Wanted to know what's the big deal with this anime, is it worth the hype/hate.


Events occuring too conveniently to suspend the disbelief; deus ex machinas; "typical highschool student," who can carry and swing a sword more or less his size, unbelievable MC; terrorists going blow for blow with the army; the hacker=god cliche (16:42)... GC tries to be serious but fails, so far I'd say it's worth the hate.

And it gets worse? LOL.

Pretty amazing start! The animation is superb, I hope the whole show is like this!

Gai was insane, I hope there's a lot more hand to hand in this. I've been needing another show like this!

I was planning to wait until it was finished, and watch straight through, but I've heard a lot of good things about it, and was caught up with all my weeklys. Now I'm not, now I've got 16 more episodes to catch up on.

Urahara Out!!

First thought: nice art! Nice pan as well... But why in a unicorn's name, is there a lighthouse in the middle of a city???
Beautiful sounds. EARGASM. RAINBOWS TO MY EARS. 
Oop. A ref to YouTube. Awkward provocative bird lady say what? And now there is a sonar radar somewhere.
Second thoughts: I'm liking Shu at the moment. He's really quiet and calm. And that girl is really nice too.
"I'm dense? Maybe it's true that my mind works out of step with everybody else's. It's just that I don't know what to say to other people. So I hide my nervousness and go along with what they say. That's how I've made the quasi-friendships in your life." I FEEL YOU SHU. I FEEL YOU. YOUR BRO OREEMOR GOT YOU RIGHT HERE. I was once like that so I can relate to this introduction to Shu. 

...

He has a supercomputer in a rundown area. Where anyone can just waltz in. Really. 
Anyway, she has a beautiful voice. It sorta sounds like the song Zelda plays on the harp for me. I mean Link ;)
She led them to where she was thanks to the blood she was dripping all over the place. 

Oooh the logo for the transition is shiny. Shiny shiny. 
Inou whatever her name is has really provocative clothing. That's right, I'm harsh judging right now (it's late okay? This is what happens when I stay up late >.<)

He thrusted his hand into her chest and brought out a pillar of rock? No... It's a... gun? Oh a sword. So this is the power of Guilty Crown. 

Yeah. The first part where Shu is watching a video of Inori was really suggestive. This was why I had not started watching it. Back when I did not have my MAL account, I just wandered aimlessly in search of new anime, and Guilty Crown was one of the new anime stuffs.

And that's the end of the show!

The production values were good for the most part and the CGI didn't feel completely out of place like it does in some shows. There was still some camera panning instead of actual animation but the director hid it better than other shows (at least I think so). I liked how the OP was interjected with the intro of the show. I also like how the character while still a teen is a bit older than the 14 and 15 year olds I've been seeing alot in recent shows I've watched.

The music like others said was nice. Though her outfit was a little lolworthy. I have no problems with fanservice but I think it's better if the creators are a bit more sly about how they showcase it. This girl looks like an extra NPC from Final Fantasy or something.

The overall art direction is pretty neat. I especially like the controlling of mechs by remote a la drone pilots except with more feedback (what good is a mecha show if you don't have pilots screaming in agony due to psychic feedback?). It's all very futurisitc I feel more so than Code Geass, which so far this show seems to draw from at least in the general scheme of terrorists, secret experiment, mysterious girl who escapes with said experiment and a young highschooler gaining power from said girl/experiment by mistake

Finally started this. But to be honest, since I just finished rewatching Code Geass for the don't-know-how-many-times, the first episode reminded me so much of Code Geass. The changing of district's name, mysterious girl, the robots, and of course, "the power of the king".

I'm having a good expectation towards this anime and hopefully it will separate itself from my comparison with Code Geass. Many would had mentioned this - I also have an issue with Inori's outfit. (Is this the trend nowadays?) And also the idea of pulling a weapon out of a girl's body.

Great music, great animation. As expected by Production I.G. :)

I don't get it, what warranted him to help her? For all he knows, he is just helping a filthy terrorist by delivering that device. Yes, I guess he is a fan of her songs, but that does not give him a half good reason to even think of helping her. If it were most people, they would have turned in the device to the badass who caught the terrorist.

I also don't like how he ran in randomly with absolutely no plan other than to die. It was absolute luck that she happened to be a super weapon he could use to destroy the robot. If she was just a normal person that happened to be part of a terrorist organization, he would have been screwed and looked super stupid for running in for no reason.

Ahhhh, some parts just kind of tick me off, but I have high hopes that it will get better.

Sentimental at the beginning and decent midway, not very interesting since wimpy guy gets stronger and wins. Well I enjoyed the singing and how well made inori is.

Well, finally starting this after months of hesitation. Quite a lot of people seem to dislike this series.

For the most part, this episode was a nice start to the show. Have yet to see why this show is terrible, though people do say it gets bad later on. Great OP and ED, nice background music (quite unique, my first time hearing rock-ish music as BG music, excluding NANA) - I like it^^ Hmm, Shu isn't that annoying to me, at least yet; he seems to have trouble finding who he really is.

Well, I'm going in to this series without much expectation (plus, someone told me how this series ended as well -.-); but hoping I'm surprised^^

I couldn't even get past 10 minutes of this anime, until a friend told me that there was this scene where a blonde badass comes by and saves the MC. Am I just being too critical over how boring and generic the first 10 minutes were?


Nope.
Actually, the first episode was probably the best as it didn't have that many possibilities to fuck the story over back then.
Well, it still is retarded but not that much of a gigantic trainwreck it became later on.

IMO it started to turn into shit around episode 3. Before that it was still bearable despite the blatent lack of logic and common sense.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Wow is all I can say about this anime so far. The music is great, the animation are fantastic, and there seems to be a very mysterious atmosphere at work in this anime. I went into Guilty Crown now really knowing anything about it, but I'm glad I did decide to try it out.

So this is a Christmas anime right? All i remember from the synopsis is the word Christmas. So naturally i thought it would Christmas themed! Where are my Christmas trees and lights??? At least put some snow in the background!

Oh yeah and we're only one episode in and already shit is going down. It's also reminding me an awful lot of Code Geass, but i'm sure that's been mentioned ad nausium.

What wasn't mentioned in the episode is why was the kid living in an abandoned university? Shouldn't that be locked down? Hopefully this will be answered.

Not impressed as of yet, but I don't judge a series by a single episode. Animation is top-notch but characters haven't pulled me in yet. Code Geass is light years ahead as far as the first episodes are compared. I'll keep watching though. 3/5

This has serious potential, although most of this episode felt like it belonged later in the series. I'm getting a sort of Code Geass/Darker than Black vibe, which isn't helped much by the fact the voice actors are so similar.
