The series follows Shu Ouma, an average high school boy who accidentally stumbles into the conflict between the corrupt government organization known as the GHQ and the resistance group known by the ominous name, Funeral Parlour, who work to restore Japan’s independence. Guilty Crown first released in 2011 as two separate volumes, however recently, the series has been re-released as a complete series collection. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for the series dwindled the more I watched. Being an anime series directed by the same man behind anime greats such as Death Note and Attack on Titan, I was certain that Guilty Crown would be a series that I could get into and really enjoy. Guilty Crown follows the action-packed story of a young high school student who is dragged into a war, possessing an ability that will help him uncover the secrets of the GHQ, Funeral Parlor, and Lost Christmas.Guilty Crown has been on my radar for a very long time. Inori Yuzuriha, a key member of Funeral Parlor, runs into the weak and unsociable Shuu Ouma during a crucial operation, which results in him obtaining the “Power of Kings”-an ability which allows the wielder to draw out the manifestations of an individual’s personality, or “voids.” Now an unwilling participant in the struggle against GHQ, Shuu must learn to control his newfound power if he is to help take back Japan once and for all. Funeral Parlor, a guerilla group led by the infamous Gai Tsutsugami, act as freedom fighters, offering the only resistance to GHQ’s cruel despotism.
Ten years after the outbreak of the “Apocalypse Virus,” an event solemnly regarded as “Lost Christmas,” the once proud nation has fallen under the rule of the GHQ, an independent military force dedicated to restoring order.
