Finished Dead-oman Wonderland. Wow, did they have a limit on the episodes they could make and forgot to end it? I'm actually pretty happy with the ending(terrible ending for a show though), but I am planning on reading the manga.

Overall impressions: Crow is awesome and Minatsuki is HNNNNNNGGGGGG-worthy. I still hate Ganta, but I appreciate his awesome moments. 6/10, mostly because of episodes 5 and 6, the occasional awesome moment helped too. The plot has plenty of holes, it's as if a woodpecker got to it :3

AOS-
Ganta is set on breaking free, breaks a hole through the wall, everyone escapes while he stays behind to "save his other friends", presumably the Takami siblings, one of which is actually convicted of murder.

Plans on killing Wretched Egg and Promoter, never happens...

Shiro's legs magically heal, she was about to go into a berserk rage, never happens.

Makina was doing some stealth sneaking, never got concluded.

Super Priest isn't the final enemy even though they presented it that way.

The way they left it allows for a second season but they didn't do a good job hinting it.

Manga isn't done yet is why the episodes were limited 👎 .

Latest chapter is winding up to the final battle of Shiro vs Ganta vs Mockingbird...all for Shiro's heart.

What the hell was that? :lol:

This may turn out to be too shounen-ish for my taste. We will see.

Just keep watching, man. The show's REALLY good(which makes me want to play the game).


Oh 🤬! Guilty Crown 15:
HAREEEEEEEE!!! NOOOOO!!!

Goddamn that's a kick in the balls. I know Shu wanted to get immediate revenge, but I don't understand why he had to force Inori to get her void... so violently too. I guess it's just to make the scene more dramatic, but I don't like it.

Shu snaps! His resolve to become the king makes me <3 him, but I'd like it if he doesn't become a complete asshole.

Not really sure I like this one, just too weird looking to me.
 
Guilty Crown 15:

Totally could've used Hare last Saturday when our fill light decided to blow up halfway through the shoot.

Hare no!!! :( :( :(

At least her death was the jump start Shu needed to become worth a damn. Now he'll make quick decisions and turn awesome like when he got Inori's void.

But if you were to double dip, the money could have gone to the movies :/
Click to expand...
The double-dipping will happen after I get the movies. The order of how I'll buy Eden of the East.

BD/DVD Combo Pack>Movie 1 DVD/BD Combo Pack>Movie 2 BD/DVD Combo Pack>Separate BD>Seperate DVD>Japanese Blu-ray box with entire series (TV series + Both movies.) (?-Still debating if I want to go for it.)
-----------------------
BD with English subs, and a great looking booklet (Which I highly, highly doubt will come over. We don't really get the premium items and extras Japan gets all that much.:(), sold!:D

BTW on the Deadman Wonderland talk, manga is still on-going, and also ouch, it never made the top rankings for Blu-ray and DVD sales. I guess it sold The World God Only Knows bad, so you'll never see it continue in anime form.

Heh, never knew they did a gimmick like this before.:lol:

On the other hand, this indicates potential. The interest and the market is definitely there. There are Japanese fans who ARE willing to buy when the prices are significantly lower as I've cited here. In fact, reverse importation wouldn't be considered a problem if this were not the case.
Click to expand...
Not only would they not have to worry about reverse importation anymore, they wouldn't have to worry about making any profit at all. The extremely cheap first Volume of Nana with only 1 episode on it was a gimmick to generate buzz, sold at 777 yen for 77 days. In and of itself, it almost certainly lost them money, which isn't something most businesses shoot for if they'd like to remain in business. Meanwhile the remaining higher priced volumes were probably decently profitable, despite much lower sales. Vastly increased sales are worthless if to get those sales you have to price something so low that you're selling it at a loss.

Guilty Crown Ep. 15:

This is bullsh...crap. Why is it in every movie, book, TV show, anime, manga, or otherwise that I read or watch has a character that I absolutely adore dies? I hate that crap -- why not kill Yahiro, or Souta (no, I like him as well but it's his (and the rest of his group trying to prove their worth) fault in the first damn place). I teared a little; and now Shu has really come to terms with the situation - reacting no differently than I would have. He simply walked up to Inori, forced her down and exposed her Void and just started tearing 🤬 apart. I was expecting him to get even more angry than he actually did once he started pummeling Souta... whom I admittedly felt sorry for, because despite his inane stupidity, he was only trying to prove that draconian ranking system was unnecessary.

Now, Shu is going to become a despot - or, at least so it seems - finally speaking his true feelings (no matter how dark or hurtful they may be) and is seriously, seriously pissed. At everyone. Unwilling to bend for anyone.

Hare. Goddammit.

Ugh, don't remind me of that ear-rape. :sick:

I'm off to bed, more exams tomorrow. Business time will only drain me.

GC15:

HARE!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( 🤬👎

That was heart-breaking as hell. Hare gone and dead makes it more difficult if something happens to them.... they don't have someone to heal them. Not only that, Hare loved Shu, and finally kinda got to tell him that before all this stuff went down. Add to fact that she was the only one that really believed in him! Shu, is royally pissed and you know what? I hope that he goes mess these guys up, I hope he tells everyone to help in there own way, and I hope to God that he tells everyone to get the hell out of his way. Hell have no fury over a scorned lover, whether alive or death.

:( --- Randy

For some reason a few people were complaining there was too much Yoko (crazy, I know), so it's now a One A Day Random deal. Except for RACECAR who has re-appropriated OADY for Yoruichi. Makes me wonder how long he's been waiting for this to happen lol.
 
You know, while watching GC I was seriously thinking to myself "Yeah... I'm not watching this anymore. 🤬 whoever thought this was a good arc to pursue."?

I won't be surprised if you drop it (I have yet to see ep 15-I will in like half an hour-, so I don't know what happened.) as Guilty Crown is one of the most mixed bag shows around (Look around the MAL page, especially for the reviews. They're all over the place.). Two of my friends on MAL consider it a bad show, one giving it a 4/10, and another, a 1/10. I've had discussions with them asking why it was low-scoring for them. I'll post this response one gave.
I've sat through some bad series before, but I think Guilty Crown takes the cake. The biggest problem with GC is that isn't not inherently bad...it actually has a lot of qualities and elements that could make it an exciting show. It has action, a fairly interesting plot and some good characters. But the bad writing takes all of that and turns it into a generic clichefest of sappy emotions and poorly thought-out plot twists. I honestly can't believe that some people don't consider this to be bad - maybe it's just me. Frankly, the thing that makes me hate it the most is that just when there feels like there is a glimmer of hope they immediately crush it (the most recent episode comes to mind). You think Shoe is going to man up and become cool - but then they turn and throw in more superpowers that make no sense and try to create forced shipping between two characters that have hardly even interacted. In the end there's only one reason to watch this show and his name is Scarface, but not even he can save it now.

In the end, it's a low scoring show because the plot is not only filled with holes, but it's intentionally written to be exciting without giving much consideration to the characters. They're much more focused on making Shoe into some sort of superpowered badass than a compelling character with interesting motivations. Overall - it feels very shallow compared to the many series before it with similar concepts.

You don't want to watch it anymore? I'd say it's better than it was. The random Funeral Parlour missions were dum.


I enjoy Guilty Crown as a production value action fest. It's entertaining, but not deep or original. The music, art and animation kick ass though.
