| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| Enjoyment. Productions values are so high, it's hard not to enjoy action scenes when they're so well animated, and with supercell doing the music, nothing could go wrong on that part. What the show really lacked was a proper story. It kept jumping from one thing to another and at the end tried to tie up all the stories together, and that just made one big mess. That and characters not actually behaving like actual people, lol. Things like Shu becoming a badadd then a wimp then a badass, it felt off. It's as if the plot drove the characters, not the opposite. Also, the biggest flaw was the "void" power. I feel like the team behind GC hadn't fully thought it out and kept adding things to it as the story progressed, without foreshadowing. |

I wasn't even trying to troll , and if you think i was, look who's the fool. I'm not gonna start a flame war here, I'm not like you derp. Your anger , what can you really do man ? And if I don't shut up ? Amuse me please , i was expecting more from you and the amount of hate i got from your statement is disappointing low . No worries, I'm not even bothered to start an online personal attack . Note:Not gonna reply, tired of derps.  lolanger. Telling someone to shut up doesn't equal anger, like lolwat. That doesn't make any sense at all. I'm not trying to start a flame war with you, I'm just telling you if you're not going to say anything REVELANT to the thread, then it'd be best if you just didn't say anything Before calling someone a derp and telling them they're angry, I suggest you reflect on the post I just quoted. Also, the rest of the post wasn't even directed at you, lol. Another thing, do you guys think the whole Endlave thing is weird? lol |

| I liked this show as much as giving it 9/10 , it's definitely worth your time, to me personally it feels like hybrid of Code Geass and Eureka 7 with something added/changed on top. Just for info my rating for CG is 8/10 (i tend to rate all seasons in this rating), Eureka7 is 9/10. I think people on internet are very critical these days, competing at who's gonna find more wrongies and they forget to mention the good parts. :) |

Only Shu got a real buff in strength when his void powers evolved. Everyone else stayed the same :( |
| Pretty much. And the deal with the endlaves, you're controlling the remotely but you can still die from it? It's kinda weird. |
Glub said: Yes. It is pretty bad. Boku no Pico is better than it. I didn't see GC but hey, boku no pico is fine! |
Solkiskey said: Pretty much. And the deal with the endlaves, you're controlling the remotely but you can still die from it? It's kinda weird.

| IMO, GC it's not the worst show, far from it. However, it's not a good show either. Again, this is all my opinion, and we may share very different taste in the things we like. Looking at your rating history though, I think you'll enjoy this quite a bit. |

| oh man the haters of this show are some of the most annoying people out there. It's almost hard to believe that they take out all this time of their lives to peruse the guilty crown forums, a show that they hate, and look for the best oportunities to bash it writing the exact same things over and over again. I thought it was a pretty good show, it has it's flaws but if your not blinded by hate theyre easy to look past, and it ends up being pretty enjoyable. Also I'd say it's less like code geass, and more of a combination of eureka and evangelion. |

And @WyattEarp I kind of agree with you. Some people just say Guilty Crown is bad because some scenes don't make sense. For example, the scene I discussed before in the first episode where the first endlave misses targeted missiles on Inori. Can't we all just assume that Tsugumi hacked into the system and screwed the missiles up? Why is the anime completely terrible because of small instances like that? |

I think the people nitpicking about something as small as that are misguided, but that would just be silly. The scene already works in the context of the show, there's no need to defend it. Stormtroopers couldn't hit the side of a barn in Star Wars either, but it's hardly a problem if you accept that it's a work of fiction. Exactly my point. I saw a page where this guy listed 100 instances of small illogical scenes. I was just confused as to why anyone would waste his/her time doing that instead of enjoying the anime.... |

I can´t remember well, but weren´t the pilots inside of the Endlave, right? If it was like that, then that neurological system is not a very good idea, because by attacking a certain place they are easily knocked out and unable to keep fighting. @kurselax: We definitely got out of hand with this thread when you just wanted to know if Guilty Crown is worth your time, and I humbly apologise for that. Unfortunately, as you might have been able to tell by now, we cannot assure you if it´s a must watch or not. Personally, I would recommend several other shows that are better, yet, as I have said before, Guilty Crown can be some goddamn fun experience as there were plenty of people who loved it. No one can force you to watch it, yet the only way to know if you like it or not is getting into it by yourself: if you find it enjoyable, go ahead and don´t mind the others. If not, feel free to drop it and watch something else instead. |

Neane1993 said: The slightest thought that will pass from your mind is enough to make you see plot holes and stupid things happening. It is by far not a mature or well written show. It is just dumb fun and guilty pleasure (exactly what the name implies) for viewers with really low expectations. And sure, many are bound to love it, in the same way so many loved Twilight. Does that make it a good show? Hell no. Thank you for your understanding and in case you actually liked the show for any other reason then I pity you. Good you stated your opinion. Now back it up with reasons...? You can't just say a show is bad because it is bad (which is essentially what you just wrote). |

It's nitpicking if it's once in a while, but you see those mistakes repeatedly in Guilty Crown. |
| It's not really a mistake though. There is no 100% contradiction. Most of the events that seem paradoxical have a reasonable explanation but just because the show didn't completely explain them doesn't mean that it's necessarily a "mistake". |
WyattEarp said: The first episode though and the initial premise was the most similar to Code Geass. Then they moved onto something different afterwards.Also I'd say it's less like code geass, and more of a combination of eureka and evangelion. Mysterious girl with mysterious power (when the void is first drawn out), check. Mysterious power of kings, check. Rebellion faction, check. Robots on wheels (lol), check. Japan under foreign rule, check. Some "accident" where the said foreign rule plan to destroy an entire area of innocent civilians, check. Protagonist want to change something, check. |
| One of The Best anime i watched till now. The OSTs are Beautifully Amazing. The Story Line goes well The charchter are done very well. You should watch it if you like sci-fi games and Drama scenes |

Toshikuni said: One of The Best anime i watched till now. The OSTs are Beautifully Amazing. The Story Line goes well The charchter are done very well. You should watch it if you like sci-fi games and Drama scenes In a nutshell that's why I liked the anime. The characters are done well but my only complaint is the lack of development in anyone's abilities/powers except Shu's. My only problem with the storyline is that the last episode had too much in it. Almost half the characters died in just the last episode. Could've been better if the ending scenes were diluted to 3 episodes. |
| I think if you watched Code Geass first then Guilty Crown might not be as good for you. GC for me was the best anime of fall-winter season. |

Plus, the overall soundtrack kept me motivated to watch this entire series (can often be a bad luring habit). |

It still suffers the same problems from the first cour, put there are some interesting ideas put there that make it a bit more enjoyable. However, if you are eager to get back to it, I should advise you not to put much thought about what follows and have low expectatives, since nothing changes the fact that it´s a "more flash than substance" show. BTW, Jpark, you have the show in your PTW list instead of the Completed one, excuse the silly giggles XD |

| ^ I already finished it but I plan to rewatch it :P |
| ^ Rewatch it? That's an interesting thought. I would consider doing that too, but it's currently not at the top of my list. Plus having some serious time constraints is often painful. |
|
| It's worth watching i guess. I like the first half of guilty crown but the plot twist destroys it and i really dislike the 2nd half episode 12-22. Really,it have such potential but they decided to just focus more on the romance and rushed it imho. |
| This series had potential. It started out great. It has great OST, character design, fighting scenes were meh. But then Shu introduced himself as the common pathetic, unable-to-do-anything-by-himself protagonist. I have no idea how anyone could put up with someone like him. Just watched episode 1, and he had already said the most pathetic lines which made me drop this series. Dropped this series at episode 1. |

Now being serious, I don´t think that having the wimpy archetype as the protagonist is always a bad idea. Everything lies in the execution and how they manage to make the character sympatethic enough as we wait for his development, of course!! In Shu´s case, definitely wasn´t the brightest characterization, but the reason I can´t easily call him the worst protagonist of 2011 only puts in evidence that I can come up with at least a couple of examples that are equally bad (or even worse) than him. As a curious thing, he eventually becomes one of the few decent characters, specially near the end of the series... |

| My opinion is that it is an average series, not very good but also not the trainwreck everyone made it out to be. The problem was that the expectations were way too high. The director from Death Note, the script writer from Code Geass, well-known artists producing the music and design, with production values through the roof AND airing on Noitamina over two seasons! It seemed like God's gift to anime fans! Except that it wasn't quite that, heh. |

| Holy moly so much hate to this anime. Honestly i enjoyed guilty crown alot. Mainly because i like anything that sunrise puts out but also the story itself was pretty good. I did enjoy the main character alot and the romance he had with Inori. I am a huge sucker for romance animes. The action was good too and the idea that he could use people's "Trueselfs" to fight. The art was amazing too and the music did help alot as well. So for the people who said the anime was shit, stop hatin, its not good for your health. Side rant: Read in a earlier post someone saying Meloncholy of haruhi suzumiya was shit, he deserves a punch in the face. |

| I barely had expectations for this show, but it’s just not right to say that it’s all the hype that’s at fault here. Because god forbid that it’s so wrong to ask for something to actually turn out good/decent right? Guilty Crown has interesting and sometimes even great ideas. It’s just how it’s laid out, paced, and written that tends to be jarring at times that it often gives people that unintended “WTF” reaction. I don’t care if it’s “unoriginal” or "cliched", as long as it’s written well then maybe I’d actually give it some praise. I don't hate GC. I don't think it's terrible nor do I truly dislike it. I simply think that it has a fairly mediocre story despite the great animation and soudntrack. No more, no less. |

| This show is truly a waste of time. (Please read my post to it's entirely, and I will actually explain WHY this is my opinion; not just "THIS SUCKS") The thing is, the reason there is SUCH a negative backlash is that it LOOKS like it would be amazing.... phenomenal soundtrack, gorgeous visuals, and excellent voice acting... so you would think with ALL of that you'd get something quality. NO. no. no. The storytelling is so god-awful that it negates all of those things. Characters pop in and out without reason, side story-lines begin and are never explained (or just fizzle out), the MAIN characters have such convoluted motives that they cease to make sense at all, and you eventually don't give a DAMN about them anyways. How can you enjoy a show where you have invested 22eps, watching characters that have SUCH potential, become completely dull and lifeless. To the original poster; it's your call. Yes there are people who join the bandwagon of hate, but the origin of the hate is justified. Someone who actually says this was a quality show that was "AWESOME!" is either: 1)trying to stand out by being the less vocalized minority, 2)they have a low scale when it comes to quality, 3)they are probably 12yrs old/easily entertained, or they haven't seen enough GOOD shows and can't tell the difference. tl;dr, pass this up... there are MUCH better shows to fill your time with. |

You can't even get the studio right, you prick. If you're unable to even attain even such basic information, I somehow doubt you are qualified to lecture people in this thread. And you have a FF13 avatar which pretty much explains a whole lot about your standards.... Syphilis said: I highly recommend watching Guilty Crown. Check out my review of GC to clear up the "crappy Code Geass rip-off" image it seems to have. While it certainly mirrors Code Geass in a few ways, that's as far as it goes. I don't see why people claim it to be a rip-off. Attention whoring and showing off an abyssmal amount of watched anime is probably not the right way to promote your review as a serious help for potential new watchers. |

| Guilty crown is a slap in the face. None the less its still one of my favorite animes You should watch it. |
