I know nothing about K Project. What was it that initially drew you to this series, and what about it has kept you loving it?

And because I'm greedy, is there a scene/ moment that is a particular favorite of yours? (Spoilers don't bother me.)

I hope you lovelies don’t mind, but since these two questions were pretty similar, I did combine them into the one ask! And it’s such a great ask and thank you so much for the chance to fangirl. I am writing this on five hours of sleep, so I just hope it will be coherent and fun for you all to read 😅

Now, K came out wayyyyy back when, just going to front this point with that. It’s more than a decade old, since it first released in 2012. And for 2012, it was doing some really new and novel things for the time, which was something that definitely attracted me to it initially. In terms of the visuals, the camera shots used, the CGI incorporated into it, the level of details and gorgeous fluidity in some of the animation…oh yeah, I was definitely hooked in by that right off the bat. It was an absolutely gorgeous show for its time, though I will admit with all the advances in animation that there are parts of the animation that no longer look as ‘stunning’ compared to newer animation. But at the time, it really was so pretty and I am a sucker for pretty anime, so that was definitely a huge draw for me. Though they arguably didn’t get enough time to explore their story, leading to a few pacing issues, the vast depth of the story they wanted to tell, K’s epic tale of loss, power, and tragedy also really drew me initially to the anime. The characters themselves were dynamic – Yata’s first introduction really pops to mind, as does the shot of Mikoto jumping down to meet the Blues – and they had me interested in them, especially HOMRA, from the beginning. I wanted to watch, I wanted to learn more about them. On top of that, K’s soundtrack is beautiful and really evocative and I loved it. Those are all things that really drew me in the first time I watched the series and made me interested in it.

There’s a lot of reasons I still love it though, that it still captures my fancy and keeps me in its clutches. The thing I love most about K is that it’s obviously a passion project and a work of just pure love from GoRA. It’s so obvious that they really care about the world and characters of K because the anime just wasn’t enough for them. They turned it into a proper multi-media project because they loved their characters, world, and ideas. They took the time they didn’t get in the anime and fleshed out their world-building through the novels, short stories, audio extras, movies, and spin-off manga. They expanded and delved into not only the major characters of the anime, but they spent time creating more elaborate backstories and proper characters for the side characters, the background characters. Hell, they even have novels that give us insight on the previous Red and Blue Clans, despite the fact that those characters have mostly all been dead for years by the time the anime even begins, because they’re important, in a way, for the world being what it is at the time the anime starts. Hell, they love their world and their characters so much that they even created their own AUs for their characters, with Gakuen K, the PoeBacks, and Idol K. It’s so obvious that GoRA really and truly were excited by this world and that they worked so hard on something they obviously loved and were passionate about and as a creative myself, I have such mad respect for that.

I will also admit that a part of my continuing love for K is definitely a nostalgia factor. I really do have such fond memories of the series and the fandom. The fandom, by the way, is another reason I sincerely still adore K. Though it’s not as active as I would love it to be anymore, it’s always been and still is a really welcoming and lovely fandom to be in, with little drama and most fans being really chill and talented people.

Another big reason I love K is that certain characters from it have just made these special places in my heart. I love almost all the characters, but there are certain characters and certain relationships in between the characters that really always get to me and that I carry around in my heart. Eric is definitely among them, as is Bandou, Anna, Seri, and Mikoto. Even Munakata holds a pretty special place for me.

I do have a lot of favourite moments and scenes, both from the mangas, novls, and the anime. The entirety of Lost Small World, which explores Fushimi and Yata’s friendship is spectacular. Yata’s first moment, the introduction really to him, with him on the rooftop? Kind of visually very impactful and stunning, especially before the violence we see right afterwards.

The moment in Season 2 where all four of the Swords of Damocles were in the air? Visually stunning.

The Damocles down at the very end of Season 2? I loved that solution and it seemed the best way to wrap things up. Again, the visuals for it? Pretty damn great.

Eric and Fujishima’s chapter in Memory of Red? Getting to learn Eric’s backstory and get introduced to the greatness of Fujishima? Still one of my favourite chapters of Memory of Red, along with Shouhei and Bandou’s introduction. That moment when Eric goes to stab Totsuka and what happens after? It just always has my whole ass heart.

Every extra moment we get of Totsuka’s in the novels and manga is always so gorgeous and achingly bittersweet, given that he’s a posthumous character all throughout the anime, but such an essential character to the story.

The very first Yata and Fushimi fight on school island is definitely one of those must-see moments for me too and one I get hyped for every time. I really enjoy the friends to enemies trope and how their storyline goes from platonic love to betrayal and regret and hatred and then loops slowly around to acceptance and mending the bonds that used to be there. It’s really a good arc for these two and a great character dynamic.

Though the White Rice Party was never my favourite, I do always get a chuckle out of Kuroh, this seemingly very straightlaced character, carrying around that ridiculous recorder choke full of his adoptive father and previous Master’s words and how he’ll randomly just listen to it and how happy he looks whenever he does. Makes me laugh every time and look at this boy – he actually looks pretty adorable when he does it, haha.

MY GOOD BOY 😭😭😭😭

I SURE CAN I'M SO EXCITED there's so much i want to yap about with this fic but i don't want to be too much about it lmao

I'LL NEVER HATE THE ANIME NO MATTER HOW WILD IT IS BC THEY GIVE ME THINGS LIKE THIS
