History Fanfic / AkaneNoGuiltyCrown

Throughout the small fandom; certain Guilty Crown fanfics like ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8025108/1/Guilty-Melody Guilty Melody]]'', ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7987310/1/Shackles-of-Guilt Shackles of Guilt]]'', and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8897975/1/Reclaiming-the-throne Reclaiming The Throne]]'' have fleshed out the narrative and made the setting and characters more enjoyable than the canon source material. Over the years, these stories and others from the first days of the anime’s fandom either remained unfinished or on indefinite hiatus.

Then in October 13, 2021 is the tenth anniversary of ''Guilty Crown'', in which [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/50988/Kanius Kanius]] (the author of ''Fanfic/AkaneNoMai'' and ''Fanfic/ShinYuYuGiDigiMoon'') and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1236084/Allfather-Ford Allfather-Ford]] thought of a reboot story entitled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13967977/1/Akane-no-Guilty-Crown Akane no Guilty Crown]]''. This improves on the show's flaws, fixes the characters' personalities and compresses the story's pacing into a limited OVA series. It works for the best of making this an OVA instead of a longer term main series in relation to real-life and the author is focusing on other things. New characters are incorporated into this story alongside the familiar cast. This is also meant to bring a renaissance in rekindling the anime fandom along with its interest with the setting.

* BreakingOldTrends: ''Akane no Guilty Crown'' is a huge breaking of old trends to past stories done by Kanius. It is the first stand-alone story after decades of previous fanfictions that focus on crossovers. It is the first that truly feels like a novelization in selective moments after the previous two series (Akane no Mai and Shin-YYGDM are like pseudo officials), with a different writing style that has no named attacks and no bold/italics location/timezone sections in the story narrative at the start of each scene, alongside averting Main/{{Infodump}} in which any specific report-like information and explanations go under the AllThereInTheManual A/Ns.

--->''One theme I could see is finding your true purpose in the world. Shu has yet to determine what he wants in this dystopian setting. Him meeting Inori, Gai, Ayase, and the others opens his eyes to a chance to fight for a better future and escape his mundane lifestyle. After finding his new purpose, he has found a chance to better his future and open his horizons to a world outside his normal one.''

* SeriesFauxnale: In behind the scenes of Kanius’s three stories (''Akane no Mai'', ''Shin-YYGDM'', and ''Akane no Guilty Crown'') that composes the new triad, this ''Guilty Crown'' retelling would have been seen as a finale. Of course Akane no Guilty Crown will end before Akane no Mai’s Book II even concludes, meaning that after Akane no Guilty Crown will return back to the Akane no Mai continuity of return back in time to the present. On the other hand, the author of the story mention this:
--->''As for Akane no Guilty Crown being a ‘series finale/fauxnale’ for the pseudo-fiction/novel works, I could see it being the finale. I hope it’ll match the writing quality of my first novel at least, but we’ll see. It’s a story set in the far future, making it an ideal finale of the pseudo-novel trilogy (Akane no Mai, Shin-YYGDM, and Akane no Guilty Crown). It’s also fitting that the more grounded non-crossover story is the final one.''
* ShoutOut: Heath and Akiko's Voids that are humanoid shape pay tribute to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stands]], [[VideoGame/AstralChain Legions]], and [[Franchise/{{Persona}} Personas]].

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The story has a hybrid tyrannosaur and a dinosaur presentation of showing a real-life cloned dinosaur for starters.

** Inspirations of the Reigizan are from the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' and ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''.

* BloodierAndGorier: With the M-rating, the story allows the use of brutal moments and death. The first scene that establishes this trope is in Chapter I showing Shu delivering the killing blow on the Fafnir rex, by slicing off half of its head horizontally that blood pours out of the death wound and soaks Shu.
