To be fair, the previous announcements on TV and the official site only mentioned 続編 which means sequel (or the next chapter) and it never said that this sequel will be another TV series. I think everyone (including most Japanese fans) just assume that by default a sequel of a TV series means a second season.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

//reads the other posts

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO //CRIESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I wanted a 2nd season though! T___T
PLEASE TELL ME IT ISNT SOOO Q________Q T___T

A full 2nd season would have more plot and story to it other than a 2 hr movie Q__Q! </3

And also, we would have to wait FOREVER to watch this movie b/c first we have to wait for the movie release in Japan, then months for the dvd to come out, then a while for someone to sub it so people outside of japan can watch Q__Q </3


Please tell me it truly isnt sooo!! T_________T //crying

I wasn't really fond of the first season.

Agreed.

I suppose I'll watch it anyway just to see what extra details about story gets fleshed out, if any. The first season felt like it had potential but...it seemed as if the 12 episode limit restricted chances of it having better character development or added details of the plot premise; let's see what this movie offers then.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

Will watch but it's on 2014 and waiting for the subs will be a pain.

This series just really needs to ditch the three leads and focus on the semi-interesting gang people and it'd be so much more enjoyable.


That animation though, damn it's gonna be slick.

Well, I won't deny it, I am disappointed. Though, when they did announce that there would be a sequel, I expected that it would be an OVA or a Movie. That said, even though I was not really expecting a second season, it is disappointing all the same.
I'll have to wait until 2015 to watch it then.

Pfffthaha, it turned out to just be a movie for the 2nd season. Well, it's coming out in 2014, and then a wait for BDs. By then I'll probably have even forgotten I'd watched K.

Your question is more probably.. Is there going to be a plot that you will accept as a plot. Because I think the original anime indeed has a plot, but perhaps not one you think counts as plot.

Maybe it might be based on K: Memory of Red.

But ya, expanding on season 2 would be a wiser choice. I think there was a news about a season 2 but was only titled as 'sequel'.

Yeah I don't think I can accept good looking men throwing magic powers at each other with a kid riding on a skate board with BL undertones & constant blue filter with no direction for 13 eps as a plot.

You don't get to redefine the definition of plot to "not including things I don't like". Of course K had a plot, whether you like the story elements it used to execute that plot is utterly, utterly irrelevant.
You missed the point I was trying to make all im saying is that I felt that the plot was non-existent, and was just fujoshi-pandering shit but if you like
Homo undertones in your animu then that's fine by me.


iirc K was actually an anime that was seeking to fanservice both genders (what a twist) giving everyone a little something. I understand most male anime fans just see red at the thought of fanservice for females blinding them to any number of half naked cat girls but that doesn't change the fact really. I'm sure the movie and S2 will continue this trend.

I'm hoping for this too cause we still need to find out about the other kings I think green and black are the only ones left unless they make novels for these two there has to be another season after the movie. I also hope they decide to animate Memory of Red in the future when more source material is released. Cause Homra > any thing else in the K setting.

It's not me who "missed" a point, it's the self-contradicting way you tried to state it that made your point completely idiotic to begin with.

all im saying is that I felt that the plot was non-existent

Didn't like it != non-existent. Stop using words in ways that don't match what they actually mean.
I understood the point, but it seemed a but hostile, I watched K while it was airing and I can say that K projects plot was hardly relevant. If it was meant to be episodic showing hints in each episode like other series I can name(CB) then it was terribly executed..

Edit: Before you attack me I'm just going to state that this is just my opinion, since most users tend to get offended by my opinions and then resort to ad hominem

How can you complain about homo undertones when you have Hisoka as your forum picture?

And yes that is him getting a erection.

You had me up to this post (not that you care, nor I for that matter). But who gives a crap if there is "Homo undertones" if the story kicks ass? Good is good. The trouble isn't that K had "undertones" or was primarily eye candy for "fujoshi" (though it had enough female eye candy for the Otaku), or whatever, the trouble was that the plot was muddled, it was predictable, and it seemed very much the product of a committee trying to hit all the "cool points" rather than the work of an individual artist. It was mostly style over substance.

This was why K sucked and why I believe despite being heavily marketed, the show ended up under-achieving (yes I know that it averaged 7,500 and that this is very good, but success is relative and I think that they were expecting a lot more, which is why we are getting a movie and not a second season - good enough to milk, but not good enough to risk a second season).

But you sir are an ass. Critique a show based on its demerits, not you whiny bigoted opinion.

If you're trying to call Hisoka gay then you're misunderstanding his nature, Hisoka does not get turned on by little boys, he gets turned on by anybody strong or has potential to be strong and can give off a good fight since Hisoka loves to fight, and I can't deny that Hisoka is an interesting and somewhat mysterious character of the series.

It would be, but no. I guess the K universe is going to be told through novels and manga from what I read on tumblr with them releasing multiple side stories on the characters although I wouldn't be surprised it they decided to animate a couple of them in the future. Memory of Red needs to be animated the most though. xD

Homo undertones are homo undertones, nobody in K project is gay either.
