Story :6:
As I was watching the anime I found the story very intriguing. The story is unique its own way, has some romance in it, and plot twists. However to me it felt that after half way into the show the story started to be crammed full of info and other major events. Some parts of the story also felt a little too cliche, but never the less it was still enjoyable. The ending however, in my opinion, was very good in the likes that it wasn't the typical happy or sad ending. Also I enjoyed that there was a good balance of fan service. I believe if there is gonna be any in any anime to never over do it too much. So that was a big plus for me.
Character :4:
The reason why I give the characters a 4 is because I didn't feel very attached to them. When something tragic would happen to someone in the show I didn't feel any remorse for them or even tear up. As good as the main character is there were a lot of moments that I was tired of him. Also you never really knew much about any of the other characters. Only very few of them did they give a little bit of background info. So it wasn't really hard to watch a lot of the characters go in the anime. However i'm not saying there aren't any characters that I couldn't feel for or relate too.
Art/Animation :9:
Guilty Crown really shocked me a bit with the animation and artwork. I have noticed over the years of watching anime, cartoons, and animation films, that there are a lot of anime that doesn't have a lot of animation in their episodes. However this anime did a splendid job of satisfying me on that aspect. There was never a moment in any of the 22 episodes where you were staring at someone's face for 5 minutes as they talked. The show was always moving and not to mention their action scenes. I also enjoy this style of anime. It was beautifully drawn, colored, and animated.
Sound/Voice/Music :10:
The voices for the characters really matched every one of them. Not one felt like it didn't match the character's personality. I also like the opening and ending music that they chose. However there was one opening I didn't like, but that was because the english sounded funny. I especially love when Inori would sing her song. The singing voice was absolutely beautiful.
Enjoyment :9:
This anime has kept me up till 7:30 in the morning, because I couldn't just stop watching and go to sleep. I thoroughly enjoyed this anime for the past couple hours constantly clicking the 'next episode' button. This anime pulls you in with the action and fight scenes but also with the drama and romance as well. Each episode makes you want to know what happens next even if you get frustrated with the story.
Overall :10:
I give this anime a 10! Of course this is only my opinion on the anime. I do believe that everyone should try out at least the first couple of episodes and decide for themselves. This anime is good for those looking for something a little different or interesting. This anime pulled me in real fast even though I don't really go for this kind of anime a lot. When I was done watching this anime I felt a nice feeling in my heart, and that is a very big thing for me when it comes to anime. If I don't feel some kind of sensation inside then that anime would be something I wouldn't talk about or remember after awhile.
Welp... This ended up being a bit long. Sorry.
