You’re not being very subtle, Guilty Crown.

Impressions:

So we find ourselves here… a week after simultaneously introducing rocket legs and a completely impregnable 30 foot high wall. And now, for some reason, the teenagers are in charge within the quarantined zone. Think about that for a moment. There was nobody in his quarantine area except an entire school… and some terrorists. I’m also still trying to figure out what the plan with Darryl was since he’s somehow been extracted from the area. But that’s all just leftover stuff from last week that retroactively makes absolutely no sense.

Moving on to this week, well… there’s a reason I rambled aimlessly for a paragraph and it’s because this was perhaps the least eventful episode for the show to date. The only even notable thing in the entire first half was everybody realizing that Shu hadn’t taken Tsugumi’s void virginity yet, so they held her down and forced him to (gleefully) do it while she screamed and struggled. Rape metaphor? What rape metaphor? It also continued the pattern of being completely overpowered and inane by being able to create clones of people. And I was so convinced that Shu, Ayase, and Tsugumi were shot to death too. I look forward to them forgetting to use it in the near future. Although actually, given the writing thus far, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if Shu’s plan to escape was to walk up to the wall and then be confused when he discovers it’s made out of rock. They also apparently forgot that they rewrote Shu’s power because the punk collapsed when Shu used his boomerang void.

Then they all voted Shu their leader. Yeah, that’ll work out well.
