What, you think everybody who watched Guilty Crown episode 1 stuck around for episode 3 or, oh dear, the end?

Well, I've very rarely seen so many people highly critical of a show follow it right to the bitter end. Sure, some people dropped it before then, but there's a lot that didn't seem to like it and yet they didn't seem to be able to pull themselves away from it. Especially for a two cour show, this stands out to me.
So I think that Yoshino may be better than most anime writers at making his show's... addictive, perhaps you could say.

Also, can anyone explain to me, in straightforward English terms, preferably with concrete examples, what the hell is the male emasculation thing you are all talking about?

It's more a criticism of Mari Okada in particular than of anime as whole (the growing criticism with anime as a whole is that male characters tend to get short-changed development-wise in certain types of anime shows, but not necessarily emasculated). And even with Okada, it's not evident in every show she writes, just some.
Here are
two posts I wrote on the topic of emasculation in Hanasaku Iroha.
