That's an odd interpretation of what I said. The question being raised was if the average Japanese person even knew much about that part of American history. I personally don't think they do just like I don't think the average American knows all that much about similar darker parts of Japan's past (or hell, their ongoing relations with Korea). Nothing I wrote had any notion of whether or not either side should 'care'. How you can possibly obtain the idea that I think that the world revolves around me is beyond me. |

I can assure you that I am not a fujoshi. All I see is a catgirl and a marble loli... I'm sure the panty shots and gainaxing of the Blue Brigade chick aren't meant for fujoshi either. Kuro and Shiro do make a fun duo however. |

Have you seen the anime "Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu" with the FFF Inquisition? http://bakatotest.wikia.com/wiki/FFF_Inquisition Likewise while the Japanese history with Korea is less well known. There bad blood with China, The Raping of Nanking is alot more known throughout the world partly because there has been some pretty high profile films about it. |

DRRR was alright, til it turned to crap at the third arc. Is K kind of like the first two...or the third? As for your second question...I love Afro Samurai. :3 That ought to answer it. |

Sweet, I've rather been enjoying K. Neko is probably my favorite cat/girl, too, right up there with Hyper Police's Natsuki Sasahara.

I liked durarara but that is not style over substance atleast not anywhere close to the degree that durarara was. durarara has a carefully unfolding narrative I seriously doubt that is the case with K. |

Having just finished the show I can say that the narrative does have more layers to it than it appears to and there's pretty solid amount of foreshadowing so your wrong on that point. Wouldn't put it at Durarara's level though. |

That's great! I have yet to watch the final episode, And I agree that 1-cour isn't enough.
It's not perfect but I enjoyed it thouroughly.. Haters gonna hate. Stop whining just because it gets a sequel an the anime you like doesn't.

Eh. Why not? As much as I make fun of it, K really isn't "horrible". But, it does have bad writing. Heck, if Viz released on DVD, I might even buy it. Dear fujoshi haters, A. there are three (well, five if you count Kukuri & the class president) females in the series so it''s not just guys. B. the show was aimed at everyone; it just so happens that there is plenty of BL material for doujinshi & fan art (then again, any show with more than two guys will have a BL fandom; even Kyoto Ani's Hyouka has decent BL shipping) If more anime means I can possibly get a Kuroh or Shiro figma, then bring it on.

I've noticed that's a big problem with a lot of light novel writers; they just don't think things through enough. It's REALLY frustrating because there is obviously some potential in a lot of light novels, but I get the feeling that they just don't have good enough editors to work with to help them work things through with their stories. I've only watched 3 episodes of K, albeit, but dear BUDDHA was it a mess. They just don't take a moment to slow down and explain anything. That opening SERIOUSLY needed work. |

"Not the guys with the sheets." Like Medaka Box a few seasons back, worst anime of the season gets a sequel. Oh, Japan. And since Sword Art Online is almost definitely getting a sequel, that would make three seasons in a row where the worst show gets a sequel. |

Not gonna rant about fujoshi haters because it's known that K was meant to appeal to both demographics and every series with at least 2 male characters will have fujoshis like it or not.
But K being shallow or not having a decent plot is really false if you've seen the whole series and have paid attention to the visual hints spoiler[like the poster of the Isana temple (Isana Yashiro in Japanese) which already gave away that Shiro made up his name in the first episode]. Remember that K is not only an anime it has two ongoing mangas, K: Memory of Red which is selling pretty good, especially since it's set before Totsuka was killed and focuses on the Homra characters who are always on the background in the anime and K: Stray Dog story which is just Yatogami Kuroh's adventures before the anime; and two novels which were sold out before they were even released, especially K: Red side. All this material aside from the anime has sell very well and helps you to understand more things, although K: Blue side had some part of its plot still unsolved, probably to sell more novels in the future or for this second season. |

I am going to gently disagree with those saying it is "Style over substance" Sure it isn't the DEEP anime some of us would prefer; but I enjoyed trying to figure this series out and found it a lot of fun to talk and think about.
I also enjoyed the subtly played character interactions, which I thought were very well done. The humor was right on the money, and it was quite the treat for the eyes, with the exception of a few face-palm inducing in between scenes. All in all I think it did what it set put to do; produce an interesting and sometimes amazing series with characters that are easy to become attached to (and by much merchandise of). |
