Guilty Crown

Guilty Crown is easily the most anticipated anime premiere of the season. Already licensed by FUNimation, Guilty Crown is airing on Fuji TV’s noitaminA block and is produced by Production I.G. The hype surrounding it is both a positive and negative thing, boosting the number of people tuning in but also creating high expectations. With Production I.G.’s credits and noitaminA’s growing success I foresee that Guilty Crown will not only meet those expectations, but exceed them. Guilty Crown’s first episode, “Genesis,” definitely indicates that this will be the case, despite utilizing some of the typical tropes found in anime. 


In 2029, ten years prior to the start of the series, Japan fell into a state of emergency when an unknown outbreak known as the Apocalypse Virus spread. Unable to support itself, Japan received aid from an international organization called the GHQ. Though the country stabilized and found order, the GHQ is the now in control and the people of Japan are at their mercy.
