Just finished it today, and I didn't think it was bad at all. I actually just watched it to see why so many people thought it was terrible, and came out loving it. I don't like Code Geass, never did and never will, so I can't say whether or not they're the same, but I was overall pleased with what I saw, however, I can't say it's something I'd rewatch in the future. Maybe, but I'm not too sure about that.

We can think out of the box, that's all, I'm a fanboy, I already noticed that myself. But I don't need to be slapped in the face with information to understand the story, I can make a sum of everything they told us.

This anime is on hold for me and only seen like 5 episode, so i cant truly say. However, the first episode did not drive my impression simply cause it seems like a mockery comparing it to code geass and the characters don't seem interesting, and I also did not like their power just because it seems uncool is much i can say

I watched CG now. And I have to say there are similarities. But those are minor and how they morphed and added into the story will look like it's original (which in the end it is).

Nice review. Somewhat short but to the point. You should make it a bit more lenghty and maybe have a bit more "fun" with some jokes etc.

I did like that pun (which didn't seem intentional) tho. "How would you feel in his shoes?" XD True. How would a 17 years old that lost his memories because of a trauma feel...? Like Shu.

After finishing the series, I think it's okay-good. Like I stated in my review, the hardest part for me is sticking to it during the first arc. Also the sheer of negative reviews can discourage people. Good thing I decided to stick with it and finished the show. And unlike most, I ended up liking Shu and Inori, and the show overall.

Shu should of died along. How he survived is unrealistic.

"To attain something you need to sacrifice something else." is the motto of that ending.

For surviving, he also assimilated Inori's blindness. Don't forget that Inori was a clone of Mana, that cradle was her soul or at least everything he could assimilate, and don't forget that Inori's blood could stop somewhat the crystalization but not for long (that's why Gai was injecting her blood in himself). He took her "healing" completely when he assimilated her, thus he didn't crystalize. The escape from the tower has not been explained. That is one major plot hole.

He didn't get what he want in the end, and acted like a martyr losing his arm and eyes for survival and for the survival of the world. It's a realistic ending. It's not always possible to get what you want.

All anime are just like that, a boy, get a power, to change something in their life..
It's typical, because the character need a development, IMO..

If they just dislike anime with char development, just go watch sayonara zetsubou sensei, that's good anime without character development :p

Oh, I don't know maybe because this thread was originally made because someone was curious on whether they should watch the anime even though there are so many disappointed people.

That person did not ask for the ending. Did not ask for spoilers.
So that answers your question. I'm here because I was in the same predicament.

nekoyaki said:

Oh my god. School days was such a dreadful anime, I mean it was painfully boring and I only endured it to the end because I had a hunch that the ending would turn out completely out of the world. Like, no one would have imagined that ending.


Anime philosophy-
There are some animes with mind-blowing endings. There are two ways your mind can be impacted after it has been blown.

#1-> complete rage because this mind blow was obviously too much for you to handle. You weren't expecting it at all and therefore blame the anime for being so messed up and incomprehensible to the human mind. Basically, you feel MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. Symptoms of this is repeatedly saying "I wish ____ happened instead" or "It would have been better if _______ rather than _______". Ranters who enter the thread at random times to attack innocent posters that say "ooo, this is really getting interesting!!" are possible people who are in this stage.

#2-> you are in a state of "shock" and do not know how to express your feelings about your mind blow, however you feel greatly impacted because this ending didn't exactly turn out in your favor, but you liked how different it was and the element of surprise in the ending really makes you satisfied. Key word being "it didn't exactly turn out in your favor"

#3-? All people are different. Some people jump off building in response to having their mind blown, so I wouldn't be able to account for every single person's reaction. These two are the most typical I have come across.

Of course, if you're satisfied with the ending and/or expected it all along (because it was so obvious) then that's a different story. Anyways, the reason most people weren't disappointed with school days was because most people were in "mind-blown option #2...that along with the fact that they believed that the freak deserved what he got


One thing I've learned about accepting anime endings. NEVER EVER EVER complain and start sending hate mails to the staff just because one thing in the end throws you off or you're unsatisfied with it. If you do that, they just might do what they did for Kuroshitsuji II, loll that was the staff's way of saying "EVERYONE FREAKING DISAPPEARS AND DIES. HAPPY NOW?"

Worked. Shut the fans right up, haha

It was an ok anime. But the only reason that made it ok was the music and animation. Honestly, if any of those were even subpar, I probably would've given this anime much lower than an 8 (which is my current score). Even at times, I think an 8 is a bit too high, but I absolutely LOVE the music; and the animation is definitely not something to laugh at.

I don't believe GC is that bad. I know that beautiful art and eargasmic sound/music doesn't make up for an anime, but the animation and the supercell-made songs are worthy of 11/10. I don't think that the story is that horrible too, it's more of a failed execution- the characters just weren't developed well, the plotholes kept piling up and as a result, it became a trainwreck.

About comparing it to CG, personally, I think they're similar too. You know, that power of kings, the future setting, the "Japan failed" theme, mechas, waifu-able mysterious lead woman, the MC is Hitler, and so on. I refer GC as a CG rip-off just for hyperbole, I do not mean it completely.

Overall, since GC is scored 7 on my list, I for one don't think it's that unwatchable though it's not a masterpiece neither.

Don't freakin' compare it to CG for gods sake. That's the mistake all of you are doing.

It's like comparing every MMO that was released after WoW, to WoW itself, because hey, WoW is popular and succesful, they must all be rip-offs.

Those ideas were released BEFORE CG. Plus your idea of rip-off is too general guys, from your idea anything that has a virus, must be a rip-off from the first movie/anime that ever used a virus in their plot.

I thought it was a decent (8/10) even with its cliches. I just went into it without really any expectations.

The later episodes were just a shitstorm of WTF though and the ending was trash.

Lol, on episode 17 now, I understand why everyone hates it. When Lelouch acted evil, he had a purpose, when Shu turned evil, he made no plans whatsoever. It's turning into a story of a guy that turned bad for no reason at all, with no purpose either. What did they plan to do with the voids?

Imo, they really should have ended it on episode 11, everything turned really crappy after that.

EDIT: Couldn't stop myself, I read the summaries for the rest of the episodes only. All I can say is wtf just happened...

Hows it going Vizi? This should be interesting because I gave Guilty Crown a "2" where you gave it a "9." Ironically enough, I feel GUILTY about the rating because I really wanted to like it and I know a lot of work goes into creating these series... but could not bring myself into it lol. I genuinely hated it and would expect more from a professional staff.

-Remind me of the "good things" in this anime, in your opinion.

Im just curious for pure discussion, not looking to bash you at all btw :p

It wasn't a "THAT" bad anime thanks to its epic wow soundtrack, high production values and story potential, although it gained some infamy by its messed up plot direction due to bad execution, anticlimactic sequences(the ending was just one of them), and noticeable cliches(fanservice dosages to name a few) :P

I went into it knowing I would either love it or hate it. I ended up reallly not liking it, I wouldn't say hate. But Shu's character was a big let down for me, never knew what to do himself and always asking others to tell him. Gets lied to and deceived all the time and never does anything about it. The story had a cliche ending and just all around got on my nerves.

Yes it's bad and you should feel bad for thinking it's good.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.
