Code Geass

[GSDAkatsuki]

song is ok but opening sucks. they got lazy in actually making an animation opener, just like how they got lazy in making a good story and started pulling shit out their ass.

After nearly two months of being out of the loop, I have returned!!! And of course, just in time for the ending too

Code Geass R2, episode 24

Spoiler

Wow. I've honestly never read/watched something so full of twists (usually because I can't get into them ).

I get the feeling that at least all four of our core characters are going to end up dead, Kallen, Suzaku, Lelouch, and I don't know what to think of C.C. Half of me is concerned that she's dead and gone for good, but then again we've seen all that before. On the other hand, her immorality may have been removed when Charles was killed and the whole "world of C" sort of collapsed.

Final turn? Already?! *sigh* All good things must come to an end it seems... after two seasons though, I'm still not ready!!! Guess who's going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight!

[Z]

Who knows, Neb. All my bets are off. o_O

... partly since I fail with bets in the first place....

Spoiler

You do bring up a good point about CC losing immortality though...

I just wonder if Nunnally has a Geass of her own [since almost EVERYONE has one], and if yes, what it does. O_o

[GSDAkatsuki]

She doesn't have a geass ability because her original powers were to see into teh future, but the writers gave that power to the knight of one.

[Z]

Spoiler

Indeed, she didn't have one. O_o Finally.

Sooo THAT's what Zero Requiem was....

And.... sad ending

[GSDAkatsuki]

God, CG did not finish in a thunderous applause but with a donkey spewing diarrhea allover its face. I'm just going to focus on reading knightmare of nunnally now.

[Z]

Wait, are you referring to Season 1 or 2? and what exactly makes you say that?

[GSDAkatsuki]

the last half of season 2

[Z]

Gotten through it all or just getting to it?

Indeed, there were some rough moments during that half.... but the ending makes up for it, at least to me it does.

[GSDAkatsuki]

I thought the ending was obvious and was the only ending they could do after the shit they pulled off.

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Code Geass R2, Ep25

Spoiler

Well I did not foresee 98% of that episode.

Was pretty sure Lelouch was gunna die, but that's the only thing I predicted accurately.

Had no idea wtf was going to happen to Nunnally.

I thought sure Ohgi was to die, as well as Orange-kun, as well as the ENTIRE Knights of the Rounds, with absolutely NO survivors.

I thought for sure both Kallen and Suzaku would be dead. I'm quite surprised that they BOTH survived. Li Xingke I had already accepted dead as a fact.

I thought sure C.C. was going to die at the end. I was absolutely stunned that she didn't. Especially in those last few scenes with her at the church that really made you think it was over for her. However, not having her die (not that I wanted her too... sort of) kinda makes you wonder now what's in store of her. She's probably still got the Geass curse on her, so she'll still live until someone grants her wish, if she tries to do that again. The ending kinda made me think she finally came to terms with her immortality.

I think they left a lot of crap open though. I don't think we ever really learned about Kallen's brother. She kept mentioning him and comparing him to Zero, it seems like we would've had a lot more about him. Side stories to come perhaps?

Suzaku becomes the new Zero? Again, did not see that coming. They successfully fooled me into thinking that Lelouch had fallen so far into zealotry that he ends up becoming the very thing he hated, alas, Lelouch, the ultimate strategist had it all planned from the beginning.

For those they didn't show us in those last five minutes, I guess everyone goes off to live happy, peaceful, simple lives.

Aside from a few loose ends that they didn't tie up, I was fairly satisfied with the ending.
I wonder if they'll make some mini-story novel like things or something. I mean, again we've got all those loose ends, especially regarding C.C.. I could definitely see that happening. Might not be as good, but it still seems possible.

EDIT: Oh that's right, they have OVA's in anime. Maybe?
AH! I just remembered!!! They never told us what C.C.'s real name was?!?!?!?!?!!? WTF SUNRISE!???!

EDIT 2: Someone decided to speculate and add this to the Wikipedia article on C.C.. It has since been removed.

Note: Lelouch is indeed alive. First we see C.C. crying and praying because Lelouch is going to die. When Lelouch is dying, Nunnally got Lelouch's memories when she touched him, just like Lelouch did when he touched C.C. back in Narita. (Code (V.V or C.C. inmortality ability) effect). At the end we see "the farmer" (he doesn't show his face or hair) with nobel clothes! Then we see a happy C.C. saying: "Geass is the power of kings, it will isolate you... well, I guess thats a little wrong.. eh, Lelouch", while she turns his eyes to "the farmer" (Lelouch). And we say the bird origami that only Lelouch know how to make. (He make one to Nunally in the first episode.)

Of course, this is just speculation, but it brings up a few good points.

Yeah I was wondering about Xingke.... last I saw of him proper was leading that damaged Shenhu to battle, and then no more. O_o

The group picture at the end didn't show him, either.

And nothing else to hint at anything between Kyo and Nagisa? Blarg~!

It could be, though that's bound to be debated for a while.

[GSDAkatsuki]

HE was with tianzi at the execution ceremony.

[Z]

Hmm.... O_o

Well whaddya know, he DOES live.... where's he poof off to afterwards, I wonder?

[GSDAkatsuki]

Loliconning obviously.

[!]

ah just watched 20 to 25 in a row right now, great stuff .

Spoiler

As for the whole Lelouch thing, i thought it was pretty clear that he was being evil 'for a reason', they said as much, but yeah, i never saw what zero requiem was coming at all, nice. Loved the scene, dramatic effect was awesome, although i didnt see a reason why Nunally had to be in such clothes

They didnt explain all though, how did suzaku survive ? As for Lelouch, I understood the ending as him being alive

Anyways, code geass was a pretty awesome show overall (both seasons), its definitely among my favorites

[Z]

P'raps he got out of the cockpit just in time to avoid getting fried.

Possibly the whole public shame as a form of punishment factor.... Schneizel was also in rags too o_O

Plus the OST in 25 was awesome
