The second half turned out to be completely the opposite of the first half and yet again, my old belief about over-hyped anime came creeping in. However, what started off as an anime with boundless potential soon turned into a melodramatic hyperdrive that goes ahead with an insanely rapid speed. Even the anime’s emphasis on character development during the first half is absolutely commendable.

Surprisingly, ‘Guilty Crown’ is not like that and brings in some really fresh never-seen-before ideas to the table. Many anime shows even claim to be “originals” but turn out to be nothing but concepts of famous tales thrown around together for the sake of a unique story.

It takes great courage to actually bring in something new to the anime world instead of going for the same old repetitive stories that solely rely on fan service for sales. And by “original”, I mean that it has not been adapted from a manga or a light novel, unlike most other anime. One great thing about ‘Guilty Crown’ is that even though its plot comes off as a little ridiculous at times, all of it is original.
