Srsly i doubt people would watch this after 2 ep if it is not because Hiroyuki Yoshino and Ichirō Ōkouchi are the script director plus ryo's music. |

That's the main problem with the show right now. I don't give a crap about any of them. As cliche and fanservicey as Boku Wa Tomodachi is, I at least find the characters mildly entertaining. For this show? The main? Terrible. The female? Terrible. Gai? Boring. That asshole? Okay, but not enough to save the show. Everyone else? Don't remember them. Animation is great and all, but if you don't care about the characters, what's the point? Why don't you just watch Code Geass instead? With that said, it's been hyped so much that people are going to continue watching this for a while, and while the attention may be negative, it's still attention. On top of that, I've heard rumors that the show will change direction starting with next episode. Please do, because that main character is a boring tool, and the female needs a personality. Edit: I also agree with somebody that this anime just felt like it was on auto-pilot for the first two episodes

This is something I think is absolutely critical and needed in order to make Guilty Crown go down a little easier. Somewhere along the line we'll have to stop being so black and white about all of this and there will have to be at least one character from the occupation that isn't an eyes bulging out of the head maniac. Yes Code Geass had some of these too, but it also had sympathetic characters and it also had some characters on the Japanese side of the fight that were grey in their morality like Lelouch himself and arguably some of the more extreme members of the old resistance seen in episode 01. That made for some interesting interplay within and between the factions at times. Maybe Gai will be that character in Guilty Crown that will be the anti-hero type, but only time will tell. Quote:

So far nobody in this show really has a sympathetic portrayal and that I think is what makes it hard to identify with the situation or the characters in it. I mean yeah the GHQ is doing horrible things and the Funeral Parlor is trying to stop them....but it's an extremely basic portrayal of a standoff if ever there was one. My hope is that if we give it time Okouchi's contributions will start to take effect and hopefully the characters will open up and become easier to root for and cheer against in a way that isn't mildly sarcastic as it is for me personally right now.

This is why Ryo is mentioned in interviews and Sawano isn't, this is why Ryo is listed first in PVs and the actual OP. You ask why people keep giving Ryo all the credit and I'm telling you why. Because he's mentioned more often by staff and pushed more by the promotion of the show because his album from Guilty Crown will easily outsell the Sawano OST. (and it helps that one of his members did the original character designs so they'll clearly talk about supercell more...) As far as most people are concerned they don't even know Sawano is working on this, even though he's leapt to the top level with firstly Unicorn and than Blue Exorcist, he is still far from a household name like Kanno or Kajiura. Sawano's basically replaced Taku Iwasaki as my favorite anime composer (I'm starting to think that Sawano is one of the aliens from Space Jam and sucked out Iwasaki's talent for making music so now Iwasaki is like Charles Barkley in that film )so it's not like I'm happy to see this misinformation spread, I'm simply explaining to you why it has happened.

Maybe we should work together on this one instead of butting heads for a change. Sawano definitely deserves more love and credit and I'm willing to work to see that it happens. Quote:

As an aside I barely remember the Gundam Seed/Destiny OST other than the T.M Revolution songs so maybe that speaks a bit to it's overall mediocrity among Gundam Soundtracks. It was Toshihiko Sahashi who is pretty much the guy you hire when you just want passable orchestral music and just can't get anyone else. He's someone who kind of ranks as something of a perennial honorable mention among my favorite anime composer lists. Frankly a lot of the guys tracks can be kind of generic if not outright plagiarized from other sources, but every now and then he has a really good volume like with The Big O which I still count as his best ever. Light years ahead of his other stuff in fact. |

Looking at this sentence again:

Or is there some kind of catch we havn't been told about that comes with using this sinful power?Or am I just overthinking things? As for Gai,he actualy reminds me more of Kiefer from Rideback, another leader of mecha riding rebels/"terrorists" group under a cruel totalitarian japanese regime in the not too distant future.

We also don't know that the historical GHQ is the basis for that. Obviously the name is supposed to evoke similar feelings but the writing is in no way realistic in that regards. Again GHQ is a reworked Brittania from multiple angles rather than a futuristic GHQ. Quote:

The only time that I've seen the heroine's face expression changed is when she is singing in the first episode (near the ending). As well as the opening when you says "I'm yours". So, it would be great to see that expression in different occasions.

Not really. I actually loved Code Geass. Just so far, it's been really similar to CG, which has its negatives and pluses. The whole affair seems like Yoshino and Ōkouchi wanting to try and make a better version of CG with better music, better character designs, and more realistic characters. I think Inori is a horrible character though so far but it's only two episodes in. The villains are also horribly written. Character development takes time and saying that whichever character isn't developed, isn't a fair criticism of a show only two episodes in of a 22 episode show.

I still fail to see any resemblance Guilty Crown has with Code Geass since the characters, settings and feel are all different.
Anyway, Kana Hanazawa is back and she's using her rough, tough voice from Freezing which i enjoyed very much. (Did not expect the...immodest screams she made.) And i'm surprise that the guy who did Ichika in IS is a bad guy. Damm is Daryl so evil and full of himself. PS: Despite what Funimation said, I'm still going to call Gai's group "The Undertakers" since it sounds cool compare to Funeral Parlor.
