K Project Gets New Anime Project

K Project franchise’s –K: Return of Kings– had concluded the story in the anime’s epic finale last December 2015, or that’s what we’d been assuming all this time. It seems that the story isn’t over yet as the “K – Do you know K?” event for the K media project announced that there’s upcoming production for a new animation project for the franchise. So, this means that we will finally have a glance of “Kings” and their “Sword of Damocles” in the near future. The format of the K Project new animation wasn’t reveal yet, however it might be a prequel about the current kings when the series debuted and how they became the chosen “Kings. “

[Update as of August 28, 2019] K: Seven Stories Project Movie Review

Returning as the director and character designer for K Seven Stories anime is Shingo Suzuki at studio GoHands. The original story is once again credited to both GoRA and GoHands.
