Yea yea, I know its 6 episodes into the season! This review is super late. Wanted to hand it over to MedusaS because she's watching it as well, but he was like "I already did a review!!"
Anyway, let's get down to business, with 'Guilty Crown!'
Well, just from watching the first episode, you can tell that Japan is under siege. Well, the truth is, it is now the year 2039!
Well, the fact is, in 2029, Japan has been plagued by a virus called 'Apocalypse Virus', which is this very crystal-like growth that can kill a person. With this, Japan plunges into a state of chaos and confusion. This is where the international organization, GHQ, steps into Japan. The GHQ conducts research to rid people of the virus, however, executes martial law (Forced Government) upon Japan and controls it under its own interests.
Until 10 years later, that is...
In 2039, a new organization, called the "Undertakers" or "Funeral Parlor" as some call it, begins operations to rid GHQ of its 'sick' control. People are getting killed and injured, even if they are innocent, and lives continue to be destroyed. Anyone who opposes GHQ gets this: Endlaves, fighting robots that are controlled by human minds.

| Epic run through fire. |
And thats when Shu breaks it in an epic struggle...
And now Shu has the ability of VOID GENOME, which is one of the most EPIC and SICK powers I have EVER seen. Shu is now able to extract powerful weapons based on people's 'soul/personality' from his right hand, and kill his opponents! OMG its so awesome!!And ironically, it was his mum, Haruka Ouma, which was behind its development.
So now, the leader of the Undertakers, Tsutsugami Gai, takes Ouma Shu to become a member of them, and he begins his adventure of a lifetime, kicking GHQ butt!

| Undertaker Leader: Gai |
Well, plotwise, I have to say, its an excellent job, smooth and easy to understand, as well as the fact it is well developed. Many things are shown well and explained well.
Theme? Well its right on target. It's DEFINITELY an action type and sci-fi sort of anime, if that was what it was trying to achieve. And as for atmosphere, well, watch the PV below. And as a bonus, the songs and music used in the anime really complements the mood of the show, of which makes it even more exciting and epic.

Guilty Crown has 22 episodes, and premiered on October 14. It is fansubbed by Doki, CoalGuys, Commie, Tsuki-Hatsuyuki and Darksoul!
And of course, I love the song sung by Inori: Euterpe.
Well, peering through the voice actors, I'm SHOCKED. It has an UNIMAGINABLE amount of voice actors that also come from my other favourite animes!

Well it's mainly because some people commented that knowing the voice actors makes it more appealing for them to watch. Really? Well anyway, here are your voice actors. But I'm not going to do this again, too tiring.
And I will be away for a week for a camp (No internet... T_T)
Bye!
