I admire Cornelia's resolve in Geass

Wow, I can actually read the english texts and articles in Code Geass without wincing from bad grammar.

I'm not sure if this is right place for it, but anyways.

Does anyone know if Code Geass R2 is popular in it's prime time slot? As in, is it attracting a lot of viewers? Because a few people have been saying it hasn't been faring to well - I don't want it to get cancelled >.<

From the anime ratings thread, Code Geass' first three episodes got 3.0, 2.6, and 2.8 respectively. It's not exactly great ratings for an afternoon show, but it's unlikely to be canceled either - Code Geass' merchandising potential is enough to ensure that (Code Geass is one of the better selling non-Gundam anime out there).

[4Tran]

Updating the ratings information, it looks like Code Geass episode 4 just got a rating of 1.4. While the ratings of a single episode usually isn't too indicative, such a precipitious drop is a matter of concern, and suggests that the change in timeslot was a failure. There's still no danger of the show getting canceled or anything like that, but it looks like the creators have been unable to garner a new audience, and that the current viewers are the same fans that tuned in for the first season. It's still possible for Code Geass' later episodes to pick up steam, but it's looking like extremely remote odds at this time.

Well despite all that, apparently the planner for Code Geass (along with Zeta Gundam, PlanetES, Char's Counterttack, Turn A Gundam etc) has been promoted to the position of president of Sunrise. I guess when you've done all that you've kind of earned it. I'm also glad it was somebody behind some of their best series and not say, the guy that planned Gundam Seed Destiny or the Mai series.

[KrimzonStriker]

Ah, Char's Counter-attack, how I miss the Red Comet >_>

Good to hear about the promotion anyway

it's a dvd extra. The "picture books" are included in each of the 9 volumes, and go from absolutely ridiculous to quite sad.

Look, rather than continually asking and waiting for a response, why don't you try googling "geass" and "picture drama"? Who knows, something just might come up

What exactly is Cornelia's rank in the Army? Wikipedia's article implies she is the Commander in Chief of the Army, but that is not reflected in the Japanese version of the wiki article.

wouldn't her status as governor general make her...well, a general? >_>

I suppose she's a royal family member before being a military officer in terms of status though, so it may be rather difficult to find out.

Cornelia's rank is different from the regular military, same with Schneizel or Lelouch(if he hadn't forfeited his chance at the throne) since all of them are prince and princesses.

Here is a sketchy outline of how the army seems to work.

Emperor > Knights of the Round (his personal unit, capable of independent action and don't even have to take orders from prince or princesses)

Emperor > Prince/Princess(ex.Cornelia, Schneizel) > General(Darlton, Alex etc) > Count/Baron > Warrant Soldier > Britannian soldiers

I'm more comfortable thinking that noble titles and ranks are independent of military ranks, like they are in real life, but that may be how it works.

But as I mentioned before this is only a brief look at how it is; since there is several other positions in there including knights of the prince/princesses. Speaking of which I wonder if Nunnally has one? Can't be Suzaku; maybe the potential for a new character filling that spot, not like we need any new ones though.

The titles and ranks are differnt from military ranks. However, due to "bias", it's a bit obvious that the higher the title, the more likely higher the rank.

The knights are split in two, with one of them being just a title, and the other one being a special rank, more like the security service of the royal family.
