Guilty Crown (ギルティクラウン, Giruti Kuraun) is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Production I.G which will air on Fuji TV's noitaminA program block in October 2011.[1] The story of Guilty Crown is set in 2039 and revolves around Shū, a boy who has acquired an ability called the "power of kings" that allows him to draw out weapons from another person. He joins a resistance group named "Undertaker" which aims to restore Japan's independence from an international organization known as the GHQ.

A manga adaptation will begin serialization in the November 2011 issue of Gangan Comics' Monthly Shōnen Gangan. A spin-off visual novel tentatively named Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas is being developed by Nitroplus.

Plot

Guilty Crown's setting begins in 2029 when an unidentified "Apocalypse Virus" spreads and plunges Japan into a state of emergency in an chaos known as the "Lost Christmas".[2] An international organization known as the GHQ intervenes with martial law and restores order to Japan at the cost of its independence.[2]

Ten years later in 2039, Shū Ōma, a 17-year-old high school student who keeps to himself in school, meets Inori Yuzuriha, the lead singer for Egoist, while visiting one of his favourite places on his way home from school. Shū is a big fan of Inori, a singer who has taken the Internet world by storm. However, he also discovers the other side of her, which is that she is a member of "Undertaker", a resistance group that aims to liberate Japan from the GHQ. Shū starts taking a part in the actions of "Undertaker" and the "king's mark" appears on his right hand. This "mark" bestows on him the power to draw out a weapon from another person.[2]

Characters

Shū Ōma (桜満 集, Ōma Shū, voiced by: Yūki Kaji) is the 17-year old protagonist of Guilty Crown. He is the second year of high school and is a member of the modern image and video research club. Due to a chance encounter, his right arm gains the "power of kings". Gai Tsutsugami (恙神 涯, Tsutsugami Gai, voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura) is the young 17-year old leader of the "Undertaker" resistance group. He hopes to push the revolution to success with the help of the "power of kings". Inori Yuzuriha (楪いのり, Yuzuriha Inori, voiced by: Ai Kayano), the main heroine of Guilty Crown, is a 16-year old vocalist of the group Egoist. She is also a member of the "Undertaker" resistance group. Ayase Shinomiya (篠宮綾瀬, Shinomiya Ayase, voiced by: Kana Hanazawa) is a member of "Undertaker" also and is an operator of the humanoid robot Endrave. She is normally in a wheelchair. Tsugumi (ツグミ, voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu) is the 14-year old member of "Undertaker" in charge of information warfare. Fyu-Neru (ふゅーねる) is a robot that follows Inori around. It expresses a lot of emotions even though it is mechanical. Fyu-Neru is capable of shooting out strings very much like a Tachikoma.[3]

Production

Guilty Crown is being directed by Tetsuro Araki with the series' script's supervision being handled by Hiroyuki Yoshino[4] and assisted by Ichirō Ōkouchi. Jin Hanegaya from Nitroplus will also be assisting with the screenplay.[5][6] The mechanical designs will be done by Atsushi Takeuchi and prop designs handled by Yō Moriyama. The original character designs are being drawn by Redjuice[4] while Hiromi Katō are providing the character designs for the anime. Yusuke Takeda will be the anime's art director. The animation production is being done by Production I.G's Division 6.

When asked what circumstances lead to Redjuice's involvement, Redjuice responded that the production staff's illustrators and animators felt that his concept art exhibited a sense of compatibility with final product.[3] While Ryo of Supercell was providing the insert songs for the show, Redjuice himself was not participating in a project as a member of Supercell.[3] Besides liking Inori, the main heroine of Guilty Crown, Redjuice stated that he has done many drawings of Tsugumi.[3] The staff had no qualms with about the cat-like ears of Tsugumi so Redjuice feels that he has slipped his personal tastes into the series.[3] Redjuice also likes Kanon although she was not originally written into the scenario but since she was included in one of the key visual drawings, Kanon got added.[3] As Redjuice has not worked with 3D CG much, he was able to learn a lot from the staff at Production I.G.[3]

New York Anime Festival will screen the first two episodes of Guilty Crown on October 15, 2011.[7] The screening of the second episode will be a world premiere as the episode will not air in Japan until October 20, 2011.[7]

Music

The music used in the Guilty Crown anime is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.[8] Both the opening and ending themes of Guilty Crown are written by Supercell.[1] The opening theme is entitled "My Dearest" and will be performed by Koeda.[9][10][11] The ending theme is entitled "Departures: Anata ni Okuru Ai no Uta" (Departures ~あなたにおくるアイの歌~)[1] and will be performed by Egoist, which is actually a fictional band from the series.[1][12] A new 17-year old artist named Chelly will be providing the vocals.[1][12] Chelly was picked by Ryo of Supercell after an audition of 2000 candidates.[1][12] Chelly will also be singing the insert song of Guilty Crown.[13][14]

Media

A manga serialization will be published by Square Enix's Gangan Comics label in their Monthly Shōnen Gangan.[15] The serialization will begin in the November 2011 issue of Monthly Shōnen Gangan.[16]

An Internet radio show named Guilty Crown Radio Council to promote Guilty Crown will begin airing every other Friday starting on October 7, 2011.[17] The show will be hosted by Yūki Kaji, the voice actor of Shū Ōma, and Ai Kayano, the voice actress of Inori Yuzuriha.[17]

Nitroplus is developing a spin-off visual novel tentatively named Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas (ギルティクラウン ロストクリスマス, Giruti Kuraun Rosuto Kurisumasu).[6] The visual novel was previously known as Lost X.[6] The scenario writer for this game will be Jin Hanegaya, who also penned Demonbane.[18]
