Weskalia's GUILTY CROWN Tv Review
Rated:
Some anime shows are so bad, you can tell they're going to be horrible from the start. Then there are shows that look promising on the outside, only to be completely hollow and unsatisfying on the inside. Guilty Crown is an example of the latter type, a series built on good intentions and crowd-pleasing elements that end up being wasted. Sure, it's fun to look at, kind of like a fireworks display or a pinwheel, but that's about it. There are a lot of elements within Guilty Crown that have the potential to be great standalone story particles, but as a whole, it lacks a sense of purpose. The Apocalypse Virus is neat, I guess, but releasing a crippling, humanity-destroying virus kind of seems like a generic bad guy thing to do.

The first few seconds were all the anime took to capture my heart. The song "Euterpe" was beautiful. The
melody. The lyrics. Inori's voice (provided by Chelly). It blew me away.
Plot-wise, it took a bit too long to get fully warmed up. But once things started to get interesting, the energy and
pace are able to keep me engaged and gripped. The whole thing was not too original. I kept seeing shadows of Code Geass
all over the place. Terrorists and the 'Power of the King' and all that. Though as the story progresses, it develops its
own characteristics and tone.
Usually, I despise stories with weak protagonists. Shu seemed like one at first, but the moment I saw his eyes when he
first used Inori's void, I realised he's much more interesting than he had previously let on. Though I still find his
whiney manners a bit irritating at times, I see his potential in become a worthy hero.
The graphics are top-rate. And the light effects are splendid.
This reminds me of Code Geass, mechas and a pretty girl giving a school boy a powerful weapon to defend the revolutionary guys. The artwork is wonderful, but the story is so much predictable, animation and artwork are the only reasons to watch.
MisaSasekage rated 7.00:This was another one of the new series that I was really excited to see. I like the character designs. Guilty Crown feels like and reminds me a lot of Code Geass in many ways, the story itself is pretty similiar — right down to the main protagonist with the Power of Kings, the resistance group trying to liberate Japan, and the prevalent use of mechs. Shu reminded me a lot of Shion in No. 6, his voice and the way he acts. Shuu has resigned himself to life under GHQ’s military rule and spends his days peacefully away from society and don't break from that when his favorite internet singer gets dragged off to retrieve the “Void Genome” that Inori stole. In moments like that, especially in a first episode, I would expect our “hero” to at least get roughed up trying to save the heroine, but Shuu cowers in fear instead and ends up kicking himself over it. Normally this would be somewhat irksome, but given the flashbacks of what I presume are the victims of the “Apocalypse Virus” from ten years ago, I’m a lot more forgiving of his cowardice. I even think it adds a deeply-rooted complexity to his character, which he made strides toward overcoming when he went to rescue Inori. Gai seems like a pretty cool character but he seems like he may be stubborn or have a bad attitude. I really like Inori and I'm extremely interested to find out more about her. There’s no denying that she’s the main attraction of this first episode and most likely the rest of the series; which I have no problem with.^^ At the moment, there are a lot of unanswered questions as to why Shuu possesses “The Power of Kings” in his right hand, allowing him to extract weapons from the “Void” within a person’s body (which is made up of their own essence according to he eyepatch in the episode, and why Inori’s commander and co-star of the series, Tsutsugami Gai, sent Shuu to go and rescue her. Things are off to a great start on the production and story side of things, and we’ve only been informally introduced to some other resistance members such as Tsugumi and the wheelchair bound pilot Shinomiya Ayase. Mana is one really messed up chick...

xChibiSakura rated 10.00:This anime is awesome~! One of the best ones this year, the story is interesting and the characters well designed, plus the music is great~! >w< [Update] The ending was so sad ;w; But I guess it couldn't be helped, it just had to end that way.
