At that range he couldn't have run even if he wanted to, so throwing the spear at the giant explosion really was the only option.

Well, not necessarily. He was in the Lancelot Albion at the time, and that and the Guren SEITEN are insanely fast. Besides, if Guilford could nearly make it in his Vincent...

True enough, though Guilford was on the edge and thus did not so much run as avoid the unpleasant fate of being vaporized.

No clearly because we didn't see him outright get vaporized he must have been dead and thus he was ressurected. Of course I'm just saying this before anyone else brings up the same old gripes, I don't actually believe it. If one has any sort of imagination of course they could accept that there is always a possibility he could still have survived. Of course since we don't know how it will just turn into a bitching match between people who want their griping point and people who just don't care enough to arbitrarily disallow his survival and want to theorize about how he lived. Two very different classes of people seem to have watched this show and oddly enough they are about equal in number. Mostly for the second season though and after it got popular. I notice the old school mecha heads are far more open minded about the whole experience of Code Geass. |

Why it's not hard to take serious though is pretty easy to answer. It's simply the language you use. It comes across more like a sarcastic and comedic review then a serious one. This is before you try to simplify and shoehorn everything into a specific category such as fanservice or "stupid/idiotic". If you're absolutely sure of what you wrote then you can start giving examples for whatever point you want to make and maybe then I'll see it in a different light. You posted the review so it's kind of up to you to support it, not for me to pick out random points to issue counter-opinions too and especially not when I can't even rationalize most of it with the show I watched yet. I'm not that interested in proving/disproving anything yet, but rather about trying to comprehend what it is you are trying to accomplish with this review. Is it to warn people from watching the show? Is it to criticize something you see as an overly popular show (right now this seems the most likely reason given your " It’s no.1 in anidb, so it is obviously omnipotent." comment)? Or is it simply just something you did to pass the time here? Edit: Actually wait, here's the perfect thing to touch upon: Quote:

Well, if you put it like that, I usually write in a sarcastic and comedic way. Also, I consider this anime to be a silly series trying to pass for serious, just because it had more variety and out-of-place events presented as plot twists than most other anime. Thus, the tone was inserted on its own as such.
It is to warn people about what I think the series is and un-deify it a lot, since I hardly consider it to be as good as it passes to be. And the part you made a comment about is true. Most people do watch anime or television or movies for such a reason. Famous series are not the same as masterwork series, yet they get far higher marks because of hype. By "whatever" I meant the bad editing of the scenes in the second season. |

A second opinion is a good thing for everything. It's just that I want to be this second opinion. Not the first. And the review is written with this in mind. Also, the series was still the most awesome thing ever when I wrote the review, pretty much the same happens with every anime that just ended. I supposed everyone reading it would have already heard what an awesome series it is. Maybe now that things calm down it feels extreme but it was very counter-extreme back then.
Anyway, I write reviews to steam out and entertain the readers, not to directly brainwash them. Most don't read long reviews full of linguistic supermancy to begin with, so I like this breezy style. It is not a school essay, ya know? I have fun writting reviews. |

There are a number of issues regarding this review that could be further discussed, particularly considering specific details that are not addressed at all outside of arguable general statements, but I want to focus on just one of them at the moment.

Second, even if that were to become true, at this point it is only a hypothesis. A series should be judged on its own merits, not based on a non-existent production that may or may not be relevant to what has already happened. This attitude seems to have a lot of prejudice, considering it would be entirely possible for Sunrise to make a new spin-off with no real link to the existing storyline. Gundam does that all the time. More Code Geass does not mean that the ending to the second season will become a "cliffhanger" since an alternate universe could easily be created instead. Unless you own a crystal ball, that is. |

Anyway, the stuff about editing my review two posts up? Won't happen. I hear they will make a remake of the second season. Official statement in a few months. And if it happens (which most likely will because it's a goose that lays gold eggs) I will yell "I told you so and you knew it all along". |

I think it's far more likely to see other alternatives rather than a remake, much less a full length one instead of a movie retelling or something along different lines. Assuming otherwise seems to be making a greater leap, since you're going against precedent. |

then they would be able to say "we're not just doing it for money... we're doing it for a shitload of money"
which changes things somewhat and its not like they havent outright stated that R2 was not according to plans

Sunrise is a pretty versatile company with a lot of industry access, funding, clout and in my opinion some pretty imaginative people working in it so if they want to make more Code Geass they'll find a way to work it out. I'll also point to this:
Spoiler for U.C Gundam/Char's Counterattack:
