Review of K

This show is something Im mixed on ,it has potential and it kind of used it. It was a bit of a disappointment though I did enjoy it. Story~ 6 The story has good ideas and used them a bit ,some are fleahed out, most arent ,and a few arent explained well.Episodes 6 to 8 are plot stuffing due to this anime at the time of writing this 13 episodes.There is a second season that is going to air in the fall and I hope they fix this issue because it is what made me put it on hold and I would of dropped itif I didnt buy the complete set which Im glad I did because the episodes 9 to 13 are great and my favorites because explanations were being explained at a good pace,everyone in the cast is gathering,and the ending is one of my favorites. Why couldn't we get more episodes like that,I would love it more if K had those episodes. The beginning of the show was fun to watch too seeing the main 3 (Isana,Kurou,and Neko) interact and trying to figure out the mystery at hand. But there are a ton of issues. There are plot holes,fleshing out elements of there world,at times dragged out dialogue (episode 7 was the biggest offender of dragged out dialogue) ,and just not enough time for the story. But that doesn't mean it wasn't fun or did some explanation. But this had potential to be something and while it was it wasnt what I expected to be. But I did enjoy it.

Characters ~6.5
The first three characters who are Isana,Kurou,and Neko are great. They have a great bond,personalities,develop nicely(mainly Kuroh) ,and balance each other. The rest I have some gripes with. Mikoto dosent get enough screen time ,hell most of the characters in Homra as I recall dont get too much expect for Yata to an extant.Then almost everyone in Scepter 4 is either bland,very jerky,or both minus Seri.Development is far and inbetween with most of the cast. Are main 3 at least dose get development and bits and pieces for some side though its not alot. The saving grace for the cast is relationships,there bonds feel strong and with emotions. Im glad they had this because a cast needs these and this made me enjoy the show a bit more. Overall while most of cast is decent minus the main 3 cast there is plenty of gripes I have with them.
Art and animation~ 10
The animation is beautiful and consistent,some of the best Ive seen. Facial expressions are noticeable,characters designs are crisp,back grounds look greatly,and the color palette looks really good. Overall ,its one of the better things in the show.
Sound ~7
The soundtrack overall was good. It dose have some noticeable songs and are good to listen to with or without the show. Op and ed are nicely done and are on my favorites list. Though are some meh tracks and a couple songs I dont think fit the show but overall it is a nice soundtrack.
Overall ~7/10
Despite ups and downs it is a good show. If your a mystery fan,like pretty animation and art,and a srrong trio of characters pick this up and give it a watch otherwise I think you should watch something else.
