Well, at fist sight it looks like another cliche's shounen story, but... no. It does remember me some things of Code Geass (considered one of the best Anime from the story), but it's way too different. In a synthesis, you'll like the first 1/3 of the show, but nothing THAT good; then you'll not understand the second 1/3 and some people leave this outstanding anime here; BUT, in the last 1/3, you'll get explanations for everything that happened in the first AND the second 1/3, watch some awesome fights and sentimental moments, and when you watch the last episode, you'll probably do like me... Cry like a baby, not because the show is over, not because it's just an emotional shit, it's just...EPIC

== Story == 7 ===
This is where most of the anime cliché's are... Boy meets a mysterious girl, and receive some amazing power and blá blá blá. Well, the good points are that the power is somewhat original (at least I've never heard of something like that). This anime has a lot of plot twists so you'll never know what's REALLY going on. (just at the end, of course)

== Art == 10 ===
Okay, the art is just breathtaking, with nice void effects, as well for the scenario and characters design.

== Sound == 10 ===
Well, I think this is the best soundtrack I've ever heard, with highlights to the Opening, Ready to Go (somehow Gai's "theme" in the first episode), Euterpe (the song of the first episode intro), and Bios. Nice work Supercell and Hiroyuki Sawano ^^

== Character == 9 ===
Some character's personality are also very cliché at the beginning at the show, but as the plot twist they'll gradually change, become more interesting, and you'll also get more involved with them as they tell their life story and emotions (both past and future).

== Enjoyment == 10 ===
Some elements of the show made me laugh a lot when they're together, like a the song that accompanied the beach scene. The actions of some characters throughout the anime were very funny and unexpected too.

== Overall == 10 ===
Guilty Crown will make you'll anxious, angry, sad, happy and all the kind of feelings that someone can have. I think you'll enjoy it more if you watch it in a light way, but if the show disappoints you at some point, just watch it until the end that it'll reward you at some point... At least if you're into this kind of anime; just have a look at it's genres before watching ok? It is in my opinion a masterpiece, and I'll never forget it.
