Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

[animus]

I just re-watched the shoe part, and re-watched the beach swimsuit picture book episode as well and I have to say the skin tone looks similiar. Cornelia's pale, but not as pale as Euphie.

The lightning of the blacked out elevator could have an effect on it as well I'd guess.

But then again, that scene could've been completely innane and just there to show how much of a hurry some of these people are to get into the elevator.

@RZ: I thought they were just shooting at everyone Britannian or Eleven, due to the fact that during an intercom transmission one of his subordinates were like "But, Captain a ________ is down there" and he responded "Don't mind the local government, these are orders from The Majesty". And before the scene where Lelouch gets the Geass he noticed the insane pile of bodies were of both sides.

Yes animus. But a particular Black Knight shot at Lelouch and Rollo. I think it was prior to Lelouch falling.

@Ryll - Indeed the art style is similar to xxxholic, but even in your description, the majority of CLAMP art tends towards more rounded and shoujo (and bishounen) style characters. I just gave CCS as a majority example.

@Yuki and to anyone who wants it - Here is the no text version of the Kallen wallpaper I made.

Hmm.... Did Kallen get brainwashed too or what? When her and Lelouch encountered each other it seemed like they didn't know each other. Then at the end the Kallen and others arrive infront of Lelouch asking for his order. Maybe it was an act?

I think she purposely encountered him that way. As someone who knows Zero's true identity, as well as head of his private army, I think she and C.C., if anybody in the Black Knights, would know what happened to Lelouch. Also, at [Eclipse]8:46, she handed him an ear piece under her handkerchief. Her saying "sorry, I let him get away" further leads me to think she wasn't brainwashed like he was.

[Kraco]

I think that was pretty obvious. It was probably supposed to be some elaborate plot to get him to a location of an easier extraction. Still, they knew as well that Lelouch is a bait so things could go wrong in myriad ways.

[narutosharingan]

The one military guy even mentioned that they took the risk of bringing the bait to the outskirts of the city. I'll bet they figured that the BKs would be more likely to steal away Lelouch when farther away from the city.

The person shooting at Lelouch and Rollo was probably missing on purpose to help push him where they wanted him.

Well after a few days at my lake house and coming back to a completely dead wireless network I finally got a chance to watch this today.

Great episode not at all what I was expecting but it was still a great episode overall. I can't say there is to much to say about it though. They basically just started up the new series the same way as the last one and really were left with a ton of questions but no real answers. I still can't wait for next weeks episode though.

Quick question on subbers at this point I'm thinking I'll go with eclipse due to speed/quality. Anyone have any other suggestions for the current groups doing it?

[Ryllharu]

DDBen, gg did speedsub the first episode out, so if you're really chomping at the bit to watch the week's episode, you should download theirs. However, they still seem to be recovering from their little internal strife, so the subs are not quite what they once were. Eclipse is usually insanely fast with great quality (largely due to streamlining the process and some very talented members that came from all kinds of other groups when they first formed), but on occasion, Eclipse can be a little slower at times.

Don't even bother with anyone else's subs.

If gg wins the speedsub, get theirs. They are still trustworthy and more than adequate. Otherwise, download and archive Eclipse.

Bah - So I totally broke and watched the first episode (which was awesome, by the way) but now I shall rely on my willpower to wait till it's over, and marathon it at the end. Damn you IRC chats! XD

[KrayZ33]

is it really a problem to keep in mind what happened the episode before?

because its not like they make a flashback @ the beginning for nothing

i couldn't wait another ~3 months :/

[Ryllharu]

I give Sapphire two weeks....

I'm already going insane waiting for the next episodes. Come on, we could use another voice in the discussion.

[Sapphire]

Kray - For me I'd rather sit down and enjoy it all at once rather than just getting 20 mins once a week. (And agonizing the entire time)

Ryllharu - You're on! I just enjoy it more when I can marathon something suspenseful and epic, but if I break before the alloted time, I'll come back and discuss. XD

[KrayZ33]

btw does anyone know when the whole opening song will come out?... alrdy downloaded the TVsize but its only 1:30 long, its kinda annoying because its over so fast :/

AND I WANT EPISODE 2, NOW... i want to see CC in Zeros arms <3
btw don't you guys think that Lelouch was kinda unimpressed by CC's kiss? i was like " WEEEEEE they kissed!!!" and lelouch: "get a way... WOMAN! i have to kill"

it made me sad somehow... even though CC has alrdy kissed him in the last episode of season 1, this was much too early

I marathoned last season two times in the past three months in anticipation (and when I got bored). You can always marathon the series later, when it is all said and done to get a better understanding of certain scenes. In a series like...Itazura na Kiss will probably be, it wouldn't matter if you went back, but series like School Days and Geass both deserve marathon rewatches. You get a better understanding of previous scenes because you now know what happens or where something leads, and you're looking out more for strange incidents.

Like the short discussion of who's legs those were wearing only one heel. Is it important? Now, I'm not so sure, but if it does turn out to be, I certainly would have caught it in a rewatch if I had not tried to make something of it here.

In short, there's no need to torture yourself waiting months. The most vocal members of these threads are going to marathon it before the final episode this season, after the final episode this season, or between the final episodes if they do another break like last season.

EDIT: After this post, I give Sapphire a week and a half.

[kenren]

Well, introducing a younger brother of Lelouch is beyond my expectations. I'm glad Lelouch had his "leader-like voice" back. Opening theme was okay though .

[Sapphire]

Ryllharu - Haha. I almost never rewatch anime, and the only exception is Naruto, because after it's all done typically don't care about small details, but I might remarathon Geass 1. (Though I usually get VERY bored when rewatching stuff) Besides if I know what happens it spoils the surprise, and if I watch it all at once I remember what happened previously anyway.

I'll watch it if they end up doing a break. XD And I'm not torturing myself. Yet.

[animus]

I marathonned Season 1 again in anticipation of R2, and it was great. Only series I've ever rewatched were HxH, FMP:Fumoffu and Geass.

[RyougaZell]

I've rewatched the hack series...

Need Code Geass DVD... (and One Piece DVD).


And for the sake of conversation... no one else said anything about my question regarding the Black Knight shooting Lelouch and Rollo
