| Oh Neko, you are so hot, adorable and funny, I'm looking forward to her role in next week's episode. More Awashima please, she is hot as fuck but I also want to see her kick ass. Good to see them explain stuff about the kings, I guess the dancing guy was another king. |
| Jeez guys stop whining about the potential BL. It's never going to turn full-fledged. And of course, fanservice for males is perfectly acceptable and girls are meant to put up with it, while just a teensy bit of fanservice for females is EWWW GROSS -9999/10 HORRIBLE SHOW KICK IT INTO THE DUMPSTER? Jeebus. I'm personally very interested in what Shiro and Neko have to offer to the plot. They certainly do not exist just to be funny. (Not sure about Kuroh though - he seemed mysterious at first, but his past doesn't seem that exciting or relevant to the crux of the story.) |
| finally! the plot is getting serious!!! /I was about to drop it if it was like the secon ep; too much fanservice for males with neko and her weird positions jumping everywhere naked and showing everything ewww/ |
- I only draw freestyle! - |
| I still don't get what this is all about but at least I hope that there is some plot. |
| I am extremely disappointed about this anime right now. I wasn't expecting too much either because of all the over-hype about it, but I was expecting more then this. It's seriously going nowhere and we're 3 episodes in. I pray that it gets better. |

It's seriously going nowhere and we're 3 episodes in. I pray that it gets better. It might simply be because the show is focusing on too many characters in a short amount of time. The anime seems to be constantly jumping between: -Neko, Kuro and Shiro. -Fushimi who will probably get mixed in with Yata and the rest of the gang -Suoh and Munekata -Other minors (Shizuo That butler guy, the loli, dat ass girl, etc.) -Others (more characters appeared.) More characters appeared at the end of the episode... I wouldn't be surprise if new characters kept popping up with that 7 group/gangs or what. If they plan to show the rest of the kings, the series probably won't be doing much to any back story on every king/mc, considering we have 10 episodes left with how nothings actually happened the past episode and this. |
| They haven't shown any characters that they didn't show in the promotional materials, actually. So no, I doubt there will be any "new characters". Here's a basic list of characters if anyone needs them: Main Characters Isana Yashiro Yatogami Kuroh Neko Homura Suoh Mikoto (Red King) Kusanagi Izumo (Bartender guy with the Engrish) Yata Misaki (skaterboy) Kushina Anna (loli girl) Totsuka Tatara (guy who was shot) (There are other Homura members, but they most probably won't be major - their stories would be covered in the manga.) Scepter 4 Munakata Reishi (Blue King) Awashima Seri (Big boobed woman) Fushimi Saruhiko (The guy who looks like Reishi who raided the warehouse the Homuras were in) (There are other S4 members, but again, not important.) Other Kings: Adolf K. Weismann (Silver) Gold King (seen in Ep1 briefly) Miwa Ichigen (Colorless) High School Yukizome Kukuri Doesn't seem like a lot of characters to me. They probably won't be showing the Green clan. It's probably going to be just like the Hufflepuff House or something. |
| Okay, I'm hoping this will get better in the next episode. I don't really feel a connection to the characters. The plot is making sense but again I feel disconnected to everything. The animation is great in most parts. I'm not sure what to think. Maybe this won't turn out to have yaoi or whatever in it but I'm still surprised that so many people are uncomfortable with homosexuality. |
 |
| Admittedly, the plot does get quite confusing if you don't know much about the characters yet. I went ahead and read up about the characters in the promotional materials before the anime aired, so it might've been easier because of that. Some confusion might've been caused in this episode, particularly the fact that Fushimi Saruhiko looks similar to Munakata Reishi because of the glasses (which apparently confused OP as well, as they thought the person who attacked the Homuras in the warehouse and was revealed to have been part of Homura once was Reishi, not Saruhiko.). Just to clarify that, the person who came to the warehouse was Saruhiko. There are many little details which I really liked in these few episodes that really gave off bits and pieces of the characters, which were lovely. Such as Reishi's sudden switch from "watashi" to "ore" at the beginning of Episode 3 when Mikoto fell asleep, to show his more informal side that he doesn't show to just anyone. Also, the fact that Saruhiko looked half-bored, and half sick-of-life when he said "he's not here" in the warehouse, which was very curiosity-piquing. Seri's smirk when she said that she was just following basic procedures. Anna's tiny little reactions to things around her. The fact that Izumo may be plotting against Homura. All of these. |

| Why isn't this anime about the funny cleaning robots? |

| we finally get to see some of ono daisuke's FAMOUS kimochi warui in this episode. shudders. |
| This was a good episode, at least we have finally some blink of a plot. Looking forward to the next episode, although Yashiro is so annoying...I don't know if I ever get used to him. But Kuroh was so funny acting completely OOC while describing the wisdom-telling gadget of his xD |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| Weird. |
| I'm particularly interested in knowing the Colorless King. |

| Finally we got to understand some parts of the situation! Although the thing with Shiro being bad is really mysterious and I love it. Some kind of double personality, heh? That'd be cool. The explaining conversation between Kuro and Shiro were amazing, exactly what I was thinking. Really good so far. |

| I'm glad that they get some explaining done at last... Judging from the Souoh - Munekata interaction - some BL dj/fanfics are sure to come. Not that i mind actually. Kuro, you've got crush on your old master? More BL? And what about Whitey-Blackey? Nah, go make threesome with Neko, for all I care for now. Awashima, you cold bitch, I think I like you. Yes, not only for your sexy body. And Yato - way to go! That were some good moves with those gangsters there. Sorry if it's to random. Cold meds melt the brain. |
  |
| So many awesome characters... especially Reishi, dat voice.... Why are all characters voiced by Sugita Tomokazu so badass... And they always seem to put others above themselves :D |
 |
| im glad they finally explained stuffs... first part was good, until the MC with neko appeared... i really dont like that cat, can the red haired guy be the MC instead :) 3/5 |

| Mabey one more episode for me on rather i/m going to put on hold,keep watching or drop......I just LOVE tha music and art though :> The story is good and all its just ....meh a bit jumpy and filled with plot holes..for now.I hope it gets better/clear ....Ugh such a hard decision 3/5 |

| Well, this episode was best than the shitfest that was the last one. At least now I can see characters, not only pretty boys and girls. |

Are you implying K isn't simplistic and is actually "complex"? Please, do elaborate. It has several factions for one, which the poster doesn't seem to be able to keep up with. There are also more behind the scenes that hasn't been shown yet, because who the heck expects every plot twist to be thrown into their faces by the third episode? We have a premise now. We have a promise for more things to come, as can be seen by the implied relationships between some members of Homura and SCEPTER 4 which hasn't been clearly shown yet (a.k.a. Izumo and Seri clearly has something going on - so could Izumo betray Homura later on? etc. etc.). Then, there is also the whole Yashiro thing which is definitely linked to everything, as well as the deal with the Silver and Gold Kings, and in the following episodes we will see how they are going to be interwoven with the plot between the red and blue kings. All in all, I do not see how this plot is shallow or pointless or non-understandable. |
| another interesting episode. Love the ending to this episode with Kuro sipping his tea and saying "Well then, time to kill you" lmao. And this fanatic obsessing with that voice recorder...Way out of character lmao. Loved it. |
| I thought they would explain more of the clans but they stopped at red. Anyway, Neko makes this show worth watching. |

All in all, I do not see how this plot is shallow or pointless or non-understandable. I guess you have a point there, but this is all speculation and hoping for its potential to grow, right? And how do you expect them to add all these "awesome plot twists" and a "strong plot" in a mere 8 episodes when the show is about 7(!) kings, a random dude and a cat? For me, the show has already ruined itself for providing us with almost extremely useless first and second episodes and a stupid third episode. The only thing redeeming about this show is the background art cause holy shit, those are the prettiest backgrounds I've ever seen in anime. |
|
| So many awesome voice actors ^^ Tomokazu Sugita, Mamoru Miyano, Jun Fukuyama, and Yuuichi Nakamura in one show… not to mention Miyuki Sawashiro and Daisuke Namikawa ^^ |
| The lieutenant probably has the worst uniform I've ever seen... The plot so far seems really... meh. Feels like an excuse to throw pretty-boys at us. |
| This anime is just...i dunno...not that great :/ |
| Interesting. Interesting. If there isn't any superb fight scene in this anime, it's getting a straight 3/10. |
 |
| As usual, I like this episode. Now we're slowly given some exposition while keeping some things hidden until future episodes. Comedy is still good. Character interactions are still what's kept me interested. |
| The animation definitely gives high hopes of potential. I just hope that's not all this series relies on. And so, our protagonist gets to live another day. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| I want to finish this series, but blushing Shiro and Kuro are making me want to drop it right away.Plot seems interesting, i like ideas about Kings, and other characters are great as well.I don't reallly know what to do with it.For now i guess i will check 2 episodes more and then decide. 4/5 for episode without moment i mentioned above. |
 |
| This is pretty meh so far. It's shaping up to be Guilty Crown 2.0 as I expected. I'd love to be proven wrong. One thing's for sure, all these dudes blushing is making me want to punch a puppy. Thank god Neko is there to keep things straight. |
 |
| Really glad we got an explanation of the Kings but I want to know what the other colours are. xD |
 |
| Watching for the Neko~ |
| It seems I'm not the only one annoyed with male characters blushing, what is with these guys? There's nothing wrong with blushing per se but it's the guys who are doing it most of the time and it's only episode 3! Hell, I'm waiting for the Red and Blue Kings to blush too! >_< Sorry been whining again, I'll suck it up and blush in the corner too. LOL Anyway now that's out of my system, at least now we get background information on the Kings. Maybe Kuroh will serve Shiro in the future...if Shiro passes his scorecard first, of course. Awashima should stop wearing microskirt, maybe it helps her move faster in a fight but it's distracting (in that sense, it's also effective. XD), she should go like Neko, au naturel! LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |

| Questions from the first and second episodes have been pretty much answered after this. It explained a lot and it looks like the story is coming along. I'm not too sure about Shiro's innocence though, I feel like something fishy is going on... |
| It was nice...it kind of started to explain some things!Neko chan was lively as always XDD but why should they put yaoi factors ???? I hope the next one will be more interesting.. |
