For this piece of dirt that was summoned from the deepest depths of hell...
Let's start, eh? We'll review the anime part by part.
First, story. (6)
Anime starts with a blast, causing unaware viewers to raise their hopes for this anime. And let's say, for a few episodes, I was one of them.
Story follows a teenager named Ouma Shu, who by the way, is a wimp. But one of a kind. There is so much I want to say to him, but gonna save it for the Character part. If you read the summary of the anime, you can see it's a pretty generic shounen anime, that brings nothing new to the anime world and just... well. 'till the end, it won't leave the way of being generic, I'll give it that. But what is this show's point? Another Code Geass? Many have failed there, my dear friends, and don't be mistaken, Guilty Crown didn't make any groundbreakes. Actually, it failed miserably. Because there is no system. First half and the second half of the anime, completely different. In the first half, you can understand things, feelings, thoughts. But second half... I mean, wtf? This cannot be possible, since it's practically impossible to make such a mess, it leaves you with a feeling of chaos.
Art. (10)
Art is quite wonderful. I mean, it is really wonderful. Fight scenes, backgrounds, character's bodies and faces, all in a sync, it's almost refreshing to the eyes. Nothing bad, or if there was, I didn't catch it.
Sound (9)
This is one of my weak points. My ears are not good enough to make a decent comment like most of you, but I'll say that nothing made me uncomfortable. Background music matched with the fighting scenes, and the voice actresses of characters were chosen with great care. Nice job.
Character (5)
And now, most awaited part of this review. Character. Let's just start by saying, "fuck you, shu!"
Ouma Shu... he's definetly in the lowest tier of MC's. No one can be a bigger pussy than him. It's just not possible. Having dropped a quite a lot anime for their weak, pussy MC's, I'm going to say it took all I have to watch all the 22 episodes to write this review. I can't even begin to understand why people love this wimpy, pathetic MC's. I even punched the wall while watching the anime, 'cuz he made me mad. Character development for Shu was... well, bad. He never acted out on being a pussy, actually he made it clear that he will be a pussy 'till the day he dies, 'cuz that's just him. He actually ran off from his group which he "willingly" joined, well because, they needed him to act like a man. But no! God no! Oh heaven's no! Don't let Shu be a man, please god! Let him grow a vagina, and let him join Ichika's harem of wonderful mecha girls! Well, guess what you pathetic human being, if you don't want to act up, do something, or just even say something, DON'T GO TO THE PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE TO DO THOSE. Actually, if you can, please just die. But wait, there's more! When you get to the second half, he goes bad-ass, ruthless, and a piece of shit. Don't get me wrong, his bad-ass phase was even more girlier then any GF's I had, and trust me my otaku friends, I have the experience. He's just... oh my god. Why does characters like him get to be the MC, and good characters like Gai just goes unimportant? Anyway. I'm leaving him now. I'm not done swearing on that moron, but I'll be doing that verbally while writing the review.
Inoha... well, she's a bitch. Yeah. I really didn't get how she turned out to be a good character, but she was a bitch. She admitted that she was using her girliness to get Shu to join her terrorist group, (don't worry, no spoilers. She says that in the start) and then story picked up for her from there. But let me go back to Shu, how he was after Inoha said she tricked him to join the group, how a little crying bitch he is, and an episode later, voila! He goes back to be her little dog, who pets him around like the little puppy he is. I mean, you have to be somewhat angry right? When you learn that she tricked you, she gave you hope of love then ripped that dream apart... No! Of course not. Be the little pussy you are, and totally go all over her!
Good job Inoha, for driving that bitch around.
Enjoyment/Overall (3)
I had hopes for this anime. High hopes, I dare to say. Well, thanks to Ouma Shu, my hopes were shattered like when William Wallace found out those pussy Scot lords turned him over to the Brits. I couldn't swallow my pride as a man and as a viewer, and for every few minutes, I punched something. MC really ruined the show for me.
If you like a pussy, spoiled little brats who turns into a girly bad-ass in the second half for a MC, then go for it. Art and sound is pretty good anyway, so...
Well good luck. Find the jewelry in this anime which I failed to find.
