its only temporary, trust me in a few minutes/hours the haters will start flocking in, nitpicking and trying to find ways to bash the show


Well, if you take into account that this was actually the most decent episode out of the last few ones this would only make sense, wouldn't it? While there are some certain people who are only jumping on the band wagon when bashing this show there's no denying that this anime has several partly really severe flaws which would justify the many dislikes each of these polls receive.

I hope this anime can get season 2. I loved it so much. Can't wait to see the next episode. I don't want this show to ends either. It sooo good. Everyone have different taste but this one really fit my taste. The whole story is really different.

This was actually a decent episode which is suprising considering this show is usually crap. For once we didn't need some over the top action and major drama. Still the end was annoying but other than that it wasn't too bad. I am still betting that the last 2 episodes will be terrible.

the flashbacks were really sad...but Shu's mom is hot and his dad looks just just like him. When I first saw the series, I always wonder why Shu had a little bit of blonde hair but now you can see that it was a family thing LOL. But I hate the guy that murder Shu's father.


Doesn't explain Mana's pink hair though.


It's anime. Every parent has the genetics of a rainbow when it comes to hair and eye color.

I don't see how they can't go for a second season here to deal with the whole Daath issue, unless they intend on leaving major plotholes and rush everything at once in two episodes... which is very likely.

Lulz at people taking the episode thread poll seriously.

I think why people are for the most part reacting positively is that it's the first non-WHAM episode since number 8. There were no gigantic plot siderails or stunning revelations, just a lot of methodical (if somewhat half-assed) explanations as to what went on. Really helped out, and I'm thankful for that. :'3

Nice to see some longer explanation of what actually happened with the virus and it was done before the big fight. 2 episodes for Shu to kill both Daath and Gai seems unlikely without being rushed? Maybe another season?

I'm not sure if someone else pointed this out already, but Kurosu sure made an awkward cure to the Apocalypse Virus. I mean it only works on people U-17! Unless Inori was just feeding Shu false info from Gai at the time to limit Shu's Void use.

And will Shuichiro's revival ever be explained? Same with Gai.

And I'm gonna play bs guessing game here and say that Inori is some empty vessel that Daath/Shuichiro created to later house Mana (to have sex time with Gai! I mean make Gai her Adam.)

Bleh I forgot this is one of those anime you have to watch brainlessly to enjoy. yay for inori service?

EDIT: Now that I think about it... how does a vaccine that works with certain genes and can only be used on people of a certain age group work? Do people in the Guilty Crown world magically attain something other than nucleotides for genetic code after the age of 17? Actually the whole concept of Void is just messed up. Trying to use fake science to explain some crazy phenomenon is not the way to go.

what i think is that because age under 17 or equal to 17 means the body is still maturing, when you hit 18 your practically an adult already and hence your body or physical properties is NOT gonna mature further if not anymore, you know since the apocalypse virus and void genome is tied with evolution so its not far fetch to tied it with the evolution of a young person into adulthood and that point is called teenage life which is under 17

Shu = Group lol i thought Shu is just short of letter N to make it Shun = Reject

and Shu's bioligical mother was hot she looks like Mari from the Rebuild of Evangelion Movies

Sorry, but if I recall correctly the actual age of physical/mental maturity is at 23 or 27 years old aprox., and it doesn´t necessarily correspond to the concept of what society deem that teenagers are now adults (commonly 17-18 years old).

Well, good clarification episode. It's a little too far down the season for my taste but hey, they're doing things in messed up ways anyways. Hopefully the build up for Shu vs. Gai continues to escalate. The villains are severely lacking in background detail and motivation information so I fear that the battle will be actiony but baseless other than the Lost Christmas crud being thrown around.

Well, we cannot deny that by explaining everything, they also messed up the previous information we had about certain things...again.
The most notorious example would be the Voids: from being originally people´s hearts they are now fragments of Mana´s crystalized form after her disintegration during the Lost Christmas incident (or that´s what I managed to grab).

What I understood is that during lost christmas some fragments of Mana were inserted into some people's voids, not that the voids were Mana's fragments.

What? No. Voids are still peoples hearts it's just that during the lost Christmas incident her "shards" were scattered around and mixed with other peoples voids. I guess the people with a High Genome Resonance were the people who collected some of her "shards" and I guess when Inori was around them more she collected them. Which makes sense now looking back at some episodes.

What I want to know is. What the hell is up with Gai. Whose side was he on when he was the leader of Undertaker? He was a test subject to become the new Adam, then he escaped, then he was found by Mana then Lost Christmas happened then he leaves, then he comes back as a leader with only one goal in mind, be with Mana again, or embrace her. He said his goal has been the same back then and now. Gai's entire past is confusing as hell I mean fuck.

On top of that the Void Genome. What was it's specific role. Was it's role help treat the Apocalyptic Virus? then there's Mana who andnejugnuj tngbnjmhbiktmtikmhfsdf sdffhykjuikiuklupyklputklppltryphltphln..... Fuck it.

ROFL at my own misconception :D
But yeah, Gai doesn´t make sense. Considerating what Shuiichirou has done to him, it´s quite contradictory that they´re allies now.
(Unless only Shuiichirou knows how to bring Mana back into Inori, which doesn´t make sense since he originally wanted to marry her and shouldn´t have needed Gai, and it doesn´t make much sense either he´s also by Gai´ side now when his own son can kill him anytime, unless Shuiichirou has any back up plan to get rid of him if he attempts anything, unless ARGGGGGGGGHH!!! Dx)

Overall, I think this was a decent episode.
Turns out, Shu's dad was actually a pretty cool guy. I wouldn't mind hanging out with him.
And this episode answered a few questions, cleared up some things. However, there are still things that need to desperately be answered. And I still don't get who this Daath guy is.
To sum it up, this episode was a nice breather from all the action we've been getting lately.
I can't wait for the next episode.
MY WONDERFUL DARYL IS GONNA BE BACK.
However, he's hooked up to all this weird stuff ; A ;
What happened to him?!?!? What did they do to him! I'm scared for his well-being by the end of this show.
WHAT'S THAT THING ON HIS CHEST?

And I love that end card.

I didn't catch on to what that guy was saying either... they gave no indication to my memory that she was ever unfaithful; the only women with relation to Keido that was with Shu's dad would be Haruka and thats only because they are siblings...

First, why are you putting something that happened in this episode inside a spoiler tag?

And second, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall anyone saying that she was the one pregnant with Mana. They showed when Shu was born not when Mana was born.

Though maybe I misread or simply forgot that they mention something like that, if so I apologize.

Uhm yes She was pregnant with both Shu and Mana. I realized now that Mana was significantly older than Shu during the Lost Christmas incident. She was 5 when she got the rock and 12 during the lost christmas incident while Shu was 6.

I'm really starting to think that these episodes left will only cover 4th Apocalypse/Shu x Gai, and that they'll do another Season with Shu against the Da'at with the Climax being another void x void fight.

Yes. I believe what they are basically trying to say is the Apocalyptic Virus makes the heart exteriorize and materialize. So a person with the Void genome can extract someones heart (void) and I guess stop the virus. That's what I think they were trying to say.
