	K Project Seen: completely Last Updated: Nov 22, 2015	8.50 (very good)	K has a loveable cast, nice worldbuilding, an interesting plot, lovely animation and beautiful colours. A lot of people complain about "boring relationships," which I assume is code for "no romance." Well, I personally found the lack of romance to be a very good thing: it made the female characters in the story much more likeable, since they have important roles in the plot instead of just to be the guys' girlfriends. Another complaint is that there are shounen-ai hints - a puzzling claim. The clansmen and women are devoted to their kings in a slightly servile - but mostly hero-worship-esque - fashion; I don't see anything BL-ish in that. Lack of girl/boy romance + some pretty boys does not a BL anime make. But, as someone mentioned before, this does have a very...odd...start. It isn't actually slow: it's more that the core of the plot is hidden from the viewer, making the very plot-relevant things the characters do during the first 4-6 episodes look like pointless filler. Keep watching, though, because the plot gets pretty clever towards the end. Not many writers have the guts to end their shows as grimly as the first season of K did. The "K - Missing Kings" movie is also a worthy gap-bridger between series 1 and 2. It's a must-watch if the storyline of the two seasons is to flow together smoothly.
