Also what's up all this "a man wiser than myself"/"a wise man once said" bullshit ? Are you people so insecure that you need to cloak your criticism in the words of other people? If yes, then congratulations: You are probably exactly the kind of person Shu should appeal to. And that's IN NO WAY a positive sign. yourelagginme said: 1. Still no adults whatsoever. Kid poowwwrrrr. 2. Fanservice because modern Anime is about selling Blurays of course. Substance? Plot? Logic? Pul-leeze. 3. "Distinction?! That's discrimination Shoe! How dare you rank our super powers that we didn't even know we had until 5 minutes ago xD Nevermind the fact that I have a random object in my chest, we all accept that blindly xD. This isn't forced drama at all!" 4. I'm Hare. I love spinless boys. All girls love the wimps. You're unasserativeness makes my women parts feel weird. 5. Errrrbody holding their voids. Shu's explanation for this from before: "I... t-think my powers changed" 6. Plothole: Hare uses her Void to heal the girl, but it would've been impossible for it to have been out because Shoe ran off to "distract" the missile launcher wielding military gundams (smart idea). 7. LOL. Car defies the laws of physics and dodges 4 missiles by moving side to side REALLY fast somehow (never mind the fact that Inori is driving) 8. No recoil from a shoulder mounted ROCKET LAUNCHER (it would probably nearly snap her spine) 8. LOL WHAT. Hare breaks and vanishes into magic pixy dust? LOL. WHAT? 9. Oh no you killed a rather irrelevant character. I am going to go berserk now like every typical shounen hero. This "twist" hasn't been done in the exact same way and forced down our throats 100 times since DBZ. I will now likely defy gravity and logic by having increased super abilities (with no explanation), and I will absolutely end up killing everything instead of dying from one bullet. 10. "is that rly shoe xD? sugoi no way. he mad now his powers increase when he mad. never mind logic." 11. Not ONE BULLET fired in the entire "final battle". LOL. 12. I am so dark and evil now xD i am guilty crown the blood pours within my veins, oh thy darkness i trust my sins. I am Shoe I will become king. Fin. (not the most typical rushed "twist" ever that everyone knew would happen since the moment Gai died of course) It's safe to say that this episode was so bad that I'm genuinely shocked even for Guilty Crown standards. 1/5 (Being extremely generous here) 5/5 post, man. But you forgot how the helicopters did target the running idiots instead of the wheelchair girl with the rocket launcher. Elite pilots. |

Have you even watched this show!? Hare's entire body was crystalized, so of course she would shatter into "pixie dust" (as you so "brilliantly" put it). 4. Why are you "hating" on every thing in this anime?! It's an anime, they are allowed to make unrealistic things seem realistic, that's the great thing about animation. It's like when you watch an action movie and a character jumps out of a speeding car and is still alive, that's the thing, it's a movie. Yes there are some things that definitely make no logical sense, like with hare using her void without Shu around, but the rest is fine. 5. Finally, if someone really close to you died in an unfortunate way, wouldn't you feel the same way as shu? Traumatic things can change people, dude. |

Finally, if someone really close to you died in an unfortunate way, wouldn't you feel the same way as shu? Traumatic things can change people, dude. 1)It's a small meme. I prefer to think we call him shoe because he is just that - a tool. An item without any personality. 2)It doesn't matter with the absurdity of this situation. 3)Doesn't change the fact that Voids as a plot device are not nearly enough explained. 4)The thing is, the writers of those movies like "The Transporter" didn't claim to make a realistic and revolutionary movie. GC creators did. 5)Yeah, I would totally do the opposite of what my deceased loved ones would expect from me. Also, why didn't he crack when Gai died back then? After all, they retconned him into his super best bestestchildhood friend. Come on, trying to justify the plot in GC is a pointless endeavor. Why are you even trying? |

Would be more natural if his maturation was more gradual over a period of time, but it was like pussy to heartless hitler in one minute. your a prime example of a hater who has nothing better to do than nitpick on problems which dont even exist or are so minoscule that it makes no difference, i could disagree with so many of them right now like many others but i dont have the time to, imo the episode was just fine and me and many other people found hare's death to be heartbreaking and shu's transition to be awesome but you have your own dam opinions about the show and just like i have mine "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" |

| Ok to the people who are on here to write shit about this awesome anime, why the hell are you still watching it?! If you don't like it, don't watch it, it is as simple as that. People are picking out everything single thing! And it's not like it is a bad anime, and code geass and this are completely different, how can you compare the two?! Also to the people bagging out shu, how the hell have you expected him to act and behave in this anime, you can't get a very insecure kid, which was shown at the very start, to become some 'badass' or 'hero'. Of course he's going to be a very untrusting and unsure character! Hare's death was sad but why the hell should that make this anime bad? The plot isn't even that bad either, and I am quite a fan of this anime. People should have more respect for the directors of this anime instead of criticizing it, it's not like you're making this anime are you? P.s sorry for the rant, just don't understand why people are watching it if the don't like. |

| The sad part is the two whiners who feel bad for liking such a flawed show don't even understand how to use the quote function properly . If anything it's a self-fulfilling prophecy and further proves that anyone who enjoys Guilty Crown is a child (possibly only mentally) and/or doesn't understand the intrinsic details of what makes media flawed or not flawed. They quoted me, and then added their replies IN the quote. LMAO. Ah, such is life for a Guilty Crown fan. Silverfang18 said: It's an anime, they are aloud to make unrealistic things seem realistic, that's the great thing about animation. Cop-out.

Oh, and I recommend working your spelling so don't embarrass yourself anymore.

Convenient. kamikaze_1996 said: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Wise man.

Hare's entire body was crystalized, so of course she would shatter into "pixie dust" (as you so "brilliantly" put it). False. She had crystals on her body, but she was still 80% flesh, and then... poof! Pixy dust. I really hope you're being ironic. I really really hope so, because if you're not I have bad news for you. |

Trance_Kuja90 said: freezie said: almost sad how much people criticize this anime. and the parts about it being like code geass is because the people who are doing Code geass are also doing this. The anime gets to much shit from people and why? cliché sure but the feeling around the characters are brilliant just like code geass. And the OST is super good. If u want to make an anime good you need to have these points. it would be a hell of a boring thing if nothing happened and shu was just some badass guy all the time like people seems to want. Go watch seinen instead of this if youre not pleased! Most of the people hating on this just pretend they are serious otaku's while liking even worst shit. Its really sad how some people want attention. Quoting myself so that allyourelaggingmeorwhatever kid reads it again aparently it was too hard for him to understand the first time |

Ikano said: o_o .....man.... I know sacrificing Hare was necessary to force Shu to change (because of course they're saving Inori until the end for who knows what) but still.... NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! HARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yeah seriously.....use her void to fix a car. THAT WAS THE DUMBEST IDEA EVER SOUTA! I felt bad for him in the beginning but after this. STAY IN THE CORNER AND STICK TO OPENING CANS YOU DAMN JERK!!! I can sorta see Shu turning into some sort of ass-kickin overlord but who's mentally withdrawn to everyone else now.....(Cuz I doubt he turn into another bad-ass Gai anytime soon). Man he's sooooo broken now <_<; I agree wholeheartedly with this. Souta was a complete moron for asking Hare to try to fix a car. Of course it would paint a target on her back if shes trying to fix a car with her bandages. He really should stick to opening cans, but even a can opener is more useful in that regard since he'll probably botch that up somehow as well. I can empathize with Shu, he just lost the one person who trusted in him and believed in him without any conditions. Its no wonder he went ballistic, I hope he teaches the others not to screw around with him. Can't wait to see the plot development from here. This is clearly the best episode yet! 5/5 |

I simply forgot how deep and profound Shoe's transformation into a social darwinistic avenger, model "Mr. Dickhead 2.0 - GAI" is in reality, featuring such shining examples such as....you know, that really famous guy with the mustache in the 30s. This story can only end well now, I'm sure of it. |

Fundamentally there is no "ire", as I have nothing against the show personally; just reason and logic behind my writing which is, at it's core, "cold". The phenomenon is similar to when you laugh at something you know you shouldn't laugh at like a large bookshelf falling on an unsuspecting person. |

freezie said: almost sad how much people criticize this anime. and the parts about it being like code geass is because the people who are doing Code geass are also doing this. The anime gets to much shit from people and why? cliché sure but the feeling around the characters are brilliant just like code geass. And the OST is super good. If u want to make an anime good you need to have these points. it would be a hell of a boring thing if nothing happened and shu was just some badass guy all the time like people seems to want. Go watch seinen instead of this if youre not pleased! i lol'd this is not as brilliant as the characters of Code Geass. Making such a comparison is an insult to Code Geass. The story telling in this anime is DISMAL. |

I bet you are one of those kids that give naruto a 11 lmfao I guess you are entitled to your own opinion but I think a majority of the anime watching community thinks Madoka Magica is in at least the top 5 of anime of the year of last year......... |

Or are you one of those "it's popular, so it must be bad" people? This is off-topic btw, so we should not continue this conversation here. What pretendious list? I admitted already that i like many shows with flaws, because TASTES, but i try to leave them out once i give an honest opinion or rating. Also dont take my list seriously, i don't update it a lot (actually never) and i even abolished the idea of ratings because of the different factors you have to take into consideration while giving a rating. Btw i've watched magica. Anyway back on topic, my problem is that you and the other guy let excesive hate cloud your judgement, and spoil the fun for the rest. Example, someone of you mentioned the fact that the protagonists are kids. So what? I see this alot on every show and all the people i have asked have failed to answer me. Why is having a 17 year old protagonist bad? Just compare them to an adult, i like more younger protagonists because im interested in watching how each writer handles the process of becoming mature, and basically a younger one will go through a lot more stages and development, while the older one is already mature, something that happened of screen. Sure the young one will be a whiner, and the old one a badass. But what does that have to do with quality? Its pure taste. Needless to say that i too like some times adult protagonists (black jack, yang wen-li, etc). about the post above me: the majority in japan also believes that naruto is a top 10 manga, based on the sales. Why trust the "foreign" community and not the japanese one? Point is, dont bring up popularity, go on a debate with me and prove me why x,y,z is bad. And no i hate naruto. |

| Great ending to the episode and some great developments but at the same time, they killed off the best character of the show. They should have gone for Inori since she's much less interesting and could easily be disposed of without hurting the series (but well, she's the clone of Shu's sister and we still need her for pointless stuff blablabla...) |

| @trance kuja not gonna quote you to save space and spammage There is nothing wrong with younger protagonists but the point of this thread is to discuss and review the anime. If you are so easily dissuaded by the negative comments on this thread then don't come here! Don't read the comments! Madoka for example had a young protagonist and i am a not a big fan of loli type characters BUTT i made an exception to this because the character development was actually fluid,gradual, and good, buttttttttttt if you look at guilty crown Shu's character development is sporadic and feels very unnatural and rushed. (He turns from OMG rank system is bad to OMG fuck you all time to go darth vader on your asses) That is my own subjective view of this anime. I will probably end up finishing this series because I'm a completion-ist even though I think this anime is beyond saving especially after the episode of Mana. |

Nidhoeggr said: kamikaze_1996 said: imo the episode was just fine and me and many other people found hare's death to be heartbreaking and shu's transition to be awesome LOL. Also what's up all this "a man wiser than myself"/"a wise man once said" bullshit ? Are you people so insecure that you need to cloak your criticism in the words of other people? If yes, then congratulations: You are probably exactly the kind of person Shu should appeal to. And that's IN NO WAY a positive sign. yourelagginme said: 1. Still no adults whatsoever. Kid poowwwrrrr. 2. Fanservice because modern Anime is about selling Blurays of course. Substance? Plot? Logic? Pul-leeze. 3. "Distinction?! That's discrimination Shoe! How dare you rank our super powers that we didn't even know we had until 5 minutes ago xD Nevermind the fact that I have a random object in my chest, we all accept that blindly xD. This isn't forced drama at all!" 4. I'm Hare. I love spinless boys. All girls love the wimps. You're unasserativeness makes my women parts feel weird. 5. Errrrbody holding their voids. Shu's explanation for this from before: "I... t-think my powers changed" 6. Plothole: Hare uses her Void to heal the girl, but it would've been impossible for it to have been out because Shoe ran off to "distract" the missile launcher wielding military gundams (smart idea). 7. LOL. Car defies the laws of physics and dodges 4 missiles by moving side to side REALLY fast somehow (never mind the fact that Inori is driving) 8. No recoil from a shoulder mounted ROCKET LAUNCHER (it would probably nearly snap her spine) 8. LOL WHAT. Hare breaks and vanishes into magic pixy dust? LOL. WHAT? 9. Oh no you killed a rather irrelevant character. I am going to go berserk now like every typical shounen hero. This "twist" hasn't been done in the exact same way and forced down our throats 100 times since DBZ. I will now likely defy gravity and logic by having increased super abilities (with no explanation), and I will absolutely end up killing everything instead of dying from one bullet. 10. "is that rly shoe xD? sugoi no way. he mad now his powers increase when he mad. never mind logic." 11. Not ONE BULLET fired in the entire "final battle". LOL. 12. I am so dark and evil now xD i am guilty crown the blood pours within my veins, oh thy darkness i trust my sins. I am Shoe I will become king. Fin. (not the most typical rushed "twist" ever that everyone knew would happen since the moment Gai died of course) It's safe to say that this episode was so bad that I'm genuinely shocked even for Guilty Crown standards. 1/5 (Being extremely generous here) 5/5 post, man. But you forgot how the helicopters did target the running idiots instead of the wheelchair girl with the rocket launcher. Elite pilots. im back first of all what the hell are you on about? wise man my ass, i never said anything about being wiser than anyone, and i definitely didn't imply it, also i am NOT INSECURE ABOUT ANYTHING, i was just saying that i thought the episode was great and saying that im not the only one and the poll says 184+ people loved it and the positive comments prove why, i am not hiding behind peoples words im giving statistics, you guys are just nitpicking these stupid problems and trying to bash the anime with it because you cant face the fact that this was a good episode that many people enjoyed i mean COME ON most of those crap reasons why it was bad are mostly because it was physically impossible or its a minor cliche, ITS A BLOODY ANIME, IT ISN'T REAL, IT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE EVERY DAM MOMENT, i can name tons of anime that have tons of physically impossible things but are still great also the minor cliches like shu changing or hare dying happens in most action/shounen animes, it makes them good if presented well, which they did. every anime has cliches in them, if you hate the cliches so much you cant let even let some minor cliches pass, WHY THE HELL ARE WATCHING ANIME IN THE FIRST PLACE do you have any anime that you like that has 0 cliches that you think are good? i think not, if there was it would be a godly anime that i must watch at the end of the day you just want to bash this show for fun |

They quoted me, and then added their replies IN the quote. LMAO. Ah, such is life for a Guilty Crown fan. Silverfang18 said: It's an anime, they are aloud to make unrealistic things seem realistic, that's the great thing about animation. Cop-out.

Oh, and I recommend working your spelling so don't embarrass yourself anymore. Mkay pumpkin? kamikaze_1996 said: i could disagree with so many of them right now like many others but i dont have the time to, imo the episode was just fine and me and many other people found hare's death to be heartbreaking and shu's transition to be awesome But you had the time to baaaaaawww about my post. Convenient. kamikaze_1996 said: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Wise man. "butthurt is in the behind of the Guilty Crown fan" Wiser man. the guy on the last page said: Have you even watched this show!? Hare's entire body was crystalized, so of course she would shatter into "pixie dust" (as you so "brilliantly" put it). False. She had crystals on her body, but she was still 80% flesh, and then... poof! Pixy dust. I really hope you're being ironic. I really really hope so, because if you're not I have bad news for you. what the hell is with that wise man crap? did i really type that? and yea i was typing pretty fast because i was in a hurry like i said dumbass so of course i didn't have time to check my spelling and made little errors but of course you wouldn't just accept it Mr.Nitpicker now that my business is taken care of, you have my undivided attention for half an hour or so |

Guilty Crown is really bad anime, nothing changes that. I watch it because I still enjoy it even though it's objectively horrible. You are actually same as me, only difference is that I actually admit and see why the series is so bad. You just think that it must be good because you like it and for that reason want to defend it. There is really no point on doing so, imo. So called haters have every reason to hate it. Criticism they give it valid but you can't accept that. Ignorance maybe. |

parfaited said: Well shit. If they were going to kill someone off it should have been Inori. I hadn't been feeling too many of the other episodes but I liked this one. If Inori had died he's reactions would of probably been worst than this....I know many saw Hare x Shu as a possibility, but he loves Inori. Hare was just a really good friend to him, and I did feel bad for Shu when she died. However, saying that she was the only one who believed in him is crap..maybe she's the only who expressed it, but everyone else does, otherwise they would not have accepted him as a leader, and I'm not talking about the other students...just his close friends. What I did want to do was punch him when he forced the void out of Inori...I mean what the hell. I get that someone important to him just died, but I still wanted to punch him. Inori saw him, and she knew he wasn't his right mind, so that's why she pushed him away...and I completely understand... As for Shu, well he looks like he just went through a transformation..but I don't think its gonna lead him in the right track....just saying... |

| When I saw the new OP, I was wondering what was going to make Shu turn more serious, and now I know. Also, I think I know why Hare turned to crystal even though she was vaccinated: I believe it happens when your void is destroyed. There could be a chance that I'm stating something obvious, but who knows. It sucks that Hare had to die that way (I was in shock), and that it's mostly Souta's fault, but there needed something to move the plot along, if it wasn't Gai's death, then it had to be something else even bigger than that (cause & effect). This episode was the best, in my opinion, and I'm excited to watch the rest. |

| So, anyone got a HD raw of Shu at the end of the episode with that death glare expression of his? I found it incredibly badass. I'd appreciate it. ♥ |

| I am sorry but I can't agree that this new direction Shu will take is good. Sure he was kind to a fault, which in the end caused Hare to die. If he was more decisive then he would of never given those F ranks their voids. Which would mean not having to rescue them. I still think his kindness is important, this new Shu went from overly kind to at least by the looks of it. Heartless to a fault. Jesus balance Shu's character out already <_<. |
