When I watched the first few episodes, I was really excited about this anime. It looked fun, intriguing, and even though there was plenty of fanservice, I felt like I was one of the fan it serviced, and didn't exactly mind. Now, however, I'm at a point where I doubt the story is in any way salvagable.
The main problems of this anime are the plot and the characters. Personally I feel there is nothing wrong with fanservice as long it isn't the only thing sustaining the anime. But "K" just feels really, really empty. The characters feel like premade shells for fanfiction and doujinshi,
...
and again, I *love* fanfiction and doujinshi, but the basis for them needs to be a little more solid than "K" is. The story is convoluted and very oddly paced; I am still not entirely sure what the main point of the plot is and why those kings even exist. There are too many things that are unexplained, and unless the storytelling does a complete 360 in the last couple of episodes I can't imagine this will end in a way I'll find satisfying.
Like most people have said, it looks great and has some really good seiyuu, so watching it isn't a complete waste of time. Maybe if you don't expect too much of it it's alright. I'm just disappointed because it had a lot of potential, but wasted pretty much all of it.
