| Awesome visuals and animation. Love the camera techniques and sound track. Sometimes i feel there are too much glowing, blinking and light flares going around, but it just increase the level of details of the scene. |

I disagree, I think the way the CGI is used with the scenery is very well done, nothing but praises from me in this aspect. I suppose I can see why you would dislike it, you prefer something with a better base value than having it topped off with extras, which is understandable. I personally prefer this over just plain art, I think the way this series utilizes the CGI goes very nicely with the overall animation quality. Kerozinn said: storywise i cant tell anything sofar. very confusing..and not in a steins;gate way. people compare it to DRRR! already..dont make me laugh lmao! It makes me laugh that you can't compare this to DRRR. As you stated earlier, it's confusing and you can't tell anything from it. This is the kind of atmosphere that DRRR had as well. Something that had no clear idea on what to expect, the story behind many of the occurrences is left in mystery, and it even has it matched in terms of supernatural abilities as well as gang wars. |
| Good visual (DAT SKATEBOARDING SCENE!?), but it needs a plot. |
| Visual's stunning, the animation is so much win, and what words can I use to describe the quality of music? superb? No it's not enough. Although the plots lack of substance but it's just only the first episode, whoever wishes to see a clear plot really need to be patient. Oh well, music, animation are worth watching even if the plot could turn into crap. |

| Those awesome visuals reminded me of guilty crown. Actually, everything reminded me of guilty crown.. |
 |
| That's some visual bomb we got here. Waiting to see if the plot is enjoyable too. |

| Yep, not convinced about this yet so far, it can either be good or disappointing but I think its not that crazy to say in terms of animation and production values it PUTS KYOANI TO SHAME :) :) |
| So, some general impression of, perhaps, one of the most anticipated anime in the fall season. First, it is impossible to ignore its great visual effects (especially those with the skateboarding). Second, the music is definitely fabulous. Third, the number of my favorites seiyuus makes my heart beat faster. So far, pluses are over. Unfortunately, in the first ep there was no character development (it is highly depressing, considering that the show has only 13 episodes). I... I would not like to see any ecchi or shounen-ai there as well. Please, I believe in you, dear producers. I pin my hopes on K-Project, but I can not shake off the memory of Guilty Crown, where animation and music were at the highest level, but the story... Anyway, keep up watching. |
| With Zetsuen another fangirl series with supernatural powers or magic. I was waiting for this season to be good, im dissapointed for the moment. The stories seems to be generic with bishonen all the way and for me that's boring. Moreover the opening was horrific, that was an outrageous opening. Waiting for psycho and robotics notes. |
| If you don't like the plot/story, just simply drop it or keep watching for the visuals/music. That's what motivated me when I watched GC |
| I dropped it. Im in the episode 1 discussion you know... I can't drop a series that i didn't watch. But may be i could wait for three episodes that's my limit for a series, but i think that i'll drop it in the first. |
| I LOL-ed when Yashiro declared Japan is a nice country when he was lying on the school roof. Because in my mind it became Hetalia, if you catch my drift... |
 |
| Did this show have two openings? I felt confused but the second one was really nice. I hope there will be more plot from now on, but anyway I'll continue watching K, even if it is only for the visuals and the soundtrack. |

Something that had no clear idea on what to expect, the story behind many of the occurrences is left in mystery, and it even has it matched in terms of supernatural abilities as well as gang wars. the CGI is not very well done. it stands out. simple as that. it looks bad and just kills the overall look of the show. also its WAY too blinky and shiny. no i cant compare a good anime like DRRR! with a halfassed anime with flashy, shiny and blinky animation with absolute no substance like K. so just try to comprehend it. i will put my hand into fire if K has a decent plot ;) |
| Not fucking bad. Visuals were okay, if they have to cut corners with CGI to give us more, I don't mind. The animation was clean, not as fluid as we'd like but still okay. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Not really sure the direction "K" is going. When i see shiro blushing after the guy hugged him I was a bit turned off... But still need a few more eps to see how this anime turns out. Hopefully we don't get a shitload of Neko's fanservice |
| Indeed the best visuals for this season by far. Gohands really went all out for this. I don't really mind the bishi-ness and BL overtones that much. The setting seems to atleast be interesting set some time in the future and the music is great too. Overall the best first impression of this fall season. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| Liked OST at the beginning,nice characters.Visuals is one of the best for this season. |
 |
| The visuals are to die for, that's for sure. We got quite a lot of information but it's way too early to figure the story out, the soundtrack reminds me a bit of Samurai Champloo and Neko is pretty damn hot. |
| I have a feeling this will be awesome! |
| HOLY CRAP. THIS ANIME. OÖAKDÖLAWEJKETJ. So beautiful yet the story is probably gonna be good. And the music was kickass-awesome too. |
>tfw Youtube can't let me have nice things  |
| First episode had very little plot. Oh well, it is the first episode, it can be overlooked. From what I understand is, that those teams fight each other with supernatural powers. And Isana is wanted because he did something bad. (But judging by his facial experession, perhaps he has some sort of a split personality?) The animation was great as it was expected. Music wasn't that bad either. I'm not a fan of Durarara, so, I am not that glad that it did resembled it. And lastly... I hope this is not another yaoibait. |
| ah this show looks awesome so far! The skateboarder is my favourite character so far. The art is amazing and not forgetting the music. All too good. |

Girls can’t deny the cute Yayoi presences in the spoiler Just to correct you that's not Reisi. It's Kurou. And he's super badass!! And my impressions of the anime I've been waiting for so long to watch. BISHIES!! And super power and battles! That's what I've been wanting to see. Nice first episode and impatiently waiting for more. 10/10 |
  |
| This is gonna sound so redundant, but it really reminded me of Durarara!! And I have yet to finish that series. I loved the first episode! Great animation. I especially liked the BGM. |

Though Fate/Zero's writer did make it, and Fate/Zero is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. God I really hope it does not suck though. |
 |
| The art and the effects are nice but that's as far as the good things go. To be honest i don't know what to make of this show and wasn't bad but i cant call it good either so from that perspective i would call it neutral. A dozy main character guys with superpowers a gang and some special police unit are also things that have been done before and so far i didn't see anything interesting yet. The only thing that stood out was the ghost like cat girls who was flying true the corridors who appeared to be the cat that was with the main character all the time. Other then that this anime failed to get my interest. |

I especially liked the BGM. I think most of us did to, they guy with the yellow hair and smokes a boogie (forgot his name), thought Durarara first when i saw him. Great animation, have high hopes for this show. |
| Great, I wasn't disappointed! ^^ This anime is pure eye candy, amazing :D All of the characters seem pretty interesting but I'm quite confused by what happened in this episode xD But that will be fixed in the next episodes for sure, no problem there :) I'm specially curious about the little girl :P And Neko, ofc xD This anime didn't have much info about it around so I really didn't know what to expect, but I'm glad to notice that this is a good candidate for top anime of the season ^^ |
 |
| The animation...WOW!! The character design...DOUBLE WOW!! The Red King...FRIGGIN' HAWT!!! Next Thursday can't get here fast enough!!! |

| Woah, Shizuo still badass even in a different Anime! Fantastic episode but I want more information about this Anime. Where exactly did this come from? How come you guys already know the characters and stuff? Anyways, Looking forward to the next episode. Hope to know more about the actual story next ep. |
| Yeah I'm surprise how beautiful the art is and the skateboard angles is nice. Nothing much to say tha first episode it just the beginning. The anime got Potential ooking forward for next episode. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| That music, guy on skateboard and stuff... TWEWY, oh how I miss you |
| Art is great but story? Nothing really happened. Plus for the boobs. |
| great art! especially he backgrounds. Sorry but I keep noticing the backgrounds while watching. reminds me of supercell's style of black rock shooter |
| Lots of eyecandy, an earworm OST, and a story that has potential but did absolutely nothing this episode. We'll see. |
| It's still episode 1 and everyone tried to kill the main character ^_^ You're so mysterious Isana, and I love Kuroh already ♥ This show reminded me of when I first watched episode 1 of DRRR. It confused me yet after several episodes I was hooked. Neko is a naked, invicible cat-girl! I expect more of Munakata. He's too plain as of now. Hey, the white-haired old man has similar/same eye-color as Isana |
| I loved the feel of the episode, but only time will tell if this is the next big anime or not. I love how everyone is "hoping it isn't the next" Guilty Crown. That title used to be saved for "Mars of Destruction". |
| "Evidently... There's no such thing as 'meaning' in this world. But that in itself is wonderful... isn't it? Since if there isn't a set meaning, then you can just find one on your own." - Filicia Heideman, So Ra No Wo To |
| So far seems to be style over substance. Even if it stays this way I think I'll keep watching though, those visuals make it hard to resist. |
| not completely sure what is going on, but im obviously not supposed to just yet XD i thought was a pretty awesome episode, i really have quite high hopes for this now hope it doesnt disappoint >.< Held my attention easily the whole way and seems like it is going to be an interesting watch :D |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
