Ouma Shu drawing a void (Picture taken from: animequotes.net)

This morning I finished an anime called Guilty Crown. The story follows a teenage guy, Ouma Shu, who starts out as a lazy high school student in Japan which is controlled by GHQ forces after the 'Lost Christmas' incident. GHQ uses the apocalyptic 'Lost Christmas' incident as a guise to subjugate the Japanese who are believed to be carrying the Apocalypse virus. Instead of tracking specific suspects, GHQ would wipe out entire cities of Japanese citizens at a time. Shu, who seemingly seemed to be on the outside of the chaos with GHQ, comes across an idol named Yuzuriha Inori from the group Egoist in the show. Shortly after meeting Inori, Shu is brought into the havoc between the Undertakers rebellion group, which Inori is a member of, and GHQ. In the first skirmish, Inori winds up injecting Shu with a void genome, which allows Shu to essentially pull a person's heart out in the form of a weapon or tool to fight. Throughout the series, Shu faces several conflicts in which he must utilize his void abilities in order to assist the Undertakers which he joined after being led into the organization by Inori and the leader, Tsutsugami Gai.
