Title: Code Geass
Post by: theHunter on May 12, 2007, 04:02:58 am
Summary from Wiki, "On August 10th, 2010, a.t.b., the Holy Empire of Britannia overpowered Japanese forces and conquered the country with their robotic weapons, the Knightmare Frames, in less than a month. Japan lost its freedom and rights and was renamed Area 11, and the Japanese people are renamed "Elevens" and forced to survive in ghettos, while Britannians live in first-class settlements. Rebel elements persist, however, as pockets of Japanese organizations struggle against the Empire for the independence of Japan.

After his father, the Emperor of Britannia, did nothing to pursue the terrorists who murdered his mother and crippled his sister, a young boy named Lelouch vowed to destroy Britannia. Seven years later in Area 11, he encounters a mysterious girl who gives him the power of the Geass. With it, he finally has the power that he needs to defeat Britannia and fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world in which his beloved sister can live happily."

I'm on episode 14, this show is awesome.  Very deep and compelling story.  There is mech action--mech are called "Knightmares"-- and though its an important part of the show it doesn't eclipse story, character development, etc. like Gundam or other mech shows.

Comes highly recommended.. it can be downloaded from (am I allowed to say?).

Got no interest in the show. :/ The only thing I liked about is the opening, coincidentally done by one of my favourite J-Bands (FLOW), but the mech aspect turns me off. I'll look up reviews about it, I guess.

Plus no, can't link.

I think Code Geass was the second best series of fall/winter 2006, only second to Death Note. It's going to continue later this year.

everyone should watch it. :rite:

Code Geass is pretty great and everyone who hasn't checked it out should definitely give it a chance if they like that kind of anime. Can't wait for the last 2 eps that are gonna air this summer.

I don't know if this is true but I'm pretty sure there's going to be a new season too. I read that somewhere but it might have been a rumor. I can't see Code Geass ending in two episodes though, there are so many unresolved things.

I agree with you here.  CODE GEASS is one of the best series that I've seen, and by far the best series of the year (GEASS > Death Note and Kanon IMO).  Lelouch is certainly one of the top heroes in any media, acted or animated, with his idealism, his weaknesses as a human, AND a determination to accomplish his dreams through any mean instead of the conventional "I will do my best and save everyone and it will somehow work out."

Pizza Hut paid to advertise in the show, so there are many scenes involving pizza from Pizza Hut (complete with the Pizza Hut logo).  Since one of the main characters is a pizza lover, the logo shows up in almost every episode.

I'm a Goro Taniguchi fanboy (loved Infinite Ryvius, Planetes), so I guess by extension that makes me a bit of a Code Geass fanboy. I acknowledge that it is pretty much pulp fiction and the plot development isn't quite fluid, but it's very entertaining nonetheless. Regardless of whether you thought Episode 22 was tripe or brilliant, Episode 23 was extremely solid (probably the best episode so far), and I can't wait for the last two episodes of the first season.

EDIT: Also, I love this picture:

There's like a bilion fan made OPs on Youtube where people used different songs and slapped it on various footage of the series (like an amv). Some are really cool or funny.

Anyway Code Geass was really good until ep 22. Then it turned to utter crap. It's a prime example of using a crappy plot device for shock effects and tragedy. Very bad writing. Very disappointing because it could have been really good but all ruined by the usual "if it's not shocking and/or characters don't get kill off it's no good" attittude that has ruined more fictional stories than I could possibly count and has led to about a billion bad anime/manga endings.

Just finished watching episodes 24-25 and wow, I don't want to spoil anything but it's going to be really hard to wait for season 2 to start after the ending of season 1. Geass has been really good at rising the tension of the situation without it getting to the point where it's exhausting to watch the show. You can get the final episodes on irc at #[email protected]. The bot is pretty fast too; I got it at 1mb/s.

Good... because this means I can watch the final 3 episodes of the first series without writing a four page rant filled with hate I know I would have had for it. Although it is possible that they could have resolved all of the issues I had with the series in the next three episodes... there was just too much to possibly go through it all.... so I refused to watch it.

I haven't watched Code Geass, but I've heard a lot about it....and I'll probably see it soon since it's apparently it's coming to Adult Swim this Spring. I wonder if Pizza Hut will have to hammer out a new deal to keep the product placement in the American version?

hahaha yeah.  Code Geass is one of those animes that you really have to watch through in a single sitting (I did it in a record-setting 5 days, which is pretty good for me since it usually takes me about a month to get through series).  Definitely one of my new favorite animes.

For some reason I didn't like it.

A large part of the battles seemed too implausible.  The terrain isn't like a chess board,
a
nd I didn't see the relationship they were trying to make.  He can't use a two dimensional map and assume that placing his pieces here, there
a
nd so on will accurately hit everything every time without being there directly.  The battle field is far more complex than a two dimensional plane,
b
ut perhaps I'm over-analyzing it.
Title: Code Geass
Post by: Swordfish on April 03, 2008, 01:44:54 pm
You are over analyzing it, just like in eye shield people call out some weired football attack with some zany graphics, Its an ANIME, thus anything can happen, thats the beauty of it.
Still, i admit your point is valid, regardless of how pointless it is to make it of an anime. A real life program then yes it would be absolutely valid, a more realistic animation and again valid, but in anime? Don't bother trying to talk about realism.

Its so annoying when you know something you want is going to happen, just not when.

I don't know how you guys handle differing opinions, but in the Death Note topic someone remarked on how Death Note singlehandedly represents everything that's wrong with anime.

I just saw Code Geass for the first time today, and I can say in all confidence that it solidly represents everything that is wrong with anime. I was seriously in awe of how cohesivley it covered every single aspect. All in just the first fucking epsiode even (they even managed to fit in everything that was wrong with Death Note at the very end)! I wonder if I kept watching, if I could pick up on things I forgot to consider (or even things I didn't know I didn't like about anime).

If you have any interest in dislking anime, and are the curious type that likes to know the "why" behind things. I can't help but suggest that you at least check out this show.

I don't know how you guys handle differing opinions, but in the Death Note topic someone remarked on how Death Note singlehandedly represents everything that's wrong with anime.

You're a real stupid shit you know. How about giving any reasons for how code geass represents everything that's wrong with anime?

I'm amazed how crappy this post is.

I really am.

Stupid fuck, you can have your own opinion but how about stating your reasons? I don't even care about code geass or that some people think that anime sucks but this post is terrible man.

I have to agree with this person, although not in such a rude way. honestly, what did the anime do that "represent everything that is wrong with anime".  Can't you just enjoy it for what it is, an anime?

Makes sense. It's kinda funny I didn't catch that.

Although you guys seem to be taking it unusually negativley if that is the case. Wouldn't you guys feel the same way about the first episode, and maybe even start a legit discussion on it? I apologize for not presenting that image outright, and especially if it has already been discussed earlier in the topic and I missed that aswell.

It's a pretty bad episode though. I'm now curious enough to check a few more episodes out too see how well a premise established "that way" can turn out. With mechs too.

Actually I'm not really sure if it's that much of an established fact but I've never personally seen anyone say the first episode was good.

For me... I watched the first ep and was like "OH SHIT, SO IT'S DEATH NOTE WITH MECHAS AND GAYER DRAWINGS?"

And then, I watched the 2nd (For some reason) and from then on kept watching and now I'm loving the second season.

I don't know if you're actually describing your experience or mocking me, man...
In my case, it was something along the line of being with a shitton of guys, each with different tastes... So we needed something middle-ground to watch and we decided we might as well watch episode 2 of this.

I know what you're in it for. It's everyone else on the net that bothers me. They talk so highly of the show... yet they seem to have neglected to mention all of the horrible hooks they used to draw people in (as well as the blatant Pizza Hut plugs).

My experiances boiled down to this. I was pretty biased against the series from the start, but since I apparently need a reason to hate it.. I decided to watch it.  I was left confused most of the times... and the answers the series gave me to questions I had only raised more questions. By the time I saw the final 3 I was left feeling that I knew less of what was going on than when I first began... and when I saw how R2 began (1 year in the future?) I couldn't bear to watch it any more. I don't care for the series at all. It's definitely better than 90% of what comes out... but these days it's not saying much.

Fixed.

On to the discussion, though, the first episode was pretty poor.  The series should not be confusing in any way (if you're actually confused by it, then go back to watching DBZ and Yumeria), though as much as I loved the series, it does have many, many flaws.  Firstly, the coincidence factor is quite excessive at times, especially with

Second, the story's pacing is only average. 

Third, the series should have ended at around 30 episodes. 

Fourth, Rolo sucks.  Period.

Fifth (does that even make sense), Karen's character gets worse by the minute

So why do I still love GEASS even given the above reasons?  It's simple - Lelouch and Suzaku are awesome.  Lelouch is a perfect representation of an imperfect hero with a partially selfish, partially emphasizable, and humanistically flawed and scrambled dream, and is willing to go above and beyond to achieve it.  Suzaku is a hypocritical version of the conventional anime hero, with his "I will do this without bloodshed.  I will change everything from the inside and ignore the fact that without Zero, I would have been dead.  I will stop war without caring about the peoples' pride.  I will bow down to Euphemia and serve her hand-on-foot and pile all of my freedom and dignity on her shoulders and let her change the world and thus gain momentum with my argument of changing Britannia from the inside.  I will oppose Zero because he kills soldiers, and my ideals are justified just because I tell people to put down their weapons before every battle.  If they actually have pride then they deserve to die and my ideals of still stopping the war without bloodshed will still be upheld," which NO anime that I've seen so far will even dare portray.  If it was not for these two main chars, then Code GEASS would be just another Samurai 7 with fanservice and random silliness.

CLAMP is a group of women who are manga authors/artists responsible for many series such as Cardcaptor Sakura, X/1999, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, XXXHolic, etc... They did the character designs for the show.

So... I actually got pulled into this and watched all two seasons of it which I may or may not regret in the far future. Oh right the last episode of season 2 was today so... my opinions.

Well the start was a bit rocky but all in all it was alright. I actually enjoyed the development of the main character and some of the stuff he realizes actually got to me. I didn't actually like Kallen all that much,

I thought that was a fantastic ending. I knew that that would be what Zero Requiem was going to be, but didn't figure out the specifics; I thought the epilogue was a bit blargh, but it seems to be a tradition of anime to sorta just DO THAT (it's like a convention or something, idk?).

Still, good ending to a good series imo.

Seems like they were planing a season 3, but then just went fuck it. The end of the season seems very rushed. Right as Charles was finally getting some development he is offed, as well as Lelouch's Mother, which leads me to believe season 2 was going to end with Charles death. Then season 3 was going to be all about Lelouch as the new Emperor. Overall the end was nice, but not a very big twist. There is still and open endness to it as well. Either way Gundam 00 is coming back soon.
