Inori Yuzuriha = Best Part of This Show. Just saying~

Though, on the other hand, I really do like Shu; it's as if he's a likable wishy-washy protagonist, which I guess stems from the idea that his character can hit a little close-to-home within some people, such as myself. Not to mention, Inori's line, "Does a person have to have friends?" really struck a chord with me, too.

Overall, as of right now, this show might be a little on the average side, but I really appreciate some of things it does, even if they're only subtle or minor points. Plus, the art's still amazing as ever~

Correct me if i'm wrong. But i think Yahiro must saw Inori too when Shu was asked to join FP.
So why it's just Shu who was getting arrested?

Inori was unconscious while hidden in a corner during that fight. Shu actually openly fought people with that VOID SWORD.

All the plusses of this show:
- Inori. SOOOOOOOO MOOOOOOEEEEE! Seriously I love her almost as much as Kanade/Mikoto. I'd seriously cuddle her. Probably because she's a lot like Kanade like someone else mentioned. And shit is she dedicated to the wimpy male lead. There aren't many women out there who are nearly that dedicated. Wimpy male lead should just admit he luffs her too.
- DAT OST. DO WANT
- DAT ANIMATION
- Gai is seriously GAR! And has super eyes. And is super smart. And is pretty damn strong. On that video announcement he was the only one with the balls to go in without a mask and be like "HEY BITCHES FEAR ME!" Shit if Iskander didn't make his gar entry in Fate/Zero I'd think Gai was the most gar character of this show (he's 2nd to Iskander now :P).
- wimpy male lead actually is pretty smart
- wimpy male lead's mom worked on the genome project. Could make some very interesting character chemistry later on
- That new bad guy is pretty freaking awesome. Gives me Hisoka vibes

Expecting shit, will confirm when done

Last two episodes were shitty. Was extremely cliche, and character development was on par with a brainless harem. The animation/art is good, and so is the OST and opening. I'll have to see how this episode goes.

Well I just finished it. Best episode so far, and that's sadly not saying much. I guess this COULD be decent if they don't copy and paste Geass's plot and the generic male lead. If this actually does something decent like develop each character effectively, as well as come up with a decent storyline, this COULD be decent. That includes not portraying the male lead like a retarded idiot, hopefully he doesn't stay like that for the entire season.

2.5/5, has potential if it stays "original", by original I don't mean fan service every ten seconds to hold attention, I mean something originally good. Not this cliche BS that's been plaguing this so far.

I want to see Inori smiling since she doesn't seem to got any emotion at all, it must been happend something in the past.
If Inori just killed him there this would never happend but Shu would hate her for killing him.
I just got a vibed that Yahiro wasn't a nice guy, a guy that taking drugs that's is no good.
He still told that GHQ Shu was part of resistances.

This is a bad sign thought, will Gai and the other save him?
What will Inori react in the train when she saw him getting push

Are they making this in the end becuase they want us to wait for the next episode?
Now I want to know what happend.

Inori: Can I stay with you forever?

What's with that?
I still got a feeling of they knew it together in the past.
They relationship sure have bee rushing.

Well, somehow the plot will still going on when they are busted but now it doesn't seem like he can go back to school.

It's like Produciton IG and the CG writers aren't even trying with this. The episode just fits all the same generic cliches and tropes to a tee. Predictable transfer student. Predictable new roommate. Predictable friend involved. Come on. They can at least try to bring it up to Code Geass's standards.

So they answer last episode's plot hole with another plot hole. How the fuck does Gai read other people's voids? Generic anime storyboarding predicts that Gai was clearly experimented on with Void tech when he was a child.

And really. The "rules" for drawing out voids is just stupid. "You can only pull voids from people 17 years old or under"? What the fuck is the point of that? That sounds god damn stupid.

At this rate, Guilty Crown is going to end up being the biggest disappointment of the season. They're hardly even trying to be "original" if all they do is follow the most generic and classic anime tropes there are. At least the ending is some what suspenseful.

Totally on with this one Wasabi, it is fucking stupid. Plain and simple. There should be no age limit from this power at all and already it is at the limit that the void applies to humans. They could have freaking put animals too. They could have put lots of other things. It should be all living organism as the possibility of the void.

So maybe that's what Gai's team of Blade Children underaged kids (that somehow are more competent at war then full-fledged adults) are for.
...
But seriously. There's a sword that gives you superhuman strength, agility, stamina, ability to fly at mach speed, fire wave projectiles (and it's damn sharp to boot). There's a shield-firing thingy which lets you deflect homicidal lasers that can level a few city blocks.
...
And there's a refrigerator. And an antique vase.

Void Genome is too situational to be used properly in practical combat... But who knows. It's capable of mass massacre based on what we've seen so far with only the sword and kaleidoscope.

well if you could gather the people with useful voids you could hold considerable power.

even so, this means he cant draw it out to save himself.

still, he was quite naive thinking that a drug addict would do the right thing. addicts simply do what it takes to get their next fix.

The main problem is the age limit thing is really not something you can cover up or find an explanation for that wouldn't sound like complete bs even when we're watching not attentively.

I mean suspension of disbelief has limits. FMA's element bending was obviously fictional, yet contained that realistic aspect (the chemistry) that made it really fascinating. Heck even magic-based shows have to keep to certain rules and stay consistent. This age limit thing is just awkward. A power that must work specifically on 17 year olds and younger which was developed by PROFESSIONAL RESEARCHERS WHO HAPPEN TO BE 40+ YEARS OLD just sounds stupid. Why develop powers you can't even use? More importantly, who tested these abilities?

Or in the case of why the use of voids on animals is unknown: isn't it unethical to test superpowers on human beings before testing on test animals first? That's why this power is just too much bs for some to handle. And "the shape of the heart" thing is just too BLEH.

There better be some explanation later why Inori's such a robot! Right now I'm just hoping this backstabbing will help develop Shu's personality. Maybe he'll turn into some kind of cold bastard! Whatever happens I just hope he stops being so wimpy! Hopefully he'll go through at least some form of torture from the bad guys, since that'd be interesting. :D

This episode was way more interest to me than the last one. And some plot holes averted! Yaay! Though this void power still doesn't make much sense to me, I'll put that matter aside for now.

Shu's friend sure showed his true colors after the mention of the name "Sugar".

How gullable can Shu be?! His friend goes from furious one minute to being all buddy buddy the next. I'll not tell your secret if you don't tell mine, yeah right!

How's he going to get out of this one?

This show has such promise, but so far it isn't living up to it. The characters are coming off rather flat and unlikable and the story is very inconsistent. I sure hope it gets better!

Gai can see the voids with his eyes. You didn't saw his eye changing in episode 2? They're not silly. They give us every episode some interesting facts (some are not very visible), you just have to open your eyes >.<

That bit right there is what really annoyed me as well. I mean has there ever been a more pointless retarded power restriction than that? I mean it serves no purpose and is just not needed. Are we going to have a load of teens fighting shu all the time now? I would like some adults to be on the front lines as well.

Okay so i understand if people wanna rant about the first 6mins but for highschool life experience it wasn't that bad.

Hey people from last week remember that plot hole you wanted explained in the same episode well here ya go Even the MC was wondering about it and you got your Answer! happy?~.

this lead to void finding training poor souta he was just listening to his beatz only to be wondering what the hell he was doing,while one thing this next part showed me the Future social netwrork is scary guess word spreads fast even in that big of a school haha.

and Finally the last part i knew something was up with yahrio as someone else stated If shu doesn't learn to trust people better after this i don't know what will,with all that being said this episode had it's up and downs (+1 for better fanservice) but if GC can do More cliffhangers like that train part it will easily keep me wanting to watch it even more.

Okay, point is, this anime is looking 5 BILLION times better than BRS (2012) right now.

I have so many words I'd like to say to BRS' first PV, but nothing comes out because it depresses me so much. If you want to hate on something that was POTENTIALLY good, go hate on that.

It deserves it.

I'm not satisfied with that explanation Gai gave, sure we now understand that he can see people's void but...it was still just handled badly, I think. Honestly, all this series has going for it is the pretty visuals, so far. Though, I will admit that the twist at the end has me mildly interested going forward.

Haha! I laugh at that part where he looked at Inori's legs expecting a panty shot.

Other things that I wanna mention.

- The guys at the class notices Inori as the famed vocalist. Finally
- Souta being a jerk to Shu. Wanna punch him in the face.
- So it's clear that the lady scientist is Shu's mom and Shu doesn't know that she's
involve in the Void Genome project that he acquired
- Void only work on minors? What the hell is that? It's really awkward. They need an explanation for this.
- Yahiro unexpectedly bought out Shu at the GHQ by pushing him out at the train. More like it looked he lightedly push him.Wish Inori pulled out her gun and kill him.
- Shu maybe wimpy for now but I'm sure he'll change. Ever heard of character development?

- Inori is super cute. Prettiest girl this season and that epic face at the end is epic.
- Inori's bra is pink, her panties maybe pink as well. *tries to imagine*

So far, I'm really enjoying this even with the possible plot holes, nothing is flawless.. Err, then again, the romance part is the greatest allure for me right now. Something Geass-ic with romance would be a dream come true.

As for the seventeen and lower age thing, the AI in me says that it could be connected with puberty/growing stages. Hormones too, possibly. There's also the whole inner turmoil teens grow though. Plus, it never states that people over seventeen are unable to draw out voids, just that they can't be drawn from. It's also only a rule, maybe past a certain point in people's lives, they can't live with having their voids ripped out. So seventeen might be the highest age with definitely no repercussions to the other person.

Maybe next episode, Shu will try to tear it out of the GHQ dude. Mght show more insight.

EDIT: Or maybe puberty fills their void after seventeen? I think there's a sex joke somewhere in here.
