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.

1) I was actually kinda of put off by Geass as first. I thought is some complete BANZAI JAPAN anime, not really worth my time. But I finally decided to watch it because of some people on my friends list and did a marathon over Christmas. I'm glad I did, because it's really not what I had expected at all! (and at first I totally thought Lulu = Kamui and Suzaku = Syaoran based on designs, now it's more of a Athrun/Kira thing with Suzaku being Noodle Jesus) So that's pretty much why, and I was hooked right away.

2) THE ANIMATION QUALITY! Seriously, having good animation for a series really helps me enjoy it a lot. The quality is pretty much constant through out the past 19 episodes and that keeps me happy. I think the characters are all really interesting. I like to hate/make fun of Lulu and Suzaku, but they keep me interested and enjoying the episodes they're in. Of course the randomness sometimes with Cheese-kun, Mao and Pizza Hut brings the lulz. And Lloyd's hot voice is A+++!
As long as they don't start killing off random characters or just fuck something up, I can't find myself having anything but love and lulz for Geass.

I just want to say I now want fanart of Suzaku as Noodle Jesus. XD

You can't helped loling at a series that worships Pizza Hut and canonically dresses its characters as cats.

It should happen one of these days... the Japanese fan artists seem to have drawn everything else they possibly could!

Pizza Hut + cat cosplay = WIN AND LULZ.
Can't go wrong with that!

Just here to say that your icon is made of win. :D
