Episode 15 of Guilty Crown is without a doubt the strongest episode to date. To be honest it feels like I’ve been saying that a lot recently, but I suppose it’s unsurprising that it keeps improving since there’s so much it has to improve upon. Overall despite the usual, though mostly minor oddities and idiocies this is a solid episode where for once the good outweighs the bad, packing characterisation, action and drama into a well crafted and satisfying narrative.

Episode 14 of Guilty Crown is in a word…flawed. The storytelling is fine, and whilst the story itself remains as silly as last week, it is at least consistent and well directed. That alone would be enough to make this one of the best episodes yet. Unfortunately the show is once again let down by ignoring its own continuity, using plot devices of convenience and generally not making much sense.

Episodes 12 and 13 of Guilty Crown mark the shows end and new beginning respectively. As far as mid-season finales go, episode 12 was easily the best episode to date, a crowning achievement if not for the dubious quality of all that came before it. Episode 13 in contrast was as flawed as it was good, with both character development and nonsensical plotlines abound.
