haha i totally agree, no offense to the kang sung jae guy...but he's the exact type of guy Sunrise aims at



edit:
Most importantly, i just feel that if we all come to terms with the fact that, yes, sunrise is doing a cr@pload of fanservice (for money too?), it'll be hard to find an anime that's actually geared towards being excellent in every aspect...making anime is someone's living, and so, when people get desperate...well this is what happens. But if we accept this fact, i guess it's easier to watch S2 without getting all pissed

See, the difference between me and most other people (at least this is how I feel about the subject) is that I don't act differently online. I won't say something here that I wouldn't say to someone's face.

The internet just gives people the ability to say stuff to people that they'd never be man (or woman) enough to say to someone else in the real world.

Hence the internet = insult heaven.

Of course they are understandable to you. You wrote them. I understand them just fine though.

Calling him a deranged fanboy is not really correct. KS just thinks you go a bit too far with your criticism. It's just an opinion.

I've only been slightly disappointed really, but I made sure not to set my hopes to high since that always leads to disappointment in the end.

Aren't you that one who is clearly acting like a fanboy.

He can have his opinion, I don't care. What I do care about is that the guy insists on posting about me and attacking my opinion whenever I post - He's seriously annoying.

Don't like my opinion? Ignore me.

yeah don't get me wrong, i totally understand the internet flaming concept...just trying to throw that out there so that (hopefully) some people will think before they start flaming away

then again, reading all those funny/somewhat witty comments make my day

You are entitled to your opinion I suppose.

It was fine to me. He came to realise that Nunnally isn't the only reason he is doing what he was doing, and for their sake he has to go on.

So a little "slice of life" action to flesh out all the character's personality = filler ?

I find those parts fairly enjoyable. A nice break from the high tension of the series.

You know I don't know, anime is highly character driven.
If you don't care about such stuff and just want to see stuff blown up, I suggest stuff like Quake 4.

Perhaps that someone who seems knows less about the nautical world than you do does know more about the resource layouts/physics of his side of the world.

I should stop before I should like a snob.

He had her on the way, but he acted a little too soon for her to catch up appropirately because he wanted to rescue his sister as soon as possible maybe? And another thing, the whole scenario with the Guren was already mentioned to have been practiced and studied by Kallen during the fall. If you had enough sense, you'd see that for mid-air combat this would probably be the most expedient and viable means to refit the Guren should it get taken down while in combat now that she has a float system

You don't look at it from the context of the story at all do you? Did you even pay attention during episode 12, 13, and 14 honestly? These 'filler' characters mean something to Lelouch so while they might not be important to the overall plot they are important for his character and from his perspective, so yes what they did can believably create enough of an impact to help him recover.

I was right, shortsightedness really is your strong suit isn't it Maes? <_<

Quote:
1: There are many people who bash anyone who goes against the opinion of the majority, commonly known as fanboys.
2: I seem to word things in a way that leads others to believe I'm pushing my opinion on them. I simply prefer not to add "In my opinion" to the beginning of every sentence.
3: KrimzonStriker is an idiot.

Someone suggested that Sunrise have increased the amount of fan service to make up for them not being able to go as far as they could in S1 due to their new timeslot. I personally believe Sunrise are simply desperate for higher ratings.

The fan service really has been excessive so far. Hopefully, one the shit hits the fan towards the end, we'll see much less.
1. If you came up with something that wasn't close to whining and actually made critical reviews you might not have such a rough time since a valid argument wouldn't have so many holes in it

2. After all that pointless typing you get lazy on that? What fantastic priorities you have, it really speaks of how come your so focused on the fan-service instead of everything else. I take it none of your works must have much substance if they would even require you to write 'in my opinion' for all of them

3. I'll take that as a compliment as an idiot who has such an introverted logic must have meant it in that context when he calls me an idiot

Or maybe if you stopped obsessing over it the fan-service wouldn't be such a problem. It lasts for a few seconds most of the time and yet it eats up about your entire posts, maybe that should tell you about where you should focus your eyes on next time

What book or story, ever, has not had perfect timing? I'm willing to say that just about everyone of them can be said to have had either perfect timing or blatant deus ex machina.

Well, Taniguchi would rather not have that happen. He's the one in charge after all.

I have done for many weeks, ignoring all his posts aimed at me. Instead of taking the hint, he kept on aiming posts at me and attempting to piss me off. As much as I like attention, I don't want a male Geasstard stalking me wherever I go.

He simply wants me to stop posting because he believes it's impossible for my opinion to be correct and that I'm somehow determined to hate Code Geass.

Given that Lelouch was supposed to be a strategic master, I would suppose that he would have researched all the areas that the Black Knights are supposed to be hiding.


The only perfect timing I see is his appearing in the scenes by the skin of people's teeth.

yep haha.

idk i still find code geass S2 to be pretty amusing, same goes for alot of the other animes out there. I just don't get my hopes too high, and accept what's thrown at me..sorta

maybe it's cuz i haven't watched enough good animes to get really picky, but i don't mind most of the flaws with code geass. Anime is supposed to be different from our world, just a form of entertainment.
