THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This is just amazing so far! The excitement is beyond anything I would think. The art is crisp and the setting of the city amazing. One guy already looks like someone from Durarara whom loads of girls love for his muscles.

About the beginning, the start already was quite amazing in the spoiler
as it showed a nice title and background along with a excellent short BGM. Proving both BGM and OP/ED are to be procured. Both being in quality rather excellent.

With no time waste the Red King is shown but I am much more into his loli in the spoiler
Kushina Anna was long gone into my Harem and certainly a GOTHIC LOLI? HNNNNNNGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OK I am done. Just the fact she is GOTHIC is more than enough apart from being loli. Indeed Anna has foreseeing powers with that dark marble.

The multi assault session in the spoiler
translated with a KICKASS Skateboard dude entry whom show his aggressive nature along with a look alike of Shizuo that does quite a good job of beating up. The pizza gimmick was pretty cool and simply put seeing Anna doing her thing with her black marble was nice. Too bad the place is a mess and guys beaten but such is the rough life of gangs. Izumo the lookalike of Shizuo was splendid with his facials and talk.

Finally the big confrontation in the spoiler
with Seri/Reisi there, things got wild. Lovely from top position drop of the Red King himself. It is to remark the red flames were quite spectacular but it’s more the following,

Right before the OP that is quite stunning. 2 Swords in the air with a War looming around with the Red King himself and Reisi….EXCELLENT!

About the OP, in the spoiler
itself is sexy as it show both Neko and from the opposite faction’s Seri along with their assets being sexy themselves. Neko for one has a hot body and Seri too both having quite nice asses with breasts along with composure. What is to remark is both girls have a film like presentation where a strip of film show their faces. Apart from that Isana is nicely very much from the start. The fight parts are all enticing but it’s more in the spoiler
with the end that shows Reisi VS the Red King and Reisi at the end is seen with Isana. That surely must have signification apart from the large one being present of this episode, whom Reisi does approach Isana.

About Isana at school, the intro of him in the spoiler
shows a great deal of care being put into the setting as it all looks like Index except the decor is 10 times better IMO. The shades particularly, are quite nice and present. Isana seems to be in need of food and the girls certainly fawn over him.

About the fan service, well to point Seri in the spoiler
from the OP always a nice ass shaking with a zoom of her breasts but more than anything it’s Neko in the spoiler
as she is totally naked and blanked out in terms of her breasts and privates. Now that is understandable like Invisible Women did to turn herself invisible but it comes to me attention that the robot saw her.
Regardless Neko proves out to be delicious. Both in body composure, breast size and 2 eye coloured features.

About Isana on the roof, quite pleasing to see in the spoiler
that the cat girl turns out to be his own cat except this cat can be human with all the feature they come with. Now if only cat IRL could do that, lots of extra girls for guys. Other than that it’s to remark of the spoiler
that someone is spying on him and Neko knows hence she got scarred. However IMO it’s the big chief guy of the Justice Division whom Seri/Reisi works for. This man is like the Elder of it IMO. As such IMO he knows Isana has great powers to be harvested and that the Red King also has his eyes on him. Isana……WTF are you exactly?

About the street thrashing, that was quite the show in the spoiler
with Skateboard dude going all wild with a baseball bat. That’s to include the other guy with the fire power around. Neko was really surprised and shocked despite being in cat form.

As things progress and Isana escapes them in the spoiler
it turns out that Izumo was awaiting Isana there. Good thing Kuroh was kick ass in the following,

Adding in the spoiler
he plowed through Skateboard dude and Izumo backed out. IMO Kuroh has HOLY HAND OF GOD! A hand that is Holy and can grasp anything. I bet it can envy shoot out Holy destruction upon Kuroh’s enemies. Girls can’t deny the cute Yayoi presences in the spoiler
of Kuroh x Isana. Now can they?
K…..having a delight even for girls hence pondering the genres to please them in all aspects.

About thee end, itself shows in the spoiler
the Red King being arrested indeed whom will get saved somehow I am sure. Shows Reisi is good at getting culprits.

Looks like Isana is framed in the spoiler
that’s not him and NO WAY he would kill anyone! THAT IS BS! YOU HEAR! Isana is nice and caring. Not a killer of blood like this fake shit is. I am sure of it. As a result he is also thrown into jail in the spoiler
SHIT!

About end of Neko, I made some stuff of her in the club:
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=500135
But other than that, the spoiler
sure shows a nice body exposure of hers. Sure to please many but I wonder if all the girls will be shown like that? If so then the end card might be the best scroll/animated card ever. There is more than enough girls in the show to do that for 12 episodes or split into 6 of them and 6 males. Service for all would make the girls watch this show more, which would turn out more profit IMO and I am sure many will agree with me.

BTW Intermissions in the spoiler
are really pleasant as the character gets a piece of time of this episode more and the “K” symbol being around them makes it nicer IMO.

Finally Image Stitches and Pic dump done:
http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/10/image-stitches-and-pic-dump-of-project.html
A great output of sceneries and characters being shown in a Panoramic view. Pics amounts to 450 of them for clear shots of each part of the episode. To enjoy and appreciate for its effort.

(Watched it at Animax Taiwan, where it aired at the same time as Japan and there's credits in English and Chinese subtitles. I guess I will watch it raw to see if the credits are in Japanese or not and decide if I should watch in raw or marathon the series.) Edit: OP credit is in English to begin with... wow, that's unique for Japan show airing in Japan...

I felt Durarara!! a bit while watching it. There's English conversations as well!! It's just a guess, but angela appeared in a screen inside of the building? Seems like Tsuda-san's character (red hair one) is the leader of some kind of group, and the enemy group is the blue uniformed people. Wow, with some kind of magical power? Wow @ OP clips. School life and lol~ Horie-san's character cares about NamiDai's character, who's really tennen, I guess. He's actually a "king" that got chased by those bad guys in the beginning and OnoD's character caught him first, but is going to get killed because the screens showing that he's the bad guy (and was recorded by KajiKaji's character)? Wow, NamiDai uses both voice ranges as well in this anime!!

Nothing much really happened in the first episode. I guess I'll have to wait and see how things will go down on the next episode. The blue filter at the bottom of the screen is kind of annoying though.

Yes they were but now we know more their implications.

I think Neko will be my candy this series. Girl is like Invisible Women but sexier due to her features and naked a lot. I say Invisible Women.

That's insane. No show gets that much V.I.P. treatment. I am just O_O at that fact. That's all. The rarity is astonishing of such a treatment.

At the end of the episode I realised nothing of substance actually really happened. Quite flashy though, but all show and no weight makes me a little wary of it.

Also, that stupid blush Yashiro had on his face. I was afraid it'll be gay and looks like it will be. I'm giving it 2 more episodes to prove itself before dumping it in the gutter.


(I am very, very severe when it comes to BL stories that I like only very few because they tend to waste precious story tiemz with "couple building".
Imagine if Reborn / Bleach / Naruto / Eyeshield / Durarara was actually a BL story. Yep.)

It had pre-airing dates. Maybe some people here saw it.
Not strange though because some other anime went up to the 30's after one episode, it was something about swords and being online.

I really like that 2 swords and skateboard scenes
Not much really happened, except setting the idea how the story will be and showing that amazing animation
And yes it felt like DRRR!!
Impressive first episode, but want to see more plot next ep

Watched a bad quality stream but still gorgeous. Will rewatch a better quality version later.

Love anime with this setting. Modern with a touch of futurism.

Didn't get much actual fight scenes, but the ones shown were very nice so far.

Anyways, this was ASLDKFAS:LDKFALSFDK. I'm not even joking. The visuals are absolutely stunning. I really love it. XD Shiro at the end. He looks so sad.

They might want to add "Shoujo" and "Shounen-ai" to the genre.... Kinda disappointing that this is going to be a yaoi anime..... well at least we got Btooom and Zetsuen to make up for this......
And by the way their English was horrible.... even the Japanese viewers were making fun of it

First time I saw the anime I judge it by title, it looked like it had no creativity to it, but I'm glad I watched it. Great first ep and there is more to come.

O and btw I was wondering about the date K was aired cause it says august 28 on the site but the first ep was aired today.

No idea about the story, but there's probably red and blue factions, and something to do with kings.

Also, that is some beautiful animation.

Hmm. A lot of bishounen here.
It is quite interesting on how there are a lot of sides on this one.
It'll take time for us to remember their names.

Liking it so far, I hope it gets better as the story progresses.

I have no idea what just happened, except that the animation alone makes this worth watching, the music is catchy as hell, and this is probably gonna be one of those anime where it's awesome if you shut off your critic brain. But who knows, the story could get interesting.
I actually think some BL would be nice. That guy totally blushed when Ponytail grabbed him, haha.

That... was fucking beautiful. The art, animation, music, landscape, scenery - everything.

So it seems like there are two gangs in the city, the one clad in blue and the one led by the red haired dude. And they both want Yashiro dead? By the way, Yashiro's totally gay for Kuroh. Called it when I saw the first trailer... and people didn't believe me. Hmph.

I said the samething when i 1st saw the trailer like a year ago. Also the 1st trailer barely had any females like 2 out of all them dudes so i thought it was gay then. Hell you can tell in the 1st scene he was gay when he was all over that dude for food. If he starts kissing im dropping it.

1st episode didnt tell me that much. It seems like they wanted to show off their animation quality and the ost is good so far.
