The production value was nice, and seeing /a reaction to that show was fun.
I had fun with it, but it's not exactly the kind of anime i will recommend to everyone.

It's called Guilty Crown because everybody who was involved in that show is guilty of creating it.

Twin Star Exorcist 3
Still the biggest surprise of the season for me really didn't have much expectations for it. The only real complaint I have is Benio's filler pet is the worst case of obviously anime filler to sell toys I've seen in a long time. He's inserted into scenes about as gracefully as a wet fart at a ballet recital. Frequently it seems like the anime team forgets about him and is forced to reinsert him into shots via corporate mandate since he says the same thing over and over and adds nothing.

I generally rotate to different genre once I watch one or a few of similar genre. My current queue has Legend of Galactic Heroes and/or Samurai Flamenco after both seasons of im@s CG. I'm open to improvisation but it depends on how much I like im@s.
You didn't miss much. Took one aspect of the disappearance movie and flogged it to absolute death. All the characters are just diluted versions of themselves doing...nothing really.

So basically at this point the Alliance and Empire exemplify the worst aspects of each style of government. On one side a democratic society is fucked up to the point of violence and internal strife among corrupt capitalists, and on the other side an autocratic monarchy is being torn apart by a corrupt aristocracy. In the middle you've got two generals who are really just trying to end the war with as little bloodshed as possible.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ep. 1-2
OK, That was some extremely eccentric stuff, but very entertaining and funny. I actually like how they use his personal narrative to move the story, rather then general conversation as well. Poor Yuki has already been completely traumatized by everything, highlighted with her comment to Kyon: "If I am ruined for marriage, would you take me?" Some really funny stuff in here!

I figured that was the case.

Yup I love the central conceit of the show, really cool reveal (I think it's ep 3 in broadcast order)
I actually watched in broadcast order, yeah it's not the smoothest ride but it means the reveals are kept intact and it's kind of fun to re-evaluate earlier eps in light of what you learn later. I haven't watched all of S2 though, the Endless Eight arc kind of burned me out and the second arc dealing with the
making of the awesomely crap home video sentai show made for the festival
Yes and the movie!
The second arc is IIRC the Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya which is cool.
(for the movie at the very least, I keep stressing this)

OK that settles it, need to source that movie also though does anyone know of a streaming service that has it?
Truth, I cannot get past those awful suits
Yup this show has some quality cliffhangers so far

Whatever happened to those Gundam Build Fighters and TRY OVA that were announced a year or so ago? Is this going to be another Unicorn/Akito situation? Sunrise plz.

I have never seen Guilty Crown. I have also never seen anyone say anything good about Guilty Crown.
Don't listen to them and just watch it.

Maybe the next one I'll watch is Guilty Crown, I like to understand why people hate things.

I think I might do this because as long as there is no loli or other anime bull$hit, I might just like it, lol. If not, I can just grovel about it and say they were right and cry my sorrows away.....
It's not a drpressing story, is it? That's basically what's stopping me from finishing A Lull in the Sea right now...

I have no idea what the anime is about, the only thing I've heard is that it is a poor man's Code Geass.
I did the same with Aldnoah, only knew that it had mechs and space battles.
Well it doesn't have exactly what I'd call a happy ending..

You mean that mecha anime?
Remember when production commitees thought that just idols being idols wouldn't be enough? Oh, how wrong they were!

Guilty Crown is an ugly little show wrapped in a nice package. It's well animated, got decent character and mecha designs, a good OST, and some reasonably entertaining episodes.
But it's still just a chore to watch, and goddamn is its finale just a burning dumpster fire.

It's written by Hiroyuki Yoshino. The worst writer ever. The story and characters are fucking garbage. MC is constantly being shitted on and whines.
People who give high score on this is probably the same people who like to bend over for nice animations and music by Sawano.
The only thing good came out it is supercell's OP and ED.
Never look at a score of any anime because they are never a good indication. Just watch and judge yourself, don't depend on scores.

This. There are anime I really like that are below 7 on MAL *cough* Majin Bone, Kagewani *cough*. Scores don't really mean anything, except maybe popularity.
...So just watch Guilty Crown and decide for youself

To this day I have no idea why I watched and finished Guilty Crown. Don't remember any of it either.

Love Live s2 06
For the "lets reinvent ourselves and then at the end find out we are fine as is all along" episode it was pretty enjoyable. the key here is that A-RISE is just better anyway.
Coulda gone for an entire episode of people swapping personalities

I never seen a MC who lost so much.
His friend who like him died.
His lover died.
His childhood friend died.
His schoolmates turned on him.
Lost an arm.
Lost his eyesight

Hiroyuki Yoshino is a twisted vicious hack. How do some people even like this enough to give a high score.

I really like this show's fluffy approach to science fiction. It doesn't fit within the traditional hard/soft dichotomy, because it's interested in real scientific concepts from astronomy and physics, but it treats them in a fantastical manner in order to tell a warm character story.

Bungo Stray Dogs Episode 3
I so want to trade places with her.
Light Show is the best skill in the whole anime and it deserves more time

Bungou Stray Dogs - 03
Huh, that got a bit darker and graphic than I imagined this show would be. I liked how a seemingly trivial event connected with the ending.
I would've liked to see more visual cues though. I went back and checked and was disappointed that an important action wasn't shown, even though it could've been done subtle, like JoJo with the glove as a recent example.

I really did enjoy Guilty Crown. I honestly think it gets crapped on too much.

Time to stop watching anime then ;p
You are better off watching Kiniro Mosaic over Kancolle. Kancolle is unfocused and nearly impossible to bring to anime form. For crying out loud, even High School Fleet currently is much better at naval operations than Kancolle.
Besides, Karen desu~ is so much more amusing than Kongou desu~

lol, anime and games are on the bottom of the list of why that's happening.
