Guilty Crown is probably one of the animes you don't want to miss. The story is fantastic, dialogue is well-made, animation is top-notch and the entertainment will blow you off the sky. This is one of its kind in its unique way which you would not find in many animes.

The story, Guilty Crown is written by Hiroyuki Yoshino (who written the story of multi-awarded series Code Geass R1 & R2) and directed by Tetsuro Araki ( who directed the amazing adaptation of Death Note). Having both geniuses combining their work, a whole new different level masterpiece, the Guilty Crown revolves!

Guilty Crown is not your usual story adaptation from manga but screenwritten, as like Code Geass which later on only releases its spin-off visual novel (manga) version. The plot of the story is as written in the summary of this anime which relates to a 17 year-old boy, Ohma Shu that was bestow 'The Power of Kings' on him which grants the power to reach inside another person's body and extract and materialize a weapon from it. Later, he became a member of a resistance guerrilla group called "Undertaker", whose members pilot mecha weapons to fight against the government.

Anime fans who have watched Code Geass will find certain ressemblance to Guilty Crown, one of which revolves the main protagonist granted 'The Power of the Kings'.
The music used in the Guilty Crown anime is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano (a japanese composer and arranger who scores for various anime series such as the latest, Ao no Exorcist). Both the opening and ending themes of Guilty Crown are written by Supercell band.

All and all, Guilty Crown is a great anime. If you have the taste, who I believe every anime lover should have, you can feel the difference in the means of just its first 10minutes in EP1. I hope those who read it may find this review helpful and for those who have not watch Guilty Crown. I commend you to watch it!

Enjoy!,
