If that's the case, then yes, you do need to have seen the side materials to understand it better. However, purely from the show itself, was there anything central to the show's plot that came out of nowhere? The background of characters are not in the scope of the show's issue. Quote:
If such slow, deep, style of presentation does not work for you, no problem sure, but saying it's random just because tons of exposition on them were not presented beforehand is off the mark.

K is pretty easy to understand and pretty straight forward. The interaction between red and blue king, fushimi and yata, red blue clans all are not that deep or complicated relationships in anyway. i enjoy the anime though. it doesn't try to be deep or give any sort of message other than bonds between people. it might seem there is not much explanations like how red and blue king met, were they even friends for long etc. but those kinds of things look like they will dwell on in manga or novel or side stories.
they only got 13 episodes, the main characters are kuroh-shiro and neko who have to resolve the red and blue and colorless dispute. |

I saw an interesting theory on tumblr where someone was looking at the scene with the colorless king (erm, where Kukuri is standing in a tree and suddenly has a multiway conversation with themself) and noticed that the filter over the scene changed slightly each time someone new talked. They thought it might indicate that the colorless king already absorbed the green and black kings, I disagree but thought it was interesting enough to mention.
I've also got a small theory, what if the colorless king isn't, well, the colorless king? Whenever we've seen them floating around they look more like a fox spirit than anything else and the show has shown that you can have animals that are strains (the horse from the Red manga, Neko) so I'm wondering if he might just be a really powerful strain that's out to mess with everyone. Hmm, this might be why I've seen so many people say "this show is confusing and didn't foreshadow anything!" and people who go "this show had a ton of foreshadowing!", it's almost all visual foreshadowing. Most of the hints people had that Shiro was the silver king came from a few scenes where he did something, there was a cut to another angle where all the viewer could see was a silver light, it's a show that makes use of it's visual component. That's why I thought the theory from tumblr was interesting, it relies both on auditory (the changes in mannerisms and voice between, erm, voices) and visual (with slightly changing the color of the scene) cues which is what, as someone said earlier, a mystery does.

i am pretty disappointed with mikoto's character. people seem to make him to be some sort of badass but really he was just a ass what he did to his clan and his friend munakata. seriously shiro had to die and then munakata had to stab him even though he wanted to try and save suoh.
hopefully the next season or ova or whatever focuses on other colors and not reds. hoping for green and black reveal. |

Ep 13~
Spoiler for ep 13:
Aaand sequel! Cool, I guess? I wonder how they'll write themselves out of what happened in this ep. Altogether, K was a very enjoyable show, much better than I expected, with enough heart, self-awareness and humor to be more than a cookie-cutter eyecandy galore. I cautiously look forward to the sequel. Until then, Neko - I'll miss you the most! ;__; ) |
