I should't expect too much from people who pull out a school festival after a terrorist attack- |

The week it happened the country stopped. The 2nd week Baseball/Football continued. So after 2weeks whats wrong with them trying to lift their spirits? Granted this story is supposed to be on a greater scale, but we're talking about a group of kids who've been cooped up in their school for 2weeks trying to ease the tension. |

| I guess Shuuichirou made quite a comeback... Ayase's void was quite lovely as well. All in all, another excellent episode. |
| They don't have anything better to do, so why not attack a school?! No basis on that... Ayase is the best in the show. Why not kill off Inori and make her the lead? Seriously.. Hated Gai, was glad he died, but party after his death? Yea, I'd totally do that to a comrade/friend ._. Daryl = Reason I'm bothering with this series. |

| I MISS A LOT THE OTHER OP!!!!!!!!!! T^T!! I don't like the new op, and the ed is not so bad.... T^T Now I'm listening My Dearest... T^T I didn't love the episode ¬¬, just was ok.... Well, I have to say I don't know why almost cry beacuase of Ayase... :') |
| -Ayase has a meltdown, but manlier than shoe's one. Not surprised. Kinda cliche "failed to protect him" speech. :/ -Deciding to do a cultural festival has me going =_= to the writers. -Ayase's void is robotic legs, go figure. -It seems Shoe's new kings power has a limit to one person retaining consciousness, as shown by Inori fainting. -The pedo has become the president, lol. Pretty good ep (well at least i enjoyed it), though ridiculously stupid motive behind the antagonists this ep. I'm liking the new ost, especially that song that plays during the combat sequences between AyaShoe and the terrorists. The new op is alright, but it kinda lacks that certain 'oomph'. I think I like the new ed over the previous one, i tend to favour more upbeat songs. However, im kinda dumbfounded how the school just completely dismissed in a matter of minutes, how Ayase and Shoe wrecked a humvee with armed men, and a military grade Endlave, not even mentioning how Shoe drew a massive sword from Inori and how Ayase has robotic legs. Is Inori really that entrancing? O.o The quality in the animation/drawings, more specifically the character faces, are really taking a hit as well. :S 3/5 That said, AYASE X SHU! F*CK YEAHHHHH!!!!!! :DDDDD Tsugumi x Daryl has begun fruition as well :D Also, yourelagginme said: -Tsugami not recognizing Daryl, an extremely high ranking person in the military that the group she swore into and risks her life for is fighting against, who even does attention-grabbing things like administering public executions, and is the son of the ex-highest (because he's dead now) ranked person in the military period. -Daryl thinking JUST GLASSES is an adequate disguise to infiltrate the place with "terrorists" who have the power of a small army. LOL. Yeah, that really was stupid. LOL |

| Nice episode! Looking foward to more. |
 |
| I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote somewhere else: 1) School cultural festival = another anime plot cliche. And there WAS maid cosplay! Just as I predicted last episode! 2) Writers officially make "durr I don't know" as the explanation for Void usage rules changing. Not sure how I feel about Ayase's Void. Cool but kinda belittles the character. I feel emo because I couldn't protect Gai (we'll ignore Shu killed him on purpose, his death was really an "accident") and now I feel useless. So my void will allow me to fight by only proving my disability really was my weakness. W-T-F. And last but not least...  Nuuuuh-Uhhhh. Don't even try to be intellectual, GC. You're not even a tenth of Ergo Proxy. Your philosophy content ranks at the same level as Elfen Lied. The only thing Kafka-esque about you is the quality of your writing. |
| I'm watching this for Ayase and Tusugumi. Inori is just...argh! |
| Ayase was cool with her own Void but posing back-to-back with Shu was just... Also, they always have to ruin a nice moment — in a worse way. OMAIGAD DARYL. I love the megane ♥ With Gai gone... I'm gonna watch this for Daryl and my ships. |
| OP is fine but with nice visuals. ED is good. This ep was so-so. :/ |
| Damn it, what's the hurry for? It is like they are just rushing everything. |
LieselotteHeart said: Damn it, what's the hurry for? It is like they are just rushing everything. I do think that it would be better if it got 50 episodes. That way they wouldn't rush it, and it'd be better paced. A lot of the simplified explanations stem from the anime not being long enough to fit everything in. |

| (Wheelchair girl falls out of chair) …. (Two guys walk up to her) Oh hell no… (Start chatting her up) Really?! Really guilty crown? (Immediately try to molest her) Sigh…this is just sad. It was bad enough to pull that scene that every anime fan has seen since his very first harem but this is just too far. Apparently in Japan if any men see a women on their own they will try to rape her. Even if she is in a wheelchair. On that note go back to code geass you Kallen/Nunnally hybrid. But I have to admit that I burst out laughing at that pose Shu and Ayase made. It was like Ayase was about to fly away and then thought "Oh shit I forget the pose!" and goes back to back with Shu. |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| Shu and Inori looks cute together in the OP So wtf at the end, the old guy didn't die... |
| The song they played during the fight was great. Every single episodes makes me want the OST more and more. |
I find nothing of the following, face palming at all. This is due to the following in the spoiler In other words every single Ayase x Shu shipper was going gaga over it. It did sheer Justice to shippers of them. This episode truly was the best in Ayase x Shu now if only a kiss would come. We know OP wise that may be with Inori. |
| I would appreciate it if anyone could answer some of the questions I have. 1. What caused Shuichiro's to want to mate/marry with the apocalypse virus to create a new world in the first place? Because he's coo-coo for coa coa puff? -.- 2. Why didn't Shu and Gai get infected/killed by the virus from the first Lost Christmas when Mana exploded? They both were at ground zero. 3. Why couldn't Yuu (kid who also have power of Kings) just kill Shu and end this dreaded series right then? This was when Yuu first appeared to kidnap Inori (end of EP 11). He swung the sword to kill Shu but Gai appeared out of thin air to take the hit. All he needed to do was swing that sword again and make us all happy. Sigh... It's a damn shame to see an anime with top of the line art/animation/design with such crap plot/story/execution. brb pleasuring myself to relieve stress |

| wow i must say when i saw the preview of the festival, i thought this ep would of been boring but it wasn't, i love the new op and the ending, i love ayase's void, it kind of reminded me of lenalee's dark boots from d-grayman but i wonder who pulled out her void before, gai obviously knew about her void due to him being infected and can see voids but it couldn't have been him who pulled it out and yea i admit i liked that ayase and shu moment where took down the bad guys and had that cool pose even though it was slightly cliche, also it gets interesting at the end where they are gonna quarantine the people and exterminate them, it sort of reminds me of resident evil 4/5 for this ep but i gave it 5/5 because i liked the new op and end |
 |
| Some great stuff and some ridiculous as usual but overall Guilty Crown is still highly entertaining and deliciously over-the-top. |

| Still cliche and predictable shit. Yet it's so much more watchable now. Shu's slightly less irritating, although he lost his chance to actually grow a pair during the beginning of this episode. Amazing OST still. Was actually enjoyable despite it being mediocre; especially that extremely convenient void. |
 |
| So what is it gonna be now.. Inori x Shu or Ayase x Shu? but i prefer Ayase x Shu <3 Damn those legs. Ayase was finally able to walk with her legs again, im happy for her . can't wait for the next episode to see if the people in loop 7 are gonna be exterminated @ChibiBunni92 i love that soundtrack too. unfortunately, it got cut off all suddenly. The new OP/ED were also great |
mdz said: Still cliche and predictable shit. Yet it's so much more watchable now. Shu's slightly less irritating, although he lost his chance to actually grow a pair during the beginning of this episode. This. lol But hey, I really liked how my fav char (Ayase) got more screening time in this episode. And all conspires now to Shu taking over as the new leader of the Undertakers? xD I gotta say I wanted that because of the combination "Gai's too perfect x MC is too annoying". It makes me think MC can be a little bit better that way and hey, Gai's outta the way now and that Loop 7 extermination put things back into motion huh?... We'll see. |
| I really enjoyed the episode, finally more Tsugumi and Ayase yaaaayyyy. Daryl was pretty cool in the episode, loved his glasses :3 Inori was meh as usual :/ the concert wasnt needed, very predictable end to the episode with the tv broadcast, overall enjoyed the episode. Love the ayase void! |

Not to mention the virus is said to make people go insane. If you look back at all the things that happened, People trying to take advantage of other people would be pretty common especially in the scenario they're in. |
 |
| much better than that mess of a last episode even if less stuff happened, love the new op, it also looks like shu will be pulling a gurren and become mor elike gai, glad he isnt a emotional wreck ove rhis death like i thought hed be, ayase is awesome, inori has emotions, characters are likable, much opportunity in future eps ide say this brought a 6 to a 7 for my score, if it really gets good maybe even a 8, but the 9 range is out of the question at this point, |

Day2Dream said: flaxman85 said: 2. Why didn't Shu and Gai get infected/killed by the virus from the first Lost Christmas when Mana exploded? They both were at ground zero. Haxs. shu didn't get infected, just gai, he somehow covered him at ground zero :O On a side note... where's my insert song :O |
 |
| I hope when Shu becomes leader of Undertaker he doesn't just turn into a Gai clone. |
| My gawd, OP2 is so good. Better than My Dearest. and Ayase..good lord, even more adorably badass than ever before. |
| Some people are making to big a deal about the school festival thing; i mean i think it was mentioned but after 9/11 granted it took time but life did move on; its human nature to do such things to cover over pain since they can't deal with it on their own; they group together to move on together. I actually liked this episode because i think Shu actually improved a little (ya i said it) and with how he looked in the OP it seems the progression will only improve since he actually looked bad ass in the OP, this show isn't capable of matching it but if it can be similar to the whole Simon/Kamina scenario than it would acceptable since Simon by most opinions did improve drastically. The whole episode was fairly cliche and unoriginal but i honestly can say i didn't see the ending coming; i said it last time but anything after the hell the city went through was something i couldn't guess, but the way they went didn't seem so bad; i do think however that with more episodes this show wouldn't be as criticized since it could provide better explanations and have better pacing thus making the plot devices seem less predictable. |

In your own interpretation. It's cool but like I said, it doesn't prove anything. They implied to the max... That's the most logic reason for the title. and the most logic reason for them to be using their powers is that Shu is suppose to "get over" being a Guilty Crown Nocturcity said: That OP was way too Shu x Inori...bitch is annoying. It looks like Shu will get better over time, but Inori...still has no personality and isn't likable, can't stand her, Ayase is so much better...I'd rather he end up with Ayase, Hare or Tsugumi then Inori. And Ayase's void! Loved it! Really reminded me of Air Gear. Agreed 100% here. Inori is such a bad heroine... |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Well this episode basically just fleshes out Ayase. Unfortunately they didn't do that before so her thoughts and feelings in feel kinda...rushed and cliche. Don't like the new op. Seems like Shu will finally become badass. Or something. Btw If ShuXInori is still valid does that mean it's incest? Since Inori is clone of Mana. Or something? |
| Is it wrong for a growning boy to be a sucker for a good romance? |
BXRBudda said: Btw If ShuXInori is still valid does that mean it's incest? Since Inori is clone of Mana. Or something? No Inori is a artificial human being. She was basically created as a new body for Mana's "soul" . Basically a empty shell for Mana which is why Inori is sorta emotionless. |
| |
| Why would Shu need to resurrect Funeral Parlor ? With his new-found abilities he'll match up well against GHQ. At this point, it seems extremely likely that he will attain the ability to extract an unlimited amount of voids without anyone fainting. Imagine Inori's sword with Arisa's shield. |
