Rebirth of the Rebellion - Code Geass R2 Talkback (SPOILERS)

Can we blame Suzaku for his feelings, though? We know the Geass command on Euphie was an accident, but Suzaku had no way of knowing. Euphie and Zero were alone together at the time. And then, as much as LeLouch hated it, he used the incident to kickstart his rebellion with Euphie left being portrayed as a mass murderer. He also personally shot her. In a way that was mercy as she would've gone on trying to kill forever, but it was also done for the sake of his plans.

Frankly, even if Suzaku knew the full truth, I think he'd still be angry over the lie. Plus, while its harsh, even though what happened to Euphie was an accident LeLouch is still responsible. Its something he'll live with that won't go away, much like Suzaku has his father's life on his head no matter how he tries to justify it to himself.

All that said, I agree that he's probably going to be far too obsessed with revenge for his own good and people around him are likely to suffer for it. And the beat goes on...
 
We don't know that yet. Because...

'Re:' is typically used for a reply, we don't know what it is a reply to, however.

BUT! With PHWs definition of Ragnarok that she found, perhaps C.C. and Lelouch survive in the end and they have to recreate the new world? I'd actually like that.

Oh and for all of those who actually thought
Schneizel was a good guy, I laugh at you, muahahaha.

On a side note: Earlier in this talkback I said that Nunally throwing the crane was her dying in a borab, and others said it meant a good thing actually. Yay for being right! =)
 
Yeah, the OP was going great for me until that part with the characters zooming past like that. Not to say that it was exactly a bad thing but it just seemed kind of out of place from the usual openings that they do (except for the second opening of season 1. Not only did I hate the song but the images didn't seem to flow very well together). But at least FLOW is back and their music still sounRAB awesome

And as usual, Ali Project's music makes me depressed every time I hear it (it sounded a lot like the first season's ending that they did though)
 
And what's wrong for an alternate version of Japan to be invaded and screwed over?

Code Geass is intended for the Japanese audience. And the strongest point in the show is that "Invasion and enslavement is bad". This is the standard "put the shoe on the other foot" storytelling.

What, are you suggesting Sunrise is trying to promote anti-West propaganda? Keep in mind the Code Geass former-Japanese military were shown to be a bunch of idiots and terrorists which Zero promptly killed off TWICE. And the main character is a Brittanian prince.
 
And the Gundam parallels go on and on and on...

Oh and bigdeath, I wholeheartedly agree with you on that one. I mean the second opening was totally shipping those two together. (However, I later learned that none of the C.E. OP's can be trusted for later events). Man, that was almost as awkward as Luke and Leia's surprising revelation.
 
Purple knows about the cast, but seriously Nunnally's VA right now is not...par with the others, let's just say. Hopefully she improves over the remaining episodes to 25 r2.
 
I completely agree with PHW.

While I understand the criticism that Geass gets, I honestly loved the series and really miss it. Yeah, the story was crazy, but for whatever reason I looked forward to it every week. Hell, I would get up at 5-6am on Sunday mornings so I could find out as soon as possible what had happened. No other show has ever managed to do such a thing for me.

I also do not believe that 00 is better than Geass. The cast for Geass really had an addicting factor for me. I found majority of the characters made of epic win, and even the ones I didn't love weren't so bad.

Could it have been done better? Sure, but I truly feel it deserves to be recognized as the best of 2008.

My second pick would go to Soul Eater, which is really just a breath of fresh air, and then third 00.
 
This is probably a good time to ask why the song is called "O2." I mean, I don't think it's in the lyrics is it?
 
I think Zero has become more than one person and Zero will be immortal, because once Lelouch passed that role to Suzaka is opens the door for Zero to be immortal. Suzaka will probably pass that down to someone else, than that person will pass it on to someone else, and so on.
 
Actually, yeah, some of the longer running anime can get up there. Shin-chan can usually grab upwarRAB of 17% with no problem.

The whole reasons the ratings are bothering me is because this was supposed to be a new doroku, the prime time for anime in Japan. Both Gundam SEED series aired in it as did Full Metal Alchemist. If I recall correctly, an average for Gundam SEED was around 5.0% with the highest episode for Gundam SEED Destiny being an 8.4%, I think. Ratings started slipping once Blood+ began airing, that continued on into the next two series in that time slot and then after Gundam 00, it was finally decided to move the time to 5PM on Sundays and that really seems like it was a fruitless effort when you look at these ratings. Like I said, a lot of these ratings are lower than Ayakashi Ayashi, and that show ended up being canceled. That's why I'm worried that DVD sales won't be enough because they won't come into play for a few months and to me it seems like Geass in this time slot is being judged not on its otaku appeal, but its mass appeal, which is what these prime time anime try to go for.
 
That manga sounRAB flat out wierd. What, are Samurai going to chop down Knightmares with sworRAB now? Or is the whole thing just flat out one-sided?

Huh... Gino's for some reason iffy in my opinion. Given the hints at Suzaku and Lelouch joining forces as per phw's speculation, and Gino's rather soraber mood in the newest OP, it seems otherwise. It is as if Suzaku joins Lelouch, which leaves Gino incredibly upset and depressed or whatever he feels in the OP and causes him to lash out.

Something seems odd when a usually happy-go-lucky character found in the first OP is now for some reason rather soraber in the next OP.
 
Mao uses his Geass as a weapon by using the deepest truths the person have hidden. If Mao lied, it would have no effect as no one would care what a completely stranger is lying about him/her.

Mao can only use facts. Only facts are irrefutable and the victim would be defenseless against it. Mao is crazy, but Suzaku knows Mao is telling the truth none the less.

It is a fact that Suzaku wanted to die. It is also a fact that instead of just commit suicide, he wanted to die in a way that make him look like some sort of martyr. If that isn't ego pleasing I don't know what is.
