Strictly average movie
... View MoreUnshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreI honestly thought the characters and the music were pretty great in this. Although I did find that i was lost midway of the series regarding the storyline, it's possibly because there were too many characters added to the anime or just the fact it was just my way of thinking. Who knows? lolAnyways i do have to say it was sad in the end. Inori was leaving Shu and the fact she wasn't around with him 5 years later with the reunion dinner he had with the friends. I suppose the apocalypse should've been longer in that case if they both wanted to be together for longer. Which of course didn't happen and anyways if the apocalypse was longer, it would still continue to destroy and crystallize humanity. By the way, the crystallization was absouletely breathtaking in the anime. I honestly didn't see it like a threat but rather an appreciation to the anime artist's who have done a phenomenal job on getting the detail of the crystals right!Even though this anime didn't make me cry or think it was the best, it was quite nice to watch especially if you are into apocalyptic movies or series! I definately recommend you watching this to get a trill of a apocalypse!
... View MoreI've been a die hard code geass fan and was looking something similar to that anime so i came across guilty crown and decide to give it a go without checking any reviews and spoilers. First of all the opening theme song is really good and the first episode of guilty crown made me nostalgic and reminds me of code geass but as soon as the show progressed,it literally become awful. I feel like it's going at too high pace,lots of plot hole,and the development of most of the character was beyond any logic.-CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM HERE ON- And creator of the show was really unfair to the protagonist shu,first made him an orphan,then make him forget everything about his sister, then made him fall in love with a girl whom he would eventually lose at the end,made him trust a friend who would betray him later,give him power of kings and take away the power with sacrifice of his one hand,gives him cancer stone over his handsome face for sometime and at the last make him blind.Really what type of ending was that?It was better to let shu die rather then letting him living with the pain,there could have been a happy ending but the creator said no and the end the anime in awful way with death of inori.And there is no villain in the show,everyone is good just the circumstances made them bad so eventually all r anti-heroes. i find this thing beyond any logic,i was like omg i can't take this anymore. *gai-a good guy till 70% of the show,bad guy fr 25% and rest 5% he tells why he became bad just to save the world.*mana-a character with plot holes level over 8000,she was good,she was bad,she was everything. i mean there wasn't any specific way to judge the character even i've a doubt if the creator can judge her character or not.*arisa-another mindless character,almost same as gai,good-bad mixed.*daryl-a full psycho character who tries to kill all but from inside has a good kind heart.*segai-are you ever really obsessed with light over the sky far away or even a power saving bulb?if so then ur fav character must be him.**That apple guy with void power and that old man who killed shu dads,can't remember their names but they were the worst character i've ever seen.At first place the anime should not be made,it really made me tear my beautiful hair apart because i have to watched the series of 22 episode (22minutes *22=484minutes aka 8hours 4miutes :( just because i spend 30$ on it. Only good thing was music,with no doubt it was really beautiful.points for each thing- ANIMATION-7/10. MUSIC-10/10. CHARACTERS-3/10. CHARACTERS DEVELOPMENT-3/10. PLOT-2/10. First half-5/10. second half-3/10. Ending-2/10. Romance and action-4/10. logic and explaination-1/10. That feeling of awesomeness and made you cry in this anime-1/10. AVERAGE REVIEW-4/10.
... View MoreThis is possibly one of the most unique animes I've ever seen, every aspect is completely new and fresh. The animation is very nice and don't even get me started on the music the music is 5/5. I wont lie for about the first 6 episodes, i enjoyed it and i was interested because the show was so unique and different from your average anime but it wasn't to die for but after around episode 7 my opinion changed completely this show took off and never went back down. If your looking for something fresh that you haven't seen before and you like lots of action, dark themed, and a touch of romance this is for you. Now there are some holes in the entire series but that is because there HAS to be a second season, there is just far to much content for all the information in one season. That being said the holes are minor enough that it plays no major role in how the story plays out but still most people would want to know.Overall: 4/5 Why not 5/5? Because theirs no season 2 which is completely necessary in my opinion. Season ones ending was pretty depressing, not saying its bad, i mean emotionally depressing lol. I'm really hoping for a season two theirs a lot of room to play with in this series still. Music: 5/5, animation: 5/5, storyline/theme/uniqueness:10/5!(seriously i loved how different this was to your average, it broke the mold). Its worth the watch give it a try to at least episode 8, don't drop it before you'll regret it.
... View MoreSo, this show is about pretty fun (not overly cool) fight scenes, a little bit about helping other people, and a lot about the love between the two main characters.I was actually moved by the love Shu and Inori had--and I don't think I've ever been moved by a show, movie, or anime's love bond, but theirs was just something special.The show is short; yet, it is easily just one of my favorites and I'll always keep it in my collection for another go-around in the future. I will say, while the last 11 episodes are packed with more action, the first 11 episodes are better, and I strangely think the last 11 could have been summed up quicker--that's not to say they are slow, for they move faster than the first 11, it's just... well, you will see.---That being said, I really didn't like the ending at all, and to me, it's the ending that really makes me want to re-watch an anime. Still, I'd never give a show a 9 if the ending was bad, for it'd be a 7 or lower, but I really did enjoy it. Not to mention it's just beautiful animations. ---IN SHORT: if you haven't watched it, do it. Set aside a week and just enjoy a few episodes at a time, and try to live in the relationship between the two main characters. Also, be sure to listen to the intro song for the first 11 episodes--I must have listened to it dozens of times.Plot: 7/10 Music: 8/10 Characters: 9/10 Animation: 10/10Overall Impression (I don't do averages for impressions): 9/10
