Luna said: No, actually, I didn't see any of that. It was recommended to me by someone elsewhere who compared it to a trilogy of books I read and loved earlier this year.
Veers said: Guilty Crown 1-3 - Oh boy. I'm not even sure what to say about this show. It's a complete wreck. It's like the textbook definition of "so bad it's so good." Production values are high, so the show is visually gripping, but the writing...ugh. This show is downright offensive in the way it baits with such a strong concept then, bam, next thing you know it's throwing in high school uniforms, accidental boob groping, and alkjfdhgkadjhgakugakcsjgg. Guilty Crown is obviously a show you're supposed to switch your brain off and just enjoy but I can't do it. There's just so much that screams wasted potential that the show makes me want to get angry at the writers. I've heard from people who shared my opinion of the first few episodes that it's gradually getting "better" but I'm not sure how much of that is the show's writing quality actually picking up or how much of it is actually people giving up and throwing their expectations bar to the floor so Guilty Crown can make it over. Planning to catch up on the next 3-4 episodes this week and see if this one is worth continuing. If nothing else, as mentioned, the visuals really are pretty awesome--almost awesome enough to warrant watching the show once just for them (great action scenes).
