In the near future, the outbreak of a terrible disease called the Apocolypse Virus places Japan under the military rule of a global organization called the GHQ - a group tasked with checking the spread of the virus and administering vaccinations. Apathetic high school student Shuu Ouma lives in Tokyo, spending his days editing videos and trying to be left alone. But things change when he meets the beautiful pop idol, Inori, who is on the run from GHQ soldiers. While trying to save her from her captors, he acquires a mysterious power called the Void Gene that allows him to pull items or weapons from anyone under the age of seventeen. Now, Shuu must decide whether to join the efforts of the well-funded radical terrorist group "Funeral Parlor" and fight against the GHQ, or shrug off his newfound power and resume his normal life - assuming that either the GHQ or Funeral Parlor's charismatic leader, Gai, will let him.

So I felt that nearing the end of the Deadman Wonderland series these two are really similar, but most of that are spoilers so I'll just stick to the basic stuff. Both are Sci-Fi's about a guy who gets involved in a world to be honest he doesn't want to be there. Then there are a load of similarities about the relationship between the main male and female, Ganta and Shiro in Deadman Wonderland and Inori and Shu in Guilty Crown. Involving childhood and the effect they have on their friends, Personally I think that whoever watches or reads one they should like the other.

Both feel very similar to each other. There is a similar underlying plot (the main characters both have unusual powers) and the characters are all quite similar. Deadman Wonderland is a lot more openly insane, whereas Guilty Crown is more subtle, but if you liked one you will probably like the other.

Live or Die? That is the question and one of the main themes that run through these series. The idea of tension building as the story grows is quite clear in these series. A lot of Violence is also present in both stories so if you like the idea of live or die as well as some violent elements then you should check them out, so if you liked the Imawa no Kuni no Alice (Anime) or the Deadman Wonderland (Manga) you should check the other out...

Concrete Revolutio

Concrete Revolutio

What if superhumans were real? Even better, what if every fabled superhuman existed at the same time, in the same place? Titans from outer space, life forms from a mystical world, phantoms and goblins from ancient times, cyborgs created by scientists, relics that rose out of the ruins of ancient civilizations. In another Japan, it's not just a question of “what if”—it's a reality. Some of the superhumans choose to keep their identities a secret, while others bask in their superhuman fame. Jiro Hitoyoshi, member of the Superhuman Bureau, keeps track of their doings.
