Anybody wants a happy ending?

[eriol33.livejournal.com]

Hmm just a random thought.

Since the appearance of Orange-kun with his Geass-canceller-Geass, I always thought if only he had appeared sooner, Euphie's dead might not happen. If sunrise wants to end Geass in happy-ending atmosphere, I think they could introduce some character that could use Time-rewinding Geass or whatsoever so LeLouch could cancel his geass on euphie.

Anyway that's just a random thought from me, after watching the ep 17 and how angsty it turned out to be. Sunrise most likely won't introduce some cheesy plot twist, but again we never know, it's more suitable for fanfiction lol. xD

But again, I think Euphie's death is the saddest thing in Geass, anybody actually wished she hadn't died?

I'm glad that Euphie died. If no-one died, i bet this sounds cruel... But i probably wouldn't be as interested in the series. It's good that it has twists like that :D

Rewinding time should not be possible with Geass. Even Rolo cannot actually stop time.

But yeah, Euphemia's death was almost as bad as Shirley's... :(

Just wanted to let you know that your lj cut doesn't work. :D;;;;

I'd really rather they not undo Euphie's death. It's so vital to Lelouch's character development and the themes of the series -- sacrifice, bearing the consequences of your actions, and the whole "you will win this war, but what will you lose in the process?" Although I wouldn't be adverse at all to them going back and killing her off more believably. "lol, oops, bad joke" does not quite cut it.

AAAAH SPOILERS JUST APPEARED ON MY FLIST! DDDDD:

Gah.

Please, please fix that lj cut. ;-;

[I realise I sound a bit bitchy. Sorry. I don't actually mind that much ^^;;... it'll be a while before I have a life that doesn't consist of hw again, but still. Spoilers are never good. ^^]

>hmm how about Memory-looking-Geass that enable Suzaku peeking into Lelouch's memory and witnessed the truth by himself (like done by C.C.)?

That was what I thought... Since Suzaku would NEVER believe Lulu unless he lies, the best way to know the truth is to see it with his own eyes... If Lulu tells Suzaku the truth about Euphie, 'I accidentally Geassed her...' Suzaku might be so pissed off and scream, 'It's just another excuse!! Stop lying to me!! Ha!! Accident!! How could that possibly happen??!!' *continues stamping on Lulu's head*

It's so sad that sometimes the truth are twisted into another version because of our suspicion and doubts...

>I'm sure it will add more angst to the plot.

Oh YES~~ Then Suzaku will be sobbing the Oh-I'm-such-a-jerk-a-moron-what-have-I-done soap opera... XDDD

call me cold hearted, coz this isn't the first time i saw anime based war theme, never felt once for crying into character death. There will be a cost to gain something, that was a principle of war

please fix your lj-cut.

I'm more sad about Shirley dieing than Euphie...Shirley had come around and was really the only one that had come to understand Lulu's pain and would have been a nice support for him.

I don't know what the heck Sunrise is thinking... every time they could have a happy ending they've have an, "ooop wait! "and that's when everyone dies" plot twist.

Euphie: "Can't we all just get along? ^_^"

And they all lived happily ever aft-

Sunrise: No wait! *shoots Euphie in the head*

Shirley: Lulu! I love you anyway...even tho you killed my dad. Let's get married and have a million babies :D

And they all lived happily ever aft-

Sunrise: No wait! *shoots Shirley in the head...um stomach*


Suzaku: I hate you and everything you stand for!...but I guess I could help you out a bit...

And they all lived happily ever aft-

Sunrise: No wait! *shoots Suzaku in the ....other head* XD I wish *Betray plot twist of DOOOM!*

I'm gonna be really pissed if they end up just killing off Nunally...But they can't be THAT sadistic...can they?

I can see Euphie's death. It was a plot device, I suppose. A sad one, but as far as character development and stuff goes it fits.

I was admittedly more depressed about Shirley. >_>;

[kaiserkehl.livejournal.com]

I'm a fan of happy endings, almost always but with Code Geass... I don't know, I'm not sure it'd be fitting.

I'm evil so I'm just going to go out and say it. Euphie's death (and the epic bloody way she died) is probably the best thing to happen to anime since Spike Speigal. Anime had become so boringly predictable with their plots and plot twists. Nowadays you can see the most cliche things coming from a mile away. But what happened to her, the sweetest most caring mary sue character since God knows who, flipping out, picking up a machine gun and murdering people...BEST.TWIST.IN.DECADES. That proved to me that this genre of storytelling hasn't fallen into the pit of jaded predictability yet. That there are stories still out there that can make you sit straight up in your chair and go "WTF!"

tl;dr: bravo sunrise for not being afraid to get your hands irrevocably dirty.

Shirley's death seemed kind of pointless to me. Don't get me wrong, great stuff excellent drama. It just seemed like another big middle finger in Lelouch's face that was already accomplished with Euphie. But I didn't care for her too much so I don't much care that she's dead.

I'm all for happy endings but at this point I dunno if Code Geass could manage it.

I don't want Lulu to die, though. That would be too Death Note-y for my liking.

I think that, seeing as so many innocent people (Euphie, Shirley, etc.) have already died there is no room for a "happy" ending per se, but there is room for a bittersweet one.

Don't think Sunrise will let everyone live, though.

I think the ending would be a neutral one. Both sides will lose a lot, and nothing will be gained.

Happy ending for whom?

Even if the Euphemia incident was averted and her SAR succeeds, there will be Japanese who are not satisfied with that. The Emperor would still be doing his nebulous Ragnarok plan, and so forth. If the events of R2 never happened, a number of characters would still be alive, but some would be worse off - Rolo would still be an emotionless assassin, C.C. not any closer to her wish or even having someone understand her, Kaguya would not have met or befriended Tianzi, etc.

I don't really belive in happy end... and I'm really afraid, that the major part of characters I love will die. (waaa.. I want Ougi and Viletta live happily together!!) But.. I somehow don't really think that Lelouch will die like a hero. Waa.. I want him alive in the end. And I really want Suzaku to become the ruler of Japan doing everything to be better than his father. =)

If Lelouch dies, I think he will die happy after completing his objectives to the best of his abilities.

So a bittersweet but overall positive ending is what I can see if his death is necessary.
