Hello everyone,
Here we are for our weekly talk on Guilty Crown (fourth episode), an anime series of this packed Fall 2011 season that sports one of the best graphical quality of the recent years together with amiable characters and an interesting plot.
The series continues to deliver more of the same with a nice consistency in visuals and story. We get plenty of battles, cute moments and "Just as planned" moments for all our characters.
And yes, we got a really nice share of Inori moments in this episode as well, she's really starting to get more and more likable on my eyes even if her lack of personality is still somehow hurting me.
The episode continues where we left it off last episode with the GHQ members arresting our protagonist and trying to get out of him informations over the leadership of the rebels with little luck.
This is where the new "clown" character in the GHQ decide to use the "propaganda" card and start revealing gray information over the rebels all at once to make our protagonist lose faith in Gai and in the whole rebel structure.
In the midst of all this Gai start his operation to save another member of the rebels imprisoned trying to get Shuu to partecipate in his grand plan detailed till the last second like always.
This is when Inori appear breaking Gai orders just to save Shuu from harm and reunite with him. I'll be honest, in my mind I heard Inori saying either "Gai, U mad?" or "Problem, officer?" with a troll face. :P
But well, everything resolve itself with Shuu cutting his way through tens of Mechas with Inori's big sword (really overpowered that weapon) and everything is happy end.
Now the only remaining qestions are on that communication device left by the clown to our protagonist to call him to arrest/kill Gai. Will Shuu really use it? What will happen to Inori?
Oh god, I had to re-watch this scene multiple times before writing this post. Inori is so cute and emotional at the same time...I want to hug her now!
I love how the director is giving extreme focus on Inori's beauty and mannerism, every scene where she appear is a treat for my eyes!
I wonder when we'll get some new Tsugumi fanservice scene though...:P
Concluding, I'm still very happy with the progression of the series till now and I have to give kudos to director and scriptwriter for their good work.
I'm extremely waiting for the next episode to get to know how this story will continue and how they'll answer to our questions!
See you soon,
