Firstly, the rewatchability of this show is prime. One of the best rewatchable shows that currently exists in anime. Why? The story is highly nuanced, detailed and the characters are enjoyable to watch as they develop. Probably bests Lord of the Flies in my opinion. The type of character development you will see in this fictional anime story showcases the darkest parts of humanity as evidently as the joy. Never does watching Guilty Crown feel downery or despairgy.

This show teaches us that under pressure people can bond together and be stronger despite the devils in their hearts. According to this anime, people change when faced with the existential threat of their deaths, but nonetheless these students found a way to stay strong and fight their way out of their fear.

Secondly, the show does move very fast, and you might miss some stuff as you're watching it. I've seen it many times as it is one of my favorite anime, but am still having a hard time understanding each character's arc. This doesn't really effect the show though, because the art style, score, and crisp sfx bring it to life regardless if you are even following the plot.

Lastly, I wouldn't recommend this show to everyone as it is quite horrifying to watch; but can definitely spark that fire to get you through whatever it is you're facing in life. This show gives pure strength to the right viewer. Highly recommend if you are into this genre.
