Preliminary (18/22 eps)
I have mixed feelings about Guilty Crown. If you have read any of my other reviews you'll know that I tend to love everything I watch since I literally spend hours picking out and sorting through potential series to watch. Even if it's just on a whim and I just jump into a series I'll probably enjoy it. I don't really dissect shows and watch them just to criticize them in the end. That's a waste of time and personally I don't have the time for that.


Story: When I first started watching GC (Around when episode 18 was the newest ep, so roughly 4-5 weeks prior to this review) I looked at the reviews and saw a lot of people saying GC has NO story at all. I do not agree. It has a story although most of the episodes revolve around our protagonist Shu and his ballsack waiting to emerge from it's childhood slumber. 8/10

Art: Seeing how this was released in I believe 2011 the artwork is very nice. It reminds me of Sora No Otoshimono, kinda, in the sense that it's vibrant and detailed. Whatever, don't judge me. I'm just trying to say that it has vibrant, fresh artwork, rather then something like Ranma 1/2 from 800 years ago. 10/10

Sound: OP 1 I believe where she's on the big screen singing or whatever is amazing. I didn't bother with the OP 2 or OP3 (can't remember how many there were). I basically listened to the 4-5 seconds of the the beginning of OP 1 then went into the EP. Not saying that the music is bad, as a matter of fact, the music that plays through the series goes VERY well with the scenes that they are portraying. The music isn't your typical JPOP crap that other animes use (at least the ones I watch :P) but it has a "Mozart" kinda feel to it. It's very classy in a sense. 9/10

Character: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, typical emotionless girl meets wimpy ass teenager who hates his life and harbors a past that he had to erase himself in order to move on with his life. Typical stuff. I personally wanted a little more love triangle but it has it's fair share of crush moments. The characters are nice. However, it's the typical "guy gets power" "guy gets respect because of power "guy uses power to subdue those beneath him while thinking he's doing everyone a favor (which he technically was)* *guy loses power and cries in the arms of his lover* *guy regains his power and his balls drop to the floor and he becomes the 80th coming of Jesus Christ*. 10/10

Enjoyment: Good series. I recommend it. So sad that this and many other anime ended.... Shakugan... Zero No Tsukaima... -_____- blah 10/10


Enjoy :D
