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?" |

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.

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. |

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

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.

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

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

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
