What do we really think of Code Geass characters?

R2 episode 21 thoughts

From the look of things, most people in the fandom are ok with Suzaku now and have spontaneously dissolved their almost universal hatred of him as long as Lelouch accepts him (to use him). Is this why some people stopped hating Rolo when Lelouch finally accepted him when he died? Do we all really have our own steadfast opinions of each character in the show or do we just go with Lelouch's flow whatever it may be? I'm not suggesting that we should hold lifelong grudges against anyone and stubbornly hold on to certain impressions, but it helps to look back and see if our changes in opinions are sometimes a bit too whimsical, not to be critical or anything. =)

I've never really hated any character, though there certainly are characters that I never cared too much for, i.e. Nina and Rolo. In general, characters that are "unlikable" in this series tend to fall into two categories for me: 1) sympathetic (i.e. Suzaku), and 2) not worth my time (i.e. Luciano). Then there's Nina who I want to give my sympathy to, but the story refuses to give us any backstory. -_-

If anything, I came to like Rolo more when he died NOT when LELOUCH accepted him but when ROLO accepted himself. I go gushy for self-affirmation.
