| Finally Got To See Some Fights. But I Would Love To See Mikoto In Action. |
 |
| I can say this episode is much better than any episode of K I've seen. Now that makes me wonder whether Shiro is even a student or not. Judging from the fact that Shiro data isn't in the database (Assume that his ID should be in the database, even if he lost his PDA), students who claim that they didn't recognize that person, and Kukuri said she didn't know that person even though that person resembles Shiro a lot (Assume she didn't watch the murder of Tatara). Just a speculation. Could Shiro has the ability to erase or even alter his existence in everyone's memories as well as in database without him realizing (And might even make him forgotten about what he did)? If so, that could explain how Kukuri said that he got back to campus earlier than an hour after the crime, when actually he's still outside the campus, by changing her memories that he was at the storeroom that night. |

| I wasn't too interested in this episode until the twist in the end. I wonder why focused on the fight and the search and so little on the main characters? |
| I really hate the pacing. How could they waste their time just by turning camera here and there, showing backgrounds/landscapes with BGM only? This anime gives only good visual and the rest are all cliches. But well, they gave us another twist (lost memory of MC?) which is also a clue (about him being a King). Ah...I'll keep watching it, at least until they unfold those twists, though it will be boring but my eyes will surely enjoy it. I'm still hoping they could surprise me in next episodes. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| I really wonder why I'm still watching this... I just keep skipping nearly everything... And I really wish the red clan will get their revenge and kill that idiot Yashiro... |
| That fight was pretty awesome. And Yata was blushing awww |
| They've added a couple of last-minute twists in their episodes. I hope they get explained soon. |
Whoa, I can never get enough of Seri's ass. |
| This is still pretty bad so far, but the story is progressing a bit. Awesome animation, great soundtrack. But dat story... it sucks. This does confirm my suspicions that Yashiro isn't a student. Which is also why he has no PDA and never requested one. He's just pretending to be a student. And that panty shot. Oh my god this dropped to new a level of lowness... If only some other show got this budget. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Kuro is totally like Ishida from Bleach XD Fushimi seems a bit like a yandere or so and Yata made me laugh~ I liked the fighting scenes this time. |
| NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont like this!!!! DX Specially after the spoiler for the next episode! ARGG! I'd rather watch it all at once when it finishes, but I CANT!! !TT^TT |
 |
| Most likely the worst fight I've ever seen in anime. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |

That OR Kukuri is the one who erased his info in the database and pretended not to know him XD Doesnt anyone find a little bit odd that Shiro didnt even remember that he was with her in that night? If he was with her, surely it was in his "normal" state (otherwise she would be dead), so why doesnt he remember that he was with her? I really think he was the one who killed the guy otherwise he wouldnt have the flashbacks, but I find it even more odd that no one questions Kukuri. I mean, why would she even take a pic of Shiro PRECISELY at that time? I cant keep but wondering if Kukuri is really who she seems to be... |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Just as expected, Mamoru Miyano breathed life into Saruhiko Fushimi. I like this guy already. I wonder why Kukuri forgot Yashiro this time... also that PDA of Yashiro... I am pretty sure it holds a lot of clues. |

| This is what were talking about Shiro in this episode in facebook ! |
| It's not a matter of talent. It's a matter of will |
| Definitely the worst anime I've seen in a while... I'm still gonna finish it, 'cause of stubbornness... or masochism, one or the other. I find Awashima's "Here are my boobs, here is my ass, LOOK AT THEM." entrances infinitely more annoying than Neko's fanservice... |

| K is getting worse with every episode -_\ Another school festival, completely pointless fight that lasted for half of the episode, pantsushot... That's it, lol. A, and moar "psycho"-bishounens. The only interesting moment was in the very end and lasted for ~30 seconds. |
Nasty001 said: DAMN RIGHT BUDDY! Best ass next to Inia IMO. Tight and nice. Mature too.Whoa, I can never get enough of Seri's ass. symbv said: I agree with you but it's also a matter of getting used to it. I never could sadly.Yumekichi11 said: Also it happens often in anime to be mislead cause sometimes the character features make them harder to discern among themselves from the others around them but the same applies of the Japanese society mainly cause of their hair color being black. Anime characters need hair color and hair style to distinguish them because the face, eyes, nose and mouth often look indistinguishably similar, a combined result of simplification and lack of exaggerate caricaturization common in western animation. However in real life society, Asians have ways to discern one another even though their hair are all black. Westerners may find it hard to tell one apart but among Asians it is not so hard. I guess being from the same ethnic group helps a lot. |
| Mhm, Okay.. Anyways most of it was boring, exception was the fight; which was mediocre. School data found nothing about shiro, didn't even have his profile in the computer. It either got deleted by someone to avoid it, or he was never in the school database. His PDA is never with him, but yet the teachers recognize him, when we saw the previous episodes in class. Next episode looks like part flashback, part actual time in the show. |
 |
| lol fanservice ass scene |
 |
| This anime need to pick up the pace. This show was supposed to be war between seven kings but turn out easy-going bishounen mystery with fanservice. Pretty disappointing so far. I will try one more episode. |
 |
| The plot is a bit too basic... Need more development. Less flashy fights that are boring. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Next episode... Gonna be some flashback's? Not that I mind, :) |
     |
| Ok episode. The most interesting scene was the fight and the last scenes. Next episode looks better! |
| The pace is fu*king killing me.. at least we saw some action, although it could have been done better (but I don't expect anything special from this anime anymore). |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| at least we saw good action in this episode... |

Narutowolf77 said: God, I get tired of reading forums on MAL and I don't know why I keep doing it. First of all: I don't get why people keep saying that they dislike the main characters, because I actually do like them, they're interesting (especially Shiro since he seems to be at the center of the spiderweb that is the plot of this show and I like his happy-go-lucky, easy going attitude). Secondly if you don't like them why are you even watching the show and on the forums. It really annoys me when people say they're watching a show but hate the main characters, that's like saying you're reading Harry Potter but hate Harry Potter - how can you hate the character that the story is about? If that's the case you might as well hate the story itself and just drop it. (And you don't need to say you're dropping it either, I really don't want to know) Secondly: I don't understand why people are saying that the plot is "so-so" or "paper thin" or that there's been no development at all. Tell me did you even watch the past five episodes? Can you not see the web of plot that started being spun in the first episode? Or am I the only one following the invisible threads that leave me with questions and craving more, unable to wait another week to see what happens? Thirdly: I've said this before but I'm going to say it again, since there were no real negative comments about Kukuri's fan service but if there's even a hint of BL fan service everyone on this forum is just like "Eeewww" sexist much? Girls can't have fan service but guys can? i totally agree w/ u, esp the last part. |

| Alright. I promised myself I wouldn't come here and rant on and on about...well, to put it bluntly, "stuff". Yeah, I'm probably going to break that promise..>___> What I thought about the episode: It was...mehh. I mean, like a lot of people have said the pace of this show is really dragging, and that's never good. However, it's not as if the creators are throwing a bunch of stuff that serve no purpose on the screen. I completely understand that one fight towards the end was to let us all be filled in with how that one psycho was a traitor, he's crazy, how that one guy has a soft spot for girls,blah blah blah, but especially with a show like this one, I'd rather have it centered on Shiro...instead of all having all these subplots. Because if you think about it, whatever happens to Shiro and wherever he goes has a great effect on all the other characters of the show. If nothing happens with Shiro...nothing's going to happen to them. Now, something I'm really interested in is character development, so I'd really like to see more of that in show as well, since I feel like that's the missing piece of the puzzle. It's really lacking that department, in my opinion. Partial Ranting Section: I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing your hate towards a character, and we ALL have that strong hatreds towards a character at SOME point in or anime-watching experience. Be it...an annoying high-pitched girl who hasn't got a brain in her head, or a complete butt head (excuse my language) who betrays the person who trusted him the most by KILLING THEM. People have their reasons for continuing to watch a show, and I don't think it's fair to just tell someone to leave because they dislike a character. What if they were staying to find out what happens at the end? I mean, that's a pretty valid reason to be staying. There are countless other reasons people look for in an anime, and I really find it unfair and, quite frankly, ignorant to just ask people to leave. Also, you can't persuade a person to like something they aren't comfortable with, or just absolutely abhord, so in these discussion threads, you can freely express what you think, but don't try to force your opinions on other people, just like how in everyday life you don't force their values on them. I'm not saying anyone is necessarily doing that, but I'm just warning people because it seems like it may have gotten to a point where a lot of people viewing the show on different spectrums are clashing. I will say, however, that I don't understand people who burst into the forums, type up some five-worded hate message to a character without even caring to explain. Sure, you can type and say whatever you want, but what do those people want to accomplish by doing that? Also for those people dropping it to display their deep disgust in the shounen-ai hints displayed in the show have every right to do that HOWEVER when people like that start spitting out hateful words to the people who enjoy shounen-ai, I just find that flat out impudent and disrespectful. People LIKE shounen-ai, okay? You can't prevent them or discourage them from liking it, just as all of us probably can't prevent you from expressing your love towards the ecchi fanservice presented in this show. We don't really enjoy seeing girls underwears practically IN OUR FACES because it's so zoomed up in the screen as much as you don't like seeing a boy blush after being held by a guy. We deal with it...you deal with it. Sounds good? If it really bothers you to the extent where your head is going to explode...please, by all means, you are free to stop watching whenever you feel like it, but I claw my eyes out when I see ecchi, you claw your eyes out when you see shounen-ai hints. That's a good darn deal if you ask me, and there's even more ecchi in the anime than shounen-ai hints so you have it better. My opinions on the characters: Now I've ranted on about several people standing right on the edge of the line that borders between being being reasonable and ignorant, but I personally don't find any reason to call the characters of the show "annoying' or "stupid", especially the main character. Shiro's a wonderful young man, that makes for an interesting protagonist, I mean, he's not some ordinary-looking (definitely not) guy who came from some family, and just goes to school everyday, conforming to the cycle of everyday school life. He's different. He seems like the type that goes out seeking adventure, someone who feels disconnected from a lot of people, despite being a complete joker, and everything he does just causes me to be more interested in him. I don't see why people hate him either, but then again, maybe I see Shiro in a different way than others. Maybe they're seeing something I'm not. You see, everyone sees things differently, which is why we all have different opinions on the show. |

An_anon said: I don't understand all the comments whining about how the pace is slow or how nothing is happening or whatever. Were expectations for this just really high or something? My expectations were actually quite high for this anime. Dunno why but I went expecting a great plot, with great animation and awesome fights. Instead, most of the time, I've had a school festival, cooking, {boobies+BL}-fanservice, and that's pretty much it... Han-yuu said: This show was supposed to be war between seven kings but turn out easy-going bishounen mystery with fanservice. Pretty disappointing so far. mystery->one big school festival episode. Yep, that's pretty much it indeed. |
|
| Oh well, I don't want to say this but I feel like dropping this show right now. So basically this series is about people chasing 1 guy. Beside neko and other fanservices, I didn't find anything interesting to keep me watching this. And jeez most of the fighting scenes came from PVs ... Plot? Non-existence. Char dev? Nope. Dialogue? Too much trash talks. An_anon said: I don't understand all the comments whining about how the pace is slow or how nothing is happening or whatever. Were expectations for this just really high or something? Indeed, it is, before the season most of people knew K were through its PVs, superior animation and especially the music made me watch K. But right now I'm very disappointing. |
| Yes i totally agree stop bashing this anime its made by humans and what is the term for being flawed hmmm... Im only human.. Yeah thats it and I actually really like this anime and enjoy it... I mean damn I watched jinruiwashita last year, and guess what they didnt even freaking name the heroine.... Her name threw out 13 episodes i think it was was interpreter...... and then there was Y, grandpa and assistant... And i loved it, it was morbid and randomn with no hint of a plot or a storyline what so ever. But K actually has named charcters with personalities, a history. The story has plot, an if you're to blind to see it. Then dont watch it. Yes i picked up a little BL vibe from the first episode, which im not a fan of, but now i think shiro and neko are gonna ship, and kuro and kukuri kinda have a thing so i really think there just trying to please everyone with this anime. So grow up... And you can't help who the main charcters are I mean put yourself in shiros shoes a just pretend your him a plain ordinary person, and then wtf fire pple, after you, your accused of murder.... Most people would be in an asylum by then he's just taking it one day at a time, which takes some kinda strength. and the mystery in the plot is awesome, like who is neko, who is shiro, whats up with the silver king... just relax and enjoy the ride or jump out and miss out... Good day... to you all. |
| The most important things in life, aren't things.... C:UsersAmberDesktopproject k pdfamuxD.gif |
| To lazy to read the whole thread. Personally I have 3 reasons why I watch this anime. 1) Neko 2) Kukuri 3) these trash cans on wheels... So this 5th ep. wasn't that good, because there wasn't much either of the above. However I liked the action senescence. It was pretty well drawn without much static elements. But what was that unexpected pantsu-fanservice at the end? Oo |
 |
| The plot development and pacing in this anime is just... atrocious. And this episode probably had one of the most boring battle/action scene I've ever seen in an anime. The ending was interesting though. |

Good day... to you all. I am agree with it, If you don't like it and just complain then don't watch it.Each episode,instead of talking about what happened to the episode,you just repeatedly compalin and complain.Nobody is perfect and it's anime too, and I know that we all have different taste but please don't judge the anime so early.I will let you complain after the series have finish.And please,don't be angry to me ^^ Oh!! BTW, sorry If I will said this but please,don't said that this anime is better without the three ( Shiro,Kuroh,Neko) I kinda feel boring too if they're gone,the anime don't need to be just have all action,and the three makes the anime lively. So please!!! Oh,about Shiro! Shiro is definitely hiding something or someone is hiding his true identity.I don't know if it is the silver king ( stalking Shiro), Kukuri ( close friend of Shiro), Mishina ( the one that can be a possibilty because of closeness to Shiro), The golden king ( have a connection in the silver king) or It can be Neko ( just pretending to not know but uses his Illusion to delete and erase Shiro's existence all over the school) And god!! I though Fushimi is cool!! >< He's more psycho than the killer of Totsuka-san and he is also greedy and unfair!! Oh,Yata is so cute!!! The way he blushes and act so gently towards the girls >< You will definitely be a perfect husband! Yehey!!! Next Episode is Totsuka-san's debut ( i'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT) |
| It's not a matter of talent. It's a matter of will |
| Fushimi was so cool here! XD |
| I'm confused a bit but I still love this anime. |
 |
| -The hell is going on ?? - Cool fight scene! - bout time! xD -Fushimi <3 |
 |
| Meh. I'm losing interest rapidly. |
