REVIEW: Guilty Crown Episodes 1-5 Streaming

When you get down to it, it really just comes down to this: Your standards are lower than mine. You're willing to wallow in mediocrity and I'm not.

Again, your examples fails you. Persona 4 isn't a good anime, although it was a great game. It started really well, but fell short after three episodes. Mirai Nikki is debateble. Many loved it at first (I included), but it's slowly showing its ugly face and desire to be just a fleeting sensation.

If you wanted good examples of great anime from this season, the best choices are Fate/Zero and ChiharaFuyu, and even those can be arguable.

My brother himself is an incredible story writer who criticizes everything. And he's never wrong.

Your move.

No-one needs to move, you've already destroyed your own argument. If your brother criticises everything then that strongly implies he thinks nothing is good (or good enough), and I'm sure ninety-nine percent of people are going to counter that with a "Get outta town".

Besides, what does your brother have to do with anything? Did I miss something?

I disagree with your assessments of Chihayafuru, Fate/Zero and Mirai Nikki, but I can't really be bothered to set you straight. All the more so since this is a thread about Guilty Crown.

I actually agree with most of what he said and despite that...yeah, you're absolutely right dtm42.

When someone tries to justify their claims by telling people "I'm an aspiring writer so I'm unbiased" you really just undermine your own credibility. Same goes for claiming that your brother is "never wrong". I mean, what does that even mean? How would one possibly verify their opinion on an anime to be "correct"?

I respect my brother. Someone who stands higher than humanity itself is worth respecting.

Criticize me all you want. It changes nothing.

Let's get back on topic again (ignore the trolls and stupid comments)
So I've read all the comments and I'm really surprised no one mentioned this at all. How come nobody mentioned Code Geass??? Guilty Crown shares more similarities with CG than any other animes previously mentioned above (AnoHana, Fate/zero, ...).
Anyway, this is my judgment on GC: First, lets start off with characters.
In Code Geass, We have Lelouch as a main character. I won't spoil the details, but the point is, he is a very unique character (If you've seen CG, you know exactly what I'm talking about). Just google "Byronic hero". Then, we have Shu. Unlike Lelouch, Shu is rather ordinary, normal. Next, the setting (or the world/universe...) of both anime are, in terms of what is there (mechas, resistance group, Japan, foreign nations, school, supernatural powers...), are very similar. So for this comparison let's say they're the same.
The intention of GC is to show us audience a different side of CG, that's what I think at least. "What would happen if someone else were to be put into the same situation?" I think this is the kind of story Guilty Crown is meant to be. (I find it interesting seeing it this way)

I only intend to bring back this thread to life. Don't die yet!

I mentioned this on the preview guide topic, but was often disregarded because the mood is very different.

I will admit that's one way to look at it, but the whole effort suffers from one structural flaw (among others): Shu isn't a compelling protagonist.
