Review of K

I actually tried getting into this anime a while back but couldn't get past the second episode. I found myself confused and had no idea how the world in this anime functioned, plus, if I'm not immediately hooked I can't bring myself to forcefully watch something. That being said, I continued to see the anime K pop up everywhere and the art did appeal to me, so I thought I would give it a second chance. I'm so glad I did. The first few episodes are a bit confusing because you are thrown into this world where people have these powers and theirare individuals referred to as "kings" but you have no idea how it all connects and who these random people are. However, do not give up like I originally did. The anime does explain it all, though you have to give it some time.

K's story itself wasn't amazing but it wasn't necessarily weak. The idea is interesting and the hunt for a particular king, The Colorless King, is what keeps you hooked. That and the art and action sequences.

My favorite part of K was the art. It's vibrant and I fell in love with the different action sequences and how each character has their own fighting style.

Though, if you're one who loves characters and their development I must warn you now, the characters are kinda mehhh. You like them, theer are some unique relationships between a few, but for some reason you can't get connected to them. I found them likable, but I didn't really care about them at the same time. That may be because the anime is so short (13 episodes) or maybe they are the type of characters you grow to love with more seasons. I can't really tell.

Overall, I enjoyed K and the story it told. The characters may not have tugged on my heartstrings but the art and action definitely kept me entertained.
