POLL: How do you think Code Geass should end?

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

Well by now, we've all (if not most of us,) been shocked, hurt, dismayed, and utterly confused by the eps 24 and 25 special. I have my own thoughts and opinions on the matter of who actually 'won' and 'lost' that little scuffle (for those who know what I mean, think about the consequences of each person LOSING, watch and think about the last few minutes very carefully, and you should be able to figure out who COULDN'T HAVE lost, and who really did lose.)[Poll #1031662]

I know a lot of people are upset with how it ended but I've come to expect shock value and cliff hangers from Code Geass. As someone else has said the show is not really over so I just feel episode 25 was another episode in the whole scheme of things and not an ending at all.

And I think ending the show with both Lelouch and Suzaku (and Karen) aware who the other was with guns pointing at each other was the perfect way to end the first season. It just made me anticipate the next season even more. My only complaint is I wish Sunrise would have told us when the second season was starting.

This has nothing to do with seasons though. This has more to do with plot fulfillment. I'm going to laugh if Sunrise turn around and go, "Well actually there isn't a second season." There's wasn't one to Evangelion after all.

Was there ever an announcement -- outside of fan rumors -- of a second season of Evangelion? I don't believe there was, because GAINAX's budget was shot when Eva ended.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

Point. Sorry about that. I'm just playing with the idea of unresolved endings. I've been comparing CG to Evangelion, Lost, and Gundam Seed Destiny. I think it could really take any of those paths. If the second season has been confirmed (which I won't believe til I see it with my own eyes from THIS end, not a fan view or that of scanned images, but when I actually could be bothered getting a Newtype and catching up on the latest goss,) then the Evagelion theory goes out the window, but the other two theories remain.

At the end of the episode there is a message from Sunrise

Production for the sequel is going smoothly. Anticipate it!

Plus it has been confirmed before this as well.

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

Lol guess I kinda skipped the ending preview. I was in so much pain form the episode. Not Evangelion - perhaps Lost then?

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

Well Evangelion was by Gainax and the second season for Code Geass was confirmed. In fact I read somewhere that the ending to episode 25 would have been different if there was no second season.

And if they do screw the fans like that well I am just a casual fan of the series so I'll live. ;)

So your poll is more about the actual series ending. You might want to make that a bit more clear. It's hard to tell whether you are talking about the season or series.

I thought you were talking about the season so I voted cliffhanger. If we're talking about the series though....this show must go to 50 episodes. Even way back before they made the official announcement that CG would continue I had a feeling it would have to be longer then 25 episodes. There's just too much plot and if they tried ending it in 25 it would have been rushed and terrible.

There is definitely going to be more geass. At the end of episode 25 they even say so and it's been announced on the official site itself.

How do you think Code Geass should end?

I don't think it gets much clearer than that. Where did I say anything about seasons or what not?

[zalem.livejournal.com]

The way the whole poll and answers were phrased it sounded odd...particularly the "should have ended" instead of just "should end" language. It implies the series is already over. It isn't over, only the season is over. So I assumed you must have meant the season and not the series.

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

I was being grammatically correct. If people want the series to end as it is or even in episodes before that, then technically as episode 25 has aired, I need to use past tense 'have ended'. For those who are looking for a continuation, I need to use 'end' in the present tense. Sorry, I'm an English teacher and I like to be grammatically correct.

[kawaii-madoushi.livejournal.com]

Oh.. you haven't watched it yet? But... You need to experience the WTF feeling! XD

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

i will soon, but... yeah XD

[uprise.livejournal.com]

the wtfery is DEVASTATING. i hate cliffhangers like that, they make me want to die between one episode and the next. D:

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

I like cliffhangers, I just don't like waiting two or so months for a pile of them.

[uprise.livejournal.com]

depressing cliffhangers. <X3 happy cliffhangers. <3 LIKE, in sailor moon, where you know they're all going to live anyway but Usagi FIGHTS ON! That I can handle. Stuff like "THE MAIN CHARACTER DIED", I can't. D: I'm weak, 4srs.

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

Oh sorry for spoiling you I assumed people going into this thread would have watched the episodes by now. :(

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

no problem, i don't mind being spoiled on code geass much, because no one really goes talking about the whole episode around here, just bits and bobs :D

and anyways, i need to check all the posts and not watching it is my fault :D

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

HUGE SPOILER....

It ends with a big fat WTF cliffhanger! -.-; Oh and you know the ship in Titanic sinks right?

[uprise.livejournal.com]

But you knoooow they won't shoot each other. I mean, childhood friends. Nobody is that sadistic.

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

Yeah they both turn around and shoot Karen instead! ;p

[uprise.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA! OTP strikes back!

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

I think the only thing I am certain of is nether will die. But I guess in the end that amounts to the same thing. XD

A shot did go off though. :D

[uprise.livejournal.com]

I'm on board with that other person. They shoot Karen, fosho. SHE DED
