Plot Summary:After the outbreak of the unidentified virus "Lost Christmas" in 2029, Japan has been under the control of a multi-nation organization called GHQ. Ohma Shu is a 17 year old boy who has a psychic power in his right hand. He can use the power "Ability of King" to extract tools or weapons from his friends. He has been avoiding making trouble for others but his life changes when he meets a girl Yuzuriha Inori, a member of a resistance guerrilla group called "Undertaker", whose members pilot mecha weapons to fight against the government.

 In the year 2029, the mysterious Apocalypse Virus spreads and plunges all of Japan into a state of emergency in a period of chaos known as Lost Christmas. Eventually, an international organization known as the GHQ intervenes with martial law and restores order to Japan at the expense of its independence.

Ten years later in 2039, Shu Ouma, an unsociable 17-year-old high school student who often keeps to himself in school, meets Inori Yuzuriha, lead singer for Egoist, when visiting one of his favorite places on his way home from school. Shu is a big fan of Inori, who has taken the internet world by storm, and is surprised to meet her in person. However, he soon discovers the other side of her: Inori is a member of the Funeral Parlor, a resistance group that aims to liberate Japan from the clutches of the GHQ.

From that point on, Shu takes part in the actions of Funeral Parlor and the "king's mark" appears on his right hand. This mark bestows upon him the "power of kings," the ability to reach inside someone else's body and extract and materialize a weapon, or "Void," from it.

Directed by Tetsuro Araki, with a story written by Hiroyuki Yoshino (with the help of Ichiro Okouchi), and featuring character designs by redjuice and music composed by Ryo, both of them members of the popular J-pop band Supercell, Guilty Crown is the latest work by Production I.G currently airing on the noitaminA block. Funimation has recently licensed the series and is simulcasting it right now as of this writing, with a DVD and Blu-Ray release to follow sometime in 2012.

A manga adaptation is being published by Square Enix's Gangan Comics in their Monthly Shonen Gangan label, and a Nitro+-produced PC game spinoff titled Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas, with a story written by Jin Haganeya, who is also part of the show's writing team, and set to be released next year.

The first twelve episodes are more or less roughly comparable to the likes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. When Loop 7, the area where most of the events take place, gets locked down, comparisons to Infinite Ryvius and Devil Survivor start to become common for a while and, in the end, the series goes right back to Eva territory for its conclusion.
