K-project: An underrated, heartbreaking, yet beautiful anime (VIDEO ESSAY)

Hey hey hey my lovely humans!! Thank you all so much for 500 subscribers! I cannot express how much all the love and support on my videos has meant to me these past few years. I am so honored to help keep this fandom alive, but it would be nothing without your unconditional encouragement and praise. Also, if I got the timing right, this video should be released on my 3-year anniversary here on YouTube!! Luv you all - Neko ❤️

It's no secret that I love K-project, also known as "K". I recorded this video almost a year ago now, but never got around to completing it. I poured my heart and soul into this video in the hopes of conveying even the smallest bit of love I hold so dearly for the series. Although this vid is not as edited as I would have liked, I am pleased to present to you... an hour of me rambling about what makes this show AMAZING! Why is it so unknown, and why is it not more popular? Well, step right up and buckle in for a wild ride of explanations, analyses, and opinionated thoughts about, subjectively, the most underrated anime of all time.

Please excuse my sped-up voice, I hate hearing myself talk, oopsie 🙈 Unfortunately, I did have to black out a few scenes due to copyright issues, but it's not too much of an issue!
