Guilty Crown
Having just finished off watching and reviewing the first half of Guilty Crown, it is rather fun to go back to the clips that FUNimation comes up with for the anime series and see them out of context and realize just how much they do say when tied together with everything else. The latest clip to debut brings in the first encounter of merit between Gai and Shu which lets us see a side of Shu that’s important as well as the more violent side of Gai that does fit in the series under the surface throughout.
Plot concept: Shu’s entire world was shattered after a meteorite crashed into Japan, unleashing the lethal Apocalypse Virus. The chaos and anarchy born of the outbreak cost Shu his family and reduced him to a timid, fearful shell of the boy he’d once been. His life took another unexpected turn after a chance encounter with the stunning pop star, Inori. This mysterious beauty introduced Shu to the King’s Right Hand: a genetic mutation that allows him to reach into hearts of mortals and turn them into weapons.
Shu finds himself caught in the crossfire between those who desperately seek his newfound strength. On one side lurks a clandestine government agency, and on the other, Inori and the spirited band of rebels known as Funeral Parlor. The choice is Shu’s to make – and the world is his to change.
