is epic fail i know you like lelouch and all (your name kinda makes it clear) but how the hell is he in ANY way like kira ? kira was (at least during SEED) an insecure but well meaning lawfully good character lelouch is (during season 1) a self centered egotistical anti-hero well intentionaed extremist and in R2 he shifts between his season 1 personallity (at first) to chaotic good in the mid part (with the cult massacre being a relapes into his old ways) and finally ends up as a full on villain (albit a complex Necessarily Evil kind) in the final arc lelouch is infinitly more complex then kira as a character, so that doesnt match up what so ever ironiclly suzaku is the one who usually gets compared with kira

Suzaku starts off as a naive idealist whose idealism is crushed and is completely broken by the end a shell of his former self forced to wear the mask of Zero for the rest of his life, knowing that he killed his best friend. Athrun while a reunited best friend isn't an idealist until Lacus talks him into joining Orb. By the end of the series his happy, and on the right side. Nunnaly does have some similarities to Lacus but thats mainly in the Yamato Nadeshiko stereotype department. Kallen and Cagalli do have some similiarities but thats also because their both stereotypical hotblooded females. Area 11 and Orb really only have being islands as similarities. The plots are also completely different Personally not counting GSD I prefer Gundam Seed which has a weak begenning but gets really good once it stops ripping off MSG and just tells its own plot, since its pretty original by having both sides be evil until introducing the actual heroic side of Orb and the Three Ship alliance at which point members of both the Earth Federation and ZAFT defect. |

well first off, i felt the few episodes leading UP to the end, weren't very "code geass" like, but who am i to say. Around episode 19-23 ish? i forgot which ones specifically, everything was getting a bit out of control imo. However, i felt the ending pulled itself back a bit, HOWEVER, i couldn't help but notice the similarities between this and Gundam 00's idea of intervention, the gundam organization stepping in to turn hatred towards them and unite the world through fighting against a common enemy. It's not gonna work, lelouche's sacrifice imo won't sum up to a lot in the end, and that's my only fear. He's such a great character, way too intelligent to sacrifice his life for a superficial peace that might shatter anytime soon. And as a result, that's why i seriously hope he didn't really die, like he got the code somehow or something so that when the time does come, and he really is needed, he can step back in. Though it might be a bit cheesy, this ending was a bit too idealistic. The world isn't gonna be in peace for long. |

@miroku: I had similar thoughts watching G00 recently : Celestial Being has some striking similarities with the Damocles system - from Nunnaly's perspective - although, one is more interactive and is not actually linked to any earth nation, just stopping the conflicts, while the other is supposed to be an instrument in the hands of the ruler of the world...
the theme of unity against a common enemy is more general and commonly used, but I can see where you are coming from ... - the Sunrise's coffee machine, that's where things came to their final shape.. *dooon* |

and good point about schneizel, but either way, i don't think it'll turn out well, and if they ever have a 3rd season, perhaps that's one of the things they'll end up focusing on? I doubt they'll make a 3rd season anytime soon, but it would be cool for them to be secretly working on the production for a 3rd season and just not telling anyone about it :X. Only other fear of a 3rd season though...as much as i want one, to what extent will it ruin the magnitude of the ending of S2? Anyone see where i'm going with this? I feel like it might take away from the whole epicness of lelouche killing himself, even if it ends up not being everlasting peace... p.s. - didn't they say they were originally setting code geass in like a meiji era thing? or some samurai period? I feel like they would've been so limited as to the things they could've done, i dont see why they would do that... |

What your talking about is a manga spinoff which while I haven't read it sounds awful. |

yes, in fact I said Nunnally's idea of the Damocles system... Lelouch's plan is more personalized and based on the annichilation of him as the supreme evil ruler as a cathartic act for the whole planet, while Nunnaly's plan with the Damocles - an oppressive military force of uncomparable technologicall advancement that would crush any rebellion at its start from above, drawing to itself all the hatred in the world and stopping internal conflicts that way, is more similar to CB. |

It's a manga called "Code Geass: Tales of an Alternate Shogunate " the plot is apparently that Lelouch has control of both the Shishengumi, and secretly the Black Revolutionaries (the Ishin Shishi) as Rei as he tries to remove the influences of Britannia.
Basically it sounds incredibly racist, and just plain dumbs down the actual Bakumatsu which was insanely interesting, and other series have done a wonderful job on it. It's basically the least known of the various spinoffs and definatly sounds the worst. Knightmare of Nunnaly sounds pretty good, as does Counterattack of Suzaku. |

Please note that this is straight out looking on the internet by the Code Geass wikia and wikipedia. I have never read any of the code geass manga so I don't know much about them. Theres the straight manga adaptation that is Code Geass minus the Knightmare Frames There's Suzaku of the Counterattack which is Suzaku as a masked superhero with powered armor that's operated by the goverment. There's Knightmare of Nunnaly which is where Lelouch has gone missing so Nunnaly is given geass by someone named Nemo. Lelouch does have a role though as his geass is the ability to create powered armor apparently he also has a twin brother. Alternate tales of the Bakumatsu is apparently the only one not liscensed which makes me think that its not very good. |

Uncountable rationality
|
Zero still has his original geass power and Nunnaly has the ability to create the powered armor. Nunnaly is the main character and Lelouch has been shunted to the side. She, again, doesn't know that Zero is Lelouch, or at least it is implied. It is basically an alternate universe telling of the original Code Geass series.

Well except Maub'dib was the heir of the atreiedes, and the story was far more complex and interesting. I mean where do the bene gessirit fall into your analogy, the thalaxeu, the freman. I'm telling you these anime studios should go do a Dune adaptation it would pretty amazing, plus they would have enough material from the younger herbert to milk that cow for a near eternity.
