Infodumps? K's really tame when it comes to that, lol. You wanted infodumps, there's Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon.
K's pretty much original content compared to the truckloads of adaptations we had, so I guess I understand why many people are "shocked" at what the first episode offered. Right now, sit back and enjoy the ride. (I might just be able to watch this tomorrow on Animax.)

Feels like watching a mixture of Durarara and Baccano. The plot feels ambiguous since the premiere didn't give much hints and the word "why" keep floating in my head even after watching it. But overall it was very cool and shiny.

Of course I understand the difference with movies is that once you're in a theatre the director knows you're likely going to watch the full thing while with a TV show there's no such guarantee and it seems audiences are not that willing to wait more than one episode. There was an interview with Masashiro Ando (director of Canaan,HSI and this season Zetsuen no Tempest) a couple years ago and here's what he had to say: Quote:

Of course it can be platonic and all, but in most cases the yaoi mangas are so sick I wouldn't touch them with a stick.

You know, I do at times like shows that's all style with no substance (not to say this K will continue to be like that throughout hopefully), but the first episode of K feels more like a music video more than anything else. Yeah, definitely good animation (mostly unnecessary though I think), but not even the good animation was enough to make me stop asking "Why?". I've seen some people compare this to Baccano and Durarara, but what made me instantly love the first episode of Baccano (aside from the 1930s America setting) was how completely chaotic and anarchistic the introductions were with an almost sneaky meta-fictional wink.

Yeah, but it's highly unlikely that this show, with all its boob-girls and sexy catgirls and all, will turn into a full-fledged fujoshi show. Just bear with the "hints", guys - they're nothing close to sticking stuff into each others' holes.

Ohh I judged from the PVs that it would be Neko cooking, because those hands looked girly. XD Heh, that sounds interesting.
(Yeah, that's my point - I don't see why people are getting ticked off by that random blush scene. I mean, it's pretty natural for Shiro to be impressed with all of those weird things happening all of a sudden, right? And the umbrella thing didn't even look romantic, and Neko was also there.)

My mind was full of woof with the first episode of K and eventually spiraled down hill as the show continued. It was like a shounen made for females and putting forth the effort into meaningless things, not only was the story inaccurate the only redeeming quality of the anime was looking at a goth lolita stroll in a manner of her own beliefs with a group of mishaps.
You have your pretty boy cops in which most of them seemed to be highered for their looks and noting else for them. The power or even the thought of chasing down Yashiro was pretty poor since they're under the impression he may have some other kind of psychotic personality. Lacking dialogue and pseudo yaoi innuendos. It's like most of the males were there to woof each other at the start of the show. I was done after he wrapped his arms around his savior in the alleyway. I think I had 5 minutes to go but I couldn't push myself to finish all of it, sorry to say but I'll be dropping the series. |
