Code geass placeholder

Original date of supposed post : 29-9-08


Lets start it off with when did I start watching this awesome show. Once I was browsing through the anime that my brother watched and I found Code Geass. There was some mecha and I was like hmm a mecha series and watched it. It was after the O levels when I started watching. Had a really deep and interesting story.

When have you found an anime that isn't full of Japanese comedy, stupid sexual jokes, or a harem involving a socially inept person with lots of hot anime girls around him. These low grade anime are everywhere, you can't escape them. But Code Geass makes an exception, it actually provides a deep story with awesome plot twists. It contains FABULOUS, intelligence (rare in animes), comedy and really interesting references to many myths. Its story isn't like, oh main character, so he cannot die, cannot be injured and basically he has DIVINE SHIELD HAHAHA. No. At least to certain extents.

The story is about Lelouch, a disowned prince who was left to die in foreign land with his handicapped sister after his father, the emperor refused to take action when his mother was murdered. He then gains a power of absolute obedience to pwn the world and force them to follow his orders, the power of the king. Ou no chikara

So why is it awesome? The characters are great, characters were created so that you could love them, feel for them and cry for them when they died. Theres the funny comic relief faggot who is so hyped up but always screws up. This guy who ended up being framed with a fake code name, Orange, (Orenji-kun) who later ended up opening an orange farm at the end. The voice acting was good, with emotions that flowed well with the scenes. Appropriate emo face distortions lol!
The songs were good choices for Japanese songs, at least they were not like like cutecutegirlsingingomgkawaii. Please -_- Oh some of the songs are on my playlist if u didn't realise. Colours, Jibun Wo~! Even if you don't listen to or like Japanese songs, you still have to admit the instrumental (no vocals) are still good.
The ending was awesome, just one phrase: Noble sacrifice.

Season 1 was good, highly recommended if you like a change from slapstick comedy, LUB LUB anime.
Season 2, started out good but went to a train wreck status somewhere in the middle of the series. Sadly ruined at some point of time by a story remake due to airtime changes and etc.

Season 1
Entertainment-wise: 100/100
Story-wise: 95/100

Season 2
Entertainment : 100/100 !!!
Story: 70/100 Needs to resolve plot hole issue and uncleared matters.
What the hell is C.C.'s real name.

Amazing that it accompanied me just around the O levels until just before the A levels.
Well, not so awesome as expected post.
