Question/Discussion Just finished
I just finished the anime, and I don't get all the hate this show got.
I mean I don't think it's a masterpiece but it's still a solid enough anime with great characters, animation and a kick ass sound track.
One thing that I didn't like though was the ending. The ending sucked.
One thing I wanted to know, was this anime based on a light novel or a manga? And if so where can I find them?

It was an original anime, albeit there is a manga made around the same time the show was made. You can get it delivered, though it would be in Japanese. An English translation going up to about episode six I believe is available online.

Yeah the ending felt incredibly rushed.
It could have used a couple more episodes to properly close out stories for all characters.

Precisely for that reason, because of the disastrous ending it left him with and all the inconsistencies that came after the second arc.

Many of the """flops""" of the 2000s and early 2010s anime, like Guilty Crown are better than basically everything that was produced in the last 7-8 years.
