I did not comment on previous episodes so I'll say everything here:
Hmm so it's not impossible to regain memory from Geass, then there is a possibility that Sherley (or what her name is xD) will regain her memory once again. Also that quite a weird ending, I would soooo annoyed if I would have watched this while airing xD.

Good season 9.4/10.

And since that episode to the very End I hated and still hate after so many years Suzaku. Wish he died in ep1 when he was shot by Clovis' royal guard...too sad....
A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over?

This series was incredible! But Lelouch can't die!! Without him this anime won't be as much fun.

Spoilers for the episode in case someone didn't see it.

Great ending. But one thing I'm confused about. Why did Colin react the way she did when she found out Lelouch was Zero? Why does Zero being Lelouch all of the sudden mean he was just using Japan as a means to an end? I could maybe see why if she knew he was a Brittanian prince. But that's supposed to be a closely guarded secret and I don't remember her gaining that information. Anyone know why she felt so betrayed?

Dat finish, just telling the audience to wait for R2!! Hope nothing happens to Nunally... and just who the fuck is V.V ??? If they switched to another character for protagonist, I would never watch R2!

She was worried about whether Lelouch used Geass on her probably...

I do wish the ending wasn't so open, but other than that the last episode was pretty satisfying. Lots of drama, plot twists, Zero abandoning it all for Nunnally (which was his reason in the first place) showed that he's not all consumed by revenge or wanting to play God or anything like that. Like C.C. said in the end, he just wanted a bit of happiness with Nunnally :<

On to r2 I guess.. I can't see Lelouch really surviving in the next one if the ending is more definite and closed there, but if so I hope Suzaku goes as well. I really, really hate that guy. To quote Lulu loosely, 'I don't have time to argue which of us is the bigger hypocrite.' Suzaku frustrates me.

I would have been content had everything ended right there (no season 2). Lelouch lost. Game over. Done. The end.

C.C.'s sacrifice... <3

(but yay! theres another season!)

Code Geass will remain with a score of 8/10 (very good).

Jeremiah didn't die. The fat scientist guy picked him up in the episode with the landslide. He wasn't just randomly brought back. Mao was "shot" but not killed as he explained quite clearly.

This show was one hell of a ride, first time I have enjoyed anything mecha related.

Loved the entire show, though the ending is one hell of a cliffhanger ending. Most of the main characters were likeable, especially LeLouch despite the way he is acting is definitely my favorite character from this show.

Good thing there is a season 2!

You quoted me on a post from almost 8 years ago. I would point you out the twists I mean from code geass and death note that are the same, but I won't be re-watching both of them now so I can point it out to you. I remember that most of them were on the first episodes though.

I have no idea what is "ASOIAF", something tells me it's not anime or not a common abbreviation

oooooooohhh shit dat cliffhanger doe! and why the fuck Kallen was so shocked like bitch you knew he wasn't Japanese
and goddammit that fuckin Nina somebody pleeez take this bitch out


anyway, first half of the show was ass 3/10,
Second half was actually pretty enjoyable 7/10.
Overall, 5/10


Honestly tho, this show is probably the most overrated Anime of all time.
it took me forever to finish it and that's because of how shitty the first half was.

so far,
Death Note >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Code Geass
Light >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lelouch




On To The Next One, i hope R2 can change my mind..

Soooo many loose ends. Thank god there's a season two. Still, that was fucking awesome overall, despite some occasional stupidity and lapses in logic. The entertainment value was insane. It sucks knowing so torturously little about C.C., though.

Never would have guessed that I'd like this one but I really did. Either an 8 or a 9, I'll have to think it over.

Damn. So that's what Lelouch learned after finally getting Cornelia.
C.C. "senses" that Nunnally has been taken or did the person she was talking to all this time tell her that?

Dat Cecile back! Dat side oppai!

Arthur saved Suzaku. Who would Arthur bite if Suzaku is dead? lol
Zero has left the battlefield.
Go to Zero Kallen.

Nunnally is at that place.
Lelouch seeing visions.
Damn. Burned at the stake.

OMG! No! NAOMI!!!!!! My Black Knight waifu! Why did you kill her off? She was too fine to die! I'll miss her beautiful body.
Suzaku has arrived.
When did Kallen arrive?
Perfect aim by Suzaku.
I love how Lelouch's hair moves after Suzaku realizes who it is. I like how Lelouch looks like a vampire.
Kallen is shocked.
Kallen sheds tears.
Lelouch did cooperate with Euphy, but unexpected things happened.
If Lelouch shouldn't exist in this world then neither should you Suzaku.
SUZAKU! RURUSHU! Rurushu! rurushu!
Dat gunshot!
Nunnally loses her virginity.
C.C. sinks below the sea with Orange-kun for all eternity.

What a finale. CG displays why it is my favorite anime ever. Truly a masterpiece. Felt amazing watching this after 9 years and in the year 2017. Also, this cliffhanger happened on April 15, 2017. So awesome.

What a fantastic OPEN-ENDING! - very Loved it! is one of the best anime!

It didn't go rush as some might thought this as a "excuse".Last two episode were made with lot of planning of three to four months! and no wonder this creates a heavy open ending!! Perfect lead to people to screw someone's mind to watch another 25 episodes! and this is what anime call success!!!

(I wonder what could happen if this was the standalone season? haha, I cant imagine that!)

Well this was 5/10 for me. Interesting premise but it was squandered by bad writing with its many plot contrivances and coincidences. Everybody around Lelouch made dumb decisions to make him seem smart and I was actually happy that he finally made a mistake in episode 22, cheesy as it was.

Hopefully R2 is better.

Also that's pretty funny that 1 out of 5 stands for: Liked it. Thought it normally stood for "Hated it". Even my favourite anime Madoka Magicas final episode doesn't have the same score descriptions when I think it deserves to even more.

Hysteria has reached with this halfway cliff-hanger episode a level never seen before.



-5/5 based on notation, 2/5 using the usual meaning.


This 2006 Mai-hime used everything at disposal to assure popularity, just like its "ancestor". It is pretty well build to work at the goal it is obsessed with: being thrilling and exciting and creating "faithfulness" in the audience by chaining together events and coincidences in order to keep the SHOW going on. It's a perfectly decent concept (certainly super-effective for a single watch during a weekly broadcast), the main fault is that it was made in a 90% over-seriousness/dramatic tone (unlike said predecessor). Since the composition often lead it to feature doubtful happenings breaking everytime a little more the spectator's belief (unlike an old ancestor: the episodic novel "Le Compte de Monte Cristo"), it makes it harder to still "trust" it. The soap-opera undertone made also for a few ridiculous moments.
Technically good. Music okay with really few slips. The charadesign style, though, is quite off-putting (but stays in line with the rest: using a trend of its time).

Overall score for this lurid / sensationalist "blockbuster": 6~7/10 depending on the second half since it is one of those stupid cut series.


Yeah, 50% through ! I can breath. ^^
@CodeBlazeFate R2 is absolutely not a "sequel". It's simply the second half of a 50eps format in a time where people are reticent to invest money or time in a "long" series. Had it been made long ago, it wouldn't have been split. Just like those double 12-13eps series with a 6or12months gap.
At this moment, I simply can't "judge" the story: what has appeared just because but could still be justified later, the story, etc. There is no epilogue, not even an end. This multi-cliff-hangers episode (who was very much true to the series spirit) was just the equivalent of a mid-series episode supposed to redefine the intrigue.
Ex: ConRevo has no meaning alone, just like ConRevo Song.
Or to put it simply: try to "rate" Zeta by breaking it in its "two seasons". Idem for books like The Lord of the Rings (published in three times).

As for those derivated movies, they weren't designed as part of the story I mentionned above. It is nothing more than a "bouche-trou" (literally, hole-filler, but what I mean with that is that it was made only to temporize once the whole story had been told). So, there is no reason to use them to discern the goods and bads of the series named Code Geass.

PS: where did I write I liked it ? I must erase this lie XD
PPS: also, always wait a bit after my post. Due to the limited 3DS memory, I must break the posting in a few pieces.

CodeBlazeFate said:

You might have to excuse R2 at points. It was...heavily rewritten upon a time slot change so it's beyond not in its original intended form.

Don't deny it. It's too cool for you to dislike thanks to that coolness factor you raved about for every episode.

Thank you for this important information. I know the effects of such senseless change thanks to Victory.
The thing is that I had to keep track of the coolness factor because as myself, most of those things would have only angered me. XD I'm quite insensitive to coolness myself, and I especially don't think it should have such a big place in a story who takes itself so overly seriously. Cool touches here and there would have tuned the recipe better. (in things like Cobra or Gurren Lagann, overload of coolness is perfectly fine).
I didn't hate it (probably impossible for me) but I really disliked it. Sorry. (though, I still want to see how it will be able to untie itself from all it started, plus this ancient civilization who usually works on me)
(also, just read that it was developed since the beginning as a 50 series, then they changed it mid-way by pushing the broadcast of 24-25 later and cutting @way the 2nd part)

That cliffhanger was insane. Gotta love that music by Kotaro Nakagawa. I usually feel it is never good to debunk a show based on its sequels though, if so, then this show would get a 2 by the time you're done with those god awful Akito films. Glad you're enjoying it so far though.

@Rei366 Alright then. Still, R1 as a story is more than enough to rate as it's sold as it's own product first and a piece of the puzzle second, despite the cliffhanger, not to mention that a lot happens within the story, for better or worse given the contrivances and holes. That's like not evaluating Aldnoah.Zero before you finish season 2, though both are worse than either season or Geass.

V.V really struck the core of Lelouch's rebellion, one move was all it took to ruin everything.
