Review of K

When I first saw pictures and trailers for K, I though: "Man this looks promising!" And so the first episode started off with an amazing instrumental hip hop track, some cool looking dudes and a cute loli... and this weird blue filter... Well after a couple of episodes full of nonsense later I found myself baffled how anyone could even understand what this show was about. Well needless to say, this show made as much sense as a monocycle riding monkey on a plane. Let's just get to it.First the good:

Animation 8/10

This show looks damn fucking amazing it would have earned a 9/10 but that damn ugly blue filter ruined it for me to be honest.
I mean look at it it's fluid as hell, the fighting scenes are fabulous. I was impressed. The only thing it kinda felt short was sometimes when they used boring stills ineffective and some background looked okay but not great (but sometimes they also did).
Another gripe I had with the character designs. I like if they are individualized but they were a bit too Bi-Shounen for me.

Sound 6/10

The other great thing about this show was the great OST. A mixture of instrumental Hip hop and Electronica. Really cool and my first favorite OST of the season (others came to that list later).
The Voiceactors were okay but because the characters were so poor and 1dimensional they couldn't shine and non stood out.
The opening was horrendous and the ending forgettable.

Now to the bad Parts:

Story 3/10

That this convoluted piece of garbage even got 3/10 is a miracle.
But I have my reasons for that.
Besides the ending the plot made no sense. had no sense of pacing, was complex for complexity sake and even in the end wasn't clear. I would say the premise was okay but since it never really got explained it was just a huge mess.
At least because of the nonsensical story it never felt as if there was anything that wasn't important or like a filler, and some battles where cool so the episodes could be exciting and here and there was a cliffhanger or WOW effect but still in light of a stupid plot felt short.

Maybe it's me and I just didn't "get it", but then it was the animes fault. I "got" Lain, and if this crap is deeper than Lain I think I kill myself.

Characters 1/10

At least everyone seemed to have a reasonable motivation for what they did.
But else there was no development, nor did any character make sense. Everything felt artificial.
Likable was only the cute Loli for being a cute Loli. Yeah that's it.
Worst-Cast-Ever.

Value 2/10
If you have no Idea what I mean by this, go to my Profile, check "new rating system" and read about Value. I think it's a very good point to make for every show.
But I will include it's parts for this review
Rewatchability - only to see if it makes more sense. But please no thanks not again.
Sentimental - It was a particular bad anime with the most messy plot I've ever seen. It sure stands out to me. It was also the first really nonsensical anime I've ever seen. I give creds for that.
Historical - Non this show will be forgotten, didn't do anything groundbreaking or influential. At least I hope it doesn't influence other shows to be this bad.

Enjoyment 3/10
I did enjoy it for the music and amazing animations.
And I hoped it would become clear.
But after finishing it, it only was this really bad anime that I finished with wasted animation and soundtrack.

Conclusion : BAD do not watch, of just for the fighting scenes but I have some gifs for that if you'd like to seem them.
