Well, I thought it was incredibly slow at certain parts as well during R1, but amazingly it can really pick up and flow extremely well if we go by last Season so I'm not too worried.

I practically "eat" Code Geas in this weekend and see ths first season and the five chapters of S2... I really like this series and I expect keep coming to this threads every week... As general comments at this moment... I'm the only one that hates Susaku with all his hearth and that support with all the KarenxLelouch? T_T... I have the bad omen that Karen will die in this season... That will broke my heart T_T...

I just had a quick question for you. I can kind of see it myself, but a lot of people including my friends have been talking about the similarities betwee Lelouch and Light. At the end of this episode he's basically been put in a position where he's going to have to sacrifice something, just like when light Spoiler for Death Note Manga:

I also thought Infinite Ryvius was pretty good -if not for everyone- and showed that a large cast could be treated decently enough. I have yet to see anything from Planetes, though I hope to do so soon. Code Geass...is still in progress, but I've been greatly entertained so far, some details aside. Quote:
If that's not the case, or if the staff is unable to finish the story or simply decides to extend it as the show nears its end, or if a sequel opportunity surfaces in a couple of years, then your point definitely stands. Sales are very important and do matter (although they are also relative...Gundam is a much more sales-friendly brand, to say the least, even if the individual series may vary, and will be a safer bet for Bandai / Sunrise in the long run), but they aren't always everything and we don't know a lot of what goes on behind the scenes. You might be right today and wrong tomorrow, or vice versa. The show may actually bomb and be a financial disaster or simply less profitable than expected. Quote:

As for the endgame of this episode you Suzaku haters (which are a bit different from Suzaku dislikers like myself ;P)...You gotta give the dude credit...You may not like his ideals, but the godamn guy is clear on the fact he hates Zero and will do anything to stop him...Being pwned multiple times by Lulu's tactics, he's now playing the game by Lulu's rules...Ultimate manipulation, using those knight chess-pieces effectively...If Lulu wasn't so caught in his moment of surprise and shame with the phone-call, I think he'd respect the play (In-terms of the chess-match)...You can never forget, not only did he kill Euphie, but he stained her legacy as a crazy princess b!tch who killed men, women, and children mercilessly (AND PERSONALLY) after lulling them into a get together for peace (Nevermind the debatable aspect of who knows what)...Suzaku hasn't forgot about any of that $hit, and to his credit, in this specific play, while he means to beat and demoralize Zero, I even saw an olive-branch somewhere in that phone-play...That's why in the preview Lulu is all like "Don't pretend to be all-friendly".... If you are already committed to taking down Zero this is the play...It's crazy to think that at this moment he still should consider Lulu's side...But in a jaded way he still has somehow from what I could see...

It's not even about who's right or wrong, since obviously something like right doesn't even exist. But...I at least just can't forgive him for this one, no matter how deliciously evil he is. |

I don't think Lelouch can lie to Nunally and thus reveal that he regain his memories to Suzaku. Then, I think, Suzaku will say that as long as Zero didn't do anything, he will not expose him but will end his life presonally if he see him on battlefiled again. Proabably will end the conversation with something like; "Don't worry. If you die, I will take care Nunally for you. Afterall, we are friend, aren't we?". Proabably what cause Lelouch to be that angry in preview.

Also many people try to keep the Euphie thing under a blanket...Many are misjudging the totality of that weight on Suzaku's side I think... "But Lulu didn't mean it", will never be a sufficient rebuttal...The Nunally play isn't so much an eye for an eye as it is playing the game at Lulu's level...It's not like he's having her shoot children with a machine gun to internally hurt him...You see the extreme other side of that? Damn I'm starting to like defending Suzaku ...

And yes. Once again, there's no right. Everyone's at fault, but that's not the issue. Well, at least that shouldn't be the issue. >_> |

At least he is no longer lying to himself. Although, that just makes him that much more dislikeable. For those who thought Lulu was bad, Suzaku has no sense of real justice or gratitude. He only knows how to delude himself to make excuses for his many mistakes in life. Quote:
Is he really protecting Nunally? Lulu knows that as soon as the emperor knows that Lulu has returned to being Zero, Nunally will be in danger (ep. 3 recollection). Suzaku must know the same. He is not protecting anyone. He is willing to sacrifice her life, even if all she has ever done was be good and nice to him. Quote:
The end of this episode just shows that Suzaku has no redemption value left.

I think Suzaku originally was a guy who reflected his own preachings and claims, to a certain extent. However, I think we can all agree that when Euphie died by the hands of his supposed best friend, no less, all bets were off. The Suzaku we saw from the first part of season 1 and now are completely different. I know that at the end of the episode he claimed that he aspired to be Knight of One so that he could make Japan its own again, but it seems like he has a few new priorities in order.......
btw: why would suzaku let lelouch talk to nunally? Unless he truly believes that Lelouch's memory has come back....hmmm....Or maybe he trying to elicit a reaction out of him, o well, guess we'll have to wait for next week's episode (whenever that will come) |

- He believes he can get everything. Convince Lelouch to stop being Zero, get the emperor to spare him and his sister so they can live happily (and possibly incestuously, I'm not sure what the Britanian view is on that...) ever after, while he, Suzaku, reigns benevolently over Japan. - He thinks that, even if she cries over the death of Lelouch, and over being used to bring it about, in the long run it's better for her to live in a world without Zero. - He doesn't care about Nunally's happiness, 'cause he's acting for the greater good. That excuse's always good for everything. |

People keep talking about how Suzaku is a hypocrite and how his plan will never work.Now, when his plan has a chance to succeed and he show us that he had stopped being a hypocrite then you say that his methods are evil and he deserve to die!!
I find it too funny that people can overlook the fact that Lelouch had: Blew up the JLF ship just to get to Cornelia,killed two of his siblings ( intentionally and unintentionally) and ordered a massacre in the process( unintentionally of course) then he abandoned his men to look for his lil sister and later shamelessly told them that he did it to win the war.... But Suzaku on the other hand will never be forgiven because: he killed his father when he was 10, he sold out his "best friend" for vengeance and for a title that can help him get closer to his goal,finally he dare to use his brain to put "everybody favorite Zero/Lelouch" in a tough situation... What do people want from Suzaku,seriously? |
