| This ending was indeed rushed a lot but overall wasn't so bad. However i feel that something is missing, hope they include an extra episode to provide better explanation and a proper ending for all characters. 4/5. |
| I loved the anime untile the end. It had stuff that I like to watch, yes there are questions that are unanswered, but do we really care that much? The ending well made me tear a bit. Inori died, no shit sherlock. But it was unfair, the fact that they would've died together would've been really nice, but until the point where he was released from the crystal, I was like "Fuck no". I gotta draw a manga strip of how I want it to end. I cannot except this crap ending. Just because of the ending, my 10/10 score basis dropped to 9/10. The anime is lucky it has a beautiful OST. |
| Mixed feelings about this show. People calling it utter garbage are trolls. Yes, it wasn't the best show, yes there's a LOT OF PLOT HOLES, yes the ending sucked, but that doesn't mean justify giving it a score of 1 or 2 or 3 out of 10. I can name plenty of series that are much worse than guilty crown. Anyways, overall 7/10, I didn't like the way the ending turned out, they should've just had them both die or something. Shu being blind, without inori, fake arm, and all really makes me feel bad for him. He's been shitted on the entire series and in the end he still gets the short end of the stick. |

| At least it was better than the Mass Effect 3 Ending. |
 |
| aww man, inori died, for some reason it kinda makes me feel sad and sorry for shu, the love of his life is dead and gone forever i guess this is the end of this anime, its been fun but the ending seemed to lack something, i wish they would make more episodes and another season but there is not much to go on and they already seem to be at peace 4 years later im glad ayase, shu survived but they are not a couple sadly, i guess he will grow old listening to inori's songs because thats the only thing he has left of her and the only way he will be close to her overall i think this was a good anime its an 8.5-9/10 for me, although the first half wasn't all that |
 |
| Oh man, Shu is blind |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
Telesis said: The first half of guilty crown was really good and the best ive seen in a while... After mana and gai died the first time the show started to fall. You can't give it a low score if you look the the anime as a whole (all 22 episodes)Zhou said: More like how can anyone like this show. It has been a while since I have given anything under a 5. This just managed to do it. Only thing saving it from a 1-2 is the music/animation.Ballet opera... oh my god. Incredible high production value, plot turned dumb, shitty ending, left me with nothing. How can anyone really like this ending? |
| [Input amazing signature] Jelly? |
| what can i say... show: 4/10 ending: 1/10 |

GuiltyKing said: EUH! Me it's the opposite. DEPRESSED AS SHIT! I think the authors wanted to give out the message of staying faithful to your love till your death. But that backfired badly I see. Well it was not something they should have done but on the opposite you do know with all the young people seeing this, it encourages lover suicides. IMO I think that would be bad. The ending totally tells to live on even without your lover and ailments. It furthermore encourages to treasure friendship, cause IMO Shu would suicide like that with no support.Fuck fuck fuck FUCK NO! Why? Why the fuck did they kill Inori and left Shu alone? And on top of that he is fucking blind and only has his memories of Inori? Fuck what is this shit? I've defended this anime the whole freakin' time because I knew that the writers wouldn't let me down and now they dare to literally take a shit on their fans. This ending isn't good- it's a sadistic act and one of the most fucked up endings I've seen to date. Why not kill them both? I would've been sad as fuck but at least they would've stayed together. Or why not save them both with two freakin' void genomes *plus* Inori's power? Happy ending? No it's better to mindfuck the audience. Ugh I'm so pissed right now; I can't believe this is really happening. FUCK |
| Inori is the ultimate hero.. T____T AWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! ITS OVER!!!! ;~; Seeing those flashbacks at the end made me think to myself "DAMN, WE WENT THROUGH A REALLY LONG JOURNEY! ;~;" I SWEAR.. IT FELT LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN I SAW EPISODE 1! T____T ..10/10 BUT IM STILL MAD ABOUT 1 THING!! FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKINGGGGG TSUGUMI AND DARYL NOT GETTING TOGETHER AT THE END!!!!!!!!!! T_________________T THEY R ONE OF MY ULTIMATE OTPS!!! T_______________T |

| WHAT THE FUCK is up with good guys turning into bad guys wanting to be good guys at the end with little disregard for EVERYTHING ELSE just like bad guys. Gai's character is fucking lame. "Oh just didn't want to be selected out". This emo antihero bullshit really has to stop, it's overdone and doesn't add anything to the story aside from a bad taste in the viewer's mouth when explaining why he was being a complete and utter douche. "Then you would come to stop us." - Gai "YOU RIPPED OFF MY ARM, LEFT ME FOR DEAD, TRIED TO KILL ME, AND USED MY WOMAN'S BODY AS A VESSEL FOR THAT DUMB BITCH!" - Proper response How many times has Shu almost been killed because of Gai's plans due to insane self righteousness? And this bittersweet ending just as cliched. Shu was willing to sacrifice himself to be in stasis with Inori for the rest of eternity (or until the crystals get destroyed, don't really know the science behind it). I know Inori is kind and all but if the dude is willing to sacrifice himself to be with the one he loves (who wouldn't, amirite?), just let him. Why would the writers think it's a good idea to revive him (in a tower that's about to be destroyed, no less) but them give him severe handicaps and the loss of his love? It's an awful idea. The ending just destroyed the notion of self sacrifice for the rest of humanity, his friends, his family, everyone afflicted with the crystal cancer. When he got his powers back and took it upon himself to carry THEIR burdens, it meant something, that he was a very good guy. Inori taking that away from him just makes him a blind regular guy. And what the hell is up with the blindness anyway? Not sure if I just wasn't paying attention or what, but it felt really left field, because Mana went blind after her chest dildo got destroyed, Inori got it, and gave it to Shu in exchange for the crystal herpes. Urgh, nandafuckingyo! |

T_________________T THEY R ONE OF MY ULTIMATE OTPS!!! T_______________T Eh 22 episode season isn't really a "long journey" It's an average season length :O. A long journey for an anime show would be like Major: Messages, the flashbacks at the end = nostalgia over 9000 |
| i think it should of ended with shu's death with inori, he would be a legend and known for his sacrifice and like gai and mana they would be together even after death |
|
| The tears... won't stop. God things must really suck for Shu. Gai, Hare, Jun and now Inori... He can't ever win can he? Did anyone else see the Happy Birthday Hare on the cake? Jesus that made me even sadder. This series had it's ups and downs but I was always so entertained with it. I give it a 6 maybe a 7 . On another thought, I wonder why Shu went blind. |
 |
| I agree it was far to expected it feels like a lelouch and suzaku ending. Not to mention I was expecting a epic battle like 21 had but, overall it was a let down also why was shu blind? I didn't get that part at all. We will see what they do for season 2 I guess |
| This anime was great overall; though i thought that the ending was pretty lackluster. |
 |
| FUCKING HORRIBLE ENDING 6/10 and that's being generous..can't believe he went blind |

tala80 said: abaanda said: what is the point of him living if hes BLIND????????????????????????????????????????? Dude! What are you trying to say about blind people? :( THIS! As Shu was absorbing all the crystals all I could think was how brave he was to do so. I've never liked him up until that point. It's such a shame that he's going to have a lonely life without Inori now :( |
  |
abaanda said: I FIGURED IT OUT! Apart from a possible side effect of all the ordeal to save the planet, Shu took in the blindness due to Inori being blind in the following,what is the point of him living if hes BLIND?????????????????????????????????????????  at that moment she is blind. Hence why she felt better only when she touched Shu, cause she could not see him. Therefore he wanted something to connect him to Inori still and had really nothing. So I assume somehow he took that with him to be reminded of the last ailment of Inori. Perhaps a last suffering of her. Also am I the only one who LOVES INORI's art in the following,  I find it's best of all the stuff in this series in terms of Inori: MOE + Sexy + Gorgeous. Am I the only one?

| Personnally, I would have liked the fight between Shu and Gai to have lasted longer, I mean Shu is getting his butt kicked by Gai, then suddenly get's Inori's void through the flower formed by her tear, and then beats Gai with one blow, 2 blows tops. Also, I feel really bad for Shu, he went through all that to save Inori just to see her die, in his arms no less. And about Shu being blind or partially blind, how did that happen by the way? And is he also partially deaf, because the thing he put on his ear looked like a hearing aid. Or that could just be my mistake. |
Yumekichi11 said: Even more Ironic of Tsugumi in the following,  and in the spoiler Thanks for this, only good thing about the episode (along with Ayase's contribution.) I would place my series rating, but it would bring hounds. Let's just say it's low, quite low. |
| i agree with guilty king, shu was thrown into this entire mess, was forced to kill, saw his friends die, forced to become a tyrant, had his arm cut off, saved the world only to have his girl give her life (strings) for him and he lives on without his sight and a mechanical arm IT TOTALLY SUCKS |
|
GuiltyKing said: Shu went through *so much* shit and lost so much that it's surprising that he hasn't gone insane yet. After all the pain he endured it would've been beautiful to give him a peaceful life with the one person that understood him the whole time. But instead Inori died in front of his eyes and then he even lost eyesight. It's depressing as hell. What should one learn from this anime? From Shu? That life will fuck you either way? It's not understandable for me. It's too sad and simply unfair. Shu doesn't deserve that treatment, period. This so very much so; but on the blind note i think its symbolism due to the last scene; that all he will ever "see" is Inori as was shown when he closed his eyes, it also adds to note that she is the last thing he ever saw; so whether he ends up with Ayase or not its still a bitter feeling for that reason alone; that he will never be able to hold Inori like he sees her, that she is gone, and that the world they lived in is forever dark to him. |
 |
| WOW WTF WHAT A DEPRESSING ENDING. HE LOST HIS EYESIGHT, HIS ARM, AND NOW INORI TOO. |

How can anyone really like this ending? Mmh, I think I would give it a 5-6 because of how dumb it turned out at the end of the first half and how it continued that way. As I said, production value is high, it's eye candy and the first half is decent, you can enjoy watching it to some degree . But "like", no fucking way, I agree on that with you. Jeez, does anyone by chance live in Japan and go punch the writers. |
GuiltyKing said: I agree but perhaps it's show even with the worst shit you go through to live on. I think it might have to do with the recent crisis and young ones being depressed over it. I also think that the anime does give some form of courage to live on one way or another. I agree with you that is depressing and couples not watching this anime but for loners to have hopes that even when one is gone that it's not over and to live on could be a good powerhouse IMO. Maybe we see it differently, that's all.Yumekichi11 said: EUH! Me it's the opposite. DEPRESSED AS SHIT!

tala80 said: I'm probably the only person that wanted Shu and Inori to survive together. : you are not yea i think shu took inori's blindness at the last moment so she could see him that or the effects of absorbing the cancer got to him |
|
| i didnt like the end, was expecting something better, would be much better with shu dying. but i think this anime was great, when i thought i would drop the show it got better and turn into a real entertaing show. 8.5(9)/10 for me(almost a 8, beacuse of this final episode) |
| WOW I can't believe the Producers pulled this bullshit again...6/10 |

They should make an alternate where shu and inori die Totally, they can't pull it off as the official ending, but a 'What if' OVA would content my life a bit more. |
| This show gets an 8/10 because that ending was way too sad for me. also, they should have killed off Arisa. That is all. |
Zhou said: BALLET?momoajkungg said: WTF was up with Mana's dance. Ballet opera, man! That scene was a face-palm moment, what did they think when they wrote it and animated it.  Totally! I loved that random insertion. Can't deny how Mana looks there too. Sexy and graceful! I think it was parody with France. Ballet originates from there, yes? |
GuiltyKing said: Irrelevant how you look at it- it doesn't make sense. Shu endured all the pain (lost Hare, got betrayed, mentally destroyed etc etc) and wore the "Guilty Crown" to protect and save his girl; which by the way is the person who helped him bearing all the sadness and sorrow. So one would naturally expect to see a happy end. Of course that doesn't happen since the writers were probably high as fuck when writing the last episode. Seriously, Shu, take that music device and slam it in your face till you stop breathing. You'll be better off. And bear with my little rants, guys. They'll stop eventually lol. Thank god your alive, this made me feel so much better <3 |
| Yesterday I watched Angel Beats and I cried. Last week when I watched Fairy Tail I cried even though I knew what was going to happen because I already read it months ago. THIS, nothing... so pointless. |
