Finally! I got to review this series, long after it ended and after changing the site’s layout featuring GC. Well, the post got delayed, since this was originally written for the Orange Mushroom, which is a company newsletter in where I’m working. -C

Last month marks the end of the Winter season anime in Japan, which also marked the end of the two-season anime Guilty Crown. Coming with surprisingly crisp art, stunning and fluid animation, along with the powerful music and vocals by renowned band supercell, the anime ended with a bit mixed reactions from the community — both fans and detractors alike.

Guilty Crown (ギルティクラウン Giruti Kuraun) is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Production I.G which airs on Fuji TV‘s noitaminA program block in October 2011. Written by Hiroyuki Yoshino, the series feels like that it is the spiritual successor to Code Geass, an anime that he had served as an assistant to the show’s creator, Ichirou Ōkouchi.
