GUILTY CROWN
Guilty Crown is a anime from the genre of action, romance and science fantasy. The story revolves around Shu Ouma, a high school boy who inadvertently obtains an ability called "The Power of the Kings" that enables him to draw out items called "Voids" from other people. He is then thrown into the conflict between a resistance group called Funeral Parlor which aims to restore Japan's independence from a quasi-governmental organization known as the GHQ. In the process, Shu has to deal with the burden his ability puts on his shoulders and the horrific mystery of his past.
Prior to the events of the main story, on December 24, 2029 a biological hazard known as the Apocalypse Virus plunges Japan into a state of chaos. This later became known as the Lost Christmas incident. Unable to contain the threat, Japan sought international help and the United Nations sent an organization known as the GHQ to their aid. The GHQ successfully contained the outbreak and restores a level of order at the cost of Japan's independence. Ten years later, a resistance organization known as Funeral Parlor wages a campaign against the GHQ in order to liberate Japan once more.
One of the attraction of this anime is the main protagonist's ability that allows his right hand to extract Voids, weapons of people's psyche given physical form. The 'Voids' are designed beautifully and each void has a ability corresponding to the personality of the person. Besides the void, the drama involved in the episodes are spectacular. There are also some surprising twist towards the end of the series that left me in awe. One more aspect of the anime that makes it cooler are the soundtracks that fits perfectly to the scenes.
Here's a trailer of the anime. Enjoy~
