I didn’t care for the challenges Shu faced with the pop singer, Inori, who mysteriously entered his life and with whom he quickly became infatuated by.ĭespite some frustration at the initial slow pace, the plot certainly thickened as Shu progressively became more involved with Funeral Parlour, upon learning Inori’s part in the group. Throughout the first five or so episodes, confusion and some frustration with the pacing of the anime can be evident, as it certainly was with me. The series delves right into the action, leaving viewers intrigued and wanting more, before cutting back toward a slower pace and dragging the story on in an effort to build the world in which the characters live, as well as their relationships with one another. Guilty Crown’ s pacing is slightly haphazard. Caught in between, Shu inadvertently gains the ‘Power of the King’, an ability to pull out and use a person’s ‘void’, a weapon which stems from their hearts and inner self. The series follows Shu Ouma, an average high school boy who accidentally stumbles into the conflict between the corrupt government organization known as the GHQ and the resistance group known by the ominous name, Funeral Parlour, who work to restore Japan’s independence.
Guilty Crown first released in 2011 as two separate volumes, however recently, the series has been re-released as a complete series collection. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for the series dwindled the more I watched. Being an anime series directed by the same man behind anime greats such as Death Note and Attack on Titan, I was certain that Guilty Crown would be a series that I could get into and really enjoy. The choice is Shu's to make - and the world is his to change.Guilty Crown has been on my radar for a very long time. On one side lurks a clandestine government agency, and on the other, Inori and the spirited band of rebels known as Funeral Parlor. Shu finds himself caught in the crossfire between those who desperately seek his newfound strength. This mysterious beauty introduced Shu to the King's Right Hand: a genetic mutation that allows him to reach into hearts of mortals and turn them into weapons.
His life took another unexpected turn after a chance encounter with the stunning pop star, Inori. 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. Shu's entire world was shattered after a meteorite crashed into Japan, unleashing the lethal Apocalypse Virus.
