Fun fact is that I didn't actually watch this in the order you're supposed to because first you're supposed to watch K and then this movie and then K: Return of Kings. I just dived right into the second season because I didn't do enough research. Honestly though I wouldn't say that it's necessary to watch this movie in order to watch K: Return of Kings. They do a great introduction as always, so the only reason you'd need to watch it in order would be because you're a perfectionist or something. Otherwise watch at your own leisure whatever in whatever order. It's not like Fate/Stay Night where you have to watch it in a certain order or Star Wars where you can watch it chronologically or by production date or whatever.
{Spoilers}
I love the entire universe of K. I'm simply in love. Just visually the coloring that's added to so many of the scenes just adds this pop of wow that it wouldn't otherwise have. I'm all for a pop of color, but the melding of the colors that didn't scream something tacky like "Rainbow!" but instead something more harmonious because of the dark muted tones or light blending it together made it beautiful.
With the introduction of JUNGLE that's what I realized I missed because in season 2 it's like wow where'd this clan come from? All of the clans have their different dynamics. Like HOMRA is all about this gang-like mafia style (is that repetitive? Not sure). I mean their slogan "No blood. No bone. No ash." really says everything it needs to. They're intensely loyal and treat each other like family. Of course it's not as intimate as the Silver Clan which consists of 2 vassals and their King. That bond is tighter and seems more miscellaneous in a nice kitsch sort of way. And SCEPTER 2 is the actual coolest. Every time they unsheathe their swords for battle or when they're saluting someone it's just such an impact. It's a more business-like relationship between the members of the Blue Clan, but they all respect one another. Plus their section of the city is all blue which give such jivin' vibes. And then JUNGLE's dynamic is so different. It's not able building each other up per say, but more about building yourself up in a competitive setting. That's what makes it all the more unsettling.
This whole piece was very transitional. It was the search for Shiro for the Silver Clan and Shiro's decision to stop running away. It was the rise of the new Red King (Go Anna!) and the recollection of the Red Clan. It was the rising threat of the Green Clan and the introduction of its members. It was the rise in power and responsibility for the Blue King with the Gold King MIA aka dying.
I just have to add it in here that this movie is a definite advancement in Fushimi and Yata. Just had to say that because at the end when the Red and Blue Kings are talking and Yata's trying to say thanks to Fushimi for the intel his blush was so cute and if you try to deny it I will show you that clip on repeat.
Overall if you're a fan of K and everything about K you must've already watched this. If you're not so sure about the whole K fantasy world then just give it a chance. It's my favorite fantasy anime. It's the absolute best. There's so much loyalty, power, and just interrelations between characters that really make this a must-watch!!!!
This made me sad because it was such a blast to the past and now Mikoto's gone forever
He's such an angsty boy smh but he's so pure too
Isn't this color just great? Yata's so cool. I love Yata.
Look at Kuroh with those sparkles though! Please validate his feelings
Ok 1. I love this translation and 2. People say Neko is just fanservice but she's actually really helpful so shush
CASUALLY fighting on the side of the building like how is this occurring?
yES
This made me happy thinking about these two swords side by side again even though it's not Mikoto's sword anymore, it's Anna's, but still. Mikoto x Reishi lives on
This was actually 4 seconds in, but it's so beautiful
