Code Geass Reruns

[gods-debris.livejournal.com]

The past 4 days I rewatched the entire Code Geass series (1st and 2nd) because my boyfriend had never seen it and Dan (one of his friends who has seen it) and I were making a lot of Code Geass references; and well... eventually my boyfriend's curiosity got the best of him and he decided he wanted to watch it.

But that's when I got an idea. I'm also a memeber of the Slayers anime community and a while back they had initiated a rerun schedule where they would watch an episode once every other day or once a week (I can't remember) and at the end of the day the person who set it up would post some screenshots from the episode and talk about some of their thoughts... what they forgot about, what they really liked, etc. Other members who decided to take part could post comments about what they liked as well.

So I was going to propose, as a community, we could rewatch the series. Perhaps one episode a week would be fine? It means it will take about a year to complete since there are 52 weeks in a year. In the first series there is a total of 25 episodes since 25 and 26 were combined into a 46 minute episode and in the second series there is exactly 25 episodes... meaning 50 total.

The rules are simple: if you choose to participate you do not move ahead of the schedule and watch the following episode. You must wait until the next week.

Lemme know if anyone is interested! Sorry about this sounding a bit wordy and rushed. I'm in a hurry but I wanted to get this out there because it was bugging me lol.

Like I said, that's not meant to be the final word on the matter either

Just an alternate way to look at it. If someone can afford to be less lenient because of it, there's no unfairness in making the same argument in the opposite direction. Same facts, two different interpretations.

But I definitely don't intend to suggest you shouldn't be frustrated by it (or by many other things). By all means, you're free (and welcome) to express your thoughts.

And it's not like I don't have my own list of frustrations and disappointments myself, even though they're probably never going to match yours 1:1...at least from what little I can already tell.

I absolutely agree about wanting to have a scene or two that would have set things up in a better way...which, unfortunately, goes for a great many developments in R2 even when they aren't actually contradicting something.

Giving us less explanations and less insight into the minds of Lelouch and the gang isn't a positive in my book.

Oh, I mostly meant that I didn't want to imply people couldn't be lenient and that I just enjoy the dissecting/bitching.

But yeah, the main point, which I possibly buried, was that I love these types of discussions and look forward to seeing more of them during the re-watch.
