What draws you to Geass?

Why yes we are a poll. And yes I do live here. After reading something verity_isle said about people watching Geass for the lulz only and following most of the anime blogs, I asked myself why I watch Geass. I realized the answer has changed from the time I started watching the series to just after the Mao arc, when Geass suddenly became my *show* as I once viewed my other fave Naruto. So as usual, I have two questions to pose:


1. Why did you originally start watching Geass? When might be cool to know too since I know we have people here since October and others who recently marathoned the whole thing. It seems to me when a person started watching Geass partially determines the why.

2. Why do you stick with Geass AKA what do you love about it?


For me, I started with Geass sheerly because 1.)it was Clamp, 2.)Lelouch looks like Kamui and 3.)I love Kamui no matter what hell he puts me through. I did originally just watch it for the WTFery, although I always adored Lelouch. Now I admit I'm into the political intrigue and just how Lelouch is going to screw himself deal with things next. I might add more to this later but I'd rather hear some others first.

It's Air Gear + mecha, I tell you.

I was wondering why the mecha designs seemed familiar, and realized that it's the same guy who did the mecha for Eureka 7.

[existentially]

Exactly. X) Meanwhile, Air Gear is like Tenipuri on wheels. A whole new level of crack for all.

Cool. :D I finally saw that a short while back; I thought I should give it a try, since so many people I know said it was awesome.

Yeah, when I first saw Lancelot in the OP and then the battle scenes, I was, "OMG AG?!" The only big difference is that AG has boobs and Tenipuri doesn't. Woe, Tenipuri. (We will ignore swimsuit!Ryuuzaki-sensei.)

And while Lancelot is on rollerskates, Eureka's mecha are on skateboards. XD
