Review of K

Most of the show: Nothing is clear, things are confusing, I ask, "Who is that guy?", "Why is that guy mad at that guy?" , "Whats up with the umbrella?", "Whats up with the cat?", "This guy sure is hungry, isn't he?", "Is this guy a bad guy?", "Why are there nazis?","Who is this naked chick?","Did they just teleport?","How did they get to Tokyo?","What is going on?" Last bit: The plot is revealed. Everything comes together in a beautiful way and I cry for an episode and a half. There is character development. It's not traditional. Little character development through dialogue, however bythe last couple episodes I had a new understanding of and appreciation for characters I either wasn't sure about, didn't like at all or thought were enemies. Plot development and character development were executed in a way I found refreshing. The audience had the opportunity to see into things by the full effect of the show rather than just dialogue or action alone. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Its a bit weird for sure, and not a weird like "shin-chan" weird or even "kill-a-kill" weird. Its in a class of its own but I feel like the crew, writers, animators, etc, had a serious goal in mind when creating this anime. I think they achieved it: stunning art, confusing story, simple message and really quite beautiful overall.
