| WHAT HAPPENED TO MIKOTO WAS NOT OK I REPEAT NOT OKAY! I wonder how the second season will go without him or Shiro? I'm confused if a King dies does someone take their place or something? 8/10 I cried a bit especially no No Blood! No Bones! No Ash! part. T^T |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| And also |
 |
| What happend to my Shiro??? THEY KILLED SHIRO, IT CAN'T BE.... Prays he comes back next season lol, Shiro was the main reason I watch this anime!!! >_< |
| Give me Shiro back! :( It would be a shame that the season 2 is without the first King! And Kuro's a dog and it's because of Neko's power? |

| Started a bit slow paced... but... Holy shit! Seeing all those insignia of red king rising to the sky was epic. Seeing that Shiro's an immortal king... is he still alive? I wanted more from this episode though. 7/10 Sent with Mal Updater |
Bouum said: Probably... but when they made the anime, they should have known new people would be introduce to the universe of K, not knowing anything about it all. They failed at making it an anime adaptation then. but yah... I guess I'll try the Manga. The story wasn't bad at all maybe the Manga will fill the holes the anime left out It's funny, cause K is an anime original project, it's not an adaptation at all. THAT'S how much the staff failed. Making a GOOD original anime that's only one season long shouldn't be too hard, but GoRa managed to produce an incredibly shitty one anyway. But hey, what'd you expect from 7 different writers, of which none of them are actually really good? |
 |
| I was really hoping that Munakata would push Mikoto out of the way :( Hopefully any holes in the plot will be answered in the second season, and in the manga. startrash said: It's not sure that Mikoto really died since Anna said "Mikoto, your red is still warm.." after the credits, and Shiro said himself that he is immortal, so I think the sequel will be really interesting :3 cant wait! There was a scene after the credits? Maybe it's the site I watched it at, but the one I watched ended right after the credits :( |

| NO BLOOD, NO BONE, NO ASH! My thoughts on the last episode: First of all, I'm so sad for Anna. Poor Anna. My guess is Weissman isn't dead yet ( hopefully ). Second colorless king is really annoying.. Mikoto died. HOMRA marks flew out. I'm not sure if they disbanded but I'm pretty sure they lost all their powers. I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN SHIZUO KUSANAGI IN ACTION. OMG. WHY? There will be a replacement for Mikoto right? Like how there is a second colorless king.. I thought Kusanagi is going to inherit the powers but when their marks flew out... bullshit.. Still a very touching scene though. Really perfect soundtrack. My thoughts on this series: Story is pretty unique. Although the plot is nothing new, the twist and development is still amazing. Badass kings are badass. Having said that, I still got quite bored in episodes one to six. I just don't understand what's happening. Yes, there are too many plotholes but the story did progress quite well up to the ending. The animation perfect. This series got a lot of hype because of that badass skateboarding at episode one. Really smooth animation and perfect execution of CGs. The most redeeming quality of this series is how badass the fights are. The animation did a really great job and I hope to see more of this. The art is pretty decent. It's pretty cool and suits the plot perfectly. Not to mention, I think I haven't even seen one bad frame in this series. The sound! I'm speechless on how good the OSTs are. The opening and ending song = eargasm. But above all is that its amazing how the sounds perfectly fits the series. Amazing job! You guys said that it's a shitty adaptation. I don't really know about that since I haven't read the original source material. But the plotholes are pretty obvious, the series just started with two clans getting ready to fight or whatever and they didn't really explain shit until later episodes. Well, some Anime can do it but I think that style isn't fitted for this series. Anyways, I still enjoyed this series EXCEPT FOR THE F**** YAOI BL, omg, this kind of action plot don't need ecchi nor any fanservices for both genders. Why did they do that? One of the staff is homosexual? Not being a sexist but damn, nearly dropped the series because of that. I'm glad I didn't though. It just really doesn't fit the story. I give this series a 7/10 just because I think it could really been a lot better. Too bad. My thoughts on Second Season: HOMRA is disbanded which is a sad thing. I will miss Anna. But still, bring on the second season. I WANNA SEE ALL THE KINGS. And I wanna know if Weissman is dead or not. I want more war! I'm excited, I think I'm gonna increase the score of the second season if it's as good as the first season just because I understand the basics now. Btw btw, I have a question. Is Kusanagi and Awashima in a relationship? If so, great. |
| i thought this was pretty great. mikoto dying sucks. he was badass. wonder what s2 will be |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Oh man that ending. :( I'm really glad that they are doing season 2, loved the 1st one so much, I hope we'll see the Green's in the 2nd season and their King. |
 |
| The last few episodes of this series have been amazing. It took a while to seemingly find its feet and get going but in the end I really enjoyed watching it. Can't wait for season two! |
 |
| I think this anime ended off pretty well. It was a bit messy in the middle but it led to a decent conclusion. It just makes sense to kill off Mikoto as he wanted his revenge so badly, and his core was about to blow up, and his personality isn't exactly the 'I'll just step down and retire' kind of type. I was wondering what he meant about 'sorry for making you get your hands dirty' and in the end, that scene where his friend thrusts a sword through him, was done very well. Munakata had to do it, if the sword had hit the ground, it would've created another explosion like the one they've been alluding to throughout the season. That said, I don't think Shiro is dead. His star is still in the sky, and so long as their 'stars' still shine in the sky, they're still alive. I enjoyed it, and looked forward to each new episode leading up to the finale. 8/10 - very good. |

Reading the Manga is probably still something good to do even if it's not the Original tho. Maybe there's more to fill the plot hole... |

| What an ending! Dramatic and bittersweet. 8/10 Shiro, having to take extreme measures in order to do the Colorless King in and thus himself. Self sacrificing is something he would think of but since he is the first King and immortal, let's see how it plays out in the second series to be aired sometime next year. I like the fact too, that Neko and Kuro remain alive to await the Silver King's return. Sweet loli, Anna, also seems to have hopes that hottie-kun, Mikoto, may return...I hope so too! The best scene is this one...for those watching, you will know what I mean. ;)  Like many others, was confusing at first, but all became clear as it went along. I am glad I stuck with it. I really enjoyed it despite what others who think they know better said. :P Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion... ;) Ah! One more thing...since we see Kuro has transformed himself into a dog, was it Neko's doing or is he a strain as well? |
melina_putri said: The ending is really anticlimatic. Yet another disappointing series for me this fall K could of been good but it just wasn't it was just to over the place and once the plot started kicking in it was over before you knew it hearing that S2 is in the works i hope they get better writers. 7/10 just for being an eye candy and those robots Still better than SAO *Kappa* |

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. This. and ...nooo...my favorite...my favorite character.............. T___T still , I really don't care what happened to shiro..but Mikoto.. |

| The overall series was a bit dragged out, but this episode along with the past few episodes were great. I got a little sad when Mikoto and Shiro died. Though I don't think Shiro is actually dead. Can't wait for a season 2 and possibly a prequel. One of my main questions is, who was Shiro before he was possessed by the Colorless King and when his subconsciousness combined with Wiessman's. Along with what his involvement with this entire conflict in the past, he may just be a random passerby though before all of this. I also want to know what Mikoto's last words were. I have a feeling they were thanks and a reference to something from the past. Also wasn't there also a level system that the Munakata was telling Mikoto about? I hope they explain that in the future. Even though the pacing could of been done a lot better for the first half, I really enjoyed this series. |

trueviet said: I dont understand, So basically, he not really immortal, or he let down his power on purpose and let Mikoto kill him to end it all. what would happen if the core drop? i never understand that part. i know it mass destruction, like what happen, the king explode? the king die and a new king is born from the explosion? I bet season 2 is going to be birth of the new king. probably going to see a new main character, a new red and silver king. probably a gold king too, since the currently gold king is getting old and he will eventually die off. they still havnt introduce the other 2 kings, we got colorless(black), red, blue, gold, and silver, still missing 2. I don't think he meant immortal as in he can't be killed but that he has eternal youth. None of the kings can be killed by non-Kings. Though I may be wrong about his death and he'll be brought back. |

| Just finished it, great freaking show No blood! No bone! No ash! I almost teared up when Neko said "its shiro" but she was really referring to his umbrella. Seeing them both in animal form was refreshing made me a bit happier. 9/10 Not a single dull moment in this show loved all of the characters and can't wait for the sequel. I hope it introduces the other kings. trueviet said: I dont understand, So basically, he not really immortal, or he let down his power on purpose and let Mikoto kill him to end it all. what would happen if the core drop? i never understand that part. i know it mass destruction, like what happen, the king explode? the king die and a new king is born from the explosion?

He is immortal that's why you saw a silver star shinning. If a king's sword drops it will cause a huge explosion like a nuke. The sword drops on the king killing him and everyone around him, then a new red king is chosen. Munakata killed Mikoto because if the king dies he loses his power so the sword disappears. It already happened before. |

KayChan4U said: Wow, Project 'We just fucked up and fucked ourselves' more so. Good luck with having a second season with 2 Kings dead. Kuroh and Reishi aren't good enough to keep it interesting anymore and Neko sure as hell isn't anything worth watching again. 8/10 regardless but killing off Mikoto on the last episode was a shit move. Seconded this. Without those two awesome Kings, I wouldn't bother to watch K all over and then waiting for the sequel. It's not like K has a really good plot to begin with. And it's just rushed. People attracted to this anime merely because of the bishie. and of course those yaoi couplings fujoshi & fudanshi looked forward for |
| I-Im crying..... damnit everything, I was expecting a HAPPY END!! ; A ; *trying to hold tears 'cuz my mother is here lol* /sobbing/ at first I was kinda disappointed but men, those last episodes were great and this last one.... never expected to finish this bad uwa, Mikoto-san!! SHIRO!! TT A TT btw, that dog with katana was Kuro?? Shiba Inu(?) Lol |
- I only draw freestyle! - |
| I think both suoh and shiro survived as for shiro he is the first and the immortal king while for suoh, look at the pic below, see their reds? it's like forming a new sword for the red king + what anna said earlier that mikoto's red is the only beautiful but at the end while staring at them she also said that it's beautiful  |
Akimoto_yomiDec 27, 2012 6:47 PM
| Well, this episode is alright for K's standard. I wonder what they are gonna do for the sequel. |
 |
| so in the end did Shiro survive? o-o |
| I just saw that K will be having a season 2 (from another thread), and while I'll probably be watching it anyway, I gotta say I've been pretty disappointed with this series. Don't get me wrong, I liked the characters. It's just everything felt somewhat empty. The plot obviously got from point A to B just fine, but the pace was unnecessarily slow and a lot of drama was just kind of excessive. And while everyone was anticipating some serious mystery or drama, well, it was pretty elementary. The killer was someone else all along, and a stereotypical "I want to kill everyone and become the strongest person ever" villain too. Meh. The soundtrack was nice but nothing special. The animation was nice but that can't be the backbone of a great series. Man. I hate to be making this comparison, but K feels like another Guilty Crown, sadly. Maybe the second season will redeem the whole franchise. The first season right now though is nothing exceptional. Probably 6.5/10 for me. |
| *gross sobbing* I love this anime, and the fandom, and everything about it. Mikoto T_T. Ugh that nearly killed me, I knew he was going to die, I really did, but it was still so HARD TO WATCH. And Reisi had to kill him to prevent another crater ugh I'm dying... And just as I was beginning to like Shiro, UGH. Anna and Yata broke my heart T_T. I cried so hard during this episode. It's not even funny. I can't express how much I love this series. Thank god for the sequel or I would really have died!!! |
| A decent ending . Well , its not like there are any other possible endings other than this one . K could had been one of the best anime this season or more so of 2012 if only it had better execution on some parts and some parts werent dragged on and all over the place . Anyone satisfied about Yata and Fushimi getting ROFLSTOMPED by Kuro ? lol .Thats way above getting trashed . But I expected a better fight scene between Munakata and Mikoto but I guess thats not the highlight of this episode . And I dont get those ppl that didnt see that Mikoto was going to die at the end , seriously ? HE was a walking time bomb for K's sake .It only took time and how they're going to kill him .But how they executed it this episode was quite mediocre , but satisfying I guess . The highlight of this episode was when the the red lights or "symbol" of being HOMRA was floating and flying around the place was absolutely scenery porn in my eyes .That's the reason why I liked K in the first place . And I completely understood the reason why Mikoto and Munakata has close relationship with each other and why Kings all do things by themselves , not relying to others , because of the line said by Seri , And about the conclusion , Shiro/Weissman is not dead yet . Reason ? Do you remember that his body is still preserved by the Gold King ? There should be a reason for that , and we dont even know what's the power/true ability of the Gold King(other than being able to throw planets at others . lol) I have a question though , is Kuro a strain as well ? seeing that he somehow turned into a pup at the end(or probably just because of Neko's ability) , and him being called the "Black Hound" ? I hope that in the new season of K , I hope they get a much better director for it that can bring the potential out of K .This anime had that fcking potential but it got wasted but still , im giving this whole series an 8/10 . and to those that is thinking that the whole reason of watching K is because of Mikoto/HOMRA , have you forgotten about the other Kings ? You could see your another Mikoto/HOMRA there . The world of K is huge and has a lot of possibilities , and I really hope they make it right the next time . |

| I feel pretty bad for Anna. 6/10 |

| Bittersweet ending that was... Just noticed theres a 2nd season already on the way though? That's pretty neat. I wonder if its a direct sequel though.. or a sequel that's far in the future with no, or barely any, returning characters.. |
| K got better with pretty much each episode given it started pretty bad hopefully it keeps with the trend in the future. |
| It had been a nice show to watch. Although it didn't keep me interested that much. 6/10 for me. |

| overall, I love the entertainment factor. Those BL feels and good looking men I craved for in an anime. I'm bursting with happiness. The story although is quite bland, they could have elaborate more of character relationships and explain the mysteries but of course they couldn't due to limited episodes. Since there'll be season 2, looking forward into it. |

| see you guys in season 2! :D |
 |
| wow didn't expect this anime to end like that. I liked it a lot with the mardock scramble animation and the modern style / futuristic feel of the show was great I'm a sucker for animation like this |
| While it felt like a disappointment in compassion to its great animation it still improved slowly as it went along, perhaps season 2 will bring more consistency but regardless this ending was alright and the series in general was good enough that it makes me want to see season 2. As a side note sucks that Mikoto had to die, easily one of the better characters in this series. |
