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]

Anyway, I'd choose either the cliffhanger at ep. 23 or our current eps 24 and 25. I don't have a problem with the cliffhanger because I don't view this as an ending at all. Even CG's creators have said they consider the so-called season 2 just a continuation of s1. I think it's best to approach CG as one 50 episode season that just happens to have a break in the middle. Of course, you could say they didn't have to torture us by throwing a cliffhanger and making us wait for the rest of the series, but hey it's really suspenseful isn't it? :) Keeps up the interest in the series while we wait.

If we're talking about the series ending, then I would choose the "continue on its current wave" answer because there is simply way too much stuff that needs resolution for this series to end in 25 episodes. It would be a bad, bad ending if they tried it. I'm glad they didn't.

...Do you mean the first season or the second season?

[uprise.livejournal.com]

Except not all of us knewwwww it ended~! *die*

Anyway to LJ-cut this poll, just a little? D:

[zalem.livejournal.com]

It's not over. Only season one is over.

[patbjorke.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness. I need more Geass D:

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

code geass should be watched in one batch so that you dont' get the feeling of wtf-ness and omg-when-is-next-week-coming :D

[uprise.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got that shortly after I posted but was too lazy to fix it. ;P

But still~! It makes me not want to watch it with all the "IT'S SO DEPRESSING" nonsense. 4cryingiam. D:

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.

I'm talking about right now, this very moment. Has no relevance to seasons.

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

I didn't say it HAS ended. I'm asking you how you think it should happen. I myself am not even sure if it has ended or not.

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

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.

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

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.
they did THAT? *obviously hasn't watched it yet*

oh god, what is it with the infernal affairs reference ~__~

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.

[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. ;)

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

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.

[kawaii-madoushi.livejournal.com]

Hmmm I would've been pleased if episode 25 didn't end on that cliffhanger. I believe they should've wrapped things up a little better. When you come to think about it, they interrupted a HUGE battle. It just feels weird...

I wouldn't have minded.... IF the second season was to premiere let's say... one month from now. However, as far as I know, the air date hasn't even been announced. It ruins the hype! Oh! And to make things worse, I'm betting that the first episode will be... A RECAP! -_-

*goes back to watch Gurren Lagann*

[teletha.livejournal.com]

To me, there wasn't much of a reason to wait so long for two so very wtf!? episodes. I guess they can continue how they are. I don't really care about the cliff hanger. I just am offended I had to wait so long to watch it and have to wait indefinitely for a resolution. :3

I think they'll let people suffer for a while. Gundam 00 is starting soon. Where Gundam goes, so goes their pimping, whoring and leeching from fans.

[kawaii-madoushi.livejournal.com]

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

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

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

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

Noooo to hell with bloody RECAPS!

I mean they didn't interrupt battles to hold out the suspense of Gundam Seed, did they? It's kind of annoying me too. It's a little too Lost-esque in it's ridiculous amount of mysteriousness.

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

i will soon, but... yeah XD

[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

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

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?
