Eh, I'm actually not surprised that Geass is popular, considering it's story line. It's the type of plot that seems popular these days in television. I mean, there are plenty of American TV shows that are very similar, just not animated (ie. Lost, House, etc).
Argh, Mort d'Arthur, I hate you. D: And all your variations. I still think Geass has time to pull off a Mordred comparison, even if Anya isn't related to the Emperor. They've gone through with nearly every other comparision so far, and with the current pace of the story telling, it wouldn't be surprising if it even happened in the next episode or something. I still want to see Gino fall for Kallen and then die.
As for Lelouch... Yeah, I'd totally be disappointed if the series didn't go through with the tragic fall. Of course, if they pulled of something else, while making it as fabulous as episode 21, I'd applaud Taniguchi. But being a fan of classical literature, I'd be happy to see a modern day (and Japanese) equivalent. I'm sure Aristotle would be proud too.
My pet theory is that Taniguchi really is Ribbons (or at least thinks like him). Partially for the lulz, and partially for the trolling. Geass has been a good game so far. Keep it up, Taniguchi. |D
