Plots(1)
In Guilty Crown, Shu's entire world was shattered after a meteorite crashed into Japan, unleashing the lethal Apocalypse Virus. The chaos and anarchy born of the outbreak cost Shu his family and reduced him to a timid, fearful shell of the boy he'd once been. His life took another unexpected turn after a chance encounter with the stunning pop star, Inori. This mysterious beauty introduced Shu to the King's Right Hand: a genetic mutation that allows him to reach into the hearts of mortals and turn them into weapons. The visceral action of this visual masterpiece escalates as Shu finds himself caught in the crossfire between those who desperately seek his newfound strength. On one site lurks a clandestine government agency - and on the other, Inori and the spirited band of rebels known as Funeral Parlor. The choice is Shu's to make - and the world is his to change.

One and a half stars for the animation and music. It's just the best thing in the series. The rest of it just sucked. Occasionally it did have an interesting moment that was worth the crap around it, but overall it's more of a waste of time. Unless you like unnecessary fan service, clichés, bad writing (which tries to rip off the likes of Evangelion, Code Geass, Macross, or Utena), characters that pretend to have depth but end up being a hodgepodge of extracts of "successful aspects from other anime" (we’re shouting out to Shuo, Inori, and Gai in particular). It's possible to enjoy it, but you have to expect absolutely nothing, and above all you mustn't overthink it. A mishmash of all sorts of things with nice animation but subpar flow (and characters you want to murder).
