At least Shu seems to be manning up a bit.
Why did both this and Mirai Nikki have to have weak protagonists? I have a hard time dealing with one per season and both shows are too awesome otherwise to drop.

Shu is hot so I'm okay with it, Mirai Nikki pisses me off though.

I tried to watch Mirai Nikki, didn't do it for me qq. Anyways for this weeks episode...it seems that Gai tipped off the GHQ...I'm still don't really know if Inori is fake or not, Shu seems to have gained some resolve, even if only temporarily.

Bear in mind this will contain spoilers. Like, huge ones. Oh and it has me raging about it so if you like the show... You have my sympathies.
Also I don't really remember all the stuff in the show that well so don't attack me. This is more for a comedic purposes anyway.

I enjoy watching anime here and there. Knowing Guilty Crown creators were behind Code Geass too which is one of the anime I really liked, I naturally felt like I should try this too. Oh boy...



Basically show starts something like Code Geass. Mysterious girl gives the MC some cool power and he shows off his power in some cool way and we're like ;OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awsum dood. Well she didn't really GIVE him the power, it was some virus shit she was holding. If I remember correctly, I don't even remember by now.
Now that's all swell but the characters are annoying little turds it gets well... annoying.

Basically his power lets him draw mass artillery from people cause that's just badass. They refer to this power as "king's power" (same shit with code geass but it has kinda more sense here). Cause you know, a king is nothing without people to support him and he can't draw any power if he has no people next to him so that's like eh... interesting concept. Too bad they take a massive dump on it.

Have you guys seen Inori? A freaking rock has more personality than her. She has like some status ailment inflicted on her that makes her whisper all the fucking time. Except when she's singing... I think. Apparently she's some famous singer in the anime who also works for terrorists. How does that work out, it's up to us to figure out. Then all of a sudden she becomes a transfer student and transfers to Shu's school (shu is the whiny mc) to "keep an eye on him". So we have a terrorist, famous singer going to same class as that dude that destroyed all the robots in first ep. She's so annoying I'm surprised they didn't name her Sakura.

Shu instantly falls in love with her for no real fucking reason. She's not even that hot man. Ayase (the dancing disco programming girl) and the wheelchair girl are far more attractive. But that's beside the point. Shu falls in love cause he's a moron. He starts blushing like a tomato when a girl's boob touches his body. And by body I mean elbow. But that's more of a Japan's fault in general rather than people who made this. Gotta keep up with the tradition yo, even if it's shit.

Then we have this guy called Gai who's the leader of the terrorists. He's like this handsome guy with cool fighting skills and seems to have a nice heart even if he acts cold at times. For some reason he knows what person has which "void" (the weapon basically) inside them. I have no idea how the hell he knows this and I'm not sure if it was ever explained. But owell he must have magical powers like Harry Potter or something. He magically seduces the student council president too. More on her below.
He dies in a show but magically comes back to life and turns 360 on his personality and starts destroying everyone who messes with him. His plan was something to do with Adam and Eve, fuck me if I understood that.

Oh I forgot Shu's mom. Jesus Christ she wears only underwear when she's at home with him and hugs him and throws her boobs in his face. Like dude, I appreciate what you're trying to show me here but this is supposed to be serious anime. Also Sakura comes and lives with Shu for some fucking reason and Shu's mom is totally okay with that. We have famous singer slash terrorist living in our house but hey, the more the merrier.

Also I have to add that everyone in this show just LOVES to turn 360 on their personality, not just Gai. We have this student council president girl who actually talks sense in the show but later she got seduced heavily by Gai fella and she'd do anything for him and she basically just fucks her off former personality and has no problem killing people later.
Shu also starts thinking he's a complete badass and when the school was in lockdown he became a major dick and even his friends disliked him. Gai later came and cut off his arm with his Harry Potter powers but Shu lives cause of Main Character invincibility.

As story progresses everyone forgives Shu for being a dick cause... I don't know why. But considering Vegeta is all friendly with our fellow DBZ characters even after murdering a shitton of people and destroying a planet... who am I to disagree?

Then we learn Sakura is actually some freaking beast or whatever. In episode 18 all of a sudden she just becomes this wild girl with crystals (that's some virus actually) from her body and slashing up robots and buildings. I was like where the fuck did that come from? I had my WAT face during the whole moment.

Anyway, Shu kills Gai, everything's better again through magical powers and Shu becomes blind, not exactly sure why but hey, it's there.

TL;DR Shu keeps fucking up cause he's an idiot. Inori is a Sakura. Gai is harry potter in disguise.
I could've made this better but owell. Hope fans don't get too mad if anyone even bothers reading all this worthless text.

Well... I got Guilty Crown however I'm undecided on if I should watch it...

I loved Ao no Exorcist and the accompanying OST is AMAZING, however Guilty Crown... seems weird.

Especially the strange usage of german voices in the OST just makes me scratch my head and shrug my shoulders....

Guilty Crown starts good then it becomes really bad. It has bunch of plot holes and you never know what characters are gonna do since they don't stick with their personalities.
Music kinda got boring. Too Engrish for me or well, japanised german in this case. It's good but they use it like all the time. Like they're so proud of the damn soundtrack they composed.

At least animations and voice acting are good. I can't deny that. Shu's voice is irritating me but that's more cause of what character he is. His voice actor is really good tho.

Loved Guilty Crown I watched it subbed as it was released. One of the only good anime released in the last few years, and aired with shana III, was a great season.

Anime didn't really made sense to me. I loved Code Geass and I expected a lot from GC... but I think half of it made no sense.
It had an interesting concept but it's like the writers got too horny from their own story and completely fucked it up.

Graphics are fine and all but I really can't stand this song. I skip whenever she starts singing.

Bios is alright tho.

One thing to note: IIRC Gai's ability to tell what Void someone has had to do with him being infected by the apocalypse virus thingy. Of course that still doesn't explain why anyone who is infected by that can do that or why he turned evil, but still.
I kind of liked it, but the "360 everything" about halfway through was just a bit too extreme.
