and the stuff that lasts a long time are usually the ones that are critically acclaimed, not really the ones that are fan-centric. i have a hard time seeing CG as something critics would rave about. sure it's a great series but it isn't really an artistic masterpiece nor a revolutionary work edit: 200th page |

Not forgotten. Just pissing people off with the pointless stalling. :P
As for Code Geass...eh. Season 1 was better. That alone will always stain the series' legacy. It's a great end, for sure, but you have to put up with a lot of mediocrity to get there (like so many other things...). |

Code Geass will probably remain fairly popular, but I strongly doubt it's going to reach timeless status like Gundam.
By the way, loved the list of the "greatest anime ever" there Charred Knight. Are all of them simultaneously the greatest anime ever or just one at a time? |

Soon Gundam 00 will be called the greatest anime of all times, only to be replace by the Fullmetal Alchemist remake. As for Code Geass, the first season was excellent, except for some bad spots here and their, for example I loved the couple of Villeta, and Ougi, especially about Ougi's struggling with his relationship with Villeta. My only complaint is that I felt Euphemia's death was handled badly, the entire thing started off bad, it got worse when the Britannians came off like evil idiots, and Lelouch came off like an ass. In the second season character development takes a back seat to CRAZY PLOT TWISTS ALL THE TIME! Which while action packed prevent any real character development. It creates great materials for blogs but its horrible for character development. I just found video for the entire storyline of Disgaea 3, and the character development is much better in that game. Can anyone tell me why Villeta and Ougi are back together after Villeta shot him? I have heard of slap slap kiss kiss, but slap gunshot wound to the stomach kiss sex? Can anyone tell me why Guilford is a good guy? Cornelia makes sense since her problem was her ego, and with that destroyed she was good, but Guilford? He comes off like an ass in season 1, than all of a sudden I am supposed to believe he likes Japanese now? I can understand why they did it, the average Britannian came off like an idiot racist in season 1, but couldn't we have had some character development to explain it. Maybe a conversation between Cornelia and Guilford that goes into their past, their relationship, and gives both much needed character development. It would have taken 5 minutes, instead we get the Kallen is kidnapped plotline that didn't accomplish anything but reveal that Britannian security is as crappy as the security in a gundam series. The fact that whether I like a season is based on if the main character lived (I hate) or died (I like) is kind of not a good sign. |

oh btw, i could think of lolz answers for your questions but i doubt that's what you're after and i have to agree on the pointlessness of the Kallen kidnapping plotline. you would have thought it would give way for Kallen to understand Lelouch as a person, but no, nothing came out of it. just a hax mecha... it may even be more useless than episode 12... well maybe not... but almost... |

As for my expectations, it fell to the curse of having a great first season, but the second season wasn't as good. I expected the second season to be a lot better than the first season, and it was worse. I expected Taniguchi to thumb his nose at fan expectations like Tomino, and Anno did. |

By the way, you have a really strange view of the characters in this show. Are you sure you got every characters personality and character traits right, because that might account for why you think the character development was worse then a game like Disgaea 3 where everyone's cliche to the max. |

Its not like he was Riza Hawkeye who had the whole Black Hayate story where she tells Fuey to throw out the dog, and when Fuey can find no one to take care of it, Riza takes it as her pet. Quote:

You have seen another character whose master plan is to capture a hero, and steal his title, so he can beat his dad, because the laws of narrative casuality makes you? The only other place I have seen that is Terry Pratchett's Discworld. |

The only reason Guilford 'looked like an ass' when he was talking down Jeremiah was because that, the talking, was his preordained job. He kicked ass elsewhere.
And the Rounds...well. With the exception of Anya, Gino, Nonette because she had a strong fanbase, and Suzaku (technically), the staff underwent a phase of culling filler characters. |

Well, Ranbal was thus:
* Far more awesome, especially for the quote you listed, part cut-off as it is. * In an age where characters being aces meant characters being aces. * Also in an age where filler characters got to show their stuff and survived mostly till the end of the series (though they were subjected to Kill 'Em All, the Shrike Team lasted until the final episode of V Gundam...or the second-last.). Even now, they still have 'em- several incarnations of the Black Tristars, the Astray Girls, Clotho, Orga and Shani...but I digress. |

As for the other Knights, does it really matter that much? Yeah they were more boss fights then actual characters for the most part, but is it really worth dwelling on? I've noticed you tend to focus only on the aspects of the series which you found to be weak or can nitpick to death, but I'd be curious to know what you found to be good as judging by the amount of negativity in your posts and pointing out every minor fault in the series you can come up with, I have to wonder why you even bothered to follow this show all the way to the end. Something must have kept you watching, so what was it? |
