Review of K

From a name like "K" you would expect something unique, some thing different! Well I hoped so too, But sadly K fails to work up its plot and characters for the sake of fan service, and looking cool in a very cringe way. In a typical story you would make sure your viewers understand the limits of this worlds power system, K didn't set limits, in fact K didn't try to explain anything at all about that. Powers were just there for the sake of looking flashy and cool. Another one of the biggest mistakes K did with it's story is to add an unnecessary schoolsetting. If you remove that part of the story, it would make it so much better. Because it simply didn't add anything worth while to the story. It should've focused on it's main "Mystery" theme and developed it's main cast instead of adding a new character every episode. That would at least made it some what enjoyable, But the story just fell off because there never was any ground work to build upon it.

In terms of Art direction K looks nice but sometimes the White filter gets so intense that the shots loose the initial quality they had. The animation team did a good job with it's choreography. All in all The art is what you'd expect from from an average anime. The character designs were very forgettable and you can easily mix a specific two, because of the way they're introduced.

The sound wasn't anything special. overall a fine soundtrack so don't expect a FLCL level soundtrack. The OP was ok, and the ED was very average.

As for the character... oh boy! Their pacing was horrendous, characters would be introduced and in the next frame be a completely different person. There is a Cat-girl for some reason? doesn't do anything but fanservice. The only interesting characters were forced into the background and any interest I had in them would be gone by the time I saw them again, that's how little screen time they get. The show itself doesn't know which characters are important or which ones are not, so you get these very undeveloped side characters suddenly at the center of everything going on. The main trio were annoying and their friendship felt very forced. None of them drew me in or made me interested in them. One is fan service, one is shallow, and MC is very op because he is the MC.

Lastly the ending was very anticlimactic and could've easily been different if a single character could use 1% of their brain. The "mystery" was solved and I felt nothing. Even the characters were disappointed with it.

I didn't get a lot of enjoyment out of this, besides some of the choreography. There's a sequel movie but.. why? I would only go for it if you like fanservice or some background noise.

Overall 3/10, Wouldn't recommend.
