[Anime] Code Geass: Lelouche of the Rebellion

This. The guys in /a/ have been photoshopping Suzaku's pose there into EVERYTHING. It's great.

I really have nothing to add though. I'm enjoying the return of Lelouch's fabulousness.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Good Zero, you look kind of FABULOUS.

I also love the how Zero was standing directly in front of the wings placed in the Chinese Embassy during his broadcast.

Also:



....AH! Pretty much sums up the first episode of R2 right there. Every time he makes that face I'll think of Rita now. God damn you /a/.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Code Geass is actually the fastest subbed show this season, GG and Eclipse both have their releases out Sunday afternoon (EST). Seven weeks in and it's still true.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Zero is losing all the time (losing all the credibility as being some kind of evil genius which was the cool thing about him) and he's turning into a bawwing emotional bitch who's making lots of weird AND stupid decisions.

Most of the characters are losing colour in my opinion and it doesn't feel like there's any good development between them. Many characters have gotten introduced in the new season, but after a while just been left behind with no importance to the plot at all. What I liked about the first season was that practically every character introduced had some importance to the progression of the plot line.

There's like no tactics or strategy left in the series, even though I guess there wasn't too much real strategy in the first season neither, but back then it felt just a bit plausible and "OMGWTFBBQ" worthy. Anyhow, now it's all about who has the biggest mecha-penis and how many goatse-wide plot holes they can fit into one episode.

Anyone who's starting to feel the same?

Quite the opposite. Anybody who didn't survive the transistion from S1 to R2 wasn't important enough or had their story finished and over with (Shirley, for example).

The Xing-ke/Zero one upping each other in Turn 10 was largely due to the fact that Zero is no longer facing a bunch of incompetent morons this season, with Schniezel being a perfect match for Lelouch's genius and Xing-ke being his own special brand of plot hax, it's become obvious he's not going to be able to win as easily as he did the first time around, but that's part of what makes it so fun to watch.

As for the Zero baawww thing, we get one episode where he mopes about after being masterstroked by the emperor, and all of a sudden he's a whiny bitch? Wow. Sure he had his day then, but overall he's grown quite a bit and has learned to go with the flow more and not go into instant defeat mode the moment someone pulls a fast one on him, rather turning to his genius ability and his support around him to pull off comeback victories.

Return of OOOOORRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE is going to be all kinds of great.

What new fanservice characters are you speaking of? The only thing I can remember of recent was the swimsuit nonsense during the school festival, and the culprits there were all from Season One, Viletta included. And that part was not needed, I'll give you that. The only thing I can think of outside of that is the obligatory body shot of Kallen in every episode, and well, I doubt they'll stop doing that any time soon.

Quote:

I know why supposedly Zero is getting his ass kicked, that they're supposed to be much smarter than the average dudes he met early on in season 1. What I'm bothered about is that as a matter of fact there's no special or smart tactics going on even though they're supposed to be great tacticians or whatever, Zero is getting beat up for always doing stupid decisions, letting his emotions get in the way or because his mecha-penis is too small. And it just doesn't make any sense, the "tactics" that were used in ep 10 were real weird and I don't think anyone with in one's right mind would really risk going in like Xing-ke did just because he somehow had a feeling that Zero would do like he did. Also how come the only place in the middle of the battlefield that didn't get flooded was EXACTLY in the middle of Zero's troops and where Xing-ke's troop stood, well, how damn lucky isn't that. There's nothing genius about that, just damn luck. In the end, going after Kallen was meaningless and Zero is starting to get freaked up.

Actually using the land is a valid warfare tactic, and it played out that way because Zero and Xing-ke both think alike, and so Xing planned ahead for Zero's tactics. It's not that hard to believe.

Also there are a number of reasons to go after Kallen. For one, she knows his true identity (Sayako is currently playing as Lelouch back at the academy), he has slight feelings for her true, but you also have to remember his Raison d'etre has changed now that Nunally is the Gov. Gen. of Area 11. He can't say that he's fighting to keep her safe and create the world for her because she more or less is, and is also part of the Brittania he wishes to overthrow. He now fights for the lives of everyone he holds close, this mainly includes everyone back at Ashford, and Kallen is included in this group. His decision to rescue her only further implants his beliefs and show that he's changing.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well the school nonsense is probably going to come to an end very shortly. Milly is gone, Kallen is off FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD, Nina is somewhere being a crazy racist bitch, and

Spoiler:

Shirley dies in the next episode

, so the show SHOULD go back to being about the real fight in very short order.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, the ORANGE thing was explained back in the picture dramas from the first season. If you can't see why he'd change sides to side with the guy whose mother is the very person he failed to protect with his life which in turn lead to his sort of downward spiral, then you are several different kinds of retarded.

Also, agreeing with Blah.

Also also, fuck yes ORRRRRRANGE.

Order of the ORANGE Knights.

FELIPE NO

MORE KALLEN FUCK YEAH

Fixed your post for you. Kallen is fucking back, everyone else can get fucked and die.

Even if what is being hinted at between Todou and Asahina happens, Kallen and ORRRRRANGE are pretty much all Zero needs at this point, seeing as how Orange is now Captain Badass and the new Gurren is the most overpowered mech I've ever seen in my entire life, moreso than the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice from SEED.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'd be pretty miffed if they decided to pull a KILL EM ALL now, but you're on the money about the Rolo thing. His ass is going to be dead very, very shortly.

And god damn I love that avatar, nanaman.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So when is the thread going to be renamed GARlouche of the Rebellion. He earned about a million badass points that last ep, I loved the hilarious KMF ceremony for his entrance that nobody would ever see at all. Even when nobody is looking, he's still fabulous.

Also run Suzuku, run away! You prick.

How ya doing, buddy?

They're just waiting for the right chance to UNLEASH THE BEAST. The moment his prowess (and Geass) stops being an informed ability, much akin to Toudou's warfare skills in S1, it's going to be awesome.

Also lol Knight of Four.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Fuck yes, you are the best ending ever. Manly tears were shed, also fuck yes Orange with the badassery.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Brady is still butthurt the show didn't go the way he wanted it to.

But fuck you, it was awesome. Sunrise agreed, don't ask about it.

I was speaking idiomatically.
