I am intrigued with her relationship with Kusanagi though. Hopefully season two has her at least kicking arse somewhat. She is Blue King's righthand woman...but yet Fushimi has done more. Quote:

And whatever happened to Kitty and Doggy...Did I miss something where it was revealed that Kurou's a Strain and is really a dog??? |

Kurou is not a dog. His appearance as a dog at the end was another of Neko's illusions. Her signature bell rang as they ran across the screen to emphasize that her illusion power was active. (To be honest, if it wasn't for the bell ringing, I would have missed the animals running by because my eyes were elsewhere on the screen. When I heard the bell, I immediately started searching the screen for Neko and just barely caught sight of the animals before they ran off screen.)

He's most probably not a dog? But he's probably a Strain. Remember, his master's power was predicting the future. Kurou's powers are completely different. (Same with Anna: Mikoto had fire powers, but Anna has psychic type abilities, which means she didn't get her power from Mikoto.) |

They say Tatara is the weakest member, but his existence is very dear to his gang fellows. If Tatara is not in the gang, Mikoto already dropped his sword from overused king authority. The dropped sword on the ground will cause another disaster.
By the way, silver king and gold king are freaking tall.

From what I have gathered, GoRA seems to be taking the multi-medianess of this project for granted, so they just spread out the characterization all over the place. Since they have other materials to work on, they never bothered to properly present anything in a single work. They are even using this to their advantage, since not a single material properly explains anything, the audience has to buy all the materials. And it is somewhat working, consider how well the other merchandise are selling. |

Another note on clansman powers.
The power a clansman receive from the king not necessarily will be something that resembles the king's power. For example, due to how Gold King's power works, none of his known clansman had powers remotely similar to him. Also, clansman losing power after the king's death is not something guaranteed. When the previous Blue King died, the Scepter 4 was still running with their super natural power for 10 years long before Munakata became the new king. In ep.13, we didn't see Anna losing her emblem too. Her emblem is inside her eye, and re-watching the episode a few time, I am pretty sure I didn't see any red light rising out of her eye. |

Anime viewers don't need to be given any more info about them as they already have considering the episode count. We don't need to know Anna's full backstory, more of Tatara's big brother act or how Kuroh got Kotowari. Putting all that in the other medias is a wise choice and like you said, gives them a chance to tell more of the settting they came up with and make fans buy more merch. What the anime needed was more on characters like Mikoto, Reisi and Weismann. Not necessarily the whole story but definitely more than what was presented. GoRA could do that and still keep some extra juicy bits for the novels, etc. Instead what happened was things like Misaki & Fushimi's little spat being given more attention than needed, and would have been much better off being presented in the supplementary materials.

As someone who hasn't read the side materials and probably won't, due to lack of 1) time, 2) interest in Homra and 3) a cheap way to buy/import the Blue novel (I'm not paying 1400 yen + shipping to Europe for 214 pages), the info I got from the anime was enough to make it work, but it would've been nice to have more information in the anime on certain key players, and it's a bit irritating that we could've had more if not for the imbalance in focus.

Considering that this is officially getting a second season, maybe we should start a subforum?
We can also talk about the mangas too: Manga note: I caught up on Memories of Red and dafuq.... Spoiler:

Well, I feel pretty stupid that I forgot that this show had 13 episodes, not 12. I heard about the second season, so I decided to marathon the rest of this.
It turned out to be enjoyable enough and better than I thought it'd be based on the first few episodes. The ending and mystery turned out to be pretty interesting. So, reading the past few pages, is Kuroh a strain like Neko or not? I assumed it was Neko's illusion that allowed them to run past the Blues. By the by, what exactly is a strain? I don't remember it being explained in the anime, but that could very well just be me.. |
