MINDSET:
Not too ambitious to be train wreck, but still ends up being mediocrity material with insane visuals and music. Does anyone noticed the singer said Hentai? It looks like a fail, but not the Titanic collapsing in the iceberg.
SYNOPSIS:
Generic main who only stands out because of he's natural white hair, suddenly get majority involved in a massive clan war against the Red Team, and The Blue Team because of some misunderstood revenge scheme which ends up being rather dum at the end... He also lives in some semi-sci-fi setting where magic and weird supernatural stuff apparently exist for no narrative reason.
REVIEW:
First of, the world building was utter shait in this show, we have resemblances of how these clans people who hold such mysterious powers, who can apparently? Make red fire? Or apparently having bursting energy from Your fists means Your attacks are stronger? Seriously, does anyone notice how vague the supernatural aspect of this show was? It could've been a decent handicap to just explain these mysterious looking powers covered by LSD visuals. Heck! They never even shown the green clan as if I don’t care, and no one cares.
All what I remember from the whole mystery aspect of the show since I didn’t even noticed when I read reviews for this, is that it always seemed so silly and stupid like how they keep Neko, the show whore, a complete mystery until we see on what seems to be a lazy written moment near the climax as an excuse for us to care for a badly written fan service character, or the “Epic” reveal of the villain looking like wolf sperm that rams into Your mouth not your arse *laughs* Overall, having the “mystery” slapped onto Wikipedia makes me feel as if the show was less of a mystery and more of a lame story with silly aspects thrown in that clearly need tweaking.
Regardless, there does seem to be a lack of tension in this show, because the characters truly feel like a bunch of simplistic Archetypes, they feel overall stale and don't develop at all in the duration of the show. It always seemed that all what they ever wanted was just to do there vengeance work and be done with it. The support cast who don't really take a larger role in this project are also pretty bland, like how the protagonists love interest was never given any depth or explanation and it all feels like she's a plot device character that the show kind of teases that there's a relationship going on here.
The fan service is surprisingly quite taint in this one, rather its just some cat lady showing her big jugs off, and how she never wore any clothes yet they still covered the nipples, but whatever. The cast is forgettable anyway like the quiet girl, the angry guy- wait, in fact, most of the damn side cast are barely explored at all for You to even grasp the personality properly, like this supporting unit from the red clan just helping out as if he was just helping out or the big boobed secretary from the blue team who is just serious and has a crush on the leader. Overall, I was mostly appealed from their designs and the effort from each man hour for them to make up all of this fine art.
The show also seems to create tension like how it tries to attempt to have one large over arching mystery that tries to make itslef look epic, but it all just felt like an excuse for a mystery aspect rather than making it legit. There were also episodes that were nothing but pure filler, and made itself look like a waste of time. Addressing the whole “German” aspect of the show, it does make it look flashier and more unique on paper, but it always seemed like another excuse for the writers to add some quirky detail that barely adds up to anything. Heck, they even called one of the plot device characters Adolf, as if it was a rule of cool.
Side characters suck, story was badly handled and everyone just seemed to be a lame stoner. What else is there to say? All what I remember for the narrative was sperm wolfy here, and a few character quirks.
Consequently, do I even remember anything else that redeemed good except for druggie visuals and music? The show has potential to be a decent mystery show with supernatural aspects, but it always seemed to me that mystery shows always seemed difficult to pull off, and by the way, what’s with the title guys? K? What You mean K meaning kittens? I don't really get the title here, and it just seemed there as a quirky marketing tool than anything particular.
OBVIOUS FACT that the Animation does remind me of NGNL, with all the LSD visual jazz, but does it ever further emphasise the tone and atmosphere of the show? No. It felt like they simply chucked it in there for everyone to awe at. But its still damn great, and I really like the bonus points given for this mediocrity for having a lack of CGI fight scenes and just emphasise more of it on the backgrounds. Everything has such a fine gloss and shine to it, You see the effort and style GoHands put their man efforts into, and the character designs all feel well designed and thought out, sure I see lazy ones, yet most of the designs always had some fine charm added to them. Sure, it makes them far from ordinary people, but its damn high quality, so how would I care too much about that? The action scenes also have some pretty damn great choreography, though I admit that the Clan War episode does seem cheap by just using images, but I can imagine such a budget if they had to animate so many damn bodies.
Sound still retains a fine use of all the mainstream instruments with company just flinging money at. The opening is one of my favourites, and it gets me really hyped to watch such a bad show, with those really beautiful visuals the choreography and even the visual effects! As someone who watched the dub, it wasn’t anything epic, it just felt like another Funimation dub so its just good. Except for that, there’s really not a great deal to say about visuals and music since all what I can say is for You to just look at some pretty visuals...
LEGACY:
What else is there to say? Seriously. The reason why this is a mediocrity was because of the visuals and music. Its a show that You just really need to shut that mind down, and just live in LSD... This show does seem be quite underrated to a certain extent, so its not going to be something that will really leave an impact.
SCORES:
3.5/10 – For useless cast.
3.5/10 – Strangely forgettable and bad story.
8/10 – LSD visuals are amazing. PERIOD.
7.5/10 – All of Your mainstream music with a damn good budget. (0.5 added for the OP)
3.5/10 – I prefer narrative over visuals to enjoy fiction...
FINALE: 5/10 (seems obvious enough...)
