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.

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*

<p>This is all I can remember:</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>I hope I've given you enough information to find the title.</p>

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.
