This is my very first review, so please excuse me. I'll try to keep this short as much as possible and with little to none spoilers.

STORY : 7
Basically, K all starts with finding the person involved in the murder of a clan member. And all the members of this clan hunts down Isana Yashiro, who is said to be the murderer. Not very original, yes. We all know the story of revenge for family and friends. ( nakama, remember ? lol. ) But even though it may be like this, there are still unique concepts that can only be found in K. I don't about ... the others but the supernatural concept of "kings" is new for me here. Also, there are certain parts that may be confusing since it kinda progresses in some sort of a time hop way and shows some flashbacks. But, it all gets clear as the story goes on and all these "sub-plots" will later be connected.

ART : 10
Honestly, the reason that I've watched K in the first place is because of its art and I wasn't disappointed. From the very first episode, i have been mesmerized by its art and animation. Personally, I love it when it sorts of zooms in and out and there's some sort of angles effect. It's as if there's an actual camera following the characters. Not to mention the characters, all of them are very well drawn. ( bishies !! * w * ) Even side characters such as the Scepter 4 and Homra members weren't neglected when it comes to their apperances. And unlike other anime that I've seen, K maintains the same quality even during fight scenes. The characters' movements are fluid and the details aren't forgotten.

SOUND : 8
I liked the soundtracks specially the ending song, "Tsumetai Heya, Hitori". But sometimes, i just find myself laughing because even if there's this fight-to-death sort of scenario, the ost will always be this solemn, dramatic background music. Don't get me wrong, the osts are beautiful but I think they could work out the timing and appropriateness.

With regards to the seiyuus, hands-down. No problems there. The cast includes the best seiyuus and each are appropriate to their respective characters.

CHARACTER : 9
For me, its great that every character have their own personality and that you just can't hate anyone (well maybe except with the Colorless King.) Characters who make a great impact such as Kuroh, Misaki and Saruhiko in the story were dedicated with a sub-plot that mainly shows each of their past and shows its impact to their present self. K is just a 13-episode series and there won't be that much time to develop each and every character like what the others are looking for.

ENJOYMENT : 9
For me, K is an amazing series. I liked stories with plot twists, and this gave it to me. The only flaw I guess is the ending of some fights were kinda not what I have pictured. But all in all, I've enjoyed every episode.

OVERALL : 9
I wrote this review by the time I've finished re-watching it (because there's a second season.) And despite the fact that this is already the second time I've seen it, I still enjoyed it. That fact itself, already shows that its an amazing anime and worth watching.

Did I say I'll keep this short ? Well maybe not. Thank you for reading.
