This is definitely my favorite of the season, and while there was a lot of build up these first few episodes (especially ep.2) I'm still excited to see where this goes. I am wondering what the deal is with the green king, is he paralyzed? It looked like he was wearing restraints for whatever reason.

And of course the animation is just amazing.

This season is of to a great start, apart from the fact they seem to be using Seri Awashima as nothing more than fanservice.

In project K there is:
1) silver King
2) gold King
3) red King
4) blue King
5) green King
6) colorless King
7) ???

I can't recall who the 7th King was? Confused

Maybe my memory is a little fuzzy, but I don't remember her really ever being there for more than that. A rather large part of the cast are essentially just pretty looking decorations. I don't really think that is a problem though because there are just too many to actually do things with most of them.

I'm recording the fight scenes' soundtrack for when I need something to put me to sleep. It's the same elevator music whether they're eating breakfast, having a chat in the bar or running around clashing swords. Its pulse never quickens regardless of what's happening onscreen, so neither does mine.

While I love almost everything about the K, there's one thing about this season that really grinds my gears: the jiggling boobs.

It's like watching High School of the Dead all over again. I can't focus on the action scene if tits and ass go flying across the screen.

This season? I'm pretty sure T&A has been in the series from the start. I mean most of the cast are guys so it isn't like it was in all the fights, but this season isn't really changing it up by using female characters for that.

It's been confirmed Mikoto is alive! Laughing Very Happy Smile
Many people I know that are watching this series (including myself) are only interested in it because of him.

i know the fact that Mikoto is still alive was revealed a while ago but I'm still excited. This season is probably going to beat the first season given that there is a major antagonist this time around, it would be interesting to see how the events unfold. So I'm going to have high expectations for this season!

They haven't told us yet. We only learned about Green during the movie.

The green clan was mentioned briefly in the first season. They also appeared in some of the manga and novels before the movie.

Last clan is probably black or purple, judging from the scene with the spices in the first season.

Would like to see a source on this, as everything iin the animated content speaks to the contrary.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure the movie confirmed he was dead.

Even if it's true, that should've been spoiler tagged, since it hasn't been confirmed in-series.

All of this seems to have to do with control of the Slates, though exactly who they are and why they are so important has yet to be clearly-defined.


Well, the first season and the movie showed that the slates are what creates the kings, ie they're the whole reason this series exists. That seems like enough information to me at this point.

Ridiculous that we are a season, movie and a third of the way through the second season into the series and Shiro still hasn't had a major fight yet.

I understand that he has intelligence and eternal youth, but surely he must be quite strong as well, just based off what we have seen from the other kings.
