Shu got betrayed...
Those interrogations were kinda nicer than I expected, way to polite and civilized. Guess only Inori really cares about him, since Gai & the rest have their own hidden agendas. Great episode with lots of action.

Agreed.
Looks like he's being taken to some sort of terrorist compound/training camp. I suspect that Episode 5 will be a more comedic/lowkey one like Episode 3 was, but at least we'll get to learn more about some of the members of the Undertaker group.

Looks like he's hitting on Inori; assuming the scenes there follow one another it's going to be really pathetic. The entire preview seems like the show is backtracking to Shu/Inori diary mode. Is this the GitS formula they were talking about?

Before Segai picked up Shu from his cell, the guy couldn't even get his plastic package of Udon Noodles to open so he could eat. I mean it's one thing to deny a prisoner food to break them but in that manner? That's just cold. The least they could do is give him something to cut it open with. |

Spoiler for Hare crying and Inori spying:
Shu that bastard, making Hare cry. Kind of makes me wonder, if Inori would have behaved the way she did, if she didn't went to school that day. I mean sure, she would still be part of the operation, but maybe she wouldn't have gone astray from Gai's plan. |

More like just Inori than anybody else, but yeah. Gai probably took her for some "reprogramming" after she disobeyed him.
First day in, find out the only person you trust is closer to the cool leader. Man up situation here, but since it's Shu we're talking about.....yeaaah. ![]() He's not to that point yet. |

To be fair Gai is over-playing the asshole part when it comes to Shu and Inori. It's as if Shu and Inori weren't low enough on the character scales the series has to make it it's priority to lower them even more. Imagine for a second Shu actually sucking up to Gai's crap.

Regardless, a comparison of Guilty Crown to comic books doesn't do anything. It's again trying to justify the show by saying "XYZ" did it too. Maybe people didn't like XYZ either? Maybe, the execution here is way off compared to XYZ? Maybe we don't agree that XYZ is the same as GC? Either you're trying to point out people as hypocrites, which just doesn't change the substance of their claims, or you are saying that our opinions are not that relevant because people like these sorts of stories (I mean is a reason why I should have to conform the majority view here?). I don't know, but you'd have to explain yourself on this front on why exactly a comparison argument is even valid here. Quote:
One of my main contentions with this show is the setting and the way they use it. Serious one moment, absurd the next. Tonal issues abound. Quote:
Also Hollywood blockbuster comparison? Why does that matter? Quote:
Secondly, it is not a preconceived notion. You present a setting that is grounded in the real world, and also do it with many serious political and social issues around. You have a main character that's taking everything very seriously. I personally feel the setting and the elements at play deserve a more mature handling than what we've been given thus far. The fact that you're even stating something like this (Which is a straw man) indicates you been missing I and other's points in this thread.

I agree that an evil villain can work, but only if there are other layers to his personality. That being said, I think it's too early to complain about that in Guilty Crown, as the villains have barely had any screentime yet. My complaints is not that there are evil villains (I mean, it's kinda common for a villain to be evil, isn't it? ![]()
