A little past about the first king.

Rabbit masked police officers? So they works for the old man 2nd king. Wow the "fight"/greeting using the power under the "universe" setting.

Feeling weird among the students. They seem to be remember Shiro, but actually not.

The person who killed KajiKaji's character (with soul of the mask of fox?), called red king and is a sick one for wanting Anna. That made him escaping successfully from the prison. Anna seeing the world destroyed in the future?

Anna's character song?

OK, now I get it why the preview emphasized that the setting is a world where history went a bit differently from ours. Nazi experiments are behind the artificially created power of kings... And are we nearing the introduction of the Green king at last?

Next ep of Gay Project, oh yesss:

This was quite the wild episode! BEST EPISODE! I call it! Because it combines both past and present along with SFX of Universal proportions such as the following,

Whom is in the cosmos. The effects were superb there.

While I am PISSED OFF! Oh why? Why? OMG NO! Just thinking pains me in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354208063241_zps9e851d6b.jpg
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354208089060_zps7873364f.jpg
Parts. Such a nice girl. I mean you can’t deny her few expressions in the following,

While totally being nice there. It was like instant love and she is like Neko BUT she is more refined IMO.

Then all went cool around the episode and I assume with the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354208851913_zpsa7b44b06.jpg

http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354208875114_zps74bedf38.jpg
That those are Isana’s releases from the mask itself whom I wonder is it that girl that died in the beginning because if so then being a King does grant longer life at least that confirms it.

The end was TOP NOTCH! Can’t deny it with the saving of Seri in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354209224787_zps882aa43a.jpg

http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354209265519_zpseb80e333.jpg
Parts. Although I will not shy away in being a pervert and getting all over the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354209234232_zpsb267e153.jpg
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354209100115_zpsae199b3b.jpg
That is a rather sexy service there of Seri.

In thee end I just say once more OMG at Anna in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354209405588_zpsafc9ba54.jpg
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354209424109_zps84cb24f6.jpg
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2039/1354209449713_zpsec8c24f3.jpg
Parts. DEAR OH DEAR! Poor hands and bleeding. Such a Goth Loli? NOOOOOOOO! It’s wrong in every loli lover views! YOU KNOW IT! It pains to see such nice hands with bruises + blood. It’s despicable in fact. Anything bad happens to Anna more than I can bear and the forums will now MY RAGE over that part.

Rest of my thoughts in the BLOG as time permits.

I love Homura, Mikoto just left like a boss didn't even look at the traitor Fushimi and then met up with the rest of the clan ready to go find the guy who killed one of their members.

The beginning was interesting since we got some info on how the kings started and we saw a little of the gold king. Just 3 more unknown kings by my count and we already know that a green king exists. Am I right in thinking theirs 8 kings?

Is that guy on the phone supposed to be the real colourless king? Is he a shape shifter or something?

I wonder what happed to the 3 stooges, doesn't matter since they're probably okay.

I'm guessing it can control people such as Yashino, or it's Yashino's other side/memories that he abandoned. There's also a possibility that it has something to do with Kuroh's deceased master.

That would be really nice!!! Even though there's probably not an ounce of romance between Mikoto and ... Reisi, it's thrilling to see them so close x3

There was no Kuro, no Shiro, no Neko the whole episode?

And like everyone said, Mikoto getting out of jail was soooo epic!

Oh, so some history of the Silver King, Weismann is revealed. Dem 1945s. The Red King part was cool I guess. For a sec, I thought the Red King used Fiendfyre. Oh the intensity:



Those eyes of the Mikoto, what a boss, no wonder the manga focused on him quite exclusively. Respect.

So Weissman is dead just like that? O.o That can't be.... With the backstory they even showed for the first quarter of the episode that just makes it even less likely. Keep your heads up for him in the next couple of eps

I'm not gonna lie and say I completely forgot anything related to the Red gang until this episode. Since the story was focused Yashiro and Neko running from the Blues, all the other gangs were getting sidelined. That's okay though because the Reds came back with a BANG!!! Mikoto was a badass breaking out of the Scepter 4 just incapacitating Seri and everyone else.

On a production related note, I've noticed since the series started the production crew likes to reuse a lot of shots from the opening.I'm pretty much used to Seri's bouncy butt( though I don't mind :P) along with slash. Even Mikotos explosion was reused from the opening. It's all about tradeoffs I guess, since the artwork is a notch higher than a lot of the shows this season.

Oh please, the problem with GC was the fact that almost NONE of the characters had any redeeming qualities and the few qualities that were present were nullified by actions that they knew were stupid but did anyway. In K, there is at least one person people think is cool/badass etc or a good character.

Sure this is by no means best of the season by any means but you should take it for as it is and not the expectations that people were giving it before the fall season. Though if you still don't like it after that, that's fine too

I think K is decent so far.. I liked this episode, though it didn't blow me away. Got some background at the beginning (even though we still don't really know how exactly the powers work/exactly where they came from). Seems like Weissman? or someone else was doing experiments with rats to test the king powers and they planned to adapt it to humans as well. Kinda eerie the way those rats lined up like the blue squad! lol.

I'm also glad the red gang is back. they've been missing for a while in the anime. I'm really glad that they inserted the action at the end of the episode. I was thinking it was going to be a very slow episode until the red king busted out of the jail haha.

I'll probably re-watch the series again on Winter Break and then give my full opinion on it.. just so hard to give one now, I feel like there's a lot more that needs to be explained. I want to see all the kings!

The firebombing of Dresden occurred in mid Feb, not January. You have to wonder about a show that can't even get a simple detail correct. And on top of it we can now add the good nazi trope as well as the hot nazi trope (and yes, that was what those armbands represented), well at least we know what the fan-fiction is going to center on now....

I've been watching K from the start, it struck me then as a animation more concerned about appearance than little things like plot or consistency. Since it at least had some action and a few laughs I kept with it, and I still haven't reached the point to drop it, but it really does appear that they lost any semblance of a story and is unraveling into a tangle mess that will never get sorted.

I didn't think this episode was too bad, it gave us some background and reveled some stuff, we got to see who the actual killer is and etc etc etc you guys all watched the episode.

I really enjoyed the animation in the second half of this episode, Mikoto's escape looked great and the piece with Anna and her blood stuff was really, really lovely. Basically, visually it was great and made it enjoyable despite the lack of good plot development. Like always.

I feel like if they just had done the pacing better and planned the show better, even with the plot they have, this anime could have been good. It's a shame, really. Oh well, it's enjoyable enough to me, but still remains one of the worst of this season.

So Weismann was dancing with his sister's preserved corpse in the last ep. Weismann and Shiro share the same seiyuu so maybe they have some sort of connection. Also, Neko and Weismann's sister resemble each other.

So even after watching this episode , there is still this question that has been bugging me , how are kings made ? or something like that . Do they just expose themselves to the light of that round stone or what ?

And those planet animations are wtf . lol .

And Tatara's killer ? And the one in the fox mask ? HE really looks like


But still, the most awesome part of this episode is when Mikoto was breaking out of jail , burning everything on sight . That was pretty badass .

And the part where Fushimi was protecting Seri with those swords was pretty epic aswell ... but where the hell did he got those swords ? Do they just manifest by themselves with Fushimi's powers ?

And ANNNAAAAA is just awesome .Blood marbles ? 'nuff said .

AND DAT PREVIEW . what the hell . Did Reisi really have to put his face that close to Mikoto's ? Seems like K is finally starting to pick up the pace next episode , which is nice since it's been like 9 episodes already . lol .

Things I noticed
- Past Weissman and Current Shiro has the same voice and the same white sword
- Weissman in Current Shiro's memory, Shiro who killed Totsuka, and that fox has the same facial expressions

Considering what the fox tried to do to the red king in the cell, I think we can assume that the real culprit might be a parasitic being that posess people (or chase people's soul out of their body, then take over the body) and use that body to do bad things. (similiar to Yu Yevon in Final Fantasy X)

What are the possibilities that one is a True King and hence a dual King having 2 properties of a King, that of Colorless and Silver.

A dual elemental King. A first in this world? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM? Anyone feel the new possibilities here?

The first half of SAO was at least decent. Though I have to agree somewhat in that the second half has plummeted in terms of quality in most aspects to about K's level. But again, the first half was okay. K has not been okay at any point.
