Guilty Crown Episode 10


Oh Shu, i am so disappoint.
coward hangout.
What to say about this episode? I have finally decided that i don't really like this show. I don't like anti-heros. I don't like wanton slaughter of innocents. I don't like the tired old "let's advance humanity through our destructive science" tropes.
Hare, you are WAY too good for him.
Shu is so painful to watch in this episode. Honestly, he has been painful to watch throughout the show. I cannot believe that a character that selfish, that stupid, and that cowardly could survive any of the missions they have been on. For me that is a MASSIVE hole in the narrative.
This almost made the show better.
With this ep, we see the begining of the final arc of the story. The virus is re-released, some weirdness is happening with Inori, the *real* enemies have emerged, and Shu is being a massive coward. I don't think i am looking forward to the resolution.
Please, Gai, say no. No, you don't Inori.
My predictions on how this will wrap up? Shu will miraculously overcome his unbelievable cowardice to be part of saving the day. Gai and a whole lot of other LIKABLE characters will get triaged for effect (i expect that at least one out of Hare, Tsugumi, and Ayase won't make it to the end). We will have massive population death. There will be some asanine/trite moralizing at the end that will ultimately be fulfilling. Basically, it is going to have an even more suck ending than No. 6 did.
emotional black hole.
