Guilty Crown episode 11: Enter the WTF

Err….so yeah. XD Been busy. Been busy shopping, getting yelled at work, and being stressed out. But it’s okay folks. I just need to look to the sky and stop having low self esteem. I thought the issue was this driver was trying to run over small children and forgetting parts to orders. Silly me. If I just looked up to the sky and had better self esteem things would be better.

Does that make any sense to anyone else? No I didn’t think so. I work with insane people. I am just happy I don’t have to go to work on Christmas Eve. Don’t have to deal with any of that stress. Must have a happy face. Just hope the other stresses in my life simmer down. Simmer down folks.

One day the light of love shining in your eyes will transcend time and will certainly shatter!!!!!!!!!!!! Until Kyubey eats your soul!

But since it is not Christmas yet…let’s blog some anime. While watching The Grinch! XD Episode 11 of the special anime Guilty Crown is up now. Spoilers for things not making any sense at all WEEEE!

Yes exactly this...

Episode Summary: When we last saw our heroes Inori was about to be turned into…someone else while Tokyo Tower was sending out the Sparkle Crystal Virus. Well now Inori is okay and is helping Gai who is seriously not okay. If things weren’t bad enough Daryl loses his mind and kills his dad, his ho, and a bunch of other people because someone missed his birthday! Keido then announces that Funeral Parlor is behind the virus being rereleased and killing much of GHQ. He as the commander of Antibodies takes over everything concerning the military. He attempts to kidnap Haruka but Dan makes a sacrifice to save her. Shu hears the announcement that Funeral Parlor is at fault and he knows he must rescue them. Despite the fact that the school is under watch Shu breaks in and manages to get all the video club together as well as Arisa. Yahiro shows up as well because….well we don’t really know why. Shu has to think long and hard what to do as he needs their Voids to perform his rescue mission. In the end he uses Hare as an example and explains what Voids are. Despite the fact that Funeral Parlor being branded as terrorist everyone agrees to help Shu even Yahiro.

Err.....that too....

The word Mana is said by several characters but it is not explained. Inori almost takes out Shu’s momma trying to protect Gai. Instead of asking what the heck is going on Haruka helps Gai and Inori out. She takes them…somewhere and does something so when Inori starts singing everyone hears her. Oh and Voids randomly come out of Inori in the meantime. Her song starts to heal everyone who hears them and everyone goes YAY! This sorta messes with Keido’s plans as he was trying to do…something. Something involving MANA obviously. A gate to another world or something. In the meantime Shu and company are being driven around by the little robot dude. He uses everyone’s Voids to get past the guards, beat Daryl, and make it to Inori..all while crashing the car. He is all happy when he gets to Inori but HAHA. Someone comes out of a rip in space (that random blond kid from last episode) and takes out Inori’s Void. He is like sucks to be you Shu and runs off with her. But not before attacking Shu. Gai managed to stand in front of the attack and is now coughing up blood in Shu’s arms. OH and the crystal restarted itself and is now sucking up everything to make a castle in the sky? HAHA The End!

I….what….what?! WHAT?!

This show is insane. Insane folks.

Photobucket

Oh only Gai and I are in the plane now...even though he is OUT of the plane. I see.

First off…I am pretty dang sure that Inori was all transforming into another person last episode? Do we all remember that? Because if we viewers remember that then the writers have some explaining to do. Inori was all flopped over and saying no not this song SHE will come out. So….why didn’t that happen?

Photobucket

Err...maybe Inori should sing all the time and heal everyone? Just saying.

Of course after watching this episode Inori has everyone slightly confused. She got up and sang a special song. Which is just the closing song but you know. No word on why she didn’t “transform” into that other person so what was all that about last week? When Lost Christmas happened did Inori get merged with Gai’s special person? That the special person is now an insane person trying to take over the world? Or is it something more like the rock did some crazy things to Inori and now she is part rock person.

At this point I don’t know. At first we were dealing with the aftermath of a sparkle disease and now the gates to another dimension are being opened? That somehow this rock was able to take material from other buildings and create a new one in the sky? And we are to believe the scientist in this show were able to do all of this? No. Aliens must be involved. Crystal aliens who want to harness young girls for energy!

Photobucket

I am just adorable so believe me!!!!

I do like how Momma Haruka believed Inori and had a machine to help her sing away the crystals. Like oh I will not question what is going on and instead conveniently hook you up to this machine and save the world. Because no one can find us right?!

I also think I blinked a lot in this episode. Because I remember there being other people in the plane with Gai. Not sure where Inori was but I don’t remember her being close to Gai. In any event I didn’t see the men leaving Gai behind. Now did I see curly hair kid attack at Shu. But Gai did with his super eyes and he jumped in front of the slashy attack. Good thing Shu was practicing being a leader this episode because looks like he might be in from now on.

Photobucket

Well if it makes Shu feel important lets do it!!!!!!

I do like that Shu decided he needed to do something. I don’t like how he got blamed for everything since no one could have predicted Keido activating the crystal. Still it is admirable that he wants to save Inori, the girl who broke his heart, and Gai, the person who likes to torture and scream at Shu….Yeah it makes sense folks. And he is with Funeral Parlor for honorable purposes too! Because…they make him feel like someone. Okay Shu is just insane.

Photobucket

I think there should be a limit to how many Voids one can activate at once.

I guess I can see the other members of the video club wanting to help Shu. They seem to like Inori too despite the fact Shu just told them she was a “terrorist” but that seems understandable to me. Arisa makes a little less sense as she has not gotten a proper explanation on why he was on her grandfather’s boat nor are they close friends. Maybe we can chalk it up to her feeling the need to help her fellow students out? But Yahiro? Please. Shouldn’t he still be mourning the loss of his brother? You know the one Shu KILLED! Why did he show up? I understand he wanted to out Shu as a bad person but then he HELPED! That part was stupid.

The crazy ride to the place (the airport/secret base) was….special. But given how special this show has been so far I accept cars flying through the air. I also accept that Void bandages can fix bridges and what not. And that tiny little robot could drive the car. I accept a lot.

Photobucket

We were the super bad all along woohoo!!!!

I was wrong though. I thought GHQ was the one pulling the strings and Antibodies was going to be the enemy that was really on Funeral Parlors side the entire time. OH NO folks. Antibodies was like Eff you GHQ and the entire population of Tokyo. So Funeral Parlor was right all along. Things were bad.

Photobucket

WHERE ARE MY PRESENTS?!?!??! XO

So let us take a moment to mourn the loss of several very important people. Dan, Yan, and Yan’s mistress. And all other people who got turned into sparkles. So many people left us much too soon. So sad.

Photobucket

I knew I should have explored Tokyo more! They got separate dimensions in sky rise buildings!

What else what else. Oh yeah this show is insane. I think it will continue being insane and confusing for a long time coming. I mean….another dimension? Psht good thing this show is not like Code Geass at all. I think this show doesn’t know what the heck it is trying to do at this point. It is all….so wow. Inori has been kidnapped, Gai is dying (or dead), and the entire town looks like it is 5 seconds from being swept away in a tornado via sparkle rock power. Amazing.

Photobucket

SO EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME WHOLE I'LL NOW GIVE TO YOU!!!!!!

This episode has left me speechless. It is kinda hard to write about something when you have no idea what is going on. Yay for next week (or next episode) when things will probably be more sad and depressing.

Rest in peace Guts.

I finally watched this WTF anime today. Even though the theme of this anime is technology, which we can see from:
-remote controlled robots
-the usage of firearms
-the shape of voids which all seem mechanical
It contradicts itself by showing something that machinery would never be able to do in 10,000 years even.
-WTF with appearing out of a portal, in the mid-air of nothingness?
-WTF with controlling people's genoms with songs? Oh yeah, terrible songs might give you headaches, but genetics?
-WTF with creating a HUGE building in the air out of misc. rubbles
An alien race with technology 100,000 years ahead of human race must be involved!

Eternia- Well aliens that are technologically 10,000 years ahead of us ALWAYS lose. If we were on an even playing field well we would be in trouble. XD

But yes everything about this show is WTF. Maybe we will get answers as the singer isn't randomly singing about her father, frogs, and raindrops. Maybe answers are on the way. But the fact that our souls can turn into technology that can be controlled by songs....yeah. WTF.
