Spoiler for TTGL ending:

going through all this crap and surviving it all, gaining everything, only to lose it all once more and be left wandering around the world as a nobody (and in lelouch's case, being a nobody again.. and no Boota either)

Yeah, the epilogue was such a downer for me.

Spoiler for Gurren Lagann end:

I actually could come to terms with Nia's death. It was sad, but in a way it was very real. I felt had they ended it with him just walking off in the distance after she died it would have been ok, because it would still leave things open. He could still have a shot at finding happiness one day. But that epilogue....I don't like such a closed book, almost hopeless lonely end. Especially for someone like Simon. He deserved better.

well to be honest Tanaguchi characters go through a lot but in the end they usually have pretty good ends though the road to that end was a bitch.

[Ryu-kun]

They are mostly long and tough to get by which I can see how reality is dealt to a extreme point nevertheless they are quite enjoying and I pray CG goes the same way.

You're right about Taniguchi's direction with his anime heroes and heroines. They'll be alright, not like Tomino's heroes and heroines.

He already did, remember the band-aid scene?

Well to be fair Tomino has changed from his "Kill Em All" phase he made bluntly with Ideon To be Invoked, now he prefers dancing robots. Taniguichi does a pretty good job with his heroes and heroines more so with heroines this time around, hopefully the majority of these shippers has actually seen some of his works and come to a realization that most of those relationships don't make it in the end, but who knows? Maybe Code Geass will be different.

Soo...

How does C.C. explain to Lelouch that she knew about his mom's death the WHOLE TIME. Knowing, this was one of his main motvations in the beginning. What was the reason? For his own protection? Is he that understanding? A month has passed, so I dunno if we will get a full jist about he feels about it.

[Magin]

There's only one statement I can truly, honestly make about Code Geass- see my signature for it

as someone once stated, this is the most original series I've seen in years... and while several elements have pissed me off and make me hate this show to a degree *coughEuphemiaandShirley'sdeathscough*, I'll watch till the very end... only then will I be able to move on from whatever hells this brings

(In the Ashford Clubhouse, after a bit of small talk)

Kallen: Lelouch, I've been meaning to ask you something.
Lelouch: Yes?
Kallen: What am I to you? Please tell me the truth.
Lelouch: Er.....


(At this momoent Rivalz comes in)

Rivalz (talking to someone): Really, I still can't believe Lelouch is.... What?!?!?! Kallen and Lelouch are here?!?!?!

Kallen (Getting angry): Rivalz, would you mind going outside?


(Milly comes in)

Milly: Oh sorry Kallen, I'll just take this guy outside ^_^



(Rivalz and Milly goes out)

Kallen: Now, Lelouch, what's your answer?
Lelouch: Kallen, to me you are.....


(Lelouch's cell phone rings)


Lelouch: WHAT IS IT?!?!?!
Suzaku: Lelouch, Schneizel has appeared over Mt. Fuji, with the Knight of Rounds.
Lelouch: All right, I'll get to the mothership.


(Lelouch starts going out)

Kallen: Lelouch!
Lelouch: To answer your question..... Kallen, to me you are someone special. (Goes on a bit)
Kallen: Hurry up and go, then come back. You promised that you'll make me smile!





A complete fantasy, yes, but still, one can hope

For one, I hope you are right, too.

Well, relationships formed in pretty much all the Taniguchi shows where that had even been brought up as a possibility in the first place (Ryvius and PlanetES, the later of which Okouchi worked on as well) And Geass has certainly brought up the possibilty of relationships on numerous occasions.

Nunnally always took priority. The war would have continued regardless of what decision Lelouch came to on the Marianne issue. So of course Lelouch is understanding, the truth didn't change his opinions at all.

And the reason would probably be that she didn't want to make Lelouch any more miserable than he already was by telling him his mom was just like his father: a jerk who abandoned him and more importantly Nunnally.

Shirley's death was oneof the most emotional scenes i have ever seen in anime. To me, it's one of the CG's strongest offer.

"Original" is not a choice of word to describe Code Geass, FABULOUS is much better

Agreed...Its got it quirks, Its aparent fast pacing, sometimes can go a bit far on the "What a twist". Still not as bad as M.N. Shamlessa. Its been fairly unpredictable, and I like it like that.

[Ryu-kun]

The way Shirley and Rolo ended were emotional and has attained a great amount of my respect I mean I used to hate Rolo and just from what he did proves him not bad after all just a Nii-san complex he has....

Then it would be completely pointless if he built it all up just to die. Amnesia perhaps, but death is not suitable for him after all Lelouch went through and then end up with nothing accomplished.

Yes I kind of hope for an ending where in one last act of loyalty Jeremiah uses his Geass canceller to free her from the forced blindness. Then she gets to open her eyes and see her brother for the first time in 8 years. That would be a very satisfactory ending for Lelouch.

You obviously haven't watch Grave Of the Fireflies then

That was not emotional, to me at least

[Magin]

Tanaguichi lived up to his word- although I'm glad the f***er's gone, I still felt kinda sad when he died...

... for all of five minutes before finally being relieved that Shirley's murderer met his end (I'm never going to get over her death...)
