Has it really been announced that she's his real mom? I cannot tell from the subtitles.

It's hard to tell at this point as there can be some twist later in the series revealing she isn't.
Till now though anime has pretty much been indicating she really is his mom.

How is that NSFW?

Her regular battle outfit is almost as revealing as that.

This is as bad as the time when my class had to write an essay on "Should Donald Duck wear pants?"

The panty shot. You don't want a passing employee seeing you staring at a picture that exposes this. Inori's battle outfit doesn't reveal that part so it doesn't count.

Heard the full version of Euterpe. It's really lovely.

Really beautiful both the cosplay and the fan art. Too bad for now Inori does not have a character that reflects her beauty or voice when she sing.Anyway since we are close to the next episode ,I have a question that came to me thanks the preview.We saw that the crystals that form when Shu pulls out a void and the crystals that are formed on the bodies of the victims of the apocalyptic viruses are similar(if not the same). So my question is what will happen if Shu try to draw out a void from a victim of apocalypctic viruses that already show the Symptoms (the crystals on his/her body) ?I'm curious to see what you think about this.After all, if we're lucky maybe we will see a similar scene in the next episode.

That's a fantastic Inori cosplay. So much so that it's renewed my appreciation for why she's so stunning visually.

Seeing the live-action version of that outfit, I'm struck by how much it's like a superhero costume or a pro wrestler costume. In fact, the me of 10-to-15 years ago would have instantly thought that this was a female Japanese pro wrestler if someone had showed me those cosplay pics without putting them in context. I wonder if Inori's character design was inspired by pro wrestling, as I know that's fairly big in Japan.

Anyway, the only thing I dislike about this particular Inori cosplay is the sparkling red super-high heels. That looks a bit cheap, not to mention really impractical. Still, the rest of the costume looks gorgeous here, and it just needs better footwear to go with it.

Well I think the time for me to tap out of this affair has finally come at last. I've given this show 2 months to at least somewhat improve and have been pretty generous in trying to find the humour in the comically inept writing and characterization, but the novelty has more or less worn off by this point and there's really just nothing I can see that justifies me watching this week to week anymore. Just really nothing interesting happening in this show anymore as it crawls along while barely maintaining the pretense of an overarching plot.

The one tease that may potentially prove mildly interesting has yet to be the focus of an episode and that's really the only thing I'm remotely interested in seeing from this show anymore now that I've had an ample dose of all the cute/hawt girls that seem to have become the sole focus of Guilty Crown of late. So yeah, that's it, I yield Guilty Crown, time for something else.

If I had to cite a specific last straw for me it's been the introduction and focus on the new female characters, specifically the mother one. In a show that counts Daryl Yan and American Dan among it's cast this Haruka character just manages to be the most cringingly dumb, pointless and annoying one yet. I don't know why it is that every character in this show has to be annoying and intolerable on some level, but this one was just one to many for me. It's like they are now actually in on the joke that the cast is hilariously awful beyond measure and it kind of ruins it for me when they just seem to be pushing out ridiculous character after ridiculous awful character just to fill what is starting to look like a bi-weekly quota. To quote Reinhard Von Lohengramm...."worthless pfft!".

I honestly disagree. I still think the inept writing is hilarious, as this show keeps on finding new ways to make bad writing an art.

Okay, that's not the only reason I'm staying with this show. As bad as the show can be at deciding when to be entertainingly dumb (Dan Eagleman) and annoyingly dumb (Haruka), I'm still curious on just how this show is going to turn out. While I think the creators don't seem to realize that aiming for the teenage demographic isn't easier than aiming for the adult demographic, I'm still interested for the sole fact that I want to see what they envisioned as a "cutting-edge" anime. Sort of like Yamakan with Fractale. His vision was so off that it was almost hilarious.

I don't know man, this latest one was a little too by the book on all friends. The plotline with the beach visit is pretty much every single shot/scene in the book from the frolicking in the surf to the breast fondling in the hot spring, the whole love triangle was eh cause all three characters involved are pretty blah, and to top it all off a lot of the things about the fight scene just don't add up to me like the part with Inori shooting a guards rifle out of his hands and then somehow kneeing him in the face when she should be quite a few yards away, but then after a pretty much impossible athletic feat she's back to running like a cutesy damsel in distress. It's like there's some even disconnect then I could possibly have imagined that runs from the head writer down to the storyboarder and then down to the animators themselves so that the left hand doesn't know what the other ones doing.

That said having come to this realization I can sort of see a reason to continue watching to see if I can pinpoint other instances of this possible disconnect and see where exactly it is. There also seem to be some issues with character depiction. Like for example how Kanon seemed like a stern no-nonsense authority like figure in her first appearance, but now apparently is fond of girls skin and frolicking on the beach. Not enough character development for her to have such a shift in portrayal I think.

Yea, the mother is probably the weakest character thus far (says a lot. ). Do we have a female character that's not a sex object here? Hmm... but in Haruka's case it's definitely the straw that broke the camel's back. The latest episode I would have definitely liked more had it not been for the opening scene.

I think sometimes the fanservice comes off as being creepy in the show. (If we're gonna do this, why not just go all the way and pull a Yosuga no Sora ) It's why I didn't mind the latest episode mostly (what episode are on again lol) because fanservice in it was mostly just standard fare rather than that. But I can see why people want some more substance and respect.

It's really hard to explain, but I did post a fanservice rant earlier. In essence, Haruka's scene and that unfortunate groping scene falls under the part of the series that offends me, and the rest really doesn't. But I am a fanservice fan after all. :3

It is good that Tsugumi hasn't been ridiculously humiliated yet, though it may be a matter of time due to her not having that much screen time

I found Haruka funny in the last episode for the fact that I can't believe the writers thought she would be a good idea, but that train has passed, as she is not funny. The other fanservice in this episode, I didn't mind, because it wasn't unusual. It's just standard high school stuff.

And oh god, Yosuga No Sora. I want to block that anime from my head. The characters in that anime make the characters in this anime look developed.

That's because that anime targets those who had played the game.

When did anime characters became sex objects? And I disagree that Haruka's character is weak. I don't think she was made for comedy either. It feels more like she really "just acts that way" around her son. Besides, I could feel some serious mode from her when she: 1. appeared in the ship where she talked to the old guy; 2. In the lab, the first time she appeared and; 3. when she told Shu to visit his dad's grave.

When even Japan can't stands it no more folks. By the way is this an amazon.jp ranking or something else? Either way it doesn't look particularly good for a cutting edge anime.

And it shows, believe me. Then again, I never professed to be a fan of those alternate-route series. I consider it lazy.

I wouldn't be surprised when she becomes serious, but trying to pass off that behavior as acting naturally? Really? It works as well as taking Inori's costume seriously. Well, maybe less.

And ow! That's gotta hurt. When your intended audience is not liking your cutting-edge blockbuster, something has gone seriously wrong.

I would had liked it if they did the extended version too. More H-scenes are ok.

Well, there's no other way to explain it.

At least it's being topped by Persona 4 and Horizon, (Last Exile too, maybe). If I see Majikoi or Maken-ki topping Gulty Crown, I'll rage: that show is as horrible as a bad Freezing(or in Majikoi's case Hyakka Ryouran) fanfic
