Sorry to rain on the parade but Guilty crown was an abomination compared to Code Geass and that saying alot. Guilty Crown started off like a diamond shaped like poop and then as you went on you realized it was just a big pieced of poop.

Code Geass started off like Diamond and then it got poop stain and on as the series went on but in the end you can atleast still see some spot that wasnt entirely covered in poop.

GC and CG are similar in that their first half was alot better than the 2nd half, and both 2nd halfs were complete trainwrecks. But music/art/animation was better in GC.

You and me both.

Anyway, any tips for an anime that is a little like Fate Zero?

As in how "dark" or "serious" it is, I guess. Don't know if those are the best choices of words, but... I guess I like when the protagonist is more like Kiritsugu than like Shirou, so to speak...

Basically saying that Guilty Crown started off okay but ended like a piece of crap and basically is crap.

On the other hand, we have Code Geass who started off OMFG amazing eye blowing good and then it became like crap near the end but at the end of it all it still okay if you added all up.

Long story short, Guilty crown never had that, "OMFG this is going to be the best thing ever." feel to it.

I thought Guilty Crown was decent. Sure not a 11/10 anime like Code Geass but it was far from horrible and very much enjoyable to watch.

I thought it was all okuntil when there were like ~3 episodes left. Then it became outright bad, but the rest of the anime did manage to keep me entertained enough to watch all the episodes available in one go. Ignoring plotholes or stupid twists, the biggest flaws were a really bad finale/ending and underdeveloped characters.

Steins;Gate and Madoka both get relatively dark/serious

This ep was really good. And I know I always say that, but this time, this ep was REALLY good.

-The Altair guy's mecha was so badass, I loved the design and concept of it. Soo fcking leet.
-Fudo leaving Daeva just shows how lost and clueless the rest of them are.
-The fact that Altair finally decides to be diplomatic about taking a rare igura just shows how desperate they are. I wonder why it wasnt a real solution to try and do this in the first place, rather than spark a intergalactic war.
-But the real jaw dropper here was when Mix went in Zessica's place. My jaw literally dropped. Way to keep me on the edge of my seat. *Thumbs up

And the MUSIC. Cant forget about the MUSIC. SOOO FUCKING GOOD.

If you do choose to watch Ga Rei Zero, don't be thrown off by the first episode, trust me, it was really the first series to ever make me stop watching and just go "What the fuck was that..?".

Also Angel Beats, the closer I get to finishing the series the more I don't want to in fear of randomly breaking down into tears. It was so funny in the first few episodes, now it's just sad...

And Gundam Age:

Ga Rei Zero had a pretty lolworthy first episode. Made me think twice about everything, but it was definitely a cool first ep.

I'm not saying it wasn't good, I was just so confused within the span of 5 minutes that I was thrown off, after that I was like "Why don't they have an adaptation by now?"

Let me prefix this with the fact that I'm not a huge anime guy, I just watch the main ones (Champloo, Trigun, Bebop etc.)

So after consulting the reccomendation image I watched Darker Than Black, started off thinking it was awful but it got pretty good towards the end.

I've finished the first series and I notice there seems to be a season 1.5 and 2. Is it worth watching either of these? I kind of feel like I've experienced the arc of the story and don't really know where it can go that's any good. Just Hei being chased for 23 episodes doesn't seem very exciting.

Should I bother with it or just move on to something else?


Move on to something else.

S2 is terrible, as is the OVA.



Sent, why the fuck did you start reading hoshizora. That's like the exact opposite of anything you'd ever like.

It's like if you read Da Capo.

But! But! Those blonde chicks! Really hot!

Oh yeah, don't tell me what I like and don't like, because I'm pretty sure I know what I like.
