THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Going to have to get used to the pacing for this season..

Some parts with the other Kings expressing their ideas about the current affairs but I thought the second half was better with the Green Clan in action. Their fighting tactics are brutal and fast so I expect them to be a strong group. Lol Neko trying to brighten up everything:


That Yukari guy is no pushover.
It's kinda neat seeing Kuro fighting again. Choreography of the fight remains quite well done with the animation and OST imo. Lol, Neko.

Green team meeting. Then more meeting of 3 teams. Sakurai-san's character is to the point about if white king being suitable for the leader or not. Reason told. Silver king vs. green king battle? Even green king himself is childish (facing the duet like game), but hid himself away afterwards. They plan to face the two guys (Kugimiya-san's character and Kuro's sempai) first.

Immediately to the battle. The two is strong, though, even they proceed with the plan. The opponents are not according to the plan. Green king released his seal thing (and silver hair) while the two were on battle.

26:25 (30 mins. late) next.

This is just waste of time. Sure, something actually managed to happen in this episode, what a surprise. But really, when the appearance of tiny bits of plot actually surprises you, it means it's a bad show.

Though they still insist on repeating every bloody piece of information at least three times. And still insist on doing all the exposition (including forced exposition and repetitive exposition) through totally unnecessary talking and talki, and talking over and over again. God help me...

Shiro is still mopey, Kuroh's role still doesn't exist, Neko is... Eh, who cares. All of these characters are flatter than the floor in my flat. I know that their depth was never amazing in season 1 and movie, but here it's just ridiculous. It's like they're made of paper.

Also I just can't stand this Kuroh. If he ever says another word in future episode, I swear I'm either going to smash my screen, cut my wrists or simply drop the whole thing. The writing and characters are just so bad.

And the most ridiculous thing that I saw this week? The time skip during explanation of the "strategy". Why the hell was the explanation skipped in the first place, when then they explained the strategy again by talking like 5 minutes later. This is ridiculous. It actually would make more sense to explain it just during this scene in school, that's all. Because the later scene had no point. Why is Shiro explaining strategy to Kuroh, who should already know it better than anyone! Damn, he knew it before the scene in the lecture theatre, and he listened to it during that scene as well. Why did he need a remainder? Did he forget it during these 5 minutes?

Oh, I know. It's called poor exposition, and poor writing. They needed something to stick between ridiculously short action scenes flashes (like basically all the fights happened off-screen. I guees no money was the reason), so they decided to put some random exposition in between, because people talking are easier to animate. Of course, they could be doing something else, or talk about something else, but the creators just decided to choose the easiest and worst option. Who the hell writes this show?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining because I didn't get enough action. I'm complaining because plot is bad, characterisation is bad, exposition is even worse and so on.

Also Kuroh's development moved backwards in this episode. Amazing.

I'm just going to watch season 1, eat ice creams and cry out of misery.

Well, it's clear by now that they don't have enough story for a 12-eps series.

I hope they still have surprise in the end, like for example the introduction of the last king (purple?)... or Mikoto and Tatara somehow returning to life, lol

Welp, Shiro, Munakata and Anna are fucking screwed....Shit is about to get realer than real lol....Man that ending was intense xD

Interesting first half starting with the Green Clan meeting which was hilarious considering that everyone were doing their own shit making Nagare feel like he was being ignored xD Mr Iwa grew on me even more as well and it's cool how he's kinda like a father figure to his king

The meeting was pretty standard, Shiro explaining the circumstances behind what's going on with Nagare as well as the state of the slates and then of course, getting the whole devil's advocate thing out of the way so that everyone can be on the same page with no issues to mess things up....Well done there

My favorite part of the episode however is finding out about Nagare going toe to toe with the Gold King in the past.....I honestly had no idea that he was going to be THAT strong since he was able to hold his own against the lieutenant and was evenly matched with him for most of the fight until he inevitably lost (Probably due to the fact that he can't maintain his strength for that long)

Action scenes were great as usual although nothing much happened but I like that despite Shiro's plan, things aren't going exactly like they predicted

Can't wait to see the battle of the kings :D

I swear I don't know if you're just the world's greatest nitpicker or if you're just brutally daft

Shiro repeating all of that information is vital considering, I dunno, his conversation with Nagare where he revealed all of that shit for the first time was between he and Shiro only. How else was everyone else supposed to know what was going on/what is their enemies' goal is and what they're objectives are.....And I'm guessing you missed the parts of new information that we got too huh?

And how the fuck is Shiro mopey in this? The dude was freaking calm and collected throughout the entire episode dude....If anyone was slightly mopey, it would be Kuro (And rightfully so since he had a good reason to be).....Neko brings a breath of fresh air to the show but I'm not gonna bother debating about her

And how is the writing bad especially for Kuro considering the fact that he lost to his older brother/senior and fellow pupil/senpai on more than one occasion and quite laughably at that.....You expect him or anyone else in the world for that matter to not doubt that they can defeat said person that has consistently wiped the floor with them?

In regards to the strategy thing, have you ever heard of not spoiling your audience/keeping them guessing? That's pretty much what that little media stunt was......And he wasn't explaining anything to him, he, like lots of other people were skeptical as to if the plan would scene and rightfully so since it didn't even go according to plan

>Random exposition
>Not complaining because you didn't get more action but when credible and logical explanation yet again this week takes the spotlight you complain by spouting ridiculous nonsense

I thought the episode great. The green clan's meeting was a little funny and man that second half. To think the green king was able to keep up with the gold king. Looking forward to seeing how Kuroh does against Yukari now and the green king vs the other kings.

Yeah I laughed at that too. And it's even funnier because they made it seem as if the plan to defeat Nagare was some sort difficult strategy (idk, maybe we're missing part of it?) when it was the most basic plan ever: defeat the two top guys and then get to Nagare. Am I missing something here? Seemed like that was the whole plan. We didn't need an explanation of why they're doing that either, anyone who has played any RPG game would know to defeat the tiny ones first then the boss. I guess we're probably missing the part of their strategy for capturing Nagare or something, but still. The way it was presented made it seem like a bigger deal than it actually was.

Nice to see Nagare get out of his chair though. I still find it odd that as a King, he voluntarily wears a straight-jacket most of the time. Doesn't seem like anyone's forcing to him to wear it, and he has power to change his outfit anyways.

This season is becoming more and more depressing by the minute.

Why the heck is Shiro acting so out of character? He's simply reverted to his previous whimpy state (before regaining his memories). He's turning into one of the most spineless main protoganists in anime until date (Yuki from Mirai Nikki being #1).

Awkward and forced humorous moments with Neko. Kuroh acting whimpy aswell.

Animation and plot is improving, that's a good thing though.

Still, I think I can talk for most of the real men here; We're not interested in a spineless main protoganist. What made K season 1 truly great was the fact that the main protoganist which was a weakling suddenly regained memories and re-access to his immense power. Mikoto's badass moments. The fights of blue vs red.

Now it's a crybaby version of Game of Thrones. I'm all fine with loads of talk in an anime, but pointless talk is pointless.

I was expecting Shiro to become a total badass, to show his strength. But all he's ever done is make an entrance, talk, talk, talk, whine, show gratitude and talk.

That's crap.

If this paperthin character development continues, I'll drop this season.

7. You know what....After responding to you I'm pretty sure that you're just daft......Classic facepalm moment right here


Sorry, I numbered your paragraphs, so you know which one I'm responding to.

1. and 7. I'm complaining, because I am not daft. That is the reason. I am a being inteligent enough to understand something the first time it is shown/said. I don't need information beeing repeated three times, and I don't need oral commentary of the obvious from the characters to understand what's going on. I don't like that the creators think that the audience is daft.

And I'm nitpicking, because I loved the first season, and it just pains me how mych worse this one is.

2. Sorry, but where the hell did I write anything about Shiro telling other clans about Nagare's plan? Oh, I didn't? Well, then why are you telling me not to complain about it, when I didn't complain about it. WTF?

Although I should've complained about it, because the whole lecture theatre scene was pointless. It was there just so the exposition of Nagare's plan could be repeated for the sake of the (apparently idiotic) audience. Which is stupid. Instead of this whole scene, Shiro could've just mention somewhere in the episode that he shared his information on Nagare's plan with other kings. That's just waste of time.

3. Except for the scene where he almost cried in the lecture theatre, when talking about Gold King, and the fact that he basically just goes around pretty gloomy and unemotional all the time? No, not mopey at all, you're right!

4. Writing is bad in general: Exposition through characters stating obvious stuff that they already know to each other is bad writing. Barely any plot is bad writing. Kuroh's character regress from the end of the movie (where he seemed to find the resolve in his fight against Yukari) is bad writing. Kuroh's only purpose being stating that he believes in Shiro is bad writing.

As for Kuroh alone, I don't expect him to be over confident or over capable. That's not what good writing is, whole bad writing doesn;t mean that character is non confident. That has nothing to do with each other. Like WTF? Where did you get that ideas? Good writing of the character means that character is not flat, has some depth to him, some bigger role than just snapping at anyone who dares to doubt Shiro (He's like a computer program, lol), and maybe some actual character development? And no, character development doesn't mean Kuroh beating Yukari. I don't know what I actually expect from Kuroh, but I definitely expect him to be more complicated and less flat than a piece of paper. I don't know. You're probably going to mix it all in your mind again, so I'm not sure if there is any point explaining.

5. Please watch it again. Kuroh repeated the strategy just for the sake of reapeating it and reasons. And the he said something along the lines "Oh, I'm sad I can't beat Yukari alone, I'm so useless.". You know, they could give us the strategy in hundred better ways that still allow Kuroh being sad about his lack of power.

As for not spoiling the audience: YES, they kept audience guessing for whole 5 more minutes, and then spoiled the whole pland still practivally before the battle, and then every character EVER was repeating the bits of the plan, which made Kuroh spoiling it completely useless and repetitive. Yes, amazing. That's how a good show is done, definitely.

lol

6. You know, there is actually more to the good anime than just exposition and action. That might surprise you, but there are things like "plot" (what's the point of so much exposition, when there's barely any plot? lol) or "character development and characterisation". And yes! Plot can actually happen without actual action and battle scenes! AMAZING, RIGHT? So yeah, the fact that I think there is too much unnecessary exposition, doesn't mean I want more action scenes. I just want something more substantial.

7. Facepalm is exactly what I do, when I watch episodes of this anime. So yeah, fell free to facepalm as much as you want. See if I care. :P

Oh, and sorry for going as far as personal insults, but well... you started, and I really don;t like when people call me daft. Blame yourself, please. :)

Well, I won't drop it, but I agree with your post.
But I never expected Shiro to become a badass. Frankly I never thought he was. But with that being said, I still expected more from him than this. He became a great character by the end of the first season, and I expected him to become even more better after the time skip. But instead, like you said, he is regressing back to a spineless character.

And then we have Neko and Kuro. Neko annoyed me from the start, and the scene with her trying to cheer up the boys was stupid, redundant and boring. And Kuro is the prime example of a two-dimensional character. But I still am hoping for some character development from him.

Now that I think about it, the only two things that I am looking forward to in this season are what is going to happen with Munakata and Anna's development as a king. Even Nagare, who used to intrigue me ever since the movie, was a turn off (but I am pretty interested in his abilities. That guy fought toe to toe with the Lieutenant). He is just one of those cliche characters that want humans to evolve.
Oh yes, I am looking forward to some amazing fights as well.

Do you know what would have made this episode awesome?

Opening this episode with a fight between Gold King vs Green King fight would have substantiated how OP the Green King is meant to be to me. GoHands could have busted out some serious fireworks. Now would be a great time for top-teir story telling and animation.

But no, we get Shiro's exposition, and a little shadow puppet sketch.

K must seriously be banking on a spectacular back half of the season. Seriously. As it stands, I'd be hard pressed to commend this series to anyone, except for its "great side material". At the moment, that just sounds like a veiled insult.

I'll be over there, crying and buried in icecream, and rewatching season one. Most of this first half of the season has been wasted.

The cliffhanger killed me, but I am really excited to see Nagare Hisui fight the Anna, Reisi, and not sure if Adolf will fight Nagare but I think he will in episode 7 of Return of Kings. Plus, guys read K: Dream of Green because it is a very interesting story that is more about the Green Clan, JUNGLE. If you wanted to know more about them, and probably why Nagare is confined in a wheelchair and learn more of his character personality. About Nagare he is OP that indeed his power rivals that of the Gold King that I really hope they make a flash back at their fight to remove any plot holes.

At first I am very shocked of Nagare's capabilities when he fist unleashed his power. That this shows that he is indeed a formidable foe to deal because his power is lightning/electricity, therefore he is powerful, even though he is confined on a straitjacket and a wheel chair. That I want to see his powers in action next episode and I am looking forward to the fight.

Another good episode, the first part was interesting and the part of fight we saw were amazing. Like usual, the OSTs and the color art are beautiful.
Shiro's clan is nice to see and I'm happy to learn that they never used their real power so far. Great cliffhanger, Nagare seems very strong.

This is just waste of time. Sure, something actually managed to happen in this episode, what a surprise. But really, when the appearance of tiny bits of plot actually surprises you, it means it's a bad show.

Though they still insist on repeating every bloody piece of information at least three times. And still insist on doing all the exposition (including forced exposition and repetitive exposition) through totally unnecessary talking and talki, and talking over and over again. God help me...

Shiro is still mopey, Kuroh's role still doesn't exist, Neko is... Eh, who cares. All of these characters are flatter than the floor in my flat. I know that their depth was never amazing in season 1 and movie, but here it's just ridiculous. It's like they're made of paper.

Also I just can't stand this Kuroh. If he ever says another word in future episode, I swear I'm either going to smash my screen, cut my wrists or simply drop the whole thing. The writing and characters are just so bad.

And the most ridiculous thing that I saw this week? The time skip during explanation of the "strategy". Why the hell was the explanation skipped in the first place, when then they explained the strategy again by talking like 5 minutes later. This is ridiculous. It actually would make more sense to explain it just during this scene in school, that's all. Because the later scene had no point. Why is Shiro explaining strategy to Kuroh, who should already know it better than anyone! Damn, he knew it before the scene in the lecture theatre, and he listened to it during that scene as well. Why did he need a remainder? Did he forget it during these 5 minutes?

Oh, I know. It's called poor exposition, and poor writing. They needed something to stick between ridiculously short action scenes flashes (like basically all the fights happened off-screen. I guees no money was the reason), so they decided to put some random exposition in between, because people talking are easier to animate. Of course, they could be doing something else, or talk about something else, but the creators just decided to choose the easiest and worst option. Who the hell writes this show?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining because I didn't get enough action. I'm complaining because plot is bad, characterisation is bad, exposition is even worse and so on.

Also Kuroh's development moved backwards in this episode. Amazing.

I'm just going to watch season 1, eat ice creams and cry out of misery.


you're just complaining for complaining's sake, although i agree with some stuff.

I actually like that they mixed up the opponents they were expecting, makes it more interesting than seeing Kuro against his senior again.

I don't really understand the power level between Kings. Does it just depend on the person? Why is Green so powerful?? I figured Shiro being the first king he'd be more powerful than Gold, but guess not...

If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).
