This is all I can remember:

It's an anime series with some SF or future theme. The government has the ability to close off a very large city-block with walls that can move and destroy buildings. Behind these walls, they have defenses which can kill anyone who tries to leave the quarantined area. As far as I know, there was some form of virus, but the surviving children were not contaminated.

As far as I know, it's about a high-schooler who has to survive in this quarantine and has to form a society to survive. At first, the leader wanted to be more democratic, but then his girlfriend gets killed which turns him into become a hard-line dictator. In the end (I think, not sure), they build enough resources to make an attempt to escape.

I'd like to know the title of this series. For some reason, the new Valvrave anime reminds me of this series.

I hope I've given you enough information to find the title.

  • Do you know a time period when it might have aired? or when did you watch it? – Robin May 10 '13 at 11:00
  • I wish I could. I thought I'd seen it on DVD(1999). But it could have been 1 of my earlier complete downloads(2002). At first I thought it was Infinite Ryvius, but that one was set in space, in a spaceship. – Kat May 10 '13 at 11:12

  • Hiya, thanks for that title. But it's not the title I was looking for. The main character didn't have powers as far as I remember. – Kat May 10 '13 at 09:58
  • hmm then i gotta remember which 1 it was since i remember the anime you are describing – Robin May 10 '13 at 10:00
  • lol, also wracking my brain over here. Looking through my old DVD's right now. XD I can see the images vividly, but just can't seem to remember the title. – Kat May 10 '13 at 10:28
  • @Kat: This is the closest match for the recent years anime. – nhahtdh May 10 '13 at 11:04
  • @Kat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Guilty_Crown_episodes you might wanna read the episode descriptions to see if it really isnt this anime – Robin May 10 '13 at 11:06
  • Downloading it now. Really thought that the main character didn't have any powers. Hoping for the best. – Kat May 10 '13 at 11:24
  • Also reading the episode link, hopefully that'll jog my memory. – Kat May 10 '13 at 11:27
  • Thanks! It is the correct answer, sorry for having a bad memory. Only thing I could connect to Guilty Crown at first was mechas and resistance, a crappy lead character with power and an idol girl. Thank you for helping me. *starts to replace harddrive in head* – Kat May 10 '13 at 11:50
  • @Kat No problem glad we could help you – Robin May 10 '13 at 11:57

From Anime News Network:

A deadly virus known as "Algernon" has attacked humanity with vicious meaning. At the forefront of the battle is the mystifying Akamatsu Industries – disguised as a heavy machine factory in Tokyo, this undercover organization uses neural enhanced weapons known as NeuroNoids to battle Algernon.
