Code Geass R2

Postby BelkanAce » Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:28 am

So, the first Episode offered little explanation of the events after Zero was shot but made up for it with bunny suits and some fighting.
CC was shot once again (a hobby perhaps?) to no effect (if the guys did know about her like they claimed, why else lure her out, shouldn't they know its useless to shoot her?)
All in all a nice start of what seems to be the highlight of this season.
Will the guy with cannelonis on his head reveal more that a hideous laughter? Will the show be flodded by numerous "new" charachters each with its own custom knightmare but without personality? Are the crazy doctor and the girl still engaged? Will we see that kickass machine with the shoulderlaserz of doom again?

Are we going to see more fanservice?


Questions, questions, quetions.....

LOL, elongated characters!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean. At first when I saw Code Geass I thought it would be the biggest piece of shit I had seen to date, because the characters all looked anorexic to the extent that they looked to me like Japanimated stick figures. Turns out apart from the character design the show was really good.

It seems that you are already familiar with the CLAMP artists eye disorder but if you haven't read Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (a clamp manga), take a look at it. Sometimes the characters look sooo elongated (even more so than the usual). It is quite ridiculous.

Just take a look at this:

Those characters belong in a Mutant Basketball Manga. (the blond guy isnt even the tallest one from the main cast)

All I can say is that Lulu's arm movements are getting more and more...annoying.

I noticed that too. I guess it just looks weird because he doesn't have his cape on and his arms seems crazy long (I blame CLAMP).

I always crack up when Lelouch engages in his Zero pose and he starts to curl his fingers up like he's got carpel tunnel syndrome.

Yeah I don't know what the hell is up with that Zero voice. Sounds cheesy.

On another note, it sorta pisses me off that everyone and their grandma knows about/has Geass.

I know in the first season only he had geass...no every other person have geass...and some of them does something different...you'd think there are a bunch of double letter named girls running around just giving away these awsome powers...:)

Whenever I here Zero's voice I would think "...Jun Fukuyama = boring"
seriously...if you just check anime's cast list for every season as of late...you'll see his name on either the main chara or the supporting chara...this is getting ridiculous...whatever happened to other veteran seiyuus
>_< I'm bored of Fukuyama...

Have you heard Zero's voice in the dub? it makes you cringe to think he's supposed to be smart.

Yeah, I can't stand Zero's voice in the Japanese version. He sounds like some bully trying to make himself sound tougher.

Jun Fukuyama only has two types of voice; one is wimpy type you can find in xxxholic and this kind of voice you can find in code gayass...

I don't know why he gained so much popularity that he can be in almost every shows of several seasons when there's other seiyuu that can make more variety of voices =/

Hmmm I understand what ya mean about the longer characters, but it doesnt bother me and I dun really try to search for things I dislike about it rather just watch it for the plot which looks to be going in a wierd direction atm.
