So Neko is more than fanservice. Still just a plot device and not even a character, but at least plot device is better than fanservice.

When Shiro summoned his sword and did that blast, was that real or an illusion by Neko?
It was obviously an illusion. (If you were paying attention.)

Decent episode, but basically we know even less than before only that neko served her purpose.
I probably regret this post by now.

The episode was ok, but was Yashiro going to confess to Kuroh or something? I mean he was blushing and all at the first few seconds. I don't see anything else that would match the expression he has that time xD

They definitely had the space to reveal everything, except they just chose not to, and now there are only 5 episodes left. Not that things can't be entirely wrapped up in 5 episodes, but plot-dragging is becoming way too common in this series.

The last thing I want to see from this series is a rushed ending. Right now it only feels like they're holding onto the tension for buildup. Well, I hope the wait will be worth it.

They were found out by Blue team. lol @ how they get the sword out. Then Neko did the magic again. But the magic is broken by Blue king and recognized that it's Neko's doing.

Blue king vs. Kuro, but Blue king is stronger? Neko used the power to show that Shiro has the power and got Kuro out. Kuro realized that it was Neko made the fact that seems that everyone knows him (so... it's the truth that everyone doesn't know him?)

The truth revealing... It was true about Shiro at the gym, which also the first time meeting Neko and everyone (with her power). And the previous king of no color got him down?

zoze said:
seems like animax cut the 9-minute part.
STOP, seriously...

I'm not sure what you mean but the first 9 mins. was to cooperate with Japan schedule, which aired 9 mins. late today.


oh really?, but they do cut some part. the part where neko hold shiro's hand and the 3 of them escape. and obviously the ending theme.
That's case it's too erotic and the ones who cut find it not good for the health of the people seeing in general. Less you go there and make them change their ways, it won't happen.

Now that being said even the end showed a zoomed closeup of Neko's ass in the spoiler (NSFW)
so it's no surprise they cut that out too along with full naked shots of Neko for the ED.

On top of that during the episode you can see her privates, breasts and ass a lot more than before. No censored blanked out and in plain view.

No way, if they think it's not good for others to see, they won't show it.


That's not Neko. =.= That's the girl from Vivid Red Operation... it's even in the promo, for those who haven't seen it sigh.

This was a really good episode. Shiro is such a great character honestly. (I still kinda wish that his seiyuu was different but it's okay) Neko is so cute. ALL THESE CHARACTERS ARE SO LOVABLE SKLDJFSDF

I don't really like Reishi though :/

That was a really, really good episode. It was filled with the right amount of action, the right amount of explanation, and possibly even the right amount of fanservice. Thank god we find out Neko isn't totally useless (can't say the same for Awashima, sadly. I'd love to see more of her badassness.), and thank god everything else is explained.

It really makes me sad that a lot of people dropped this anime just because it didn't fit the 3-episode rule, when its real potential can be seen in the episodes after that.

Mad props, K-Project. You are definitely NOT style over substance.

Interesting fight, more totally necessary fanservice, and Munakata. Decent episode. Are we making progress?

Shiro is about to make me flip my desk. Kill him, or at least have him do something seriously relevant to the struggling plot here. I would like things to move a little quicker. Six episodes left.

In the manga his sword "Kotoari" is special and is meant for slaying evil kings. He must not find blue king evil.

Props for balancing much needed infodump with action.
Neko's powers explained. It's quite impressive affecting so many in the stadium & takes the power of a king's Sword of Damocles to remove the illusion slowly. Crowd scenes are quite difficult, and the vanishing pedestrian fx quite beautiful.
Shiro's wife was slapped by blue king, so he returns to save him.
Iterested in seeing what can Kuroh slice with the Kotowari sword.
Shiro's a confirmed colorless king, finally. Shiro on the bench is a Neko illusion, but Shiro's white power sphere is real since Reisi had to counteract it. That's an amazing shockwave SFX.
Memory before Neko: real surprise what happened between dancing silver king & shiro.
"Vater unser im Himmelreich"? Silver king playing god thru his music taste?
How does Shiro survive a skyfall onto a gym mat?

Maybe the Silver King wanted to destroy Japan by controlling/using the weakest among the kings (as Munakata said), which is the colorless king.

What is a Weismann level anyway? I think I've heard this from episode 1.

At this point whoever still doesn't recognize "K's" lack of direction or rates it above a 5/10 are just keen to their bias. If you're using a novice rating scale 5 is the maximum, people rating it a 10 are doing so nonsensically.

This is the weird eye candy (nice fight choreography, not neko) show for me this season. The first six eps could have been made tighter, but if you don't take it too seriously, it's a fun anime.

Anyone else watch the Viz subs? They're HORRIBLE x_x This episode had a freaking five line subtitle. Whoever translates the series clearly doesn't know that you're supposed to condense the dialogue to two lines at a time. Too bad I have to rely on the subs to understand what's going on, otherwise I'd watch the raw.

So in this episode, could ANYBODY feel the love? I'm a sucker for the shounen ai here, yes indeed. How Kuroh was actually STALLING to kill the homie Isana. Muy fabuloso, don't you think?

I'm curious to see who that mystery guy was. Most likely he's the key to Isana and the "Colorless King" bit. Perhaps, he framed him?? ;) idk.

The fight scenes in this show are UBER-amazing!!! This episode still left me wondering how much of the illusion on the field was Neko and how much was Shiro. I really don't think Neko did all of the by herself.

Now I'm really curious about what and who Shiro really is! Can't wait for the next episode. However, I have a bad feeling that this is going to have an open ending. We're already halfway through the episodes and still not any closer to any big reveals other than this new white-haired guy that threw Shiro from the air ship.

Wow, I just realized in this episode that Reisi Munakata and Saruhiko Fushimi are two different characters =.=

THIS!

This is my biggest problem with this show, now that the massive inconsistencies that kept occurring over the past few episodes have been explained.


I can't tell who is who without a program, and the cast is far to large and paper thin, not to mention that the world has only been explained in the most rudimentary sense.

There are these color kingdoms. They appear to have a pecking order. The colorless one is the weakest, supposedly. The blue and red seem to not like each other much and are pretty powerful. The kings can implode or something if their power gets out of control?

So, I also have another question regarding Neko:

Why does Neko hate cell phones?
The sound from them or waves may interfere with her powers or ears. Cats have extremely sensible ears last I heard.

I thought it was becuase Shiro would find out that Kukuri doesn't know him if he called her breaking the illusion. But your idea is good too.

It is a nice bit of rationalizing, but no, VioLink is right.


Also, looking at the character list, the guy at the end


LuckyMango said:

My guess is that his power is mostly illusion. Therefore, it is weak, unless the person buys the illusion. Only a guess.

I feel like i could have skipped all episodes in between 1 and 6 and it wouldn't have affected the story line at all.

So we finally get to see what the cat girl does, and while it is important, i feel like it's just random stalling... Random powerful cat? Uh...i'm still curious how such a cat came to existence. Seemed like luck that Shiro came across her.
Now im more curious about Shiro's past though. In the video that started it all he was sadistic and evil, but in that flashback he seemed like the Shiro we all know. His random revelation caught me off guard, but not in a completely good way...it was just out of nowhere.

Isn't she a strain? O_O There was an animal strain in the manga. =D I guess they might talk more about her in the next few eps.

i understand everything a little bit more than I did a few episodes ago, but I find myself tuning out when I watch this anime, can't quite put my finger on it... the fight scenes whilst good visually just aren't that appealing to me, and the story itself seems wishy washy and a bit all over the place, but I do still want to carry on and just hope it can smooth out somewhat

That was such a good episode, I was totally drawn into it. The story doesn't get rushed even for a moment, but in the same time I didn't feel bored for even a moment either - I think that's the pace one anime should aim at.

I just love the OP at this point and the old ED is back which I love too. Ma-a-a-an...

I simply love this anime at this point. Fall 2012 turns out to be great even just because of K.
