The void's, in they're raw form, before Shu refines them after they're extracted? Perhaps my theory of GHQ being responsible for it wasn't off... Now that i think about it doesn't also remind you a bit of the whole crystallization in Xam´d? if you ever seen it. |
 |
| so Inori is not a normal human? what the heck is she? what's with the high jump? and if you think about it, why make a 17-yr old girl sneak in a facility at the beginning to get a vial and be expected to return? why she has the most hax weapon that is shaped as a sword? why does she treat herself as a belonging of a person, just like a tool? why is she beautifully drawn and her character design is so charming? oh.. wait.. lots of cliche stuff but that doesn't matter as it's still entertaining for me.. it still needs to feature something that would make it recognized as a great show.. |
| Not entirely sure what to think of the plot and execution yet... but let me agree that the art, animation, and music are AWESOME. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| The animation is beautiful. helgan said: Shu betray gai and got him executed or something, then shu realize what he did wrg and grown up then end up becoming the undertaker head The End rofl... I think this may actually happen. I just have this feeling that Gai will die. |

Droplet said: Er, we're only 4 episodes in, they're not gonna have tons of development... I think Inori is latching onto Shu because he shows her warmth. That's why I said they need to develop their relationship...I don't care when, they just need to in the future. Most romances with a normal guy and a super hot girl never justify why the girl falls for the guy, so I'm hoping Guilty Crown does. That's all. |
| Well, Shu was actually half decent this episode, then again, I guess wishy washy protagonists like him always have a time where they shine. Although I will admit that gravity gun was pretty damn cool. Shu finally went with Gai, but he still has that pen thing, I just know he's going to do something stupid. |
| Now this is something MUCH better since we got to see more of the plot and nice scenes. Again, the virus reminds me of Eden and King of Thorn though. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| This ep was sooo good. I didn't think I'd like this show, but after the 1st 3-4 minutes of the first episode, I knew I would. But I didn't think it'd be anywhere close to This good. Hope it stays that way. ^_^ |
| WILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON??? I like the music and animation and cute/emotionless girl and all, but I don't understand a thing in this show |
| Yes yes the action was all very nice when Shu was fighting back and all but when he was running about it was fucking retarded, those are some of the gimpiest mecha i have ever seen they make like 1 move every min. I mean did you see the way Shu dodged one of their feet or how the other went to grab and missed then just stood there, then there was when they surrounded him and did nothing at all even when they knew had that gravity gun. Or how about when Inori was running to the building the mecha missed trying to shoot her then she jumped damn high to the top of the building? What is she meant to be lol? Or when she jumped down was she thinking "hm i hope shu has a gravity gun with him" Anyway the action is nice when Shu is fighting it makes sense but when hes running about there are so many ass pulls, its probably on a higher level than ass pull tbh they need to do that better if they are going to do it. Now Segai is a good character he looks to be an intresting he looks to be a nice to watch antagonist. He is alot better than Yan Daryl who is just a douche that hides behind daddy. Segai seems to be a man with a plan. Gai is starting to piss me off though he is pretty much an arrogant dumb ass, i mean why the fuck did he announce his attack? That served no purpose at all, it is about as bad as showing his face on T.V. all the time there is no point except to stroke his ego. He also keeps talking down to Shu like he is a piece of shit i mean Gai is asking for his help how about being nice to him and not trying to dominate him just to get yourself hard. Oh and taking off his lawyer disguse Shu already knew it was him its not like he had to pop out and go "SUPRISE ITS ME EGO JERK OFF TO MY OWN REFLECTION OH GOD PLEASE I WANT A HAREM GUY" Oh that Ayase Shinomiya was just being a desprate little Gai fan girl saying Shu did something to Inori because she acted without Gai's orders, no just because not everyone is gagging for Gai's dick like Ayase is does not mean Shu is tricking Inori. Then she blames Shu for everything. Gai did not guard Shu properly after he starts stalking him for Undertakers and talked to him out in the open like the dumb ass he is and then sends Inori to him right in the open. I also thought Shu would say he would trust in Inori rather than trust in that dumb ass Gai. Well lets hope he uses that transmitter to fuck Gai over later. I have been ranting but still liked the episode just some parts made me facepalm. |

Paul said: Shu just got a promotion to bad ass. He was rather impressive this episode indeed. I was happy with this episode including the fact that besides the other side definitely being the 'bad' side they do have good points too. |
Confucius said: One faction is killing in the name of preventing virus contamination while the other group is against it and thinks that it's unfair of such power exertion. WILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON??? I like the music and animation and cute/emotionless girl and all, but I don't understand a thing in this show In other words it's a war between a big bad army and a small group. That is just in general how I see it but it could be more. BTW I don't know who the heck made the GIF but here is my version in the spoiler 2 more thing:
|
| WHY IS THIS ANIME SO PRETTY?! |
| Was expecting more from this ep :/ The art, animation, and soundtracks are all in great quality. But the characters and the storyline needs to be improved. Well, it's still the 4th episode so I think there's enough room for that. |
| Gai is clearly lelouch and Shu the Suzaku. Gai clearly has some sort of ulterior objective apart from deposing GHQ. Shu the Suzaku is probably going to be the fickle man who samples both sides--finally starting his own force. And I think it was mentioned somewhere before that there's three void genomes. Also, I can't believe that the people who wrote the script for Code Geass actually wrote the script of this. Gai's plan was BS. It is a crime that a genius such as Lelouch would never commit. Besides, how the heck did GHQ let the FP get into a proximity close enough to it's key facilities? Generally, in warzones, such as in Iraq, there are Greenzones where the the authorities had full control and heavy military presence in the area. It puzzles me how the guys can move heavy military equipment anywhere near General Headquarters. And yes, Gai is a poor clone of Lelouch. Lulu would have worn a mask. Interesting thing was that in the videos, Gai was the only one who did not wear a mask. There was this scene where Shu asked Gai what he's fighting for, and his answer was "why are you asking me this?" Simple. Why should I fight for you? One thing I wanted to know is what exactly is GHQ(General Headquarters presumably?)? Is it supposed to be a privately owned mega corporation similar to the British East India Company or is it supposed to be an International mandated task-force? In addition, why do some people remain unregistered? If you can be executed randomly for not registered, then why do they remain so? Also, what exactly is an Inori Yuzuriha? She can dodge bullets and missles and jump mighty high. Is she some sort of enhanced superhuman? Anyway, Segai clearly reminds me of Diehard from Code Geass--except perhaps, a psychopathic version who enjoys being at the scene of great events. In conclusion, great fights, animation and music--but character development, in general, seemed rushed and filled with the superficial use of deux ex machina. I found it impossible how Inori and Shu could have fallen for one another , trust each other so much--even though they barely even know one another. Did Shu meet Inori in the past or something? |

| This episode was awesome. IMO the action in ep 2 was better than in this one, But the story in this was far better. And Gai as a lawyer was awesome xD This show is awesome. |
| this anime has me confused - i loved the first episode, but two and three were fairly average - then this episode comes along, and i loved it - anyways, i'll keep watching to see what will happen... |
 |
| SHU; was courageous c: I'm happy he actually made a decision, and I hope he sticks with it. Gai as a lawyer was funny, I thought it was a good way to sneak in, but it seemed silly how no one noticed. & the fight scene was neat, at first I though they were underwater with the bubble :] . good episode, curious about the next one~ |
| Haven't watched it yet, but I'm getting the feeling that halfway through the series things would get rushed in the second half and we'll have a half-hearted ending reminiscent of Ao no Exorcist. As a friend noted, "it's like they had a great plot for around 30+ episodes in length, but had to condense it to around 20 or so." And considering that the male protagonist's "expertise" is "handing the Idiot Ball"...ugh. |

 |
| I'm hoping Shu will use the transmitter later to do something to the Undertakers. Also, the scene with Shu and Inori was badass. When Shu first got out the prisoner's Void, I immediately thought it was a portal gun. |

| wow, the animation in this series is incredible damn, here's to hoping the story can hold up to the quality of the animation. |
| Pretty cool. I really want to see how Shu reacts to all that's happening. |

| I bet Shu's going to press that transmitter and ruin it all. |
| Nice animations, great fight scene and I hope that he will not use that transmitter. Would want to see more backstories of the characters, and what his father is related in this, cause they said they brought in his son. Only time will tell :p |

| Great action, and Shu finally joins. About time XD |
 |
| Shu finally joins and probably will go against Gai in the future since he took that device thingy lol |

Yes his mother is a very high up researcher for the group funeral parlor is fighting against. This is why Shu is so hesitant about everything. |
 |
| Great Shu finally joins the Funeral Parlor !! |
 |
| I like how people died. |
 |
| I just love this show it just keeps getting better. I wonder what Shu will do now since he is officially with the Undertakers. |
 |
| Has anyone else noticed that as of 06/11/2011, after 211 votes, not one of them was a 1/5? Not a single"Hated it" vote. I'd take that as a good sign. |

They didn't shoot shu because they were trying to re-capture him. Hence why one of the other mechs scanned his eye when it grabbed him. Also, I'm pretty sure Inori had a plan, she doesn't seem like a regular person, so once again, things will be described later - I'm sure. About Mawaru Penguindrum, It's good, but it's harder to follow than other anime. It switches protagonists too frequently and divulges plot details too randomly. It's well done though, just hard to follow. |

| Wow the Assault and Gravity Gun was awesome. The Warden letting him go away is quite tricky as well. This show exceeds expectations. |
| wow not bad at all... i guess this will be really good. its lmao though how Funimation started sending DMCA letters xD one of the reason's why they wanna licence anime series. Even though their Dubs are down to earth horrible xP imo . |
オール・イズ・バニッティー  |
| I think I spurred someone to give it a 1/5 because of my statement above, lmao. |

| im happy that i didn't drop this series after 2 episodes of boredom and shounen cliche everywhere... the 3rd episode is quite intriguing and then, the 4th episode is just pure epic!! i love everything about it except the scene where Yahiro sitting beside his brother's bed... who cares about that traitor, they could've made a better background story for him.. omg dont make me start on the artwork!! ITSSSS JUSSTTT BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looked so expensive!!! i wonder how much money the production spends to make this episode... looking forward to watch the next episode.. i hope it gets better and better.. <3 |
| Prison outbreaks will never get old, really liked this episode 5/5 |
