Not really sure what everyone sees as bad about this anime. I've been semi-marathoning it and I very rarely do that.

That Ayase chick always seems to be jealous of Shu and Inori. I could understand if they were best friends and she didn't trust Shu but she doesn't seem that cool with her, yet she likes Gai who's so super awesome to all those around him.

Another great episode, and a beach episode as well, quite a nice story development I must say as I wonder who that man in white priest clothes was. Lets find out next!

Am I the only one who is bothered by this?:
Haruka laid back on the chair with one foot under her and the other barely touching the floor.It's impossible for her to keep her balance like that.I don't care it looks better or anything like that.

You can see clearly "the plot" in the image from the end of the episode.

Haruka acts more like a big sister than a mother.

I am getting Haruka to be more of a Masane/Melony from Witchblade. Much more melony than the actual character...

Overall this did have some interesting parts in it, that helped with the plot.

So I meant to read every comment, but I gave up after about ten pages of pointless hate between GC-critics and GC-lovers =_= Sorry if I end up repeating virtually every point that has come up so far...

1) This episode was nearly pointless with only around two highlights to it: The guy who stole the crystal before Gai could and left the message "I got the object before you" and poor Daryl's no-show b-day party. I felt so bad for him, even if he's a psychopath. But hearing his father's opinion about him makes me understand why Daryl would be so messed up. And that random secretary that people are looking forward to? Hah. We do not need any more characters when the MCs are lacking big time.
2) Soundtrack and Artwork are still as lovely as ever. Too bad this cast can't get it together. You'd think they could capture our attention with their top-notch skills that garnered tons of hype.
3) Potentially good characters: Gai (should have been the MC), Ayase and Tsugumi, Haruka (disregarding all the milf moments, her backstory is intriguing), Daryl (why? I'm the type who is in love with Izaya from Durarara!!), and the various villains that are being discarded constantly and changed like outfits.... And pretty much everyone else can be wiped out of the story or get far less screen time.
4) No, Shuu is an indecisive wimp, period. Don't try to defend him - it makes you sound unintelligent. I would have more fun watching Gai manipulate a rebellious brat when Gai could not become overpowered himself than watch said-brat act like a hero. Voids are a joke, with progressively stupid powers that are worse than Shugo Chara season 2 naming tendencies. Inori is a cliché that wasn't pulled off correctly. The beautiful character designs are wasted on members of a half-baked harem.
5) All that being said, I'm enjoying myself despite all the obvious flaws. There are tiny redeeming factors thinly spread out that I look forward to seeing. I'll be relieved when this ends with a feeling of satisfaction due to the accomplishment of trudging through yet another anime. There's a lot worse things out there within the anime world, so I think less negatively about this particular one. Helps me not turn into a butt-hurt child who's been taking anime too seriously. My standpoint by 8 episodes? Neutral, and simply killing time with supercell and Daryl.

I'm glad I came in not expecting much. I will continue enjoying the eye-candy (although the fan service is simply desperation that I, as a female, am not interested in) and will not give two-cents for the plot. It's a shame that any good leads are all left as loose-ends that are poorly foreshadowed and underdeveloped. I don't believe that all my pre-imagined awesomeness of the show will ever come to fruitition. Oh well, I survived when Mockingjay happened. I'll live.

This anime is a flop. Thank god Guilty Crown is only 22 episodes long. Looking forward to next episode.

1) Poor Daryl ... He didn't have happy b-day at all .. I felt sorry for him :D
2) I was really surpised by that part when "dead" Keido appeared so I was a bit confused :D
3) That ending... I heard it for the first time because I always go on with watching... Wow.. I liked the start of that song and lyrics :)
4) I'm looking forward to next episodes :D ^^

This is gold.

Shuu is annoying me as always but oh well. Why interrupt when someone is confessing, that's just minus 1000 points esp. when you agreed to help yourself.

Yay, obligatory beach episode.

There's always that energetic guy that never shuts up about going to the beach. And another girl that wants to touch someone's breasts.

Did Shu feel bad about using Inori, but not his friend?

Really interesting episode.

I still don't get what's wrong with his mother. Even if she isn't his real mother then why is she acting so weird sometimes?

CAN INORI PLEASE SHOW HER TRUE FEELINGS ALREADY?!! IM SO CONFUSED! WHO DOES SHE LIKE?!

Also great fan service this episode.

Shu is a "pussy" shy character, like other says, I can live with that, what bothers me those characters overreacting in such ways they embarassing themselves and of course everybody is around to see that and do situation even more awkward. I don't like it, I hate to watch it, I don't understand why those "cliches" are there even. Is there sort of japanese relieve comedy?

Also half of rebels wear their uniform outside on public? Wtf? Why other half try to conceal themselves then? Wtf?

And last looks like father Ouma is still alive. After "10 years of dead". How that grunt on guard recognize him then?

That's about what I don't like, still like anime overall. Keep watching.

I got respect for Souta. How he asked Shu first. How he made a heartfelt video for Inori. And how he handled Shu's freakout like a boss.

Mad respect.

Shu has some get-your-shit-together to do though.

Shu keeping the same cover story about Inori having a "violent elder brother" as his excuse for them living together.

Gai knows about Shu's alleged father Kurosu and Shu claims his father was also his mother's professor...

I hypothesize Kurosu started the void genom research (producing Shu and Inori as test tube babies) and Haruka was just continuing her professor's work, raising Shu afterwards for the day he would activate his power via Inori.

I don't think Kurosu faked his own death, the man standing at the grave was probably a former colleague, stealing his ID to get into the building.

While Shu wasn't keen on using Inori as bait to get Souta's void, Gai knows Shu has feelings for Inori, and any sense of rivalry with Souta will drive him to do it, and thus Shu did.

C'mon Shu, you got Hare and Ayase pining for you right there. Let Souta pursue Inori.

This episode, at least for me, was a bit comical. I'm talking about a part where Iuri and Shu friend were sitting on the couch. He tries to impress her, but she reacts like Lacia from the first episode of Beatless "What are you doing? ". I know you have to do your job, but no emotions at all.

Probably the best episode yet, and it was, of course, the episode 8 obligatory beach episode.

The void power this time didn't feel as much like a deus ex machina, though, they've been getting a lot better about that
