| Oo Ayase x Shuu moment. Wth Gai. You are just spouting nonsense. Old Shu was worthy and the current one isn't, keep dat blahblahblah to yourself. Inori... so she forever lives inside him now. Except Shu is blind now. Gah I really find the whole blind thing weird tho. Like it's just there to make us empathize with Shuu. 5.99/10 for this. Had its inconsistencies and plotholes. but I guess I still managed to watch it 'cause it had a few decent ideas. |
 |
| Wow Gai what a hero. =_= Totally makes sense why you flipped over to the other side without barely saying anything until the very last episode. So how exactly does Shu's power work again? He absorbs the virus and takes their weapon and then returns them back again before he does right? This guess is assuming that he would die if Inori hadn't saved him. So now we have a ballerina and an idol in this anime. Nice. So was Mana always the sadistic little devil that she was? She was villainized to the point where we saw no good points in her besides her beauty and didn't feel bad when she died. Pity Gai who only had feelings for her in this world. Like damn even Shu didn't feel bad or even remember his sister. What happened to the boy who had the other void power thing? |
 |
| Inori left him all alone after he came all the way trying to save her? what happened to being i'll always be by your side? eh i guess that's an okay ending. 6/10 |
| A very emotional and (in my opinion) depressing ending. If Shu AND Inori would have died, i would be so much happier about it. The Story has indeed some flaws and can improve on many parts, but nevertheless i really enjoyed the whole Show. It had emotional ups and downs and sometimes some fan service aswell ;) I was about to give it a 7/10 but the music... OMFG THE MUSIC WAS SO AMAZING! I CRIED EVERYTIME I HEARD INORI SINGING! Thats why in my Opinion This show deserves a 9/10 even if it has some major flaws that could've been easily prevented. |
 |
| A decent ending, glad to see Inori's soul is still living on in Shu's body. There was 1 soundtrack in the series that stood out for me and that was the battle soundtrack "ßios". The Adam and Eve and especially a lot of the scenes near the end with Shu and Inori / Mana reminded me of Mirai Nikki. The "villains" lacked some motivation in my opinion and most of the characters felt a bit bland. Shu eventually staying alive ... while it was beautiful seeing him save Inori's soul ... also didnt feel right with me. Despite all that, it was entertaining, I doubt the story will stick with me though. 8/10 |

| A sad ending...i didn't want inori to die(though saw it coming),would have been better if both shu and inori died,though i have to say i'm a bit disappointed with this episode...expected some action between shu and tsutsugami, but there was almost none. Why did they let Arisa LIVE but Inori DIE,damn it! I read some interpretations about ending...it makes me feel the ending is a bit happy, still, it is a sad one for me(i really wanted inori alive). |

| If the series ended with Gai's and Mana's deaths in episode 12, this show would have been so much better. After that it all went downhill. Gai being brought back to life and his motivation were very uncool, Keido's reasons for wanting the apocalypse were ???, The Daath kid was pointless, everything fell apart. I feel that the best character in the series is Daryl, probably the only interesting character (and Gai, but only pre-ep 12 for Gai) All in all, a wasted potential, had high hopes for the show at the start. 6/10 |
 |
| Wow, this ending was a trainwreck, Shu just survives inexplicably, got heavily crippled, apparently lost his friends and now Inori's soul is living inside of him or something. Why do writers think shitting on the MC for the sake of shitting on the MC automatically makes a show good or deep? Even when Shu was in Hitler mode, he didn't really do anything that would warrant such a fucked up conclusion for him. I don't think Guilty Crown is nearly as bad as people make it out to be, outside of these last couple of episodes which felt rushed as hell, but holy shit did it leave me unsatisfied. |
 |
| Excellent ending. Inori was one of the best characters of any anime I’ve watched imo, even with as few lines and few things she physically did. Gai’s motive for bringing Mana back was very strong too, although wasn’t a huge fan of his direction. Inori sacrificing herself and Shu finally accepting the thread from her was beautiful, a tear-jerking moment. Everyone’s void being absorbed and the virus being cleansed was beautiful, and Shu actually surviving thanks to Inori was great. I’m surprised by all the hate this anime gets, it is a strong 10/10 for me. Especially going out on the original ED, really strong and powerful ending. |
 |
| So technically, Shu is committing incest. Inori being the clone of Mana, has the exact inner and outer DNA of his sister...but a different soul. I felt like they wanted to appeal to Neo Genesis Evangelion fans... |

| What a trainwreck, it started off midly interesting but then everything went downhill. Those characters changed sides like other people change underwear, but there is at least a reason to change your underwear that often. Only bearable character was Hare and she died too early. At least the soundtrackwas good I guess so I give it one additional point. 2/10 |
| Why hadn't seu died with inori it would've been better if they both died together. With this ending im so heart broken rn. I know that inori give her soul and save seu but still this ending is too much for me, I was nearly crying when seu said to inori let's go together. I was ready for it where they had both died and save humanity. But keeping seu alive like this is actually too much. I was thinking giving this an 8 but the ending, man. well it's still a 7 for me. I have made an ending in my imagination where they both died together and I'm going with it. I can't just accept this ending. The op for first 12 episodes was fucken awesome. some of the best op I've seen. And it was so well made an well explained. Now I get the whole meaning of the op and what inori means by saying "everything that makes me whole I'll dedicate them all to you, I'm yours. |

| Didn't like it. 4/10. Shu sucked from start to finish. |
 |
| It's so weird because I don't know what to think of this anime, the story, OST and enjoyment were good for me, but the HORRIBLE characters (despite Ayase and Inori being actually good) made me salty during so many moments, Shu, Gai and Arisa and Mana were appalling characters. 6/10, would be a 7-8 with more good characters |
 |
| Ending is funny. Cringe. Fate/Zero is light years better than this shit. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| DID THEY JUST KILL THE BEST CHARACTER aka KIDO KENJI;; I feel betrayed I'd have liked it if Shu died with Inori. Weird show with many plot holes and barely any likable characters, but I give it a 7/10 because it kept me very entertained these past few days and the music was fire. |
 |
| Would've been a nice touch to have Daryl join them in the epilogue |
 |
| Daryl loves Tsugumi ? Irrelevant. Keido can hack? Mindblown.... Daryl is a good boy? Major plotwist righthere.... really that glasses guy though, he's trying so hard to become a tragic hero. Arisa is alive? Mmmkay... Well at least Gay and Money is together. 10/10 |
| 9 years later... and still an1 like Inori :( I miss she so much. |
 |
| People overreact at how bad this ending was tbh, from what I read, Inori is living inside Shu now, or something of the sort, which you can't really understand from what is shown, but whatever. Thing is, most Japanese writers nowadays SUCK at writing conclusions, thus this wasn't really that bad vs some real stinkers, and again, I found Shu development much more credible and less annoying than the first part, and I already there liked his interactions with Ayase, so they ship did have some potential behind it, but tbh best girl ended to be Hare, and she died on ep15! People worship Inori too much, when I think she is one of the biggest wastes of potential, a big fuck up, you can blame GC with. She had the looks for sure, but her development felt messy, felt bipolar as fuck, and suddenly loving Shu again, plus the whole Mana thing and she was another mess. Tsugumi gave me a lot of fanservice, plus Neko ears, no complaints about her, she was likable enough, plus I love those mecha suits. :3 Gai was a piece of shit early on, then I started to like him more, solely for the anime to mess it with bring him back a second time, and the explanation did not work for me, felt forced, just like the whole Mana thing, again, the plot has some potential but it was not told in a way that I could care, and also felt dumb when you think about it, the virus hits the Earth, the whole Adam and Eve thing, Humanity next stage of evolution, and a sis wanting to bang her little brother, then goes mad when rejected and goes for another (Triton/Gai). Now, why I m still giving this a good score... OST and some really nice highs, like episode 4 and 15, but also when you strip the anime of its MESS of a plot, and look to some episodes, like these final 2, the action and everything were great, really. Mana/Inori looked SICK on that dress of hers, and the whole thing felt very entertaining, if you forget the train wreck to this point, there are some real merits here and in the end, I m able to come out and said it was a mixed bag, but ended being entertained, a lot with the final episodes (and ep4 & 15), the animation was not always top notch but they nailed it when mattered the most. I only wanted to see that Daath blonde bastard suffer a bit more, fuck him. If it wasn't for Sawano soundtrack, I would have scored this one at least -1, but like it is, it was the heart of most of the anime, many scenes were much better thanks to it, which goes to show how important music can be. 8.0 = 8/10 Orulyon said: So technically, Shu is committing incest. Inori being the clone of Mana, has the exact inner and outer DNA of his sister...but a different soul. I felt like they wanted to appeal to Neo Genesis Evangelion fans... I can agree that the mess of the plot did make me think about NGE, but the difference is that NGE had more interesting characters, and actually felt really deep and interesting, and then you have End of Evangelion that is a masterpiece and when you do some search, it is just awesome to understand all the neat details, and is a very though provoking story that really sticks with you and makes you reflect upon it, even many years later. |

| Garbage ending and characters. 3/10 |
| lol that was shit. Inori was a shit character same with shu. Hare was ok but i did like Ayase. Was hoping shu would die, same with that douchebag souta |
 |
| the ending was good and bad at the same time as, well, like the rest of the series. i seriously preferred shou to be dead, what life he has exactly lol? though long time now the story played shou x ayase part. though this was "end" i feel as big parts didn't got good answer, one of them is inori origin. yeah yeah i get she's "vessel" and not real one, but leaving main character without much of story and characteristic was really bad for my taste. and overall, though i had endured a lot from this inconsistent in the anime, i still wants more lol. it had very few characters i really grew into, i don't even need one hand to count them lol. one is hare second is ayase. the rest are very forgettable or i didn't really cared. shu isn't the best MC but had it moments, but didn't cared for him one bit. gai had big potential that the anime hasn't used. overall this anime had very good idea and potential. the problem is the execution, the anime just tried so hard to be what it's not. i heard people comparing this to code geass, it's not even close. code geas made me care for almost all characters or wish some to be dead (i'm looking at you suzuku), even the fanservice was endurable. GC just didn't made me care enough for the mystery to be solved. hell, it didn't solved anything. it felt for me as they took the concept and played with it to their heart content so it "will look cool" or to make some "interesting" plot twists. i'm sorry to say the anime didn't made that happen. it did though made me curious to see it through the end. so with that curiosity and potential. some good OST and more than average animation, i give this anime 6. |
| The show was fine (6/10) till episode 12, then came the garbage truck. The writing afterwards makes the likes of SAO look decent. Never thought I'd rate anything below 3, but oh well here it is. |
 |
| I'm still so confused with everything revolving around Gai, Mana, and Daath, and heck even Inori herself. I'll probably scroll through this discussion thread to find some understanding; if this anime is even meant to be understood. This anime is literally so anime it's the most anime anime that could ever anime. If this made just a bit more sense then it maybe would be decent. All I know is that somehow Shu was able to prevent the apocalypse together with Inori. Otherwise, this was me during most of the episode: I was really feeling a 3/10 during most of the time spent watching this. But honestly it's not that bad. I'll give it a 4/10, I think that's fair. It deserves recognition for the music at least. Alright I'm done with this and will forget about it completely by tomorrow. Hope you all have a good one. Cya! edit: Nvm, It's a 3, I'm giving it a 3/10, final answer |
