Some things in anime are more complex than others, techniques are among them, and they take a little bit of demonstration. GIFs are great for that since they can show the motion.

As far as quality goes, GIFs are good preserving transparency through the motion. Since the K anime is quite bright and fluid, the GIFS, assuming they're made properly, would be quite good. GIFs use compression so you won't see the kinds of problems that appear on a JPG image.

Also, as far as I know, a GIF runs on all web browsers.
