People hating on K makes Neko cry.
Why would you do such a thing.

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. |
And have you watched that sequel? They made it because they knew what would happen in the manga. Medaka Box Abnormal is one of the best animes of the season, after JoJo and along with Shinsekai Yori. It's really [expletive] awesome. And people say the real part where the manga gets at it's best hasn't even started yet

Indeed I have. It is better than the first season (still completely ridiculous, though), but the first season was still the worst of its time.

Cried my heart out during the last episode lol! OMG I'm soooo excited because I really want to see more between that skateboarder guy and his friend who is in the army or whatever. I really want them to be friends again like they were in that flashback!

It did? Huh, the Oricon figures were very disappointing, I thought.

Good lord. It's 50/50 here.
Since I'm a cynic more often than not, I suppose this is a series I should avoid. There's this interesting pattern though; all the people saying you should watch K, they have this argument that boils down to this in a nutshell: "If bad writing, no substance, general mediocreness, and just not being that good overall don't bother you, then it's a great show!"
Seriously. Not the world's best endorsement. If the show sucks, and you know as much, what the hell's the point?

First volume ended up selling over 7K and the novels and merchandise sold well. Not all that surprising they greenlit a sequel.
@Precision Crab
To be completely fair, Half the people complaining about the show admitted they dropped it early on. The show got better later down the line. Still not a mindblowingly amazing show but decent enough and it certainly has enough potential for more stories in its universe

Different shows aim to emphasize different things. K is a bit different than most shows in where it focuses its efforts, so it's reasonable for people to warn folks that it isn't "conventionally good." Still, some people enjoy the stuff that the show does focus on, so they like watching it. I don't see any reason for you to claim that folks are watching something they know sucks.

YES! But you know less talking more fighting I hope. Yeah KK would be pretty nice but only if it got a 3rd season. I mean I can just imagine how the all glorious american press would react. It would be connected to the WW2 and all that. Oh that would be hilarious.

the only reason i didn't drop it after my 3 trial eps was that it was ONLY 13 eps long. ><
the writing is a hot mess. most of it doesn't make sense and when they do try and explain things, it's so far down the line that i just don't CARE. it's pretty and has great voice acting. that's all i see going for it.
it's the disappointment level that Togainu no Chi gave me :/ so much wasted potential

Hey who cares about the plot when the cleaning robots have a recognizable voice actor.

Honestly that's the one complaint against the show I've never really gotten. I can understand if you think they didn't explain a lot (and you do have to connect the dots for some of it) but it's honestly not that hard to follow and most of the events are foreshadowed enough in advance that it makes sense within the context of the show. Heck even half the stuff they didn't fully explain wasn't all that hard to piece together.
The show does have problems though(the biggest being having way too many characters for a 13 episode show to have a fully fleshed out cast) though I think if the show had been marketed as a mystery series(which is quite obviously what it actually is) instead of whatever...that marketing campaign was it could have avoided some of the issues with initial reactions but eh. Ultimently the show isn't as bad as it'll probably be remembered as.

Personally I liked this show. I'm glad we haven't seen the last of these guys.

Considering all the episodes titles started with "K", that's not actually a bad idea. They could run through the alphabet like QI.
