I recently re watched Code Geass R2 for
what is perhaps the billionth time. The series as a whole is quite
possibly the most fun anime I have ever watched. Screw plot, we need
more cliffhanger endings and reaction faces! Certain acts may have
dragged, and brought the show down a bit, “fuck China”, though as
a whole it flowed pretty smoothly. To me, this series represents the
beginning of the end of my anime fanaticism. This was the last show I
watched while airing, and wholly enjoyed. Code Geass was the pinnacle of anime, it combined every cliche with such over the top antics that it managed to do so in a unique, and entertaining way. Code Geass Sundays, those
were the shit of legends.Back before /a/ became a shithole of moe
and generic Shonen Jump shit, it was the place to discuss anime. So
many of my favorite series I discovered through it, Gurren Lagann,
Clannad, Legends of the Galactic Heroes, shows I would have never
heard of, or watched otherwise
Every single episode of Code Geass
flooded the board like a torrent of piss in the toilet after waking
up form a night of sleep. Utter chaos, and admiration for each
episode of this masterpiece of a train wreck filled the board. You
did not talk about anything other than Code Geass on Sundays, and the
rest of the week, unless you were some sort of fucktard who had no
taste. Sure Macross Frontier aired at the same time, and probably
some other shows I don't remember, but who cares about them ? They
were nowhere near as entertaining. I remember going to Otakon with a
friend of mine, and depsite being exhausted when I got home from the
8 hour drive, I knew I needed to watch the latest episode of my then
favorite show. It was the one where Suzaku, or Nukezaku as he was
called that week blew up Tokyo. Fuck yeah! Kallen also returned in
her new pimped out wannabe Gundam, the Gurren S.E.I.T.E.N. Eight
Elements . What an episode that was.
I still miss Code Geass, and still
hope someday there will be R3. Is Lelouch alive or Dead ? He will
forever be Schrodinger's Geass until then. Fuck Akito the Exile of
whatever it's called, You may be able to do Gundam without Amuro, but
Geass IS Lelouch. Accept no substitutes. I finally caved and bought
these two beauties below. Pictures do no bring out the exquisite
detail in these beauties. I cannot believe how long it took me to
cave and get these guys, They are truly centerpieces in my collection. I am truly a consumer whore, and no one can stop me!
