Code Geass R2 - Episode 1 Discussion / Poll

[Chase]

Finally got around to watching this, so many new animes debuting and stuff that im currently watching, overall i give it a 9. Not much from me about the episode other than it was great for a first episode.

Well, Lelouch's back, and with a vengeance, that ALONE, is kick-ass enough..

Although I do feel that the OP doesn't do justice to the sheer amount of action in the series, that's something for another time..

To be fair, Suzaku draws more hatred than any other character in the show not only on this board, but also on most of the Code Geass threads in 2ch, as well as anime blog reviews.

I think you're in the minority.

I was so confused watching ep 1. Does Lelouch have a brother?? and what happens to Nunnally? Who inserted false memory into his mind? I was expecting for some resolution to the cliffhanger, but instead, there's another cliffhanger!

and now Shirley's calling Lelouch Lulu... when are they back on the same page?

gonna have to keep watching to find out!

and a year's passed, and Zero was proclaimed dead. Plenty of time for Shirley to stop worrying about all that Lelouch=Zero stuff (though she still seems kind hesitant about him >_>)

herher, I will gladly join the minority.
Suzaku create high amount of lulz and has extremely powerful plot armor. I place him pretty high up on my favorite list along with Orange, C.C., Leloche, Kaguya and Tenko.

Because she's a loli?

Rollo: Uhh brother? You sure this is cool?
Brits: We're awesome.
Lelouch: Yeah this is totally cool, except there's this thing bothering me really hard for a year and I don't know why.

Meanwhile...
Order: I hate Zero! No, I don't hate Zero! He's cool! But he's dead!

Kallen: Sup?
Lelouch: lol wut?
Order: Why hello thar!
Rollo/Lelouch: OH NOES!
C.C.: Dude, stop running. You're supposed to make out with me after I make it out of the ocean.
Lelouch: lol wut?
C.C.: I just got shot so I'll kiss you.
Brits: Okay so I've been peeping into your life every day with mah custom-made notebook with your name on it. Die now plz.
Lelouch: OH, I remember everything now! Like how I can use my GARRRR on you!
Brits: OMGWTFYESYOURHIGHNESS!

Meanwhile...
Suzaku: RAWR.

I mean...as beautiful as this episode looks, it feels really unfulfilling and I needed to vent that.

lol.

funny. i can see what your going for, but it doesn't stop the episode being enjoyable for me.

i think it made me like it more.

i guess if you had forgotten what happened in the first series (seriously i only could remember up to ep23, the friendship phone call)

so it was a great thing for me. made me dig up the last episodes to refresh my mind. (Noooooo!! C.C! FISHES! )

nice point there,

The question that needs to be answered, does Suzuku knows that lulu is still alive? if he does, then he has certainly grown up, and has put a side his vengeance.

But if he doesn't, when he finds out, will he take the path of revenge again?

after all revenge is the ultimate curse, it won't end until it is fulfilled, it consumes you until it is all you live for.
Lulu has it right, he's not living just for revenge.

I just have to say he's a real anti-hero, i could almost say he's a villain , a necessary evil, i don't particularly see the Britannica any less. Although i see that they are making it much more ruthless, but that is to be expected for a country pushed back into "educational" phase.

i was kinda hoping they would pick up where they left off, oh well guess ill just wait till they go threw what happened after the cliffhanger in season one in a flashback (hopefully next episode). only the last 5 minutes of the episode mattered and i was hoping for more of an exciting episode after such a long wait. It was kind of a let down.

Well, he does know that Zero is alive, so if we presume that he haven't forgotten that lulu=Zero.

I like her design. Thats how it usually go for most anime. I hate Kallen design, not her character so he wasn't in my favorite list. hoho, and its easier to design a like-able loli, although I don't really like Nannaly's design much.

[nines]

one of the biggest questions in all of this where is Orange-kun o.o

Well, don't we see him in the Opening? Walking in a desert or something, or is that someone else ?

[tim91]

orange-kun is the one walking in the desert in the op

Unknown, though it is possible and looks like him.

It should be...

Lelouch: My name...... Is Zero. And i Remember everything.

and then Zero loads up twin gun instead of single gun and razor blade..... Lelouch become new Hayden Tenno from Dark Sector! or should i say male version of Alice (RE movie)?
