Just finished Guilty Crown last night. It had its ups (i.e. the first half) and its downs (i.e. about 3/4 of the second half) but overall I highly recommend it--especially the first half (episodes 1-12). The second half is still worth watching, but only because it redeems itself towards the end.
Originally I was hesitant to watch because the trailers I saw made it seem like some generic virus-breaks-out-and-infects-everyone-except-a-few-survivors story, but that's actually not what it is at all. I can't really say more without spoiling it, though. Just trust me not to judge this one by its cover.

Personally I watched the original Japanese version, but out of curiosity I sampled a few English episodes too and was happy to find that they were well done.
