Gee...you're quick. :)

Sundays and Mondays are usually the worst days of the week for me to watch anime. My computer is on the living desk and my dad is off work interupting my train of thought.

Also Code Geass has so many subtle plot details running through it that it's hard for me to just watch it raw unless if in the very least Random Curiousity already has his description of the episode written out.

But even with that being said, I watched three or four episodes untranslated because I HAD to see how the characters got out of their cliffhanger moments from the previous episode. 8O

The first season was just too addicting. :bwall

Sooo... I watched the raws and my head hurts! Image









I'm dissapointed with the chess game and the way Lelouch defeats the britainians... otherwise i'm confused.

I'm not happy how they started the story since they left us hanging last season.
Last season ends with Lulu and Suzaku pointing guns at eachother and then the screen goes black and we hear a gunshot. Nunally is seen shocked and then it ends. Now we are one year later with Lulu who seemingly doesn't remember much and Suzaku who now seems like a bitter soul. Not his adorable self from last season. Of course I realize why, but still. Then Lulu's little brother who's in the picture without explanation and Nunally out of the picture for now. 8O Then finally C.C. brings Lulu back with her kiss. Maybe it's just me, but Lulu didn't seem to have his Geass when he was carefree. Then when his memories returned his Geass returned probably permanently. I bummed that Cornelia is in hiding since she was such a large part of last season. She was an awesome character. Then there's Viletta whose memories returned late last season and is now the gym teacher???? I wonder if they'll go back to the story of her and Ougi because they were so sweet together.

I'm just guessing.... since, I still can't find any subs...
Cornelia is Alive!!!! I didn't know that! Thanks GK! I didn't want both sisters to die! I mean Cornelia did love Lelouch's mother! Marianna was her Role Model... Cornelia's a good person. I want Euphemia to come back from the dead... Maybe the Emperor could do do that? But maybe I'm asking too much. Maybe VV is the Emperor's Cc?

Maybe they made it so that Lelouch could turn his geass on and off again? That's the only way I can think of to make it so that he can go back to school. Lelouch would look really stupid with a patch on an eye...

Villeta doesn't want to be a gym teacher! Lol.... I have high expectations, so I'll be surprised how they explain her situation!

Episode One:
This was a pretty good first episode. It went about how I expected it to go considering I had read Random Curiousity's blog about what story elements would be in the first episode. The Pizza Hut sponsoring returns. Kallen looked good in that bunny girl outfit. Kind of cool how they linked up the beginning of the second series to the beginning of the first season. The ending gave me some of the same feelings that the Star Wars Emperor's did. It had a dark atmosphere to it.

Yeah it was kind of weird to have Lelouch's brother showing up out of nowhere, but I was already warned of him so I don't feel quite so bad about it now. I think Viletta is keeping an eye on Lelouch to see what he's up to. I thought the first episode was going to be more confusing than it turned out. They cleared up some of the confusion at the ending.

Some confusion still remains however. Is Kallen's memory completely intact? And more importantly....is that girl still writing on the school wall? :^^:

ROFL Keropi....
I totally spaced the school wall. :rollin
The Pizza Hut thing always cracks me up. I died laughing the minute I saw it again. I agree that there wasn't too many surprises after reading various spoiler blogs, but I still feel that there are quite a few holes. What I'm wondering is.....
Is the new little brother part of someone else's Geass that creates a new reality for you in hopes that you forget your previous life? Maybe I'm digging too deep into this, but considering Lulu had forgotten about what had happened and all had seemingly returned to normal then maybe that was because of Suzaku or the Empreror's Geass. Not only does it make you forget, but you see or manage to create something new??? /hmm
Ok.....now my head hurts. :hurt:

I just watched the subs...
If this was a trap to kill CC..... Then who ever made this trap should know that CC doesn't die from bullets... lol... You need "Kryptonite"
Oh well... can't wait till episode 2!
Lulu should just geass the britainian soldiers into following all his orders. That's what I would do... Telling to kill themselves is a waste of manpower.

Yeah I have a feeling that something weird might come from Lelouch's brother. It feels like a future plot twist is coming unless if what the anime producers did was completely ignore his brother in the first season.

But you'd figure that since Lelouch's is always thinking about his past and about his mother/Nunnally that somewhere at some point....his thoughts would have drifted towards his brother if he had one. Maybe that guy is not really his brother. Maybe everyone only THINKS that he's Lelouch's brother. ^_^

Roboflonne:
I don't know if Lelouch could order something like that. It kind of sounds like the old "wishing for more wishes". I think he has to be more specific. That would be a plot hole if he was actually able to do that.
