"Sometimes a long running series will slowly develop its characters and build up the world and treat viewers to a major pay off in the second half. Guilty Crown: Part 1, our review of which can be found here, managed to overcome a few of the numerous clichés that populated its first eleven episodes and gave viewers a gorgeously animated series accompanied by an amazing soundtrack. However will Guilty Crown: Part 2 manage to take advantage of everything built up over its first half or throw it all away and go a different route?"
