Guilty Crown Episode 8

You even put a service ep in Guilty Crown. Shame.

Shu is off on a trip and his clingy (who hangs around in her *cough* service *cough* underwear) mom is loathe to let him go, but joking aside reminds him to "visit his father" while in Oshima.
Oh, that's his mom.
Visiting fathers aside, that means this is the BEACH EPISODE! cliche, right? AND we get a hot tub scene. Service all OVER the place.
What are friends for, huh?
Apparently Shu's dad had been the leading research on the Apocalypse Virus before everything went to hell. He died and Shu doesn't really know much about him.
I had a hard time figuring out why Ayase was embarrassed given that she was adequately
dressed. WHY WAS THAT THE CASE? WHO FAILED HERE? 
But the trip is all a ruse and the real reason everyone is there is for Shu to use his classmate's Void to infiltrate a GHQ facility.

We also get more teen angst. Which i like about as much as i enjoy throwing up on myself.
"I need a favor..."
Decent ep. Everything has been better since uber-whiney Shu was retired for the new more compliant version. And we get a little more intrigue in a fan-service filled ep.
<3 Ayase!

Rating: B+
