And if she just got him out, the Damocles could still be his. As for the uniform...well I think if he was a hired killer, the uniform could be a disguise of sorts Quote:
I'm most worried now that the show ends up like Angel Beats....very good but with too little time to really shine.

Instead, the conflict presented in the anime feels narrowed, and episode 7 further narrows it into a Shiro trio vs. Weissman structure. Instead of being something encompassing, it felt like just "another work" telling a specific side of the story. |

Well, if what you said is true, then K is not a good standalone anime. Heck, even Gundam series doesn’t require you to check other media beside the series itself to “fully grasp its universe”. You don’t have to immerse yourself in Gundam novels, Gundam mangas, Gundam video games, Gundam model kits, etc to fully understand how things work in its universe.

That's not the point of the Gundam franchise anyway. Each story in a Gundam anime has been given their ample time to explore the universe, especially the older Gundam series that have the advantage of not suffering from the Cour Syndrome. However, K, as an anime series that has been produced at a time when cours dictate the length of a story, would naturally suffer from this. Even more so since they may have consumed more money in art and animation quality than the budget of a typical one-cour series.
Besides, we already have seen a similar approach in Angel Beats!, although Heaven's Door is the only canon source of the story aside from the anime series itself. That reminds me, why are you asking a thirteen-episode series to fully explore a universe like it was supposed to be two cours long? Honestly, that's just gonna be a "Rushed as heck" or a "What? That's it?" situation, the former of which happened in Angel Beats!. At least they decided to focus on one story for the viewers to chew on.

It’s not like I hate this anime and came to this thread only to bash it. In fact, I really enjoy the latest 2-3 episodes. But it doesn’t prevent me from feeling that K lack something in its storytelling/execution. I can’t really point it out. You may refer to my previous posts.

Novelizations, companion manga and other supplementary material are pretty common for original anime series (as few as there are). It doesn't mean the anime can't stand on its own, it means there's more merchandise for fans who want to Quote:
Also, what excuses? Anime run on very limited time. A one-cour series has to tell its entire story in cca. 4,5 hrs, that's ridiculously little time. If the writers want a decently complex story instead of focusing exclusively on the characters, they can't afford spouting exposition all the time and making the viewer familiar with even the smallest details about the world the story takes place in, or the background of mob characters, etc. So an anime series will supply enough information to make its story work, and if the fan response is decent, they'll release supplementary stuff. That's it. Quote:

Once again, Marcus H’s statement is the excuse. I never said “K is telling all the important info in the novels and the manga”. When did I ever said that? Read my posts again. It's a reaction toward Marcus H’s statement.

...And my post is also just a reaction to your statement that includes this phrase: "Instead of being something encompassing..."
For a moment, I assumed that you wanted a thirteen-episode series to handle everything that is on all K canon sources. That's... kinda impossible, don't you think?

Oh, wait, lol.
Anyway... () if it's the production team's decision to split the story into different media to make the flow of the story in the anime series go smoothly, then let them do so. It might not be the best decision, but it sometimes cannot be helped. We can't say that a series is bad as a standalone series if it was never designed by the production team as one. (By analogy, you can't say that a single filter can work as good as a complete filtration machine.) Oh, and you can't disregard those "excuses" (i.e. cour constraints) because sometimes, it dictates budget allocation and scheduling times [the same reason why BRS in Noitamina got eight episodes just to fit that darned Thermae Romae]. The best story can be crippled by the production team, and there's nothing that the writers of the story can do about it but to play by the rules.

Read the reds and kuroh side story and i kinda understand a bit more now . Im still hoping this is actually a split cour anime and a second season will air in spring or summer but that seems pretty doubtful now.
