Synopsis

On December 24, 2029—the day colloquially known as the "Lost Christmas"—the Apocalypse Virus spread across Japan, bringing death to its citizens and plunging the country into utter chaos. In an effort to establish order, the United Nations sends the GHQ to assist with the crisis by containing the outbreak while removing all political autonomy in the process. A decade later, the country still lives under their control, unable to break free from their draconian rule.

Frustrated with the state of the nation, a resistance group named the Funeral Parlor aims to liberate Japan from the GHQ. Led by the charismatic Gai Tsutsugami, the group plots to steal a vial containing the "Void Genome" to further their goals. The vial falls into the hands of internet vocalist Inori Yuzuriha, who ends up being hunted by the GHQ's Anti-Bodies forces. Having nowhere to go, she seeks refuge in a warehouse where she meets Shuu Ouma—a socially awkward high school student who is a huge fan of her music.

Shuu gets dragged into the conflict the moment he rescues Inori, and the Void Genome shatters in his hand, granting him the "Power of the Kings." While learning how to control his grand new ability, Shuu must now fight to liberate Japan from its cruel oppressors.

Guilty Crown is one of those animes you either love or hate

Soundtrack is probably the strongest part of the show with ryo from Supercell and Hiroyuki Sawano both at their peak composing beautiful and stunning songs/soundtracks for the show,also this anime marks the debut of Egoist a fictional band created by ryo from Supercell and with vocals from Chelly so if you like Egoist/Supercell/Hiroyuki Sawano you will love this anime regardless of other issues.

Characters Design is second strongest part of the show with illustrator Redjuice from Supercell creating the world setting,its characters and how they look,the mecha designs are futuristic yet unique,the world looks ...

“Guilty Crown” is a visually stunning and emotionally charged anime that takes you on a rollercoaster of action, drama, and suspense. The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly virus has ravaged Japan, earning it a well-deserved rating of 8/10 for its setting. This dystopian backdrop provides a rich and intriguing environment for the unfolding story.

The animation is top-notch, with beautifully designed characters and breathtaking action sequences that keep you on the edge of your seat.

The story revolves around Shu Ouma, a high school loner who obtains a mysterious power that allows him to extract weapons from people’s hearts. As he becomes ...

This show is had some very strong points in the first half, but then it just went downhill and got lost up its own butt. It looks like it was meant to end in episode 12. Its the second half where everything falls apart. I will try to do this without a wall of text. So I will just mention some things about it that are impossible to ignore. First things first, Inori is an awful character. Are we supposed to like her because she has pink hair? She has no personality, she mumbles and never shows any spark or smile. Not even one scream ...
