Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

[hemagoku]

is there going to be one ? cuz i am not satisfied with this ending

[Spartan27]

Don't worry, the second season will be opening after the first half of the new Gundam ends, so it goes first half of Code Geass, first half of Gundam 00, Second half of Code Geass, Second half of Gundam. So I think that will mean it will air sometime in the Spring

If that had been the ending to the show, I think a lot of people would have been dissapointed since its not really an ending. Personally I think the show is a little overated, but it still is something to look foward to, especially considering the overall weak lineup that we have right now, except it will be replacing one of the only worth while shows on right now, but I still have my hopes this will be resolved in the next season.

[emoloz]

Really i was wondering when code geass second season would be on glad thats cleared up :D. Overrated really? I'd say Gundam is more myself lol.

[Riekie]

Woah yeah, but I am still very afraid that it will be aired October '08:(

Gah...everyone's forgotten about it then:(

[Spartan27]

I am not saying that Gundam is not overrated, because it is, I would say that if we compared Code Geass to say Seed or Destiny, CG wins not by landslide but still wins very comfortably, this new Gundam is too short to judge. I think CG is a good anime I just think that people have made Code Geass to be more than it really is. I am sorry but Lelouch is not as great as some people make him out to be, while he is smart, and a bit new in terms of being a protaganist who isn't some perfect being, I don't see him as interesting as Light, who many have compared him too. CC is about the only character who I actually find interesting. Also I think they try to use shock treatment a bit too much, it tries too hard at times too be a more mature Gundam.

Finally when I first learned that they were going to make the United States and Britain the main villians I was a little annoyed by that. It just seems as if the Japanese have a tendency to be like the Americans in the 1970s and 80s when it was the Russians who were the evil people in every single movie, Stop making my country out to be the devil. I am not a supporter of what my country is doing right now, but I am tired of seeing the US being depicted as the evil empire out to rule the world, in every one of these international political animes. I will admit I got a little laugh when Lelouch declared that the new Japan would be called the United States of Japan, that was a little funny.

[hemagoku]

Woah yeah, but I am still very afraid that it will be aired October '08:(

Gah...everyone's forgotten about it then:(
october 2008 ? O.o i can't wait that long ,but i can wait for spring this year and see wat happens

[rei_ai]

I already expected Code Geass second season since episode twenty five is a total cliffhanger. What the heck is C.C true name?? perhaps that's the most important thing I want to know >.<

And yes, Code Geass is one of the best anime produced this year. (death note is one)

Glad that it will be back next year, but indeed...it's too long to wait...

thanks for the info, anyway :)

[speedphantom]

Really i was wondering when code geass second season would be on glad thats cleared up :D. Overrated really? I'd say Gundam is more myself lol.I agree with you on that one Loz:p

Spring, so that means Autumn, hmm March! >< so far away! Gah! Oh well, it'll be worth the wait! Code Geass is the best anime out in so many years. Top stuff!

[Zangetsu01]

Big spoiler from season 2 (sorry, we don't have the release date), must waiting the end of Gundam 00 first season...

[emoloz]

Interesting guess it means that its 2008 at some point but sadly the pictures don't define much but who's the guy at the top left hand of the second page? Interesting.

[PB|Ichigo]

Finally, it is certain: the January issue of the journal "Newtype" (available from the 10th December) will officially announce that the continuation of the "Code Geass - Lelouch of the rebellion" will be aired in spring of 2008 on Japanese television. Since the open end of the first season in July, there have been numerous rumors about possible dates and broadcast content, but the official website of the Anime has been vehemently denied all speculation. The official blog on the other hand, had tried to downplay internetrumors. The ostensible reason was that the producers weren't clear, whether to release the series on TV or on DVD.

[Spartan27]

If you look at Random Curiosity there's a post on the news, apperently theres going to be a new character named Rollo who looks like he is way to girly looking, I don't know what there going to do with this new guy, but from what I saw of his character design it doesn't look good, also it appears that the action will take place more on a global scale than in the United States of Japan (I always laugh when I remember that).

Evil Suzaku ?, with little Lelouch ?, hu hu, it will be interesting...:D

[Riekie]

Aaah really is that Suzaku?! I thought it was someone else thus making Suzaku.....dead. So glad, if it is him, that he's still alive:D He's just too cute:D and yaaaay for Lelouch- looking more maniacal than in the first round^^

[speedphantom]

Thats Suzaku draped in the velvet curtains as well!? Who's the weird skinny dude and Lelouch looks evil bwahaha XD evil Lelouch FTW!

It just says 2008 no set date?

[hemagoku]

y did u delete my post :yell :mad: ,i was saying that there is a new character ,which is the little kid ,and i think he is going to be an important character

[emoloz]

Oooo seems like a little update. Guess it kind of clears well yeah xD. Looks interesting but who is that skinny kid. Whoever it is he needs feeding o_O. Looks like this season will be interesting. I hope its soon that cliff really left us hanging.

[Flying Banana]

who's the dude?? o__o looks like Lelouch but...who is he? xD
so it's coming out next year? -__- i might as well forget about it so it won't take so long once it comes out xD which is what i always do :P
but i can't wait!! >w< suzaku looks evil o.o

@Hema: stop whining and you didn't say that at all, all you said was 3 words, as usual.

This time though you fattened up your post, mainly with complaint but also with other initial info.


@Speed: I read somewhere in this thread that it will come out in March/April? please let it be then instead of October..

[emoloz]

^ I hope so they can't kick it til October I will have lost interest by then. I think March/ April would suit if there's promotion actually going on now for it. Has to be soon they can't promote it now and leave it til later that would be just plain stupid and mean and everyone would give up. Thus making it really hella bad marketing skills.

[Zangetsu01]

It seems that they will do an exchange with Gundam 00.

15 Episodes of Gundam 00 (to make 26, a sort of mid-season)
=> 2nd season of Code Geass (don't know how much episode...)
=> 2nd part of Gundam 00

so, 15 weeks to wait...;)

The only "disturbing" thing, that if there is a new Zero, it can suggest that Lelouch died...:cry:cry

[speedphantom]

Thanks so much man, thats some great news! Uh oh........NO! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!

Lelouch can't die =(!

[emoloz]

Thanks so much man, thats some great news! Uh oh........NO! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!

Lelouch can't die =(!

I KNOW. THEY CAN'T KILL HIM. I wonder if that scrawny kid then will be the new Zero? Oh dear :S. Guess we'll get answers on the 5th April then.

[speedphantom]

He can't be the new Zero! Rollo is an interesting name, doesn't sound very French. Zero can't be replaced! Lelouch must live! Long live Lelouch!

April 5th is so long away! 3 more months gah! Not fair! TT

[hemagoku]

well i think that the from the last thing we saw ,lelouch may die and since when lelouch had a bro ?

[speedphantom]

Its just weird that they'd make everyone wait half a year then kill off the main character and throw his un-introduced brother into the lead role.

The question to ask is also since when didn't Lelouch have a brother:p?

Because he hasn't been shown doesn't mean he doesn't exist!

[v1nx]

mb it's Nunally )

Lulu can't be dead - hу IS Zero...+ I really can't imagine CG without him...

[emoloz]

Nunally replace Zero. I highly doubt that >.<.

I hope they don't kill him off they can stick him in the loony bin a while til he clams down then bring him back out. Or something to that effect but kill him. After the cliffhanger though like it doesn't make sense yet i guess we'll have to wait and see what the series comprehends for us.

[Spartan27]

I have to agree with the claim that it would make absolutly no sense to kill off Lelouch. I don't know what the writers are thinking if that is going to be the case, you simply do not kill your main character after a half year cliffhanger. I am not the biggest fan of CG or Lelouch but I will admit that Lelouch is an interesting main character that has mass appeal, so I don't think this is even possible if they want the 2nd season to be successful.

As for the new character, why would you suddenly introduce appearently a new sibling, at that a sickly looking girly boy who seems completely out of his element. I guess I should actually see where they are going with all this before I start railing against it, but I don't understand why you would completely mess with a product that had already won mass appeal.

[Soranushi]

A new Zero doesn't mean the old one is dead you know its probably someone trying to copy Lelouch or is helping him or something like that

[speedphantom]

That would be ideal, Lelouch just can't die. If there's a new zero I'd also hope its some kinda replacement so he can concentrate on other things.

I don't think the new scrawny kid would be the new zero, no one can replace Lelouch!

[rei_ai]

I don't think the new scrawny kid would be the new zero, no one can replace Lelouch!

So true! The evilness trademark of Lelouch is irreplaceable :yell. His laugh, his knotted forehead, and his low-voice are all copyrighted.

Lol, Zero might be Kallen? :p

Maybe Lelouch was comatosed or something. Suzaku can't really die because of the 'Live' command, and I don't want Syaoran's copy to die :cry

A new Lamperouge with inherited evilness was introduced. So what's his role is what I like to find out maybe he's Lelouch clone or something...

'nuff said

[emoloz]

I hate both ideas. Zero is Lelouch END. Can't have two Zero's going around the whole thing just seems a really bad idea. I mean if LeLouch gets injured and he's hired this scrawny kid to be Zero for him or something to that effect so he can plot more or whatever and doesn't get killed. Now that would be plausible. I don't think the rest would work as in fan base wise there's too many Lelouch fans to get him out of the picture.

I like the idea Zero could be Kallen I'd prefer if she was because if he died at least we know her and how much she hates Britannia and stuff. Though i'd prefer Zero to stay the same. Lelouch makes a good Zero to be honest.

'nuff saidSuzaku............emoloz knows what I think of him:p

Zero cannot be replaced, Lelouch cannot die, Suzaku well he also probably can't. Lets just hope everyone lives and if there's a new Zero, its because Lelouch quit and handed on the mantle.I hate both ideas. Zero is Lelouch END. Can't have two Zero's going around the whole thing just seems a really bad idea. I mean if LeLouch gets injured and he's hired this scrawny kid to be Zero for him or something to that effect so he can plot more or whatever and doesn't get killed. Now that would be plausible.

Lelouch makes a good Zero to be honest.THE BEST ZERO! Kallen can't die either, she's one of my favourite characters! x3 the feisty girls who stand up for their beliefs!:p

[emoloz]

LOL YES AND YOU SHOULD BE NICE TO HIM!!!!! *Pats Suzaku* HE CANNOT DIE NO!

Neither of them can because the whole story will go down the drain. I guess you like the idea of Kallen Speedy care to share why? I guess she'd be the best option the other would be uber lame O_o

[Soranushi]

I just got a new idea after seeing a pic of of Zeros New Costume if it is new maybe thats what they meant :p and has anyone checked the Japanese site thats was posted on ANN

[emoloz]

On Zeros profile bit? If so that's just what the outfit looks like without the cape. From the looks i doubt Lelouch will be dying any time soon. I wonder if it will be meaning that he will sorta have a new assistant unless Britannia create their own Zero O_o

Code Geass Season 2 episode 1 SUB. By GG.

Hopefully it's still working. :/

[Raiden]

just watched ep 1, gotta say pretty good start, when lelouch regained his powers and was all like he wanted to recreate the world reminded me of light :lmao

[Ulquiorra]

i came in my pants after watching the episode

this part especially:
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7259/24fiu7dvg4.gif


:wtf

[Dice]

Well on the whole the first episode was pretty good, not spectacular because of the obvious parallels with the first season's first episode, but still good. There are so many questions left unanswered though from the last season, and hopefully we'll find out how did all the characters get from where they were last season to this place.

I also thought Suzaku looks so awesome at the end. :wtf

[Babbo]

Babbo's kinda on the wall about the first ep >.>

The last couple minutes made it all worth it (seriously they'll never be able to touch that kinda stuff in the english dub), but babbo kinda feels annoyed that they didn't play with his amnesia a bit more. It seemed kinda of pointless aside from it's use as a tool to center the reawakening of the black knights. That being said the innocent lelouch made babbo want to break things <.<

[hemagoku]

can someone up it on veoh or crunchyroll, please i can't dl from megaupload

[Velius]

Not a bad start. The parallels were kinda annoying, but it's just getting started, kinda, so it's understandable. Karen's bunny suit was win. Reminds me of another bunny suit... with a guitar....

[Soranushi]

Cool the sub is out but I have a question does anyone know were I can DL the first season direct dl's if possible.

So is this real I know from pics that CC eats pizza but Pizzahut? Checks the raw I have Oh Sh*t!! well thats very cool argh now I want Pizza:p Oh! since the Dub is coming out this month do think JYB will make a good Lelouch?

[vaizado]

Is this anime worth watching? Havent watched the first season.

[BluRry]

itz orite vizardo.. i have watched a few days ago and would say that it is a great anime...

[Velius]

vaizado it's quite good, but not really great imo. I think Gurren Lagann was better from last year. Lots of parts can be overly dramatic, but there are too many good points in the show for that to stop it. I would say at least try it out. You'll be hooked more then likely, or just not really care.

[Spartan27]

Yes it's really good, not quite as good as some make it out to be, but it should be an anime that you watch, as Velius said the good points outweigh the bad, and it's going to an epic storyline.

[Babbo]

since the Dub is coming out this month do think JYB will make a good Lelouch?

Babbo doesn't see it happening. Kinda annoying that they barely had him say anything in the trailer. Babbo has to wonder if there are any talented english speaking VAs that actually could pull off that role >.>

[speedphantom]

Is this anime worth watching? Havent watched the first season.I personally think its one of the best anime ever created:pjust my opinion.

I still can't believe they didn't show us what happened after the shootout. We have no idea what happened!:yell

Was a nice first episode back. Weird how C.C. locked away his Geass and he somehow had false memories implanted.

[Skorpz]

the episode gave me a lot of questions like what happen to nunally and how is rollo lelouch brother?

[Spartan27]

I'm really curious how they are going to explain how we never saw Rollo, or even heard of him, yet it seems like he's been there all along. To me it doesn't quite make sense, I just hope this isn't going to turn out to be bad writing. Good first episode imo, very nice intro into the new season. Lot's of opportunity here to have a truly epic anime, I just hope they end this season better than they did the last.

[speedphantom]

Yeah! Its so weird. I'm guessing he was in the Britannia homeland and he only just came over. That's the only explanation.

[Spartan27]

But you see, to me this is bad writing, to have a "brother" (we don't even know if they are actually blood related) that is overseas and to not hear about him just doesn't make any sense, don't you think we would have heard of this other sibling. I don't know, I'm just frustrated if they felt like they had to include a shota character just to have one, but I'll let it play out before I call bullshit on the writers.

[vaizado]

Anyone know where I can download episodes from the first season in avi. format? All Ive found so far are Matroska files, and my old crappy laptop video card cant play those properly even if I have the right codec.

[emoloz]

This episode kinda disappointed me. I guess i expected too much from that but just his memory locked away I mean what a way to kill suspense but I guess they were right not to kill any of the guys off. Thing is where's Nunnally in all this. So confusing and hasn't answered anything but I guess thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Rolo a brother jeeze thats another thing thats annoyed me why couldn't he just be some companion or something.

Ah well I hope it improves. I mean it could have been a heck of a lot worse but yeah seen better from storylines.

Geez man, if that's your situation, you'll probably better of just watching it streamed somewhere like Veoh. This is a popular show, shouldn't be that difficult to find it.

[Ulquiorra]

um people, it should be clear now that Rollo was never Lelouch's brother

he was a spy, and the only reason why people thought he was Lelouch's "brother" was because of the false memories he had.

[BluRry]

Meh, there are plenty of ways to justify it, they just have to give a bit background here and there. Personally babbo hopes he's a plant from the emperor during lelouche's amnesia, but that seems all too unlikely.

um people, it should be clear now that Rollo was never Lelouch's brother

See, now babbo would agree, but even the Baron on personal order from the emperor only thought of him as a Lelouche's brother, he had no reason to hide it either, he had every intention of killing lelocueh there and was intent on showing off his whole plan. There's also the fact that not many people actually know that lelouch is Zero, let alone that he is alive, so what reason could there be to spy on him? It's plausible that Suzaku has told the emperor, but that's not necessarily the case.

[rvngu]

allright! code geass! it's good that they didn't everything that happened in that cave. how many episodes for this season?

[hemagoku]

i think its 25

Yeah I can see what Babbo means by this. Good thinking. It all depends on what kind of man Suzaku is a prat or someone who keeps his words.

*tries to avoid 9 pages of spoilers*

So I finished watching the first season. Damn, talk about leaving you with a huge cliffhanger. Im about to watch the first episode of season 2.

OH yea, this anime rocks.

[emoloz]

I shall have to download that. Yes guys do you think we could use spoiler tags because am sure a few people are just getting into this crazy franchise?

[Ulquiorra]

so how many people think...

Suzaku is a huge hypocrite now that he's sold out his best friend to get promoted to the Knights of Round? Or is his reason justifiable with Lelouch killing Euphie?

[LovelyTeir]

I am a pretty big Code Geass fan http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/teiris629/shy.gif
Even though it is one of my favorite animes, it does dissapoint me in several ways. The biggest one is that there are some so many parallels with other animes. It is like none of what Code Geass brings to the table is original. For example Lelouch's Geass is very similar to Light Yagami's ability from Death Note. Even Lelouch's demeanor is similar to Light's. Another example would be the high school mecha ordeal, which is found in several other mangas. When i first started to watch Code Geass i was so excited that it was made by Clamp, (the same people who brang us X) but as the series progressed it seemed like Suzaku and Lelouch became more and more like Kamui and Fuma. Lelouch ends up killing Suzaku's loved one, which happens to be his sister. Fuma in X kills Kotori, which also happens to be his sister. In both anime the loss of the loved one destroys the friendship and the two become enemies.
The people at clamp (which has a writing staff of all women http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/teiris629/laugh.gif) have seemed to "borrow" a lot of popular ideas from several manga's and mashed them together to create Code Geass. Clamp has produced an amazing anime that has combined a lot of ideas that were successful in the past. Although i love Code Geass for being entertaining, i also hate it at the same time for not having an ounce of originality. I guess you can't ask every anime to be innovative. Season 2 seems to be promising can't wait for more episodes.

on a side note Lelouch is so cute http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/teiris629/kawaii.gif

I am a pretty big Code Geass fan http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/teiris629/shy.gif
Even though it is one of my favorite animes, it does dissapoint me in several ways. The biggest one is that there are some so many parallels with other animes. It is like none of what Code Geass brings to the table is original. For example Lelouch's Geass is very similar to Light Yagami's ability from Death Note. Even Lelouch's demeanor is similar to Light's. Another example would be the high school mecha ordeal, which is found in several other mangas. When i first started to watch Code Geass i was so excited that it was made by Clamp, (the same people who brang us X) but as the series progressed it seemed like Suzaku and Lelouch became more and more like Kamui and Fuma. Lelouch ends up killing Suzaku's loved one, which happens to be his sister. Fuma in X kills Kotori, which also happens to be his sister. In both anime the loss of the loved one destroys the friendship and the two become enemies.

It's kinda hard to find anything original nowadays anyways, in my opinion.

Anyways, I havent watched many mecha anime so this to me is new and thats why I enjoyed it; I dont compare it to other works. I think you'd enjoy it more if you'd stop compare it because the reality is that most if not all of the anime in today's age borrows ideas from something that came before it.

And CLAMP does the story writing? I thought it was Sunrise, and CLAMP just did the character designs?

[speedphantom]

so how many people think...

Suzaku is a huge hypocrite now that he's sold out his best friend to get promoted to the Knights of Round? Or is his reason justifiable with Lelouch killing Euphie?Well, all Suzaku cares about is his own sense of messed up justice. Intially it was made out like Lelouch was more evil but Suzaku has really grown into just as big an evil force:yell

It's all good since it'll make for some more interesting encounters in the future.

Episode 2 was nice how it explained what happened after the cliffhanger:XDI mean Suzaku is such a pro soldier yet he only managed to hit Lelouch's gun or something.

I can't believe the emperor AND Rollo have Geass.....quite disturbing. C.C. mentioned something about Lelouch's Geass can only work if he's looking at someone's eyes. That means that other people's Geass can be used without eye contact?

Suzaku and his Knights of the Rounds (the snob club) sure are funny:pthey've all got massive sized egos.

Nina:yellthat freak is still in the show:hm

I think Code Geass is just as good as the first season. Still as intelligent and epic!:p

[Babbo]

And CLAMP does the story writing? I thought it was Sunrise, and CLAMP just did the character designs?

Yup you got it right. As if a handful of women could write that kinda of story. http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/9862/laughcf0.gif

To begin with it reeks of the kind of themes that sunrise sees constantly in their shows which tend to be rather different when compared to the stuff that clamp typically does >.>

It's written by the GUY (babbo is just poking fun at LovelyTeir nothing serious here) that did the story/comp/screen play for the Planetes anime in collaboration with the director >.>

[ch1mera]

Excellent episode. Back up to the standard of quality I expect from Code Geass, unlike the first episode.

Rollo is a beast in that Vincent of his.lol

Sunrise is just a publishing company, they have no real influence in the stories of what they help produce. Kinda like how companies like Universal and Warner brothers produce random movies that have no constant theme or relate to each other in any way. The series for the most part is created by the writers at Clamp, the "guy" you reference who writes the anime (which isn't really writing since he's pretty much just copy and pasting everything) is Ichirō Ōkouchi. He had nothing to do with the creation of the characters or how they would interact with each other. Rather he makes decisions such as changing the story tiny bits to make it easier to convey in animation. It is the same way Tite Kubo writes the bleach manga but just overlooks the anime (the original ideas from the people who write the anime came up with the failure that is bounto). So heres a simple analogy to Clamp is to Code Geass as Tite Kubo is to Bleach. Ok so I'll admit the writing team at clamp didn't have much to do with the creation of the anime, but they pretty much wrote it. If you have free time check out the manga for X, its very good and you'll see pretty much the same characters with different names (There is an X movie but it was kinda done wrong). I guess the biggest difference with the characters is that X has a really sad ending http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/teiris629/sad.gif and Code Geass will probably have a good ending. Once you check out X you'll see that the main characters and relations between them is almost identical, its almost as if clamp had seen that the ending to X had disappointed so many fans that this was their chance to make things right.

Nina:yellthat freak is still in the show:hm

yeah, Suzaku has grown into quite the hypocrite. I never really liked him after he started spewing stuff about "your way of changing things is wrong!", especially after it was revealed he killed his own father. You killed your own father to cause Japan to submit to the Brittanian Empire, yet you object when Zero tries to change Japan's fate through military defeats. Only thing i ever did like about him was his relationship with Euphie...and that kinda got f'd over...:XD

and no, i think both Rollo and Charles (the Emperor) need to maintain eye contact to use their Geass as well. The only exception to the rule was that mindreading guy who loved C.C. (his name eludes me at the moment).

and yeah...Nina needs to die already :hm

[ch1mera]

Just as I thought.

I tried so hard to understand and at least tolerate Suzaku. But after this?
Suzaku, you are teh evil, how disgraceful can one be, hontoni..:p

[vaizado]

I finally caught up to the latest episode. Gotta say that first episode of R2 left me wondering if the story would be any good at all, but after watching the second episode, my hope in R2 being just as good as the first season came back.

[emoloz]

Glad this weeks episode pawned last weeks because last weeks was pretty shoddy. *prepares to be killed for my low down*

Great episode and how bad ass that there teaming up with the Chinese xD. So didn't see that coming.

Glad Lelouch is completely back to his evil ways, I just don't get why the emperor let him of though its really an odd idea to get around but i think hes a war hugger so eh he wanted Zero back to terrorise.

How messed up though that the Emperor and Rolo have Geass's though? I can't stand either of them and they get cooking Geass too and it would seem the Emperor's is pretty powerful because it was in both of his eyes compared to Rolo's and Lelouch's being in one. Wonder what Rolo's power holds then. He Knightmare is seriously bad ass though.

Glad it explained what happened as well bit it was really obvious and pants i wanted a big western shown down not some crappy back flips and shooting a ouse piece thing urgh. Someone wrote that bit bad.

Suzaku is of the rails and I love it XD. He is such a puppet of the emperor its unbelievable. I dunno why I think hes a really good characther because he is that stuck in all this mess he has created for himself its classic.

Kinights of the round table (STOP STEALING BRITISH LEGANCYS THERE NOT EVEN MEANT TO BE BRITISH DAMNIT!!) are so snobish. That girl repluses me I dunno her name yet but she had pink hair urgh. I think am going to be laughing at these guys can't wait to see what they bring to the table.

I know I was thinking that Speed about the fact it can only be used on eye contact. I wonder if some can work through looking into your mind but the emperor did stare into his eye to erase his memory so no idea.

Ulq my guess is he really did it for Euphie but meh I like Suzaku xD so biasedness may come into play xD

[Skorpz]

Episode 3 of code geass got leaked out on the web, i hope they don't make new changes that might ruin the anime

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-04-16/unaired-code-geass-episode-ending-leaked-by-accident

[Soranushi]

I read that earlier I was scared that they might change what happened as they said yesterday but its okay now since it says its still coming on this week, and I saw the leak and it was a wtf moment at the end.

[emoloz]

Damn i wanna see the leak but meh can wait til next week. What a screw up that was thought xD.

[ch1mera]

Damn wtf with wrong with that faggot… doesnt he know that CG - R2 is serious business oh man.

Well it could draw people to watch it if there like HUH what was that all about.

[Skorpz]

Well it seems that leaked clip revealed what Rollo geass is which is stopping time

[Kojy]

Code Geass R2 headed towards to good direction with the 2nd episode. :D

What really happened between Lelouch and Suzaku in that island, the regain of his real memories, the introduction of the Knights, all this just made the serie grow more in me, banzai for episode 3.

[Ulquiorra]

Well it seems that leaked clip revealed what Rollo geass is which is stopping time

you cant really say that for sure from the clip. It could be teleportation or something else entirely.

unless you watched the sub version and know for sure :confused:

it was confirm when i read this.

With most anime that is the case. The thing is, not all anime are based on source material such as manga or light novels. Some are original stories created by the production company staff (which is a more accurate description of what Sunrise does, they are an animation and production company, though they do have a subsidiary publisher (Sunrise publishing)). This is the case for Code Geass. Sunrise commissioned clamp to do the character designs. The manga is an adaptation of the anime, and in fact came out afterwards.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6704

Take a look at the original story creators (not to mention the singular staff position that clamp held in the series). It might surprise you ;p

Same with the manga (clamp had no part in any of the three adaptations outside of the character designs):

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=8723

And you almost make sound like babbo's CLAMP hating. Babbo has indeed watched, read and enjoyed various CLAMP series: X (it was a while ago though), xxholic, tsubasa, chobits, angelic layer and even a bit of cardcaptor sakura. Babbo's just clarifying a misunderstanding of yours here while poking fun at the ironic stance you've chosen to take with it.

Edit: Wow. How very mature. It's fine when you "correct" Babbo, but when Babbo corrects you, you don't even have the proverbial balls to respond in the actual thread? Babbo doesn't care about negative rep itself, but your reasoning behind it is exceedingly childish and almost offensive.

[hemagoku]

the new eipsode is too late this time ,last time i watched it like 10hr from now ,but last week .... u get the point

[Kojy]

I'm downloading the RAW right now from nyatorrents.org, can't wait to put my hands on it. :D

[hemagoku]

i found the raw online :
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v7015690ySPYJCpf

[ch1mera]

My questions are stilled about where Nunnaly, Cornelia and Orange-Kun are?

[Kojy]

I've just watched the 3rd episode in RAW.

Rollo's geass is so awesome, Viletta is also working undercover and they seem to be tailing Lelouch for him to meet C.C?:confused:. The episode ends in a big cliffhanger, as usual -.-. It was sweet to see Suzaku in action once again, he made a great appearance in the middle of all those troops. :D.
And now, one more week to go for the next episode.

[ch1mera]

watching this episode, i have one thought… isn’t it weird that viletta and shirley are so close? :headscratch
i know she’s her swim team coach, so shirley wanted to buy her a present… but… shouldn’t viletta be like “bitch shot me!” ?
another thing.. er.. does this mean Li won’t be joining the Order?

[hemagoku]

did lelouch just die ? .

[Babbo]

Hema you officially fail at spoiler tags >.>

As it were, he's a) the main character, and b) they didn't show anything so babbo's assuming we can expect some kind of twist, like rollo getting shot by someone who caught him by surprise.

[Ulquiorra]

i officially do not like Rollo's Geass ability

it has nothing to do with the mind! Every single Geass we've seen so far has dealt with the mind: mind control, mind reading, memory alterations. Now we get Rollo into the mix to fuck things up by adding time dilation. Wth.....:facepalm

Babbo's been wondering about that. The one instance where we actually saw the whole process of it being used, the only thing that the situation allowed us to see was rollo making two people stop for a couple moments and making their eyes go red. Babbo has to wonder if it's just a visual/mental trick rather than stopping time. Unless someone knows exactly what was said? This is pure speculation on babbo's part what with his complete lack of Japanese language skills.

edit: oh and it's out by GG chihiro and eclipse

[Kojy]

You're right about that, i guess they just wanted to expand that thought about just controlling something related to our brain. I can see someone's next geass being something absurd. :P

[Babbo]

Hm...Just watched the subs (particularly the seen where rollo uses his geass on viletta and the poor bastard who walked in on their conversation) and babbo's now pretty sure that it's definitely not stopping time. It's an area of effect thingamajig (not sure why babbo didn't remeber that red aura) that probably freezes people mentally or something. Lelouch does say "He stopped the time?" but that's from his perspective rather than what necessarily happened.

[Kojy]

There was something to the radius area when Rollo activated his geass, but then we would have gotten stuck in the stop time or freeze someone mentally, but i hope it's certainly the latter since it would make more judge to the geass ability.

[hemagoku]

y spoilers isn't working for me ?
[SPOILER="ok got new ideas ,the swordman maybe the man who saves lelouch ,rollo's ability is making people in his visual radius have their mind think that time stopped or something like that ,environment isn't affected by the geass so its not time stop ,as u can see the water around them was still falling"]

[Ulquiorra]

cause you have to have the [spoiler=*blahblah*] for BA

[hemagoku]

still not working ,it just disappeared

[Ulquiorra]

:facepalm

like this:

(spoiler=*blahblah*) WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TYPE (/spoiler)

replace the parenthesis with brackets.

there's also a button in advanced reply mode that allows you to do this automatically, labeled with Sp.

[hemagoku]

like this ?

still not working even with the auto button

[Babbo]

auto button o,o? Type it.

[Ulquiorra]

omg seriously. it's not rocket science.

(spoiler=.)

right?

and then you get the content of your message, basically that whooole spoiler post you typed.

and then (/spoiler)

replace the parenthesis with brackets.

so it ends up looking like this

right?

and then you get the content of your message, basically that whooole spoiler post you typed.

hope its working

Lelouch Lamperouge-the ultimate playboy of the century .lmao
Well, my thoughts
Seriously. “I’m a cold hearted killer that wants to kill my own brother to find out who I really am, but I treasure something he gave me.” Rollo seems a bit freaky.
It seems like Lelouch will have a very difficult time eliminating/squeezing information out of his fake brother, seeing as Rollo will be able to halt Lelouch’s actions even before anything happens.

Gonna throw this out there...
I got a crazy feeling that Rollo is actually Nunnally.

Li’s attack on the Black Knights could be his own plan, since Karen and CC seemed surprised at the end of the episode.

The emperor has a geass symbol on both of his eyes right? Possibly one eye erases and the other one writes.

was thinking the exact same things about the emperor and rollo"] .

[ch1mera]

was thinking the exact same things about the emperor and rollo"] .

It´s a crazy idea, but it´s just my 2 cents

V.V. give her a geass which has the ability to see the future, it seems the emperor of britannia other geass is capable of changing the gender of the target, then he use his other geass to put false memories to her. Weird is since she become Rollo the geass ability changed to time stopper. *This makes me remember escaflowne kind of plot where the villain boy is in reality at the near end of the series confirmed as a girl who is sister of one of the main characters..* lol
This explains why Rollo’s birthday is the same as Nunnally.

[hemagoku]

now ,i am thinking that code geass maybe better than the anime i thought the best (death note but before the melo and other guy came in )

[Kojy]

I agree with you, Code Geass is really heading towards the glorification. Myself, had really big admiration for Death Note, but then, during the second season i did lost some interest for the series.

I like the connection between Lelouch and Light's personalities. :P

[ch1mera]

lelouch is almost simmilar to light..
I choose not to think of Lelouch in terms of either right or wrong for the most part.
That he’s human or flawed doesn’t make him right or wrong, it just makes him understandable, and that’s the underlying strong point of the show because its all about gray areas instead of simply black or white..

That´s why Code Geass is made of win!

[Kojy]

^ Just clarified my point to a larger extent. :D

[Babbo]

Meh babbo can sorta see why people make the connection to deathnote on a certain level, but it still annoys babbo. They're different at important thematic levels. Light takes his motivation from his sense of morality (which determines a) what his goal is and B) how he accomplishes it) whereas Lelouch is to a certain degree a much simpler character. He wants revenge against an entity that doesn't really have any kind of debatable nature (that is, at the simplest understanding, whether it is good or evil; Brittania (the political entity) and its leadership are unquestionably amoral).

The story doesn't leave room for debate about whether Brittania should be changed except for the how. Deathnote has a more accessible and complex question of whether criminals should be removed from society swiftly and even if that is right, the question of whether vigilante justice be allowed to accomplish it. Babbo honestly has to wonder if some people just connect them because they have the same kind of fast talking plot twist reliant stories. They're different at more essential levels than the simple fact that one is set in an alternate time line in the future.

[~Vizard/Espada~]

I just got into this anime and I must say it is great. I watch all of part one yesterday and the three new episodes of part two. I love it.

[emoloz]

Just watched it:

Hmmm sex change Geass Isn't that going a bit far? And wouldn't he be blind just like Nunnally it can't fully change what a person is as well as changing there sex. He could be just anyone.

Anyways Geass to me seem to control parts of the brain which are specific to a function in which they eye amnipulates the function through nerves in the eye which eventually connect through long patterns to the brain. To me Rollo's Geass seems to be one to stop brain function thus making the victim unaware to the goings on around them. This is only a temporary measure and will be the part of the brain which seems to measure awareness of things that go on around them. Thus is why it appears to a person to stop time.

I don't think death note and Code Geass are that simular because like Babbo said Light acted in more of a justice to rid the offenders of the world where as Le Louch is trying to rid and oppressive party who's main goal is the invade the surrounding world around them, not just Japan but from what we saw Europe as well.

Lights was more to do with Socialisation because he was brought up in an environment where criminals were seen as wrong as he dad was in the police system. There is no revenge in it, he just got wrapped up in his socialisation when given a tool which can act an as an object to trigger of a persons mindset.

Le Louch its more of life crises and what he has had destroyed and changed around him to seek revenge. He uses the Japanese as a way to help him do that even though he believes in their policy of freedom but he does want to overthrow Britannia to get revenge on what it has done to him and the others around him. The others around him part is only a marginal part though.

Not saying any of this is true but this is what I see from it and what I have pieced together just to give another view point.

[vaizado]

Meh babbo can sorta see why people make the connection to deathnote on a certain level, but it still annoys babbo. They're different at important thematic levels.

I think people make a connection between them because of more simpler reasons. That is, they're both trying to change something with a supernatural power they obtained, and use those around them to get what they want, even if it means performing actions that might be considered "evil" in some way.

[hemagoku]

It's definitely the tone of the shows combined with that makes people make that connection. But again, the comparison fails at points that are essential to each show's respective plots.

[Soranushi]

Off topic here but has anyone seen the new trailer for the dub? here it is if you didn't see it;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q75jRUwExnU
They sound bit off to me but their okay.

[Spartan27]

Well the first dub ep. is up on Adult Swim.com for those that want to check it out, overall I'm not expecting anything like the recent Death Note or Black Lagoon dubs, probably something more like the Bleach Dub, decent but not that great.

[Rock]

^I agree the dub for Code Geass is just decent, I dont't like C.C voice at all.

As for CGR2 it really good so far,especially the last episode. I can't wait for this weeks episode

[CeriaHalcyon]

Sorry, i can't bring myself to watch the dubs, after the way we americans murdered bleach and naruto i just can't do it...I prefer to watch anime as it was intended to be seen.

if you can't tell from my sig, i do love Geass immensely, i cannot wait for the day that Zero finally kills suzaku, but then again, who would be the annoying obstacle... :D

[Babbo]

They nailed the earl in the dub (kinda surprised babbo) On the other hand Johny young bosch is a totally mediocre lelouch. No sense of drama at all that man (he tries though babbo will give him that), he turned lelouch into a teenage gang leader; not a genius leading a rebellion. Kallen's VA lacks some of the pure emotion that her seiyuu pulls off. The lesser characters aren't half bad ibo though.

[Rock]

^Yes Lelouch VA is not good at all,doesn't fit his character at all kinda make him a weak compare to the sub version. Although suzaku VA I found was ok....

[speedphantom]

This week's Kodo Giasu holy crap!:crazy

You gotta love how Lelouch manipulates and plays everyone:XDhis actor is flawless!
That bastard Suzaku is back:yell! People are calling him the new L since he's like L and Lelouch is like Light:p.

Can't believe he brought in Nunally to expose Lelouch. That's the ultimate attack on Lelouch since Nunally is his weakness. He'll have to expose himself to Suzaku that he has regained his memories or let something bad happen to his sister.

He'll find someway though!:yell! BANZAI ZERO!

[Spartan27]

It's kind of funny but sometimes I think I'm the only one who kind of likes Suzaku, I mean I don't agree with all he is about, but then I don't like some elements of Lelouch. It's sort of funny, I mean I get what people say about Suzaku, but to me he's a nice little foil to Lelouch, he's a lot of what Lulu isn't, but it also seems that Suzaku has grown a little as a character since the time that we last saw him, he certainly pulled off a nice little plan on Lulouch with this last episode.

As for the dub, I was quite surprised when I heard it, because they actually got the Earl right, which I thought was going to be a disaster, overall again it was decent but not great. I think it does fine in terms of being a mainstream dub. JYB does a on par job doing Lelouch, he's okay at times and at other times it just doesn't seem like he was made for this role, he probably would have done a pretty good job doing Suzaku, but I think they needed to go with someone new for the role, someone that we haven't heard recently, JYB has enough roles, he didn't need this one. There were bright spots and there were dim spots. As I said earlier it's like Bleach, there were some roles that were done very well, and there were others that just don't fit.

For dubs in general I still don't understand this belief that the only way to watch anime is in Japanese, I mean it isn't always how it is intended to be viewed, I mean there are animes where the characters are supposed to be talking in English not Japanese, so it isn't always true that Japanese is the way it was intended to be heard.

@Spartan - I do like how he's a worthy adversary, but you always hate your adversary:XD. The Nunnally move is quite genius. Good to see him faced with a good challenge once in a while rather than him running the show like he wants:p.

@hema - Nice sig! I love how the lower half of his body just melts into the cg shiny stuff ^_^

I made my own new Code Geass avatar lookie lookie!:yay

[Spartan27]

I think I sort of like Suzaku, just because he hated by everyone. I just think that while Lelouch is a great character he tends to be overrated just a little, especially in regards to how everyone treats him as the savior to Japan while regarding Suzaku as this scumbag traitor.

To me Lelouch doesn't really care about Japan, he sees it as a means to get his revenge on the emperor, he doesn't have a love for the country, at least Suzaku is really committed to gaining back Japan, even if his way is a bit ludicrous and short sighted.

Lelouch to me is a great character that has been lifted to a standard that is a bit too high, while Suzaku while not being a very good character is reduced to being hated for the wrong reasons.

[speedphantom]

Lelouch would care a bit about Japan. You can't just go and go on a giant crazy crusade just to get revenge on his dad. He could just keep Geassing people higher and higher up if he wanted to get back at his dad, well if he wanted to kill him.

Suzaku, well, he did kill his dad as a little kid ><. I'm still yet to see how Suzaku wants to restore Japan with his method of going deeper and deeper when brown nosing Britannia.:noes

[vaizado]

New episode is out. It was pretty awesome. ><

[Spartan27]

That was pretty awesome episode, certainly the most exciting, and it doesn't hurt when you get upgrades and revealing of powers in terms of the mechs. Good ending as well.

Lelouch got baled out at the start, I was sort of hoping he wouldn't have to rely on Rollo, but eh, I guess it works. Had to hurt him deeply at the end with Nunnally getting saved by Suzaku, I guess that makes the scorecard now Suzaku 2 Lelouch 0 for now, I bet though he'll get a victory pretty soon.

[Fortunate]

I've only seen the first two episodes. Everything seems to be progressing much more quickly than I expected...

My friend says it's just a Gundam Rip-off. :lmao

[ch1mera]

Oh man episode 6 was great! I believe anything can happen in CG from now on…


Emperor -> V.V -> nii-san
Marienne -> C.C -> nee-san (?) just don’t forget to credit me when it happens :fu

Rolo + upgraded Gurren = now that would be overpowered lol

Anyway the fact that we don’t see Rolo pwning in Vincent is that he would be to overpowered in that fight, just a quick check on previous episodes when he kills one of Villeta’s agents, Lulu scene, and finally Suzaku geassing. He doesnt have to look directly into others eyes…

[PB|Ichigo]

Pretty nice Eps. that's for sure. I'm really corious about how Nunnally will react, if she finds out about Zero's true identity, I don't think there'll be a Happy End after all, I just don't see that happening, but hey, we're at Eps six, so there is alot to come yet. I'm really lookin forward to the next Eps., there's a tremendous high potential, I just hope that Clamp won't disappoint us.

Clamp isnt doing this, it's Sunrise. :P

The only thing I hated about the new episode was the overpowerness of a certain mech. But I guess it was a matter of time with the introduction of the new also overpowered Knightmares.

[Kojy]

I agree with that, but it was supposed to happen like you said, Gurren Nishiki was already underpowered against Knight of Rounds KM's, but then it probably got a bit OP after that change, Lloyd freaking out was funny. .p

[vaizado]

lol Yeah Lloyd ftw. My favorite character. I usually end up liking secondary characters more than the main cast. ><

[speedphantom]

Lloyd is pretty cool:pI love how he was so casual with the General:XDand his squeally scary voice:lmaohis reaction when the Lancelot was attacked by Kallen was priceless:facepalm

It's nice that the Guren finally gets an upgrade since Kallen is the only one to fight against all the Knights of the Round. The Black Knights don't have any decent offensive weapon apart from the Guren. The other knightmares are pretty weak.

Lelouch started the whole Kuro no Kishidan for Nunnally's sake and if Nunnally is restoring the special administrative region of Japan then that makes the Black Knights appear very much in the wrong. Lelouch is going to have some sort of collossal mental breakdown before coming back stronger than ever:pthats my prediction.

[Undying]

Anyone watched episode 7, yet? It's quite ze aweshum!

Lulu finally realizing that his fight is to save the world (i.e., get rid of Britannia because they killed yo momma, you idiot) and he makes his return with some awesome last-moment escape.

I say awesome not because it was as spectacular as it was convenient (ooh yay, just the place to have explosive gases in the water! And no one in the Great Army of Britannia bothered to have accurate intel of their location!), but it was still fun seeing that moron Suzaku go all O.O. :nuts

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the guy as I used to (ok, he's STILL a hypocritical idiot, but what the hell, I can digg it), but it was fun seeing him outmaneuvered by Lelouch. As should be, actually, because Lelouch is supposed to be the brain between the two of them.

Nunali or however you spell her name is a gullible idiot.

[speedphantom]

Mwahaha episode 7I really thought Lulu was going to mope around and let his handy work go to waste. Can't believe he was gonna use drugs and wanted "comfort" from Kallen!!:crazynot a good move ><!

That's just something that you accept about Code Geass:pLelouch just knows these things:XDseeing Suzaku all:devestatedwas funny:p

I wonder how the Black Knights are going to work with the Japanese administrative region.

[Undying]

IMO,

Lelouch plans to use Nunalee against the Emperor. If he can create a state army from the Japanese, the Black Knights will become a force to be reckoned with. But that's just IMO.

Oh, and Lelouch should totally pick his girl already, I'm anxious to see which of the three hotties he picks. C.C., Shirley, or Karen... tough choice, to be sure.

[ch1mera]

:mwhaha

There is a girl looks extremely like Cornelia in the episode. I’m semi-suspicious of this development, but I´ll reserve judgment until I see what they have next few episodes.
What’s more interesting is that Lulu has changed. It´s just my opinion, but he´s not fighting for only Nunnally anymore. I hope this’ll make a significant difference. Also, the episode referred to C.C.’s conversation with Marianne again. Think this is highly significant... I bet!

:mwhaha Damn, Lelouch with simply a map and a phone, beats Suzaku with a knightmare, radar, battleships, and weaponry. What a LOL!!

And Kallen is a PWNAGE!!! good moments between her and lelouch rofl

[Spartan27]

EP 7 thoughts.

I have to say even though I enjoyed the last bit with Zero coming back and all, that plan was such complete hax. I mean it's great that Lelouch was able to get back at Suzaku, but I mean what a coincedence that some factory like thing happens to be right under the enemy fleet, that was complete and utter luck, it was a bit much, even for CG, but I guess it had to happen.

Otherwise other than the idea that anybody would want to think about the racist crazy nerd in a good way, I liked the ep, but then again I always seem to like CG, I just don't always love it.

Genius! They'd have their United States of Japan except it'd be a legitimate power! Thin in of the wedge and get more and more power:uhuh! Nice theory:yay:mwhaha

I guess that he's not fighting for just Nunnally anymore since Nunnally is happy in her position as govenor-general so it must be just against to get back at Britannia. Who's Marianne? It's not the little girl from China is it?EP 7 thoughts.

What racist crazy nerd are you referring to?

[ch1mera]

Speed

Marianne Vi Britannia was Lelouch´s and Nunnaly mother :nuts

Well you're right, most of the plans are hax, but this one for some reason stood out even more, I think it's the way that Lelouch seemingly came out of nowhere and saved the day without any sort of plan that was made ahead of time, it's onething when he's able to pull a rabbit out of a hat when given the time to strategize, this time it was just plain dumb luck.

as for the racist crazy nerd, that would be the table humping Nina

[speedphantom]

Speed

Marianne Vi Britannia was Lelouch´s and Nunnaly mother :nutsAh that's right! Thanks for reminding me ^^; I was thinking it was rather odd that C.C. knew about Marianne since I always assumed she just appeared when she first gave Geass to Lelouch.speedphantom

Oh Nina:yell! She........:yell! Can't stand the characters who just lose their head and stuff. Table humping:errdon't remember that ^^;

[Spartan27]

speed -

You don't remember Nina bringing herself off with a table and either the image or mental image (I can't remember which) of Euphie!!! That is like the most extreme thing they've done yet. If there is a character that deserves the amount of hate Suzaku gets, it's Nina, God I hate that racist bitch

[speedphantom]

Sorry, my fault this thread died ><! Funny how Nina gets all promoted to become a top techie for the Britiannians:p.

The latest episodes have been really insane. The formation of the United Federation of States or something ><. The whole weird heavenly floating platform thing and the weird gears room was left really explained just like the beginning of the series. The quality of Code Geass has dropped a lot, it's rather disappointing.

C.C. being "reborn" is sorta cute but I'll miss her old personality of being cunning and snappy.

[vaizado]

How so? It's gotten real exciting with the final war about to begin.

[emoloz]

I can see what Speed means it's good but for some reason its lacking something the other season had and some of the things that have happened have been a bit why on earth did that happen. The chinese federation episodes really anoyed me they seemed so pointless rven though they kinda weren't. I guess its because we know who Zero is these days and so do they its getting a bit dry sometimes. I do like it though don't get me wrong and some bits have been and I have 3 episodes to watch so I might change my mind XD

The knights of the rounds are genious and how zero gets himself out of spots which deem to be impossible to escape from have been great ^^

[CeriaHalcyon]

How so? It's gotten real exciting with the final war about to begin.

Exactly, geass has gotten so exciting now, i can't even guess what will happen next.

btw, there's an FC for geass, in case you guys didnt know.

[vaizado]

Oh my damn. Has anyone seen episode 18 yet?

I cant believe what happened at the end.

[bradc]

Oh my damn. Has anyone seen episode 18 yet?

I cant believe what happened at the end.

I just watched it. Knowing CLAMP most of their stories are like that; their stories are usually clusterfucked beyond help... :facepalm ...along with the Creator for Code Geass and Sunrise. I actually like it more than Gundam Series though... Is pretty realistic and believable...

[PB|Ichigo]

Pretty sad episode, never thought that THIS would happen, but imo it's Lelouch's own fault, for putting the Geass on a certain someone...

[Skorpz]

if he didn't geass him he would have died from all those missiles but nunnally wouldn't be killed

[bradc]

Suzaku fired the FLIEA when Nina went batshit crazy again and told him that it could save his life. Lelouch only used the geass Suzaku once, and Suzaku vowed not to fire it when his life was on the line fighting with Lelouch head on. Rolo killed Shirely previously and he said to get rid of Nunnally; she was never saved, neither was the maid Sayoko.

The question is who was the culprit of the betrayal...

[Spartan27]

Well I have to say I'm sort of happy with this outcome, I've never been as much of a fan of Lelouch as everyone else, and I'm happy that his actions are coming back to bite him in the ass, I feel a bit sorry for Sayako, Nunnally, and Suzaku, since this wasn't their fault, and they are the ones that are suffering the consequences.

[CeriaHalcyon]

I wish that someone would shut nina's mouth! give her a room full of euphie pron and i think that'll do the trick :heehee

The episode was a stellar one that left me shaking in disbelief, i am saddened by the loss of Nunnally, Sayoko and Guilford,

[halfnhalf]

Alright Im confused I just watch episode 22 of Code Geass is this of the first season...because if it is Im afraid to see the ending....its already really sad. Please help me!

[Skorpz]

this thread is for the second season of code geass so you would have no worries about it ending since is another season to watch.

[halfnhalf]

nice! cool :cool: cool
