But by episode 1 or even 2, people were complaining that it was horrible with no plot and just pretty art. Some were calling it the next Guilty Crown.
First episode of K and we have so much stuff happening and not a lot of explaining. While I love K, I do admit that is what threw a lot of people off.K throws its audience right in the middle of things and expects us to quickly understand the situation. It plays out like we know the king system and all the characters when really we don't...or at least not yet.
I think the real problem with K is that it had to many characters introduced and some many events happening, but not enough episodes to make it work. K would of worked better if it was a 24 episode anime. Then it would have time for character development and to be able to stretch out so many events without making it look like it is trying to stuff it all in.
I personally think that K would be better if the manga and light novels of K were released a year before the anime aired instead of the same year. It would of gave people time to understand K's world and basic background.
While there are a few faults in K, I love the anime because of the characters (especially team Homra). K has characters you find yourself fallling in love with.To be honest the writers could change the plot and make it an anime just about Homra (like K~Memory of REd) and I would be okay with that. The art/animation of K is just beautiful. You can really see that the animators worked hard on K.
Overall I give K : 9
