but I guess that's why there's a season 2 :D Not the best, but definitely not the worse. Another shoutout to the remarkable graphics. Long live the Red King. 7/10 |
 |
| That was pretty good. Also, I don't mention this much but the art was beautiful too. 9/10 can't wait till the movie gets subbed. |
| I feel so much time was wasted on the first 4 episodes that could have been used to better develop the story instead of the slice of life comedy that we had with Kuro, Shiro and Neko doing school activities. Beautiful art. Anti climatic ending. |

| about the silver king *cough* movie *cough* |

| A lovely red ^-^ A lovely anime :) A lovely ending. |
 |
| Good ending. 8/10 Glad to know there's a movie out and a sequel coming. |
 |
| this episode may have been the best in the entire season. i always loved the mysterious relationship of the red and blue king. i actually expected and liked the fact that he died (regardless of me tearing up) though however i still can't believe shiro /may/ have died [although i believe he didnt] because after all, he's immortal. i actually loved the entire episode, regardless of how i still hate the developments because again, this anime was so rushed. it couldve been so much better and much more memorable if it was taken good care of. as others said, it was too ambitious. i still loved the episode though. E13: 8.5/10 K Project: 7/10 in one sentence: K Project was a poorly executed anime that started out strong and had huge potential, but it is also an example of how lovely your art can look like before you actually try to color it (traditional art with crayons, or something) i think it was almost every episode i felt like it lacked. there was only little time left [only 13 eps] yet an episode gave so little development on stuff. the colorless king couldve been given more depth, and also with the relationship of the blues and reds. it was eyecandy with a so-so story that wasn't executed well---but again, i still enjoyed it. maybe not all through out, but i am definitely looking forward to the next season. more kings and more good developments, please. |
| i m crying now... mikoto.... but again, WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL DID MIKOTO SAY FROM AROUND 18:40 to 18:45? i mean when he was leaning over muna's shoulders.. Am i the only one who didnt hear anything? or is it hidden from us to be revealed later? if that were his penultimate words ( ultimate being an apology to Anna ) , I SO DAMN WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE! . |

What he said was apology to Anna. They just put the sound later, to make it more dramatic. whitemask said: first of all isn't the silver king emortal so why didn't he and the coolerless just heal The colourless king can't "just heal". He's not immortal. He got killed by the Red king. As for the Silver King, who's immortal, watch K: Missing Kings, because whitemask said: only a king can kill another king" bull cause if that was the case the silver kings soul wouldn't have gone into the coolerless kings previous body The silver king's body was possesed by the colourless king, he wasn't killed by him. whitemask said: So apperintly if a king kills another king the king that was killed sword dissapiers but the killers just falls out of the sky but if that was the case when the blue king killed the red king to keep the sword from falling or putting him out of his misery or what ever shouldn't the blue kings sword had also fallen No. The sword falls if a king uses too much powers and is in shit mental state for a longer time (you can see the red king's sword was crumbling druing the whole anime). Killing the king apparently needs a lot of power, but not enough to bring the blue king's Sword down, because it was in perfect shape before that. whitemask said: what the hell is with the part when a piece of the red kings aura or whatever came out if the blue king wtf was that were they brothers or lovers or some shit mabye the blue king used to be one of the red kings men That wasn't the Blue King, that was Fushimi - one of the Blue King's clansmen, who used to be a Red King's clansmen, ans so he still had the connection to red aura, that's why. whitemask said: how the hell did he become a king in the first place Read the prequels: Novels and manga. This series consist of many types of work, not only anime. whitemask said: do kings die and then pass there power to one of there subordinates or something Watch K: Missing Kings. whitemask said: And what the hell was the silver king talking about when he said "he hoped his research could help everyone" That was shown in the anime. Apparently you didn't watch it properly if you managed to miss that bit. whitemask said: how many kings have there been 7. It was said multiple times in the anime. whitemask said: why can he die didn't he say he was emortal No one stated in anime for sure that he died. Watch K: Missing Kings for explanation, It is a movie, which is the sequel to this anime. omg so many plot holes OMG, watch the anime properly without skipping half of it (I still can't understand how you missed the parts with Weismann's research). Then watch the sequels and read the prequels qhich are all already there to explain things. OMG, I don't actually think this series has even a single bigger plothole. whitemask said: If there isn't a prequel I will cry There are prequels already. You can read them if you want. |
| woaah didn't expect Mikoto to die~ :O |
souledge94 said: I still didint get an explanation of the point of the giant swords Citing wikipedia "The sword of Damocles is frequently used (...) epitomizing the imminent and ever-present peril faced by those in positions of power." So it's basically just the embodiment of the symbol that if you're powerful (like one of the Kings from anime) and use too much of this power (like Mikoto), you won't end up well (for example a giant sword will crush you. :P). souledge94 said: they still didint explain that incident they kept bringing up Well, they explained it well enough. Basicall the previous Red King (the one before Mikoto) overused his power (like Mikoto did), so his sword came crushing down (like Mikoto's did), and when it reached the ground it made such a huge impact that it destroyed a vast amount of land, totally vanishing it, and killing lots of people in the process. Big boom. souledge94 said: Also did kurou just turn into a dog? It's just another of Neko's illusions. souledge94 said: Anywho fun season and ill watch the second whenever its dubbed. Well, teh sequel to this anime is actually a movie. Second season will be sequel to the movie and will be aired this fall, soit will probably be a longer while before it's dubbed. |

| Worth the watch just for the good looks and soundtrack. The lax feeling of the first half suited the characters better than the second half. The characters were enough to keep me watching as I didn't care much for the story. Just an overall cool, likeable cast. |
| it was awesome. I liked it and now i want season 2 :3 and its movie "k-missing kings" is awesome too (y) ^_^ |
