Awww, part of the fun was anticipating and laughing and fangirling over scans and bits of info in the lead-up to the second season.

It's kinda sad that dub watchers won't have to go "......WHAT. :O" at that bitch of a cliffhanger. Instead, it'll be "SUZAKUUUU! LELOUCHHHH! Oh hai new characters! (plus a character about-face in Suzaku)"

Granted, I have little room to speak, since I watched all of the first season in one go during New Year's...
