Ok so guilty crown was a fun watch. Lets get into it!

Animation- 8.5/10

The first thing that I found impressive about guilty crown was the sick animation. For it's time it was amazing and a visual treat.

Music- 7/10

The music was also good and praised by many but in my opinion it was just “good”.

... Story and plot 6.5/10

Without spoiling much i would say that the overall story of guilty crown was disappointing. It had a lot of potential but in the end plot holes everywhere.
Mana's powers, the whole apocalypse viruse logic, shu's sudden character development - it all kinda happens cause the writers wanted it to. They don't explain it in a way that truly makes sense. And the ending feels like everything happened for nothing,just for the vibes.

Characters- 6.5/10

They were fine. I really liked some of the side characters but I found the main characters to be pretty average. Gai really wanted to be lelouch so bad imo.
Dude had the drip, charisma and sacrifices for the greater goods but his execution was all over the place.

Overall enjoyment- 7/10 (good).

It was entertaining and a fun watch. Sometimes emotional and the fights with the music was a treat.

Overview-

Guilty crown is something that delivers on the hype, emotions and visuals but when you step back, the story kinda collapses under its own weight. It is still entertaining and fun. Just go with the flow and don't look for logical explanations and you'll mostly likely enjoy it.

Solo leveling is a good power fantasy show that solely focuses on the MC's growth rather than building a harem. I really liked the manhwa for it's art though its story is nothing special and lacks in many aspects. Despite being simple and generic, it's the best I've come across in terms of hype and cool moments with detailed art and an overall satisfying story.

It has quite a good anime adaptation with amazing ost. Good pacing. Anime has been giving more screentime to the side cast in comparison even though they don't feel that involved in the story yet. It's a buildup for the future ... and people will start caring about em more once the actual story begins. Overall a pretty decent adaptation.

It's only a good adaptation cause the anime fails to completely capture the charm of the manhwa, which feels way more impactful and cool than the anime. (Probably due its art style and details). Sometimes it feels rushed especially episode 9 where mr. Kim died. It was an important moment where we got to see the psychological state of our MC.

But the animation in ep 11 and 12 were really good. The visuals are also leveling up with jin woo.

Tbh, i would give the anime a 7.5-8/10.

Overall i would recommend it for a fun watch. Action sequences are really good Ost is amazing. Visuals are cool. Jin woo's character progression is fun to watch. I think it's really fun and entertaining. And i believe not everything needs to have a deep story!

With 12 episodes episodes it's prologue has ended and the story will finnally progress from the nxt season. (It was probably the weakest arc of solo leveling)

But I'm giving it a 10 here cause it's getting review bombed by the haters....
