K Project was really ahead of its time when it comes to battle animations. Going back and watching this scene still leaves me in awe with just how damn smooth it is. And the music fits perfectely.
I know right like, “Ok guys, we gotta meet the reds on that landing pad in an hour so make sure your uniforms are on right and don’t forget your knifes Saruhiko and remember not to have a bra on Sari cause people like it better that way despite how bad tactfully it would be to not have one on.” “What about the captain?” “Oh he’s just gonna jump out of a helicopter and land on the pad like a badass and stuff, you know to look cooler in front of the red team.” “Makes sense. Last Saturday, he had stage lights focused on him as he walked in with his power activated and fire works going off in the background.”
Even though the series is long dead by now (RIP) you have no idea how much that statement rings true. If you think it's normal now, knowing there's two Kings going at it, wait until the other 5 (6?) show up. Red Blue Green Gray Yellow Black White Yeah the other 5 No it's actually 6 others, I forgot about the Colorless King
I like how they all seemed to be genuinely having fun. Like they’re all best friends outside of work. Coupled with the ost made this opening beautiful.
I’m 4 years late but I agree. It’s not better than most anime when it comes to plot but I think it comes unrivaled in smooth fighting scenes with soundtracks. Their scenery amazing too
Christian Lacoste yea tbh I still haven’t finished return of Kings because I feel like it got extremely boring. Everyone playing like they’re friends and there isn’t really much killing. For a mafia anime I thought there would be a lot more killing
Ben Akinnusi step 1 Don’t watch it Tbh season 1 was decent movie was decent season 2 is garbage Season 1 is decent but writing is terrible, nothing happens for 3 episodes, no one kills each other it’s all like they’re friends when it’s a mafia
I feel like that because Seri is the only real woman throughout this entire anime they just compiled like six people worth of fanservice and just set it all onto her. Like damn.
'K' is so aesthetically pleasing because with an interesting plot & story unlike most anime is exactly why I love it. Because bruh, you can tell just from this opening fight scene, the visuals are OUT OF THIS WORLD & the amount of detail they put along with the music is so 👌. Like I don't get how this anime is so underrated.
8 years and K was still ahead of its time. This is one of the best openings iv ever seen in an Anime. From the gorgeous art work to the incredible music. I was so disappointed when it ended but i was glad they didnt try to milk the hell out of the story ruining it. I put the K OST on sometimes when im doing work the music is just so good.
This anime had amazing animation, music, voice acting, plot, characters and overall feel. I watched it years ago and I'm still mad it isn't more popular
Such an underrated anime. I still can't believe it came out so long ago but only found it in recent years. I am not over K Project and to this day I crave more of it and wish we got to see even more of King and Totsuka's friendship.
I watched K roughly a year ago at this point, the OST and the animation of some of the battles lives rent free in my head. Easily one of most slept on animes 🔥
Every time I watch K, it never truly feels like HOMRA and Scepter 4 are ever really at odds with each other. Yeah, they’re working against each other yet it mostly comes down to methodology. Case and point, they’re patiently waiting for Reisi to show up, and despite the back and forth banter, none of them ever seem truly intent on killing each other despite every chance to. I know that’s kinda the point, but when you apply that to the show itself, you start to see it more and more. Homra and Scepter 4 aren’t enemies, their methods simply clash. When hunting down Shiro, Scepter 4 wants to bring him into custody, Homra wants him to be burned on the spot. Throughout that conflict, we see them fight yet it’s never malicious against each other, merely an understanding that they can’t be allowed to go unchecked without causing even worse problems. Mikoto proved that when he willingly accepted the sword through his chest after zeroing Shiro-he had a goal he aimed to complete, once it was done, he let Reisi solve the incoming conundrum because he had total faith in his fellow king. It’s not even like Homra were hunting Reisi, either! They all understood that it was assisted suicide because Mikoto’s Sword of Damocles was about to cause massive problems for everyone, and they accepted it. They’d been hunting Shiro because, far as they could tell, he killed Tatara in cold blood. While I’m definitely treading water, it’s simply a detail I love about K more than its animation (which is altogether ahead of its time): the factions never feel malicious towards each other, merely operating under different methods, which pushes everyone to try and understand the other clans’ mentality so as to help without hurting anyone else. Homra’s kept in check by Scepter 4, not because they *need* to be, but simply because their methods are wildly emotional and a lil delaying the inevitable never hurts when it comes to getting a read on what the fuck’s happening. When Shiro realized how bad things were getting, being clued in on how much this meant to everyone, he understood and took the L with full knowledge that it’d work out because he understood his fellow kings and the clans thereof. Tis beautiful, no?
This is probably one of my favorite openings to in anime in a long time , it's a lot on the first couple of minutes but if you're a real fan you'll understand how loving this scene is because it's like they hate each other but like toskua says its like dancing and having a convo it's actually quite beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ or maybe they're just fighting lol but I'd like to think it's more 😁
Still the most captivating opening to an anime I've ever seen. Nothing has ever made hooked me harder than the first episode of this anime. Will always be a favorite in my book.
K Project has to be the most unapologetic example of an anime that's just "beautiful people punching each other." Not saying that's a bad thing. I admire it because of that.
oh *cries* i love this anime so much it hurts to move on. Second season was the best, with the awesome soundtrack and adorable Anna being the new red king, holy crap i love this anime way too much with the hot guys... Ugh
I can definitely agree 100%. The music playing throughout there fight is just so perfect and amazing. I can’t stress his much I loved their fight sequence and well just everything about this series.
Yeah it's not very popular surprisingly....you would think that with its God level animation that beats fate/stay night unlimited blade works and one punch man it would be more popular
I watched this awhile ago when I was first getting into anime(I've been watching anime for like at most 4 years probably(I'm 12), and everytime this anime is mentioned I get very happy and nostalgic lmao. I rlly love this one and rn I'm going to rewatch it.
Oh? I swear i searched this opening scene up around 2016 after i finished watching it cause of the ost. There was nothing. Its weird cause it says oct 2015. Man nostalgia is kicking in
Between the powers and the way everyone's dressed this is how I picture a battle between chaotically neutral and lawfully good/neutral would look like.
I will never understand how Seri even fought in that uniform to begin with when her ass is always hanging out lol. I wish they gave her a real fight instead of using her for fan service
?? im pretty sure the soundtrack is out, the anime ended a while ago.. i wasnt able to find anything on google so im not sure they even released an cd for the soundtrack
this show is so amazing, definitely needs more love! The soundtrack and animation are so beautiful and in synch (And me being the izuseri I am, really liked the fight but the fanservice is a bit much ;-; Like I don't even think it was this bad in the movie...)
what are you guys crazy. she looked beautiful i thought it was well done. The rip on the panties. Such attention to detail. beautiful art. beautiful women beautiful music. perfect
+Catlin Herd don't worry, that's not what I meant. I just thought it'd be nice if there was at least one scene that didn't emphasize her 'package' so much. I really do love the details and I love Awashima (she's my favorite actually..)
I don't hate it because it isn't totally out of place. That dude totally likes her so if given the chance to cut open her outfit why not? XD plus it really shows her character when she continues fighting regardless
Imagine if Reisi didn't land on the building when he fell from the sky😳 Anyway the show needs more lovee😫❤and I live for kusinagi and seri's relationship
2019 normal 20/20 no matter how many times I see this it is beautiful and great music there aren't many anime come close to this story sucks but everything else is fantastic
I like how we get to see the other clan members more than in the first season and the movie. it will be interesting to have more characters be important

To this day it still has better battle animations
it looks and sounds great but I wouldn't call it ahead of its time regarding animation when the Fate Zero and UWB came out around the same time
Bugs Bunny: Am I a joke to you?
So glad someone vocalized this
I feel like this is a normal Saturday night for them
What a great Saturday night!
I know right like,

Yeah the other 5
No it's actually 6 others, I forgot about the Colorless King
Haha fr 😂
I like how they all seemed to be genuinely having fun. Like they’re all best friends outside of work. Coupled with the ost made this opening beautiful.
this anime needs more Love the music and art style alone are the reason i watch it
why do you think people call it the K Project
me too
StarSketcher yup
Same but I love the colors also, how it’s blue and sometimes red. It’s amazing!
@@yamiblade because that's the name of it lmfao
this show has some of the most smoothest music in anime
I agree. The soundtrack has a different feeling to it imo.

Ive been wanting to start K for so long ive been putting it off
Ben Akinnusi step 1
Don’t watch it
Tbh season 1 was decent movie was decent season 2 is garbage
Season 1 is decent but writing is terrible, nothing happens for 3 episodes, no one kills each other it’s all like they’re friends when it’s a mafia
7 years.... still watching this scene... it still feels like a normal weekend for them to brawl out lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
The surprised sound Seri makes when Munakata landed in front of her was cute. Really cute.
+ShadowDragoon09, yea plus coming from a tough girl like her makes it even better
I agree me dude
I think she came. That's why LOL
I freakin LOVE the relationship the Red and Blue clans share!
1:16 - "Your actions are wild and chaotic as usual." COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DROPPED FROM THE SKY.
Gotta love Fushimi's knife skills at 1:33 here.
lol, nice
That's not Shirou, that's Totsuka, the guy who died triggering the events of season 1
N cM I just realized it’s totsuka thanks.
It’s totsuka tho. And not knwoing that is a sin to one of the kindest dude in this series
@@ncm2738 People die when they are killed?
I feel like that because Seri is the only real woman throughout this entire anime they just compiled like six people worth of fanservice and just set it all onto her.
Like damn.
What about neko?
Shiro the Eternal Silver King “real” woman.
Would have been dope if homes had some street chick
It's fair that way. This anime is full of fan-service for females.
@@tubblestop414 hmmm? How?
If you look closely, you can see bits and pieces of production staffs who were ripped to shreds making such good animation

NO BLOOD! NO BONE! NO ASH!
NO FLOOD! NO PHONE! NO CASH!!!
more like no ass
more like alot of ass

More like she literally has like no ass

This was for the movie, which was AWESOME.

This anime is extremely visually and aurally appealing
I just love the visuals its just top tier animation
this anime really teaches u something about brotherhood and friendship
clearly about brotherhood since they made seri and sexualised object rather than including her as a normal human being in their brotherhood
I watched K roughly a year ago at this point, the OST and the animation of some of the battles lives rent free in my head. Easily one of most slept on animes 🔥
It has to be one of the most slept on animes of all time
Everyone has to love it when fushimi draws his sword and says ready and also whenever he says misaki
"You're actions are wild and chaotic as usual"
Says the man who just jumped out of a helicopter
The irony is lost on this man
To this day, this is still one of the best fight scenes in all of anime.
Every time I watch K, it never truly feels like HOMRA and Scepter 4 are ever really at odds with each other. Yeah, they’re working against each other yet it mostly comes down to methodology.

also, the choreography in this scene alone is a masterpiece

nicoyahips47 it's a masterpiece ❤️😌 it's truly loving because in the end they came together to save the world 🙂 RIP mikoto no BLOOD NO BONE NO ASH
During this season I felt as though the blue king was having a sort of mental breakdown
He was tbh the burden of killing a king was catching up to him
@@JxySzn not to mention taking care of the slates
It's been too long since i watch this and still this fight animation was pure gold
One Punch Man: We have the best fight scenes
K Project: Hold my Sword of Damocles
I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT!!!??😂😂🤣🤣
So sick because the fight is exactly from the opening of season 1 if you recognize some parts
IKR there was a part with kuroh using his colorless king power but they never extended it like this ;-;
Still the most captivating opening to an anime I've ever seen. Nothing has ever made hooked me harder than the first episode of this anime. Will always be a favorite in my book.
Who's watching 2024?
Me😭
Masterpiece.
Sup
Me
I watch this every couple of months. The OST is goated
I really wish they gave the side characters more screen time and more of a story, they look so interesting!
+UGENESIS4EVA Have you heard about the mangas? K Memory of Red focuses on Homra's side characters and Days of Blue focuses on the Scepter 4's.
+SerenityofLilac THANK YOU, now this just needs to be an anime.
Yes, the various mangas are good for that! There's also novels.
UGENESIS4EVA Some of them will be animated in the upcoming project K Seven Stories actually!!
K Project has to be the most unapologetic example of an anime that's just "beautiful people punching each other." Not saying that's a bad thing. I admire it because of that.
I just love the art style, the colors and the animation of this anime, I wish more were like this
*Reisi misses the building*
CRAP I DIDN'T THINK THIS THROOOOOUUUUUGH!
**Kuroh watches Reisi splat onto the ground** Kuroh: I'm fabulous. (I don't know why)
cats are wow haha *bitch slaps kuroh* ...in your dreams 😂😂
this was one the most beautiful freaking anime i have ever seen
that was an absurd amount of fanservice from one character
oh *cries* i love this anime so much it hurts to move on. Second season was the best, with the awesome soundtrack and adorable Anna being the new red king, holy crap i love this anime way too much with the hot guys... Ugh
The most underrated anime of all time 😭 Just LOOK at the animation!! ❤️
True
My favorite part will always be Saruhiko VS Mikasi
I can definitely agree 100%. The music playing throughout there fight is just so perfect and amazing. I can’t stress his much I loved their fight sequence and well just everything about this series.
Lovers divided
It is arguably the best anime even now in terms of Graphics, Art, Animation, colors.
5:02 I'm most pleased this is the most replayed part.
I kinda like the dub of this more cause it sounds like a friendly day. Plus the music just makes it sounds happy and fun
Ever notice how devilishly excited they are when fighting?
I hate that Mikoto died. It hurt a lot, and poor Anna
Inori
UGHHH SPOILER
@@onixreyesalvarado6091 It's the second season. What did you expect? Mikoto died in the first one
Inori 😥😢🥺🥺 omg i cried and cried
@@onixreyesalvarado6091 if that's a spoiler, then watching this scene is an even bigger spoiler.
Dude spoiler
Such a Gem! One of my favorite anime of all time.
i honestly still cant stop watching this
The feels.. Them memories.. ;-;
This anime basically is what I imagine old school(PSP era and older) JRPG games is like,
From music to fight scene to the aesthetics everything
Every time I ask someone have you seen K its always the same (no never hear it) And I'm like hooooooow?????????
Yeah it's not very popular surprisingly....you would think that with its God level animation that beats fate/stay night unlimited blade works and one punch man it would be more popular
+steven acorn lol right
Nah one punch animation is amazing
Steven Acorn It doesn't beat Fate in any way lmaooo. Stop
Armond Priest
Its very underrated

Uhh 12 is a bit young to be watching stuff like this.
4:46 one of the most coolest things a character has ever done
The animators fucking goated for these angles
This scene is so beautiful
Oh? I swear i searched this opening scene up around 2016 after i finished watching it cause of the ost. There was nothing. Its weird cause it says oct 2015. Man nostalgia is kicking in
This fucking sound track I NEEED IT

+Kitty Larson the soundtrack comes out next Wednesday
+Free! Ships Everywhere I've downloaded the soundtrack
+Trash Can a website but the bad news is that website ain't free anymore to download the whole soundtrack ... good thing I downloaded it sooner
What's the name of the website?
3:34 this part itches my brain its so cool
Watching this makes me want to rewatch the whole anime again. Both seasons plus that dang movie.
One of the greatest anime scenes period.. The part with the car, man them boys animated the fuck out of thus and the music is so fucking good. 👍
Between the powers and the way everyone's dressed this is how I picture a battle between chaotically neutral and lawfully good/neutral would look like.
This anime has some of the best music I’ve ever heard in anime!
Ah nostalgia 🥹✨
The music is everything in this anime
2:00 the pun i resisted. true anime 'fans' will catch my drift.
there is something pleaseing about the shine and colour grading man of this show since S1
I will never understand how Seri even fought in that uniform to begin with when her ass is always hanging out lol. I wish they gave her a real fight instead of using her for fan service
Yeah, but She's hot
epic music + epic fight = 👌
so excited for when the ost comes out
Do you know when the soundtrack come out???
+batman91500 it's out already :>
Clear Um Brella No it's not. If so where is Iwafuna's theme song fighting the blue king?
?? im pretty sure the soundtrack is out, the anime ended a while ago.. i wasnt able to find anything on google so im not sure they even released an cd for the soundtrack
Clear Um Brella All I know is that not all of the soundtrack is released yet for this anime. Even though the second season is already over.
I need GoHands to do a Tekken or a Soul Calibur anime.
Absolutely beautiful
can I just say this is one of the best fight scenes in the show/movie
This story is perfect for a live action movie. Just imagine the scope for this.
Kings of Destiny : The Rise
이 영상을 수십번이고 봤지만 정말 K는 멎지고 화려하며 좋은 분위기에 애니메이션 인것같습니다

So cute💙💙💙
How is this show from 2012 and has better animation than most anime out rn

Tatara was there just for moral support 😂
There fighting styles are beautiful

I love the music they use in this series. It's such beautiful jazz
Omg. Why isnt this on netflix yet.
Imagine if Reisi didn't land on the building when he fell from the sky😳
Anyway the show needs more lovee😫❤and I live for kusinagi and seri's relationship
Why is the fightscene so badass even tho its old

2019 normal 20/20 no matter how many times I see this it is beautiful and great music there aren't many anime come close to this story sucks but everything else is fantastic
I like how we get to see the other clan members more than in the first season and the movie. it will be interesting to have more characters be important
chillest fight music.
4:10 the instrumental sheesh it’s so dope wonder what it is
