Review of K

"K" is a bit of a mixed bag. While it does have some impressive visuals, the story and characters leave a lot to be desired in a series that could only do so much in 13 episodes (and a movie I've yet to see). The story of "K" is easy to follow, but it is also a a bit hard to understand because of how it is presented. Certain things are revealed and certain characters make decisions throughout the series that exist more or less because they need to push the plot along. The characters are rather bland to me. It never really feels like theirmotivations are genuine, but rather that they exist to move the plot. Misaki and Fushimi are the most developed in my opinion because they are really the only ones that have any of their history explained. Kuroh and Yashiro are entirely too uninteresting to be the main characters of this series. They serve their purpose, as does everyone else, but they don't have anything about that that make them interesting away from the main plot.

The art is great. The animation is greatly detailed, even in moments when there isn't a lot of action. My only issue is that the colors are a bit too washed out, but this is something that might not bother most people.

The voice acting is fine. I liked Ben Diskin as Misaki. I also thought that Matt Mercer did well. Everyone else did well, but nothing to stand out.
