But I guess I will start here: Terrible. Poor attempt at whatever they were attempting to do.
I have never been more confused in my life while watching an anime. I have watched many, many anime. Some bad and some amazing. But this, this doesn't even have a category.
Plot: "What?", that's what I asked myself every second. I was pretty excited to start this anime because I could truly feel that it had some potential to turn out amazing. However, I felt more let down by Guilty Crown than my ex-boyfriend of two years who broke up with me on WhatsApp. My heart is screaming. It had so much potential. I am honestly saddened. There was no logic or explanation behind an event or a character's action. At some points I had to check to reassure myself that I was still watching the same anime. There is no follow up with the story. Yes. That's it. The story doesn't flow. It's like a badly fit puzzle. Nothing fits. They just used whatever they could find then slapped it with pretty animation and soundtrack and sold it. Please. Do not do this.
Art: The art was beautiful. If you turn the sound off, you could mistake this for an amazing anime. You could imagine it having an incredible plot. Or a plot. I don’t think this one even had a "p".
Sound: The soundtrack on Guilty crown is one of the legendary. It is beautiful. It draws emotions. Sadly, this anime did not do it justice. You deserve better.
Character: Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. I am 100% sold to believe that the characters in this anime all have a story that we don't know about. Like anywhere. I say this because there would be no explanation to their actions otherwise. I don't know what they are doing. Do they know what they are doing? I did not feel a single connection with a single character. Ouma Shu is the most pathetic MC made in the history of anime-kind. He has no idea what he is doing or why he is even doing it. I usually feel some kind of pity towards weak MCs. However, I felt anger. I felt confusion. Sometimes, I even forgot he was the MC. They gave him a cool power and said, "Go. Run with it. You will have no clue what it is but that's okay because neither do we!" Absolute lack of logic.
Yuzuriha Inori. She is also the MC. I assure you that is a lie because I am pretty sure she just stands around saying, "Shuu.." every 5 second. That is not a MC. That is not even a supporting character. That's a wall.
Enjoyment: If I could have given this category a 0, I would have. It made me anxious watching it because I knew I would not be given a satisfactory ending. And I was right.
Overall: I beg someone to dub over this entire anime and make it more interesting. I would prefer someone giving me a electric shock and stick a fork in my eye every time I have to remember that I wasted my time watching this atrocity.
I am not hating on this anime. I am just unbelievably disappointed because it truly had potential.
