Guilty Crown - General Discussion

[ahelo]

Shipping war causes great discussion/enjoyable flaming. If Guilty Crown has this, I'm sold.

Indeed, I've been hearing him a lot lately. I don't dislike him so I don't mind.

And Kana-chan voicing hotwheels is good news for me.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw the pic lol.

It looks like Shou's catch phrase or w/e will be "With you, I'll fight" or something along those lines, if the writing on the scan is what he says when he pulls objects from people.

That spread reminds me of Dantalian no Shoka

Kami spreads, but kuso anime. Those are generally my thoughts on it so far, revised.

Isnt it a bit premature to call it a kuso anime? I guess if you don't like Death Note/Code Geass/Macross F then this looks bad automatically.

I am with you thus far. Hopefully my instincts will be proven wrong -__-

But those girls look smexy to say the least.

And since when is shipping banned in Animesuki? O_O

I liked all of those, but you're right that I don't favor the "cool over substance" _in some cases_. And you're right, it's premature to call it anything, but what I have seen of the trailer and spreads... It's like Noitaima has their mind set on what otaku want, since they wanna cater to them now more than ever. However, hearing Yamamoto P say he'd take a different approach in producing TIGER & BUNNY if it was his show, despite its major success, speaks to me that Noitamina has completely lost its touch with their user base and otaku in general. I think we all generally agree that Guilty Crown is a far cry from anything that was produced for the program block, which strikes me as trying too hard in switching to a new user base.

tl;dr: Call it a hunch, if you will.

Can you provide the article for this? I need to know the context in which he said this.

Your Kidding Right?

Well yeah ship wars do tend to up the post count for a series but not in a positive way.

I like his voice work so I glad he has main roles in this show.

No, just no. Those kind of thing will make thread discussion get uglier.

Looks very crime-infested.

Staff updated : http://www.guilty-crown.jp/staff-cast/
Character Designer : Hiromi Kato
Animation direction : Toshiyuki Yahagi, Satoshi Kadowaki
Main animators : Kyouji Asano, Takaaki Chiba
Mechanic Designer : Atsushi Takeuchi
Art director : Yusuke Takeda
Prop Design : Hiroshi Moriyama

Pleased to see the talented Yusuke Takeda for art direction.
It seems Hiromi Kato (Kobato, Needless) has followed Araki and left Madhouse...
Also I don't see studio Ordet listed and Satoshi Kadowaki is credited as animation director, I'm wondering about Ordet's future situation since Yamakan has retired.
Anyway this update brings more appealing names.

Gallery's also updated : http://www.guilty-crown.jp/gallery/illustration/

[Kakkou]

So the anime character designer was Hiiromi Kato. No wonder I had this lingering feeling the style of the designs looked familiar.

If nothing else, this show should at least look pretty.

Getting really excited about what the industry is doing with settings and backgrounds this year. Amazing that we just came from what I was calling the era of the generic school and countryside setting. What a complete turnaround in imagination this year on that front. It was getting to the point where if I had to see one more season chock full of desks, classrooms, sun bleached windows, hardwood floors and fenced rooftops ocassionally supplemented by the most idealized open field of grass and flowers I was going to probably scream.

Seriously so nice to see actual cities again more often than not.

Kaioshin, you might want to sit down for this

But hey, one out of six isn't so bad. At least no field of flowers on sight.

... Kaioshin?

But seriously, I love the design of the city. Postmodern architecture with signs of heavy post-apocalyptic industrialization ... perfect backdrop to some intense battles.

Will be interesting how they utilize the terrain here.
