And, despite all the time spent on it, Fushimi is the only character I don't feel I manage to get a handle on. A lot about his motivations and personality are still kind of a mystery to me, unlike everyone else, who were all able to establish themselves quite well in my mind.

I think the real problem was they had too much character and not enough time to do them all justice. If K had been a 22-26 episode anime it probably would have been amazing.

I kind of feel like 2 cours would be too much for the story and it'd be too padded and stretched out.

I'm thinking a weird number of episodes like 15-18 would be enough to add some extra characterization and backstory for some characters like the main trio, Munakata and Suou, Weismann and the Gold King, and maybe the Colorless King.

Yeah, the thing is I don't think they were trying to do the characters justice.

I'm judging the anime on it's own, but at least some of the characters are probably properly realised in the manga, or other media.

To Be Honest, K in hindsight really just feels like world building with an attempt to quickly justify an anime by put putting in a plot and some characters.

I doubt they have enough steam to build a franchise, they barely constructed the world.

K 13: No blood, no bone, no ash! The Red King was cool, and I find it unfortunate that he passed away. His sendoff is at least nice. Heck, at least he actually died. No contrived surviving-the-odds scenario.

Overall, I liked the episode, though then my expectations weren't exactly high.

The series in whole is a mess; there are ways to tell the story more coherently. Lots of ways. Kind of unfortunate, really, since I think the setting and characters have potential.

So... second season. Will give it a shot because the verse interests me, but I have very low expectations in the story department.

Hey, it's been two years, but the film is out on DVD and now subbed! In fact, the subs you might find floating around on the internet are also the same sub track from the disc itself, so I'm pretty sure you can just buy the movie yourself without having to worry about translation issues - although I take minor issue with some choices made in the official subs.

Anyway, it was a pretty good movie! Discuss.

All the strengths of the TV series, none of the padding. Green clan is interesting, and I liked the new red king

First Episode of Return of Kings is out and it mostly seems to be a catch-up for those who missed the movie but was still as beautiful as ever with some good action, and some random fanservice.

How is it catch-up if we learned more about the Greens and the beginnings of the season's plot was revealed? How can the fanservice be random if it's intentionally placed there for the sake of omnipandering?

In any case, great first episode, in my opinion. Now if only there were proper subs that weren't ruined by Viz's poor translation and even worse video quality.

The fanservice is so badly-implemented and forced, not to mention it pretty much confines Seri to the "useless and distracting weakling" role.

Dunno why, but it's always bothered me more than almost any other character relegated to fanservice duty. Drags down what's otherwise a pretty good show.

Catch-up because it reiterates some important points that happened in the movie for those who haven't seen it:Anna is the new Red King, the Blue King is weakening, the Blues have the Slates, the Greens want Shiro, etc.

Random as in unexpected and out of place from a narrative perspective.

Double Post for new episode.

This second episode is a lot more exposition heavy than the first and was quite interesting including another Death Flag for the Blue King with Seri talking to the guy who mercy killed the previous Blue King. It is also interesting how prominent Anna was in the opening (She looks odd without her little hat though).

Well, the green king is goddamn weird. Wonder if that's ever going to get explained

In the season where he and his Clan are the main antagonistic force? Yeah, it probably will be.

I would have to agree that the Green King is certainly interesting. It's also interesting that they seem to be setting the Greens up to be the opposites of Silver in the same way that the Reds and Blues are opposites. It also looks like we are going to get a bit more explanation of who Neko is this season, which should be good.

Ninja girl is finally back! Also a bit of a plot shift and a surprisingly different tone

It was good to see the Ninja back and get a bit of info on her, I had been wondering where she has since the start of the series. What's the betting that Fushimi is taking on the role of The Mole and the argument between him and the Blue King was just for show.

@Tropay Xion Seri is not the only fanservice character in this show it's just she gets the most of it. Besides I see a lot of FT fanservice so I'm kind of used to it now. I know what I just said would get anger from people on tumblr and perhaps here as well, but honestly if you don't like don't watch. It's not like we can get K anime censored and changed what's aired is aired and I don't really care imo.

She's not the only one used for fanservice, but she's also the worst-implemented. How am I to believe she's the second strongest SCEPTER member, if she jobs hard in every battle she's in, and the show insists that her badly-drawn breasts and ass are integral to the scene? Even Neko is way more subtle than that, and she somehow forgets to bring along underwear she's already wearing.

Besides, I'm not going to stop watching just because of Seri.

Well that's not just a matter of fanservice it's also the writing you take issue with for her character I can understand that. It's just the recent censorship with Nintendo games, the Dead or Alive fiasco, and the whole thing is grinding my gears in general. Everyone is complaining about girls not or showing skin and people defending attack it's just a mess.
