IMO, GC it's not the worst show, far from it. However, it's not a good show either. Again, this is all my opinion, and we may share very different taste in the things we like.

Looking at your rating history though, I think you'll enjoy this quite a bit.

Pretty much. And the deal with the endlaves, you're controlling the remotely but you can still die from it? It's kinda weird.


I think the neural system of the controller is connected to the endlave. Then when the endlave dies your brain thinks you died and causes your actual body to spaz out? :O

I wonder why they came up with such a stupid idea. I mean, couldn´t have developed a safer controlling system? Without having your pilots to spaz out from any attack in the middle of a battle or something?? ¬¬

oh man the haters of this show are some of the most annoying people out there. It's almost hard to believe that they take out all this time of their lives to peruse the guilty crown forums, a show that they hate, and look for the best oportunities to bash it writing the exact same things over and over again.

I thought it was a pretty good show, it has it's flaws but if your not blinded by hate theyre easy to look past, and it ends up being pretty enjoyable. Also I'd say it's less like code geass, and more of a combination of eureka and evangelion.

I guess that's just a side effect of completely connecting your neural system to the endlave...

And @WyattEarp I kind of agree with you. Some people just say Guilty Crown is bad because some scenes don't make sense. For example, the scene I discussed before in the first episode where the first endlave misses targeted missiles on Inori. Can't we all just assume that Tsugumi hacked into the system and screwed the missiles up? Why is the anime completely terrible because of small instances like that?

I think the people nitpicking about something as small as that are misguided, but that would just be silly.

The scene already works in the context of the show, there's no need to defend it. Stormtroopers couldn't hit the side of a barn in Star Wars either, but it's hardly a problem if you accept that it's a work of fiction.

Exactly my point. I saw a page where this guy listed 100 instances of small illogical scenes. I was just confused as to why anyone would waste his/her time doing that instead of enjoying the anime....

Guilty Crown is a bad show. Its plot is laughable and the characters are down right retarded. The music and animation are top notch though. Like I said before, music/animation are not enough to save a show/movie. Not the worst thing ever but it is still pretty damn bad.

I can´t remember well, but weren´t the pilots inside of the Endlave, right? If it was like that, then that neurological system is not a very good idea, because by attacking a certain place they are easily knocked out and unable to keep fighting.

@kurselax: We definitely got out of hand with this thread when you just wanted to know if Guilty Crown is worth your time, and I humbly apologise for that.
Unfortunately, as you might have been able to tell by now, we cannot assure you if it´s a must watch or not. Personally, I would recommend several other shows that are better, yet, as I have said before, Guilty Crown can be some goddamn fun experience as there were plenty of people who loved it.
No one can force you to watch it, yet the only way to know if you like it or not is getting into it by yourself: if you find it enjoyable, go ahead and don´t mind the others. If not, feel free to drop it and watch something else instead.

Since we are at it, do you want me to call the mods before this thread becomes a flamewar or something?

The slightest thought that will pass from your mind is enough to make you see plot holes and stupid things happening. It is by far not a mature or well written show. It is just dumb fun and guilty pleasure (exactly what the name implies) for viewers with really low expectations. And sure, many are bound to love it, in the same way so many loved Twilight. Does that make it a good show? Hell no. Thank you for your understanding and in case you actually liked the show for any other reason then I pity you.

Good you stated your opinion. Now back it up with reasons...?

You can't just say a show is bad because it is bad (which is essentially what you just wrote).

It's nitpicking if it's once in a while, but you see those mistakes repeatedly in Guilty Crown.

It's not really a mistake though. There is no 100% contradiction. Most of the events that seem paradoxical have a reasonable explanation but just because the show didn't completely explain them doesn't mean that it's necessarily a "mistake".

Guilty Crown isn't point blank a bad show. It has its moments. The only issue is in its attempt to basically cater to everyone it fell on its ass.

The first episode though and the initial premise was the most similar to Code Geass. Then they moved onto something different afterwards.

Mysterious girl with mysterious power (when the void is first drawn out), check.
Mysterious power of kings, check.
Rebellion faction, check.
Robots on wheels (lol), check.
Japan under foreign rule, check.
Some "accident" where the said foreign rule plan to destroy an entire area of innocent civilians, check.
Protagonist want to change something, check.

One of The Best anime i watched till now.

The OSTs are Beautifully Amazing.
The Story Line goes well
The charchter are done very well.

You should watch it if you like sci-fi games and Drama scenes

In a nutshell that's why I liked the anime. The characters are done well but my only complaint is the lack of development in anyone's abilities/powers except Shu's. My only problem with the storyline is that the last episode had too much in it. Almost half the characters died in just the last episode. Could've been better if the ending scenes were diluted to 3 episodes.

I think if you watched Code Geass first then Guilty Crown might not be as good for you. GC for me was the best anime of fall-winter season.

I'm on episode 10 and I can't find any motivation to push on. I want to strangle Shin, and then push him of a god damn cliff.
