I wonder if he still cares about people in his own way, though. He seemed fond enough of his siblings, although he probably would have killed them without much hesistation had he deemed it necessary. I always thought Schneizel was a rather... hm, yes, sad character. |

He may have cared somewhat for his royal sibblings, but he still showed no heistation in his determination to rid the world of them if that was "best for the world" - he "nuked" the capital knowing well that his brothers and sisters were there, he almost had Cornelia killed, he was fully willing to leave Nunnally to die, he prepared a coup against his own father - and of course he was willing to have Lelouch killed, though as they were "enemies" as such, that's to be expected <_<. All in all, while he may have cared to some extent for some, his feelings were never something that ruled him or his goals, unlike Lelouch and Charles...

It automatically reminded me of the "He was the man I feared and loved most"-line, even though Schneizel was clearly exaggerating there. Quote:
I bet Schneizel was a Jedi in another life. And I almost pity him, even though my sympathy mostly lies with Kanon in this matter. |

I think Schneizel made an effort to suppress what attachments he did have. For example, he notes he could FLEIA the black knights and Lelouch together at once, but decides not to because "it would be greedy." He also claims Lelouch's logic, which lead to ambition in people, was flawed because it lead to ambition and thus the "height of foolishness." In other words, Schneizel seemed to hold such things in disdain. This is not to say he was ordinary about his thought patterns, but he wasn't completely empty and was somewhat devoted to avoiding emotions and attachments.

Hm... in Stage 0.884 (Drama CD) Schneizel also told Clovis that "there are times when a ruler must be evil". And that "kindness is not a virtue - not for leaders".
So I agree. Schneizel's values are quite obvious. Hm. I just notice that Clovs' reaction really impressed me. o.o Oh my, there are so many characters in Code Geass I adore - and almost all of them ended up as tragic characters. *sighs* But back to Schneizel. I think Cornelia shared his values and admired him for the way he always acted by them. In Stage 0.884, she even states that emotions should not influence their actions when dealing with a conquered country. |

I guess I'll give my ratings for Code Geass. I consider season one a perfect 10 because it was very flawless IMO. I would give R2 a 7.5 or an 8 now that reflected on the whole season. These were some of my problems that I felt a little disappointed about...
-Suzaku and his connection with the geass. Throughout season 1, I always wanted to know how was he connected to C.C. I was disappointed that they dropped that storyline. I also wouldn't had mind him dying at the end to be with Euphie. -They wasted too much time at Ashford instead of exploring China first then the Eu and ultimately Britannia. Though this was more of the time slot fault. -Most of the KoR lack screen time and development -Marianne basically being a selfish bitch more or less and her return was too random and sudden. Not to mention V.V. reason for killing were a little anti-climatic. -Cornelia, Nunnally, and Guilford not staying dead. It would had been better if they were killed off especially Guilford. It was somewhat understandable with Nunnally and Cornelia, but Guilford was hit by the blast. -I would had preferred if Charles was the final villain or if had to be Schneizel he could had been the one who killed Marianne for whatever reason and was the true demon king. It was being built up as one of those two being the world's enemy. -They should had kept Kallen as a mere ally in arms if they wasn't going anywhere with her development towards Lelouch. They could had did many things with her development and explored her background a little more. I just felt it was a waste of time for her to fall in love with Lelouch if he was just going to die without anything happening. -While minor I wouldn't had mind them telling us C.C's true name. Also why they showed Jupiter along with other girls with marks on their heads if they weren't going to explore it. -It was a very good ending, but I felt Lelouch was screwed over. He did many horrible things but making the world hates him was way too much. I guess I would had preferred if he killed his father or brother and they die together. This way he brought the world together to defeat them but died in the process. Zero would still be remembered as a symbol of hope and peace. I would give the over all series a good 8.5. It's still my favorite anime right now. Though Code Geass could had ended at many places if you think about it. |

I'll answer this.
* The Rounds were meant to be part-fodder. * Marianne's very lengthy time with Charles made her believe in his goals as fiercely as the man himself did. * Charles was practically destined to die from Turn 15, and Schneizel was unfortunate. It was better with Nunnally being Lelouch's final enemy because it was him conquering the very person that caused him to abandon so much, and, in turn, the person that he loved the most. * Uh...KaLulu was expanded on, to a degree. * C.C's name is irrelevant to anything. * Lelouch had no intention of 'dying together' with his father or Schneizel. He wanted to kill Charles and he made Schneizel a slave to Zero because Requiem called for it. And making the world hate him so there could be peace when he died was in the plan, too. |

Someone in elementary school should know that you don't just use the twelve "best " pilots as cannon fodder. It ruins the image you have of Britannia., Zeon: excellent fighters, brilliant leaders, a worthy opponent for Amuro Britannia: Cannon fodder, lead by morons, easily killed by the superior Black Knights |

Again...Monica and Dorothea and Luciano and Bismarck had the misfortune of being outclassed in both skill and tech. The others performed well. And AGAIN, Britannia is not Zeon. Just because CG was made by Sunrise doesn't mean that Sunrise has to be the same as it was twenty-thirty years ago.

You just can't tell the audience, "Wait they where really good they just had shitty weapons". Britannia was a joke, and easily the worse opponents I have ever seen in a rebellion storyline. Once again I figured that out when I was in elementary school. Then again the best part of Code Geass was the unintentional comedy |

They were good, but they were outclassed. Kallen tore apart Luciano because:
a) She was the better pilot. b) Her Frame was a whole generation above his, assuming that the Rounds Frames are the alluded-to eighth generation. The same was down to a tee with Bismarck, Gino, Monica and Dorothea, and there were other circumstances. Namely, the Old Emperor faction had very limited resources, and Monica and Dorothea's personal Frames were likely being dismantled in central Britannia, so they had to rely on what little they had- namely, Sutherlands, and Gloucesters. And the Albion far outclasses what are essentially modified fourth-gen Frames. |

i think satherlands are 5th gens
but the galahad was probably the strongest 8th gen there was and it could match the albion in terms of short distance speed (and was stronger due to its size) suzaku won easily becouse for some reason the writers deceided to give him a SEED mode for no reason and in doing so completely threw away the very nature of what a geass command does to someone (making then forget the events of what happened while under the effect of it) that part i was kinda pissed off about

then again the albion is just the lancelot with energy wings and a luminus shard lancher (unlike the SEITEN which was actually changed considerably) its weapon and shield system have been twiked up a bit but its basiclly the same thing as it was as the original lancelot (without even the hadron blaster of the conquesta) so its a modified 7th gen
