| Let's see... Daryl killing Daddy and his Lover, unexpected but fits with his character and what what they were building up to. The Shu to the rescue part was pretty much what I expected. The A.V. Club supports Shu, lending him their voids to get him to Airport. Hare's Viod definitely fits her character. Expect to see Shu using it to Save Gai's Life in the next episode. Loved the tenderness that Shu showed Hare when he drew her Void. Rolled my eyes at Tsugumi's cry: 'Shu, we need you. This is your fault for not coming with us.' Shu's having some sort of Breakdown and they don't care. Gai kicks him out of Funeral Parlour. Gai leads Funeral Parlour into a trap and it's Shu's fault. Noticed how Shu's Heroic BSOD, suddenly disappeared. Damn, they Glossed it over. Dan Eagleman, as much of a joke he was, at least he went out protecting Haruka, dieing like a man. RIP Haruka works with Inori to stop the spread of the Virus, broadcasting the new Song. She definitely shined during this episode. I hope that she continues to do so in coming chapters. While Shu and Company are rushing to the Airport. Alejandro Corner is sneaking into Veda, OOPS, I mean, Chief Keido is sneaking into Funeral Parlour's HQ to find something, someone, he calls Mana. Probably, the Girl from Shu's memories. ie The Queen. Just as Shu is reunitited with Inori. Ribbons Almark, Bushy eyebrows, appears from no where, using some sort of gateway, to snatch Inori, draw her Void and tries to kill Shu, Gai shields Shu. While I doubt that he's a Void Genome wielder, it's possible. I think that he's a counterpart to Inori, the same as her, but with a different role. Chief Keido has everyone dancing to his tune. He's drawn out Funeral Parlour's forces into a trap. Leaving their HQ undefended, while he sneaks in to Secure/Free someone, something hidden there. Funeral Parlour is blamed for the spread of the Apocalyspe Virus. The GHQ Commander is killed and He assumes command of all GHQ Forces. Funeral Parlour is on the verge of being destroyed. Only Haruka helping Inori broadcast her song and Shu coming to the rescue, go against his plan. All though, Ribbons, Bushy Eyebrows, snatching Inori was probably on Keido's orders. The Apocalyspe Virus reminds me of the 'Signal' from the 2005 series 'Threshold'. Anyone exposed to the 'Signal' was either killed imediately, Mutated horribly and then dieing, or transformed into to new improved Alien being with all of the Host's memories, knowledge and skills. The Signal/Infection could be spread by Sound, by Visual/Sight, through Electronic devices and eventually as an STD. Certain types of Foodstuffs were mutated and used to infect/transform unsuspecting people. What we were shown during Episodes 10 & 11, The Apocalypse Virus being braodcast to all of Tokyo, perhaps all of Japan, just reminded me of this. I expect the next episode, Lost Christmas, to be a flashback Episode, mainly told from Gai's point of view, as Gai lays dieing/recovering from his injuries. |

| FINALLY!!! A GOOD EP!!!! :DDD The entrance of Rock Lee kinda annoyed me though. It was sooooooo slow.... Frkn captain slow took forever to realise that something was warping behind her. And dammit his eyebrows piss me off as well lmao. 4.5/5 I must say, the animation for the end was absolutely amazing. And at least Dan went down like a man :D |

Aria_Amanchu said: Small bullet came out from a big hole. I was expecting some guts spilling out here and there. Well, the Endlave's gun has two barrels on it. An Anti-Tank cannon and an anti-personnel machine gun, housed above the cannon. Daryl used the machine gun to kill everyone without totaling the Control Room. We just got the viewer friendly blood splatter, not the realistic, large caliber machine gun blood splatter. |

| I was trying very hard to give this series the benefit of the doubt, but this episode was disappointing. The only good thing that I can say about it was that Gai died. Not that I have anything against the Gai: I wouldn't particularly mind if any or all of the motiveless, flat props that this show calls "characters" were to kick the bucket. |

I feel like this show would use Hare's void to save him. Hopefully not. If you look at Gai's injury, he was disemboweled, cut just below the ribs from left to right at a downward slant. Meaning this isn't quickly fatal wound. Painful, messy, eventually fatal, taking minutes for Gai to bleed out. Instead of across the chest, which would have slashed the Lungs and possibly the Heart, killing Gai far quicker, almost instantly if the Heart was cleaved. The revelation of Hare's Void, those bandages, makes it very likely that her Void will be used to save Gai. |

| Episode 11 really renewed my interest and excitement in this show even if its a cluster fuck.lol. Looks like im going to have to come off my "coward with powers" stance and call him Shu again. Yeah things felt rush but i was very happy at what im seeing even tho some of it was......well cliche?. Daryl Yan's batshit move wasn't really needed in my book but at the same time fit what we've seen of him. Just a crazy nut. Might not mean anything at all to a lot but i love the way Dan stood up to them. Showed real guts:). Overall: Theirs flaws into this really, it seemed so rush but at the same time i like what was presented as it was entertaining after some lackluster episodes lately imo so i can't come hard down on it. 4/5. |

| Was packed with more cheese then the entire state of Wisconsin. Not necessarily bad if you like that kind of thing but damn. Overall I'd say it was so-so. Could have been a lot worse, I suppose. A lot of the action seemed manufactured to me, though. All the Voids seemed to do something different then before to make the whole thing more flashy. How it seemed to me, anyway. Some involvement seems forced, too. If killing his brother was what it took to make Yahiro a friend he should have done it a long time ago. Yeah, not really but why Yahiro had any reason at all to help Shu is beyond me. |
| I liked the episode for what it was worth. Whatever the fuck that purple thing is at the end....I don't even know what to say that but maybe it'll look like Chaos from Sonic Adventure or something. As for Gai, if he dies, it'll be reminiscent of Kamina dying in Gurren Lagann. In a way, that would mean Shu = Simon and Gai = Kamina. Their relationship reminds of such a thing anyway so I'm interested to see what they do. As for Inori and Mana, I'm not quite sure how I feel about the song thing. It's an interesting concept but I want to see where they go with it. And of course, another mofo has a Void Power so Shu, you're in a load of shit right now. I have to wait two weeks, damnit. What am I gonna do? And Penguindrum just ended, argh. |
| As Shu sloooowly crossed the roof to Inori, my mind took a few seconds to think: "wait, this is episode 11 of 22, there is no way that we're going to get a happy ending at this point...". Sure enough.... I also don't think that Gai is gone for good. They invested enough in hinting at a possible relationship between Arisa and him that they either have to go through with it, or give them a really good death scene with lots of emotion and she isn't on the roof yet. And that is one really evil-looking giant purple twirly thing growing in the sky over Tokyo, how are they going to deal with that if both Gai and Inori are out of action? |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

| FINALLY! Shu certainly took his damn time to grow a pair. Geez. But otherwise, a great ep, one of the best yet. Good action, hell lotta suspense, and everything was just great. It was so tense throughout, I was breathless. ^^V But yeah, we all know Gai's gonna survive. It's a given. -.- That new guy Big-Brows looked kinda cool (minus the obvious). I wonder where he took Inori, though... I like this show, but up until this episode, Shu's been giving me problems, so I have a few conflicted emotions about this. However, the OST...amazing. My God, I love it! It's my favourite part of this anime, and this ep had some of the best tracks! ^^= |
| I'm still reasonably happy with this show. It isn't terrible, and it's straying into the realm of half-decent (up from the depths of mediocrity it was in a few episodes ago). With any luck it'll keep getting better little by little and we'll end up with a decent show overall. |
| new char the chick in all of shu's flashbacks? |
  |
| Best episode yet! And a new song! Hot dog! |
 |
| The "what would Gai do" scene and Gai "dying" is really reminds me feels really familiar: |
     |
| insert songs just make this anime a whole lot better then it is.. i expect more things from shu, if not, this anime won't get any better. |
tag©.androgynous  |
| I don't want to rant over all over again about those asspulls but for action, it was ok. So instead, I'll just praise DAT OST!! <3 Question still remains as to who Inori really is and why her voice can cure. |
Just saw the preview and here are my points:
PS: Pardon the shitty ass shots. Still not able to find ripper to get any video off a site. |
| This show has been criticized like no show that I've seen in a long time; but i honestly can say that i found this episode to be entertaining, Shu made slight (very slight but w/e its better than nothing) improvements so maybe if Gai really does die then we will have a Simon/Kamina scenario play out.It seems like next episode we will see a flashback so we get more back story and at the same time the fact that they introduced someone with the same power while cliche i think makes the story more interesting because seeing them fight with voids with the quality of graphics that this show has is something i would want to see. |
 |
| The ouma shu rollercoaster. From pansy-->to semi-non pansy-->back to pansy. Rinse and repeat. |
| I really enjoyed this episode, its a nice turning point for Shu finally.... Dan died like a boss. R.I.P (No Segai spinning this week xD) Im just wondering are they actually going to take any breaks or are they going to just go full on carry on with series? |
Edob0b said: Dan died like a boss. R.I.P (No Segai spinning this week xD) MAY GUTS BE WITH YOU DAN. RIP! LOL @ segai spinning so the plot improved! it certainly better right now still I don't like shu, inori or gai :x inori's song can cured the virus ehh... that new guy is voiced by paku romi :O the preview look interesting |
 |
| Things got even more epic, and I have no idea what's going on. And Dan's last moment... |
andreyue said: btw, take a look at this link, Episode 12 preview is cool, we're FINALLY getting some answers there: http://www.guilty-crown.jp/story/ Interesting. It involves with Shu's memory, which involves with Inori's past counterpart or something like that.

AnimeUltima has one right now streaming, and one for download. You could always be signed up with Funimation. Go Daryl in the beginning! Let's see if this episode pulls through. Kanto Region? Reminds me of Pokemon. So the guy talking about Schuichiro or whatever last episode was another void user. Eh. Episode was alright. Nothing fantastic though. The Kanto Region is the biggest region within Japan...... It wasn't just a fictional name in Pokemon Yumekichi11 said: tsubasalover said: YES! Can you say:What?? Someone else with the same power as Shu??? And he (Paku Romi) got Inori!! Shu meet Evil Shu! I was so right! I knew the counter rival will come! Well guess what? I WAS RIGHT! More later.

Guilty Crown is like what would happen if 4kids mixed Code Geass and No.6 together to make a cheesy rip off His dead supposed to be dead? and it was Yahiro's brother, not his friend.

GodlyKyon said: I don't get it, WHY do people like Gai or Inori? All they have is their looks basically. Um you cannot possibly compare Gai and Inori. Inori has ZERO personality. As for Gai, he controls Funeral Parlor and all their attacks on everyone. If it wasn't for him, the story wouldn't progress and we'd end up with a slice of life anime surrounding Shuu's idiocy. |
