Back at home with good internet.
Secondly, the first half had Shu actually learning how to rely on his friends. Now, he views everyone by how powerful their void is. If they're weak, he could give less than two 🤬 about that person. This is what he thinks of Souta already. He could care less, and it's like he's forgotten who Souta is completely.
The Inori thing, that I'm not surprised at.
As for Shu losing
With keeping
Also in the first half, you didn't have all these plot holes, and the story progressing so fast at the expense of background, and proper character development. The second half is moving so fast, you can hardly care about the characters. Many get next to no screen time. Many have become minor characters when they were main.
It's similar to what I've been experiencing in Shakugan no Shana III (Final) where in that, the character development and story suffers from adding too many characters at once, so you have all these nobodies that you could care less about. It's called pacing, and Guilty Crown's second half is getting that vital part wrong.
he still would have turned out the way he is now as more people end up dying.
As for Souta, how would you like it if your best friend turned into a massive jerk that put you at the bottom of the pile, and your friendship is null now? Not to mention if Souta disobeyed Shu ever, Shu would kill him. Souta's actions are completely understandable.
I used really look forward to watching Guilty Crown every week, now with how things have been going, I hardly ever look forward to it. I just now watch it, and can patiently wait for the next episode. They could have one episode a year at this point and I could deal with it with no problems.
The first half first off was better in how they had much better character development. Yes Shu was a whiny, weak-hearted protagonist, but he did give it all he had. You could feel sympathy for him as he acted similar to how many people would in his position. The Shu in the second half, he's merely stating the obvious, and doesn't really make all that good of decisions as a leader. People only lean on him because he can use voids, and he's their only hope.Yeah, I read that. And aside from
I disagree. So please, TC, enlighten me as to why the first half is better. The first half lacked character motive and progression, nowShadowy motives not being clear and Gai coming back being stupid
Shu has to deal with his own uprising among his fellow students. The result of cruel decisions and keeping void-death a secret, Inori's own inner monster and the loss of his guilty crown.

Inside her is basically Mana, the girl who caused the Lost Christmas incident over Shu not wanting to make love to her, so it was to be expected she would be taking over Inori's body for a few moments.
As for Shu losing
his power, that was hardly interesting. Gai is just getting him off his high horse (He didn't get there well.) by doing what he's doing. Gai is trying to knock common sense into him.
With keeping
void-death hidden, you do realize he didn't find out about it until after Yahiro finally revealed it to him after Shu saw it first-hand right? Shu wasn't really hiding anything, it was mainly Yahiro hiding things. It's just Arisa spreading news about void-death, and making it seem like Shu was hiding it the whole time, when it was really Yahiro. She only did it however to get more people on her side for the coup.

His motivation? His motivation from the start before people started dying was to get through this whole mess with as few casualties as possible.Not to mention:
As previously alluded to, the burden of two deaths (mostly Hare's) being on his shoulders, arguably three with Gai. Which is clearly his motivation as seen in 17.
Each death only got him to get back to reality more and more. It's not some game, these people (Why they want to eliminate the Japanese, their background, and more are so vague it's like WTF?) are out to eliminate everyone in the perimeter, and Shu is finally realizing just how badly they want to do it.
Yes that was a turning point, but the way he's reacting off of it, he's just become heartless as a result, but he pretty much was already becoming like that from the pressure being put on him as being the student body's only hope. IfOh yeah, Hare's death was an excellent turning point for Shu's character. The death of a loved one is never easy... and Souta still had the nerve to turn on him because of his change.
🤬 you Souta.
Guilty Crown is better than ever.
Hare never died,

It is over-hyped. It's good, but over-hyped. It's not some show that should be praised more than the Holy Grail....I can't stand most Len songs... I can't get over his voice when he's alone.
...and aww I was planning to watch Guilty Crown (I thought it looked pretty nice, oh and the Tsugumi), but it sounds to be a bit over-hyped from what I am hearing here.

Because I suck at explaining these things well. Considering how if someone asked why I love One Piece so much, consider it a masterpiece, and why it's my favorite anime, and I would struggle to give a good in-depth explanation, yeah...Hearing from who? TC hardly ever explains the reasons he thinks of GC the way he does, and Andy, being a contradictory buttmunch, actually likes GC. He squees just as much as the rest of us.![]()
