Review of K

K Project or "K", has been the talk of the viewers since it was released. It was expected to achieve greatness, and in cases it did. However, it gathered it's own share of haters as well, mostly because of its incomplete and vague description of the story and setup. Personally I believe that K has described enough, it could have been much longer, however, it didn't HAVE to be any longer than now. This is going to be my first review, so bear with me. Story - 7 The anime depicts the story of a student, Isana Yashiro, who was dragged into the battle of seven kingswith psychic abilities. Classic the story may be, the execution of that classic story was done quite well. The story, despite that was rather flawed. The explanations are quite lacking, the story occasionally got boring, and in the last episodes, too much story was crammed together. Even so it deseerves a 7.

Art - 9
The most impressive part about the anime is it's art. The backgrounds and characters are well drawn, except Yashiro, who had a disturbing length proportion. Even so it's art is one of it's strong points.

Sound - 8
The BGMs of this anime are very good. Character musics had their impact, which was quite crucial in this case actually. The OP and ED were decent, nothing particularly amazing. so 8 would do.

Characters - 6
The characters... well in this case K was lacking. Te characters were half-baked, not truly touching, and to be frank quite boring. Same old, same old, a carefree protagonist, a kind but violent king and a cold, calculative king.,funny female character, oblivious friends, uptight yet weird sidekick who appears to kill the protagonist and ends up helping him. They were fit for their role in the story, but regardless, a 6 would be enough.

Enjoyment - 8
I enjoyed the story. It was not something that would chain you with the chair, but it was good. However, it is notable that someone with no taste in serious genre should not bother watching K. Because it's not dark, but it's pretty serious all the time.

Overall - 7
I wouldn't consider K to be an anime highly praised. However, I don't suppose it's that bad either. It has it's own charms, despite of it's flaws.

Well, it's going to have a second season, so we can hope that the story would be expanded further.
