So, this is a sequel to the anime called 'K' aka 'K- project'. Was it good? Well hell yeah! It improved on the anime's flaws and went 20% everywhere... We got a new main antagonist called 'JUNGLE' and there leader the Green King and an assassin going by the name 'Mishakuji Yukari'. This anime is amazing, it doubles up the plot from the orignal anime and the art in this anime movie is amazing!!! But does it stand up today, let us find out.... Let me give you some background on the first anime though... you know so we don't get confused.

K- K (also called K Project) is a 2012 anime series animated by the studio GoHands and directed by Shingo Suzuki, who also serves as character designer for the series. It began airing on MBS on October 5, 2012. The anime has been licensed by Viz Media in North America and by Madman Entertainment in Australia. Yashiro Isana has lived a relatively ordinary, simple life. He lives in the technologically advanced Shizume City and attends Ashinaka High School, a notable high school that is located on an island just outside the areas. Yashiro is friendly with everyone. Nothing seems wrong about him, except perhaps his habit of forgetting where his school-issued PDA is. However, nothing normal has been happening since the recent murder of Tatara Totsuka, prominent member of the infamous HOMRA. No one knows who exactly killed him but the man responsible bears an uncanny, identical appearance to Yashiro. Seeking vengeance, the Red Clansmen of HOMRA set out to get Yashiro and kill him. Everyone suspects that Yashiro is the murderer.

A sequel anime project was announced on the official Twitter account of the series. The new project is scheduled for fall 2015.

The Movie Story- Ever since the School Island Incident, in which the four Kings were involved, the Silver Clansman, Kuroh Yatogami and Neko were on their search for their master Shiro. Unable to find any leads to Shiro, the two were in a gloomy mood until they ran into Homura members, Rikio Kamamoto and Anna Kushima, who were apparently being chased by someone...

The terrorist group going by the name 'JUNGLE' kidnapped Anna (the vassal of the Red King) in order to locate Adolf K. Weismann aka Yashiro, meanwhile Mishakuji Yukari the older brother of Kuro returns and is later found out that he is working for 'JUNGLE'.... Yata loathes at HOMRA's disbanding after losing their leader/King until the call to action to save Anna, there most of the members Yata and his closest contacts go to find Anna, leading to danger of course.... and the Green Kings henchmen. Kuro and Neko ally with the Blue King and HOMORA to fight 'JUNGLE' and take out the Green King....

It works out, Anna becomes the new Red King and HOMRA gets there unbound power aura back, there motto being 'no blood, no bone, no ash!' yes that motto is cool. The Green King launches an electrical attack on the new Red King's Sword of Damocles (an indicator of a king's presence) but fails as the Blue King shields the attack, ending the threat, also Anna gets a dream sequence of her former friend/King and a close friend of HOMRA before gaining her new power, so yeah.

It all ends however Anna gives her 'marble' to Kuro as a good luck 'charm', and then Neko and Kuro see Shiro's face, standing in the Himmelreich. He talks to the dying Gold King about destiny and truth, and how he will have to make the world a better place for 'the new dawn'.

In the end credits it shows the (Blue King) Reisi Munakata talk briefly for this actions prevoiusly as he killed the Red King.... now he will the face a new reality for his powers... ass it looks like his Damocles is decaying....slowly. (the first top 2 gifs are Yata the vanguard of HOMRA and he is very awkward around girls.... yes that is a trait he has)

Animation & Sound

The animation and music in the movie is better than the original in my opinion and I think the animation looks glamorous eye candy for the mind, the sounds is also greatly improved, although I watched the dub for the anime, the sub for the movie is fantastic. Fight scenes are amazingly handled, especially the sword play between Yukari and Kuroh, the King's sword also looks wonderful, and the effects and sound are top here.

The Positives

The movie brings closure to the anime ending... it also improves the art and animation of the original and the animation is just brilliant! The antagonist poses a very deadly threat and all open story arcs for the characters are tied up. The anatagonists felt like they really did pose a threat and did I mention that the animation is off the hook! the main lead's whereabouts are also resolved and the SFX for the Kings look BA.

Negatives

I can't really think of anything bad other than the ending was a little rushed, other than that it solved the pacing issues of the original anime. Also the anatgonists were very amazing but the Green King never showed, that was a bit under-whelming, he comes in the form of a parrot as a meduim for him, and the comedy was 'meh' most of the comedy mostly fell to Neko, and a few scenes were Kuro was being funny/creepy, that was all good but... the comedy element was needed in the movie any how, the movie would have been the same without it but alas it was a good run.

Final Rating:

B+. This movie gave clarity to the viewer, improved eveywhere (almost) and the animation and sound was brilliant! The comedy was contrived in some moments but there were good laughs, all is said and done and I highly sugest you check this anime out if your new to anime or a veteran in anime and the anime tv sequel for the film approach close in the fall, so watch out for that. That is it from me. Movie was awesome. Anime should be checked out.

END

side note; my summer holidays approach next week Thursday 16th (unless you are reading this in the future). So I might have more time to do anime blog related stuff in the coming week e.g First Reactions, Top10s etc etc, until then see you later, King of Depravity signing out (not litteraly).
