. At the risk of alienating a lot of my readership, it’s a show I really love and as a result over the next week or so you’ll probably get two or three more
Episode 10 of the show sees the first arc of the story begin to head towards it’s climax. After the events with Jun and Yahiro in the previous episode, Shu is having hallucinations about people getting infected with the apocalypse virus which leads Funeral Parlour’s mission to break a convey to fail.
This sets of the chain of events that cause all the problems and allows for the fantastic resolution throughout the rest of the episode. After Shu refuses to be part of Funeral Parlour any more, he returns to his house to find Inori leaving. For the first time we’re given an insight into end game of the show: as Inori prepares to leave she offers Shu a new song, but in another hallucination he sees another girl covered in the Apocalypse Virus in Inori’s place, causing him to lash out at her, destroying the song disk. Its just one of the many examples of the writers dropping small hooks to keep the viewer involved, and let me say it completely worked for me.

Upon arriving back at Funeral Parlour’s base, Inori asks Gai if she might love Shu- odd thing to ask, isn’t it? At this stage it doesn’t make all that much sense and some kind of explanation to what can only be described as social awkwardness would have been much appreciated somewhere around here.
At the same time, Shu is doing his best to get over Inori by trying to force himself on Hare. Hare’s not stupid though and catches onto the game before Shu gets anywhere, with the depreciating speech against Shu’s altered character to boot. If you were looking to defend these two events though, you might say that actually Shu and Inori’s mutual lack of social awareness shows the growing link between them. Cute, right?
The second part of the episode sees our protagonists split. Gai, Inori and the rest of Funeral Parlour go to the airport to stop the creation stone leaving the country while Shu returns to school to, essentially, mope about his life. Very quickly Funeral Parlour’s situation becomes difficult as a wave of the apocalypse virus is sent out, crippling Gai and breaking the chain of command. As events unfold, Inori tells Gai that if the ‘song’ doesn’t stop ‘she’ will wake up. Still we don’t know who this girl is and why she has been appearing to Shu, but it is becoming clearer and clearer that she is going to be integral to the later story.
Guilty Crown 10
It’s one of the most captivating episodes of anime I’ve ever watched and I struggle to see how you could watch this episode without watching the next straight after. I’d argue that one of the biggest draws of Loud, messy, and pretty – that about sums up the finale of the most maligned NoitaminA series ever. What, you were expecting anything else?
A good deli will always have something called mish-mosh soup. Basically the idea is that you take everything that goes into the other chicken soups on the menu – noodles, matzo balls, rice, kreplach, whatever – throw it all in, and there’s your mish-mosh soup.
Has been kind of a mish-mosh soup from the very beginning, so it was certainly no surprise that this was the metaphor that kept playing in my mind as I was watching the finale. In short, there was some good stuff in there, but what a mess.
Guilty Crown Is Inori Dead Or Alive
You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t have a whole lot to say, because as much as any two-cour anime I’ve watched in a while, this one leaves me feeling almost nothing. I’ve mentioned it many times, but the character arcs are so forced and artificial that I was never really anything other than curious to see how it was all going to come out. Truth be told, there was no character death or survival that was going to have a significant emotional impact on me, so in that sense the finale never really had a chance. I can tell you that I thought – as usual – the show looked great. There were some indelible visual moments that would have been powerful if in the context of a good story. There was some lovely background art, and some nice use of the original ED as an insert song. But beyond that, not much made an impression.
Why? The usual suspects, really. I’d reached this point with no buy-in, so strikes one and two. As usual, the plot of the finale was a mess – a little of everything thrown in, and it only intermittently made sense. I think scenes like Mana ballet dancing to operatic Latin as the fourth apocalypse rains down on the world are supposed to be a sort of poetry, but for all the visual flash they tend to come off as unintentionally funny and sort of absurd. As for the ending itself, maybe it’s my lack of deep concern but I’d be hard-pressed to tell you exactly what happened, and why. I can’t help but think of
, another sprawling sci-fi epic whose narrative reach often exceeded its grasp, as a comparison. While much of the final arc of that series didn’t make sense (though not quite to the degree here) it still had a sort of emotional power to it, because the characters had earned their emotional stripes. Their arcs were cohesive and involving, and I cared what happened to them. That, sadly, was not the case here.

So in the end Shu is alive, blind and hobbled, and Inori is gone. I suppose we can assume that it’s thanks to her that he’s alive at all, though I couldn’t tell you exactly how it happened. Gai apparently did everything to try and save Mana , though whether he was successful or not I can’t really say. I also have no idea how Inori managed to stop fourth apocalypse and reclaim her body in the first place, or why Keido infected himself, or why Daryl was allowed to survive after having never redeemed himself as I expected for several episodes. It all just feels like an avalanche of whatever, as if the finale was improvised just like the rest of the series. It’s too bad, but really, were you expecting anything else? I know I wasn’t so at least I can say I wasn’t disappointed.Since I don’t want to ruin too much, let’s just jump right into the episode summary shall we? The episode picks up a few days after Shu is elected to be the new Student Council president, though it appears that he hasn’t implemented the Void ranking system Yahiro proposed. Though Yahiro is opposing his decision not to implement it, Shu feels good with this decision and all of the students work equally to put up a resistance barrier between themselves and the military, which is steadily making its way towards the school. We see Hare repairing some equipment with her Void and several girls compliment her on her Void’s powers and lament the fact that their Voids aren’t as powerful as Hare’s. Shu appears and informs them that it’s not necessarily how powerful their Void is, but how they use it. This seems to cheer the girls up and Hare appears to be proud of Shu’s decision not to discriminate people based on their Void’s powers. We then find out through a minor flashback that they did hold an examination of everyone’s Void so that they knew who had what abilities, but Shu is adamant that they not implement the ranking system. Though he’s proud of himself for not caving to Yahiro’s pressures, he’s noticed that a few things aren’t going as well as they should. With everyone helping to build the resistance, they’ve run into trouble with students trying to get more food from the kitchen because they’re working so hard. We see an example of this with the same troublemakers approaching Tsugumi and coolly telling her that they deserve to have more food than the others, but they quickly back off when Tsumugi bares her (figurative) fangs at them. Meanwhile, we see Souta in the back of the kitchen looking depressed as he uses his Void to simply open cans of sausages.
Shu is worried that they haven’t been able to complete even half of their plans to put up the barricade or secure medicine and ammo, but Yahiro tells him that this is why he wanted Shu to use the ranking system in the first place. Yahiro justifies the idea by saying that people will work twice as hard when there’s a clear hierarchy, but this doesn’t seem to sit well with Shu since he doesn’t want to discriminate against people just because of their Voids. Later that evening, after all of the other students have returned to their posts and/or bed, Shu, Tsugumi, Hare, Ayase
