K: Return of Kings

Dec 16, 2018

First some items I need to adress. I'm Dutch to expect some spelling errors, if they are to annoying just message me and I'll fix it.

My opinion may vary from others and this is fine. People are different so there is a good chance that I will not like what you love. Deal with it. I'm not telling you that you should hate it too, I'm telling you why I didn't like it.

I'll try to keep swearing to a minimum but fail utterly on occasion. In general it is the more the anime pisses me off the more I swear so watch out for the low scored ones.

Art: It is....ok? I'll explain in the rant section.

Sound: No real complaints actually, it's pretty ok. Voice actors had nothing much to do and I don't remember any music either. While I don't like the first I approve the second.

Characters: The main character is Shiro, also known as the Eternal King. He is flighty and has a habit of running away from his problems.

Anna is the new Red king but vows to use her powers to protect. In that regard she is unlike any of the previous Red kings that came before her. She is loved by every Red clan member and respected by many of the others.

Reisi is the current Blue king and he is suffering from the fall-out of killing the former Red king. His Sword is breaking up and he struggles to keep it from falling.

Hisui is the Green king and he is desperately trying to steal the tablet that created the Kings and their clans. He views the fight with the other clans as a game, a game he intends to win.

Story. The story continues right from the ens of Missing Kings so watching that movie is a must to make sense of this. Hisui cintinues his efforts to get the tablets and win his game. Meanwhile the other clans try to keep the tablets save and stop Hisui. Meanwhile Shiro has come back with the intent to stop running and ending things with Hisui.

Rant. This is by the same people who made Hand Shakers and in that review I mentioned the constant light glare that the studio put in. Fortunately they are not as prevailent as that anime but it is there. It is still distracting but at least this is reduced so much that it is watchable.

One thing I did like was the colour scheme used in the anime. It would happen that people were talking in a room and one section of the room was one colour and the other side was another colour. Of course there was nothing there to explain the colour but for once I didn't mind.

As for the story....it's fine. The story picks up ight after the events in Missing Kings. As every major player gets introduced in that film it is highly recommended that you watch that film first before starting on this. Unfortunately this makes it lose points in my book.

There was one thing that bugged me greatly but that is at the end and contains major spoilers. Spoilers that I do not want to in to.
