| BEAUTIFUL! Such an amazing anime! Uchihafan25 said: Man I forgot how beautiful this anime was. I also forgot how smokin hot Seri Awashima was! :3 DesuTronic said: The animation was so good I jizzed through my eyes. DeeIsMe said: Definitely my eye candy of the season. Ugh, just can't get over how gorgeous this series looks. |
| Hope we get to see the three of them reunited next ep... and more of awashima seri's fanservice..xD |
 |
| That was beautiful....the fan service though.... -_- JUNGLE seems to be very troublesome...~ |

| Yay it's back! I love the action in this series and like the first season, it looks amazing. Really looking forward to it :D |
| Holy shit... that animation and camera work are gorgeous. The fight at the beginning was amazing. Made me melt |
| I don't understand what's happening but the visuals are fantastic. Like holy shit are they trying to blow the whole budget in the first episode or what? Forgot to mention but the OST is great too. |
| OMG that was truly beautiful. Although the framerates dropped quite a lot especially when Kusanagi jumped over the car, it still overwhelms lots of anime. The story finally continues, with Shiro coming back, Can't wait for their reunion. Also, Anna as the red king is very adorable, Having a moe king. They must be really happy. I just want to sleep the whole week and wake up to watch the next episode. I can't live like this.. |
| よろしく！ |
| The fan service was quite overwhelming imo. Was it always like that? Other than that every thing else was good, especially the sound tracks. |

| the animation and music always were the strong points of this show, wow, just incredible. |
| This episode consisted mainly of jiggly boobs & "MISAKIIIII!". I have no idea what's going on but we'll see what happens. As always, the animation is beautiful. Kuroh is still kawaii :) |
| K never disappoints with that shiny animation- those blues and magentas so good. s0ck said: The fan service was quite overwhelming imo. Was it always like that? It seems they added in a bit more than before. I can't quite remember, but there is definitely more jiggling this time around. Glad to know Seri's there just so that the camera can zoom right through her vagina. Anna as the new red king... hmmm, still not buying it. Sorry but she's not moe enough. Anyway i'm interested in the blue king, you know with his sword slowly shattering and all. |

| As always, the animation 10/10, OST, 9/10 Better than expected tbh They started with the past Red vs Blue ( did they know i want to see Souh? xD ) Green clan take action and Silver king has descended, cant wait to see more xD |
 |
| The movie upped the level of fan service and it looks like this season will continue that trend. Not complaining though because Seri is one fine looking woman. This episode also hints pretty strongly at the relationship she has with Kusanagi. Not much from Neko or Anna this episode but don't count the cat-girl and the loli out, they'll have lots of screen time this season. We should also see Kukuri make a reappearance soon, probably when Yahiro drops in. Of course the rest of the episode belonged to the bishounen and the animation... This series is great eye-candy, but it's one where it really helps if you've seen both season one and the movie just to understand the tangle of relationships between red and blue and understand why that video made HOMRA so pissed. |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Waited so long for this |
 |
| I found that episode better than the whole first season. Didn't expect that tbh. |

I remember from the missing kings movie neko's and seri's plot where increased in size and they jiggled more lol I was quite bothered such a minor thing.. But the heck.. So. Much. PLOT. This first episode. It DOES NOT fit in at all |

This show is pure eye candy. The visuals are so beautiful and the soundtrack is great. Glad to have it back. Seri-chan's body is 10/10.  |

| Now I'm hyped up for this |
on 
| I don't know if this has a big budget or what, the animation looks really good, one of the best I have ever seen... Makes me wonder why we don't have more shows with this kind of animation |
 |

| Nice to see it's going the shameless route like the movie did. Makes it's easier to decide if it's worth sticking or not. At least the first season had some subtlety to it. |

 |
| The art and animation was gorgeous. Can't say much about the plot for now, but visuals were spectacular and music wasn't that bad either. Hopefully this one turns out better than the first season. |
Good at offending and bad at letting things slide. |
| Oh how I've missed these characters! The flashback at the beginning threw me for a loop, but the transition was seamless! The music, the visuals, and the storyline was just beautiful! Keep this up and this will be my AOTS! Love seeing Anna as the new Red King! She's just as awesome now as she was in the movie! Love the new characters, and that ending gives me hope we will see Shiro again! Was Seri's outfit always that revealing and I just never noticed it before? Green causing havoc this season, I'm so excited to see where this goes! NO BLOOD! NO BONE! NO ASH! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Holy crap, Kuro's hair was so ridiculous I didn't even realize it was him, even though Neko said his name. Seeing Neko there with some stranger like that confused me and made me wonder if she was some kind of cameo and this wasn't actually a sequel. I'm pretty excited about this actually. Tiny little king Anna is also pretty badass. I knew she'd be the one to replace the old red king. |

| hey our eye-candy of the season is back with a even bigger budget...that opening was nothing but pure overtop/fanservice that had no other meaning besides look at all the pretty colors while you listen to some jamming beats. but i watch this for the ridiculously flashy fights so i guess were off to a good start 8.4 doe Mal pls |
 |
| this episode sure was a sakuga fest, it was fun to watch. the jiggling tit fanservice was unnecessary though. :p i got lots of yata though (though with that new ugly outfit) so it was all gud. <3 i also liked the concept of the green clan being like an online game in which you have to gather points, pretty interesting stuff. |
 |
| Seri, lol. Hope they give me more Mikoto >////////////< |
 |
| YA that was fairly godly. The video stream is so bit starved though. Makes me excited to watch it when the blu rays come out. Everyone needs to bow to GoHands. All and all a good first episode. |
| Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Anna is the new Red King. Great soundtrack as always! EARGASM! The Blue King's Death flag is real! |
 |
| Whoa! K: The return of kings starts with a bang! The action scenes, animation, soundtracks are beautiful as ever. It was worth the wait. |
 |
| Holy fuck man, what is GoHands feeding their animators?! |
 |
| How can an anime be so pretty...what is their budget >.<...Kuroh looks amazing with his hair let down. |
 |
| Another anime with shitty CG animation and art :| I really don't know why you people are so hyped. Everything besides characters looks awfully bad and cheap (especially first 8minutes) . I complained about TLR D2, but TLR D2 comparing to this anime looks awesome. Ost is great as usual. |
HidenNinpoOct 2, 2015 11:59 PM
| Woah! This is amazing! K is coming back so well. The first scene (action fighting) was well animated loved it! Ost's playing during the whole episode was great! I have to say K: Return of the Kings is really to going to be one of the my most favourites this anime season ^_^ |
| Aaaah I'm so hyped for this. The first season of K was one of the first anime series I actually watched when it aired so I feel somewhat nostalgic while watching this. The animation is stunning and the ost is so good. I loved every single moment of the first episode. Also dat Seri. |
 |
| can this season be at least decent? this episode certainly isn't enough to tell at least the animation is good |
rsc-pl said: Another anime with shitty CG animation and art :| I really don't know why you people are so hyped. Everything besides characters looks awfully bad and cheap (especially first 8minutes) While I still enjoyed the first 8 minutes quite a lot, I can agree on the animation part. I think they disguise their animation very well using changes in camera angles and constant movement of the backgrounds. When there is a lot to look at, people's eyes don't usually focus on the animation itself, it gives the illusion that the animation is in fact quite fluid when it's pretty normal (I don't mean this in a bad way, normal is not bad). I only noticed this when I watched the whole first 8 minutes a second time. Someone else noticed that the frame rate dropped too after Kusanagi's and Seri's part. |
| Hoping for Yashiro to be back next episode, and not pro-long this "Hey I'm the main character but I'm gonna show up for a few minutes only" thing. Visuals and soundtrack were good as always, fighting scenes were awesome as well. |
 |
| Whenever I see new K episode/movie/series.. it feels as every other anime that will air this season will become useless and irrelevant ... |
 |
| The visuals are fantastic. Even better than the previous season, have been looking foward to this, since K season 1 ended. Worth the wait |
| They wasted all their budget on Awashima honestly. Nice music as usual and the animation is still amazing. |
| All that pointless TnA... Im kinda disappointed. Despite all pointless fanservice, it prolly will be my AotS. |

The art and animation look like shit compared to season 1 and the movie. K was defined by its art, but this... Random CG scenes everywhere, inconsistent frame rate, this is just bad. They should have waited a few years longer if necessary to deliver something worthwhile. //Just read most of the replies... does everybody seriously think the animation/art is better than it was? :/ sounds like u watched bad encoded version.. season 2 is top-notch like s1 and movie |

And dimensions are right? Well it would be awesome, but... I don't think so :] You want to see good animation and art in this season? Watch Noragami (not that I really like this series or something, but it just looks awesome). |
