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.
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.

Meh, might watch this but not expecting much out of it.

Pretty much how I feel. On the plus side, pretty animation and nice music, why not? X) I wonder why it's only a movie and not a second season? There's still so much they can do with the world of K...

Much fanservice awaits for both the ladies and the lads.
My Twitter
My Tumblr - Anime Blogging on current airing season as I watch them.
My deviantArt - Anime FanArts.

Please leave replies on my profile page, as I am unlikely to see them otherwise. Thanks.

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

Uhm, that isn't what you said, and that you didn't understand my point sort of suggests otherwise.

My point was that any "undertones" is irrelevant. Something is either good or not. The undertones don't make something better or worse.

"Undertones" may not be your preference, and you can express disappointment if you thought K was going to be something else, but again that doesn't make K good or not. For an example someone might say "I don't like harem comics, therefore I don't like To-Love Ru". That is a perfectly fine opinion (I don't share it, but different tastes), but that is something very different from saying "To-Love Ru sucks because it has no plot" and then when someone points out "yes it does have a plot", your replying "I leave you to your incest undertones and fanservice".

Two very different things.

Now I share your opinion that K wasn't very good, but say why you think it sucked, not that anyone who liked it sucks.

The fact is K does have a plot. You thinking that it serves no purpose other than pleasing the fujoshi (and I wonder if you really know what fujoshi means, but that's another question) is entirely something else. This is what your PROBLEM is and why so many called you out.

It just boggles mind to see how you still insist the plot is almost non-existent after jmal wrote the summary of the plot here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=605723&show=80#msg22320831 To repeat it an umpteenth time, existence of elements in the story or animation that are not agreeable to you does not diminish whether a plot exists or how much of a plot exists. The two are different things and not to be confused or mixed up.

Prime example of rubbish comment. You should be ashamed of yourself, particularly if you are really a female. I am not even sure you know what fujoshi actually means -- I guess in your mind it is just an insult to throw around.

Simple: Because those "trash" shows have support and "better" shows do not have enough support, either from fans or from the content owner, or both.
