The one thing they should focus the next episode on is putting it back on track, and I mean EXPLAIN THE FUCKING STORY.

Seriously, compared with this, Code Geass was enjoyable. At least the first season.

what you get for seeing a new show as a carbon copy of an older one: "shitty storytelling"

naturally, since GC is NOT CG, it will fail at meeting your expectations on it being CG.

Nothing to censor here.

Damn it. Was close with what I thought would happen. I was worried for a second that it would end badly towards the middle of the episode, but it redeemed itself.

All in all, was a series that had Code Geass-type potential. It failed on many levels, but ended up pretty damn epic in its own right and avoided the Xam'd disaster. Good stuff.

An OVA announcement was made and it will be released on May 31st, of 2012. It will be one episode. Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas

I felt the ending was way too rushed, and if they played out what happened in the last episode over two episodes it would've been better. Overall a fairly good series, though.

Agreed, if the direction was like with the first few episodes this would have been a lot more enjoyable, songs were good so I'll archive those, but other than that, 1/10 rating is being generous.

How come he's blind ? He didn't receive any damage to the eyes. At least none was shows so that doesn't make sense.

this show definitely worth 7.5+/10. yes this show wasted his potential was forgettable and bla bla bla...., but it was 120% enjoyable

So I dropped this show at ep12. Sounds like it did not improve and I made the right choice. 2.5/5 based on what I seen. The .5 is bonus because I only seen half. Also I am not hating on this show because of Code Geass(I've not seen it). This show had a very big problem in the plot-writing department.

Kyrdua · « **Reply #477 on:** March 24, 2012, 05:02:23 AM »

Damn, way to rescue Gai from the villain ball there, GC.

also, loved every minute of EP 22. Gotta hand it to them, that was EPIC.
Also, what's wrong with the plot? why is it "so bad"? not that i ever care about the plot on anything, i'm in for the direction/pacing on every show.

he absorbed voids from whole planet, so it could be side effect or from Inori before death

I'm going with the purified Apo Virus reason. the damn thing did get purged from him.

definetly a goos show, and can't understand why it is compared to Code Geass... because of the tittle?

and if you think it has so many failed potential, how you think it should have gone?

but well, art work was good, OST was good and plot was good.
There was nothing wrong in this series. It had something for aout everyone.

When a show fails completely at the suspension of disbelief then the plot/storytelling is just sub-par. Every standard trope in the book was used without having any sense of cohesion. Loose ends weren't tied, erratic behavior stayed without plausible explanation, in-universe rules didn't make sense anymore, a hasty resolution that came from a shoddy build-up, etc etc.... Shu had what, 3 heroic BSOD's? Gai's character was non-sensical ... actually most of the characters were.

Thus all in all a complete mess

I'm not a writer/director, doesn't mean I can't know what is good or bad (You don't have to be a cook to know if your food is good, yet if you have some knowledge of cooking you can make a more nuanced judgement)
