This anime smelled like a romance, and I was not wrong. But, if you want a romantic ending (Happy ending), you are on the wrong place. The ending of this anime gave him a bad reputation, but if you "study" the ending, you will understand it and accept it.
For me the ending was rushed. The "boss" battles were too fast to enjoy. The anime it self was too fast to be enjoyed.
Story 7.5/10:
- A boy that gains a power by accident (YEY!);
- Apocalypse come like rain;
- Police vs Rebellion;
- Alien Virus?!;
- Super Powers that give you the ability to "steal" hearts on a format of weapons;
- Too much going one at once, too much too follow only in 22 episodes;
- Much potential;
Art 10/10: The art was freaking good. The characters were all well drawn, the motion of fights, and effects were really nice.
Sound 9/10: Yep, main female sings like an angel. Nice climax songs.
Character 8/10:
- Male lead its OP, but breaks under pressure easy. But in the ending makes us all HAPPY
- Female lead...shhh I can't say, I would spoile the story just by talking about her.
- And you have more of the same, the girl that loves the male protagonist, you have the "stupid" friend that you will hate in the end. One rich girl that you will hate even more in the end, and the smart girl, that will be forgotten in the end xD
- Gai and Mana. The "bad side", that start as the good side and then slaps you in the face, and says "f*ck you and your logic for the ending Bitch!"
Enjoyment 8/10: I had loots of fun and feelings during this anime. I just didn't gave a 9/10 because the battle between me and a spider has longer duration than between Shu and any one of the "bad side". Because of my Love story fan side is 60% of the enjoyment, I should say, I didn't have the normal ending that I am used too, the happy ending where they live happy forever. That's why I didn't hate it, because changes never hurt no one.
Overall 8/10: Just because my brain is confused, and i feel trolled in some way, i will give it a good score...i guess.

My opinion if you should watch or not.
1º If you love 100% love story's, all the different endings, sad, happy, dramatic, tragic endings, I think you will understand the ending, and like it.
2º Don't watch it if you are not used too some fast understanding of twists and slaps in the face
3º Watch it if you like a strong male protagonist, where he saves is love, and fights for is love, no matter what.
4º Don't Google opinions about Guilty Crown, because you will get tons of hate because of the ending. For some people the ending made the anime so bad that they would go to the internet and say "WWEWEWEWEWE this anime sucks"
But the only reason that made this anime not reaching is full potential, was the lack of time (I think). Why? Because this anime had too many plot holes, and like I said...rushed.
