I know Code Geass is the anime equivalent to One Tree Hill or whatever teenage crap CW plays but it was still a fun show to watch at some parts. S2 though is off to a really bad start.

I absolutly loved how the ending of the first episode of the new season was almost idenitcal to the ending of the first episode of the first season...I LIKED that

Perhaps they could be smart and continue right were the first season left off.

who says thats smart? you? thats what was expected, I like when shows are "Unexpected" and surprising, I like that they are taking their time with the story.

The fact that they put him back in school is beyond stupid.

Why is it stupid?

You just don't do that right after what happen in episodes 24 and 25. Seriously the entire "I forgot I'm Zero so lets go back to school is stupid"

I completely disagree, you are entiltled to your opinion I suppose but to just out and out call it stupid when you don't even know WHY he is back in school and what went on yet seems a little early....you can't really pass judgement yet imho.

I don't think it could have had a much better start, and before you say something like, "well you're just some teenage fanboy" I'm 26, I don't even know what "One-Tree Hill" is, and I just recently finished the first season.

Doing something for the sake of being unexpected dosen't mean its good.

A guy who lead a huge terrorist organization that almost had a succsesful revolution.Is now back at school as if nothing happened. While he somehow has amnesia, there are quite a few who know who he is and don't try to contact him. A trained soldier that is now masquerading as a teacher to get back at said revltionaire. Chinese government officials who dress like their from the 16th century. None of this sounds silly and dumb to you?

I don't need to know how it happened to know its stupid. Regardless there are many people who can either kill Lulu or tell him what happened but they don't. Did they all lose their memory's also. Amnesia is unoriginal and a sign of horrible writing.

I never said you were a teenager. I just said that Code Geass is like 90210, Melrose Place, or any teenage drama. Just in anime forum.

Plus its not like they are really taking their time. Code Geass was not always meant to have 2 seasons. The 2nd half was pretty dragged out.

Grimhouse Diva · April 7th, 2008, 08:14 AM

As much as I'm glad they finally have season 2 starting now, I was a bit disappointed with the first episode and found myself going 'I waited that long for this?'

It felt like an alternate version of the first season as if we're starting all over again, but with different direction and already acquainted characters. I enjoyed seeing the characters again, especially Kallen, but that was about it. Hopefully the next few episodes will freshen things up and clarify what happened at the end of season 1.

germanturkey · April 7th, 2008, 08:20 AM

^^ tell me about it. i waited three weeks from when i finished s2... like i said before, they better fill in the plot holes in next ep or two or else this show is going down the dumps..

Sushikins · April 7th, 2008, 08:28 AM

I've waited 2 months, and to be honest, I'm quite glad that they didn't just straight away start where S1 left off, just would've felt odd since it would've just started without the built up tension that episode 25 gave off. Now they're going to dangle it in front of our faces for a week or two before revealing what happened in episode 25, even though episode 1 already gave some good hints.

And thats a valid Opinion, its what I was expecting too, but im not upset that didn't happen either.

Agreed, but this was unexpected AND fun to watch, and it fits.

A guy who lead a huge terrorist organization that almost had a succsesful revolution.Is now back at school as if nothing happened.

he was going to school like nothing was happening during the first season, how does this seem out of the ordinary to you, if anything it'd be Easier for him to do it now...much easier less fighting and he doesn't even remember that he lead the orginization.

While he somehow has amnesia,

Heck he caused himself to forget things while he was saving nunally in the first season, this isn't even remotely strange and its well withing the realm of possible things C.C. or V.V. can do....heck maybe he just bumped his head (though I doubt that)

there are quite a few who know who he is and don't try to contact him.

quite a few? like who? Kallen yeah...assuming C.C. or V.V. didn't mess with her the way I think they messed with Suzaku and Lelouch...I mean she was right there with them that sure is a possibility, or maybe she decided that Lelouch's only option was to go underground for a while.

A trained soldier that is now masquerading as a teacher

That I don't particularly get, I'm sure it will be explained soon though.

to get back at said revltionaire.

what? where did you get that from?

Chinese government officials who dress like their from the 16th century.

yes because the way everyone else dresses (specifically the Brit's) is "Normal" come on you're gonna rag on the way some people are dressed now?

None of this sounds silly and dumb to you?

No, none of it sounds dumb...it can't be dumb yet cause we don't know why 3/4ths of it is even happening.

I don't need to know how it happened to know its stupid.

so what you are saying is you decided it was stupid before even watching the episode because it wasn't what you expected? I mean, thats fine if thats what you want to do, I like to watch my anime or read my manga first before deciding I think its stupid, what you're doing right now is like reading the first panel of any Manga and saying "Wow this is stupid" In my opinion doing what you're doing is stupid.

Regardless there are many people who can either kill Lulu or tell him what happened but they don't.

you don't know that, Kallen Easily could have been manipulated....the whole point is we don't KNOW what happened yet, there will probably be a good reason for Lelouch to have had to have had his memories erased and to add implanted ones.

Did they all lose their memory's also. Amnesia is unoriginal and a sign of horrible writing.

we don't freaking know what happened and amnesia fits in this story, especially with the way Geass's work, hell maybe Lelouch's Father has a Geass that dos something similar to that...he does have V.V. with him in the ending, It's entirely possible that what had been up until this ending is what his father wanted for him....C.C. has probably been trying to "Awaken" zero for quite sometime now.

I never said you were a teenager. I just said that Code Geass is like 90210, Melrose Place, or any teenage drama. Just in anime forum.

well I just don't see that being the case, Clanned or one of the other "Drama's" would be much more like 90210 then this is, I just don't see how that comparision works at all.

Plus its not like they are really taking their time. Code Geass was not always meant to have 2 seasons. The 2nd half was pretty dragged out.

Again I don't think so but you are entilted to your own opinion I suppose, I'm gonna end this argument though, apparantly you have chosen to not like this before ever giving it a chance, thats fine, I don't want to do that though, I'd rather watch it, and since i DID like the first episode I doubt I'll be disappointed.

Blugh. I didn't enjoy the first episode overly much.

germanturkey · April 7th, 2008, 01:35 PM

my own theory on what happened.

emotoaster · April 7th, 2008, 02:08 PM

I'm thinking V.V. did something to withhold the Geass, maybe that is her power since Suzaku didn't get aGeass even though he was with V.V.

I liked how the episode was a mirror but all these unanswered questions are killing me. I just really want to know what the deal is with Rollo and where is Nunnally.

Very glad to see Zero back though, I'm going to guess that next episode is going to be a prison break. That would be pretty awesome.

My theory is that Lelouch's Father is the one who controls V.V. and therefore HE has a Geass...thats why Suzaku doesn't get one...I seem to remember him making a comment early on in the first season too...as if he already knew Lelouch was Zero long before anything else happened.

The Emperor's Geass is confirmed in the opening animation.

was it really? gah gonna rewatch again.

Edit: Its confirmed that he HAS one not what it is yet though

I really liked it, I think it was a good way to start it back. Initially I was shocked at how this episode was going to be, but after seeing it, I’m really happy.

I’ve been reading some of the comments and no offense, but I think some people are jumping to conclusions. It IS only the first episode, I think it would be a little confusing if they just continued where they left off, especially for someone who doesn’t own the DVDs.

I think its pretty clear (at least to me) that the explaining is going to come pretty soon, maybe not in the next episode, but soon.
