Opening and Ending (request and discussion)

Well, I was going to post a lot of separate entries, but I thought that would be inconvenient, so here I am putting everything I want to post in a single compact post. Haha. sorry about that.

First of all, May I request cleaned shots of the ending animation? I heard CLAMP did it (and if I read the credits right). Someone did the same thing for the last ED, if I remember correctly.

Secondly, here is my reaction to the uber epic new opening:
The Opening moved me to tears. There was Lulu floating... and then he takes off his contact lens... haha... It made me so gay for lelouch. Then there was the ransom Lulu-CC-Suzaku-Nunally-Schneizel flashing, then "Code Geass" flashing in a very, very nice manner.

The floating Kallen, Gino and Anya was beautiful, although Nina kinda ruined the moment. Then the sword of Akasha thing with the Knightmare taking off started making my eyes misty and all... haha.

...Nunally with that crane is pretty WTF.

...Everything is heart. <3 (at least that's the eclipse transliteration)

...looks like Lancelot's gonna have an upgrade with things from Guren. haha. Lloyd must be pleased with himself.

...The random black knights... flying was so epic. Although they were moving too fast to notice. Then Kaguya in all her cuteness flies by. Then come the chinese federation folks all winking at us, then Cornelia looking at Guilford (I smell pairing), and then Cecille and Lloyd, smiling! *dies*

...Then next comes Milly, and Rivalz and Nunally's guardian (forgot the name). And then there was Orange-kun looking at Viletta, and Viletta looking disgusted, by the way. Kanon and Nina (What, no Schneizel?!?), and finally, Loli Anya flight. Rolo drops in, and then Sayoko gets squished by Cheese-kun and that other plush Kallen was wearing and turns into a super ninja maid. lol. Arthur zooms by for half a second and Gino flips his cape... and then, CC smiles from a building. :)

Cecil and Llyod smiling makes me giggle and smile all inside me.

Sayako's transformation into super neenjah sayako pretty much makes me lol all over.

Also, Cornelia looking at Guilford = DO WANT TO MAKE ICON (and I did *points to icon)

End notes: Opening = EPIC WIN

One of the first posts has some screencaps, but I think the animators timed the credits oddly so you couldn't get clean shots of the whole images. I'm betting these illustrations will be added as postcards to a future DVD release (like the first set were).

Happy OP is disconcerting...

I love the opening, too! One of my favorites so far in terms of animation sequence... It's such a happy OP because almost everyone is smiling... XD But I can't get used to seeing an angsty Gino. >_<

I can't wait to see the new Lancelot and Guren Nishiki in action!

I too love the opening! It's so... happy, like veryone else has said xD
The random flying past of characters was love. Even Anya smiled! But Gino? Why is Gino angsty? D=

I love the ending illustrations too <3 The Nunally one is one of my favorites, as it the X-like one at the end of Suzaku and Lulu.
BTW, am I the only one who thought Lulu looked like Kaname in the second-to-last ED pic?

Kanon appearing was all I needed to love the opening. ♥

The ending was just great. Love all of the new illustrations. Finally got a Schneizel in there along with other characters for once, hehe!

Yeah, that's how I feel...I mean, I like it, but it's kind of ironic that it started on such an unhappy episode...

No kidding :/ You know with an opening like that either bad things are going to follow or they're gearing for a really dramatic ending that needs something happy.

I can't decide yet cause I'm still in shock over Shirley and Rollo >_>

The happy opening has me worried... I'm seriously glad they have Ali Project with a not so happy ending for the credits to balance things out.

They just build you up with happy music, sparkles, and rainbow spewing cranes only to tear you down with FREAKING cliffhangers, nostalgic and saddening pictures, and depressing, almost morbid sounding music.

Thanks again Sunrise XD

I do like the opening though. The images are a nice change from previous openings. The happy sounding music and bright colors just has me concerned though >_>

No you are not. I also couldn't helping seeing a blond Doumeki in Schneizel.

I wonder why Suzaku wasn't in this opening much? O__O (or is it just me?)

Did anyone notice that Gino's (the shot of him, after the Arthur shot)expression goes from a "content" look on his face to >| (a bit of an angry look?)?

I lol'd at the super ninja maid. She's kick-ass.
