code_geass ◾ ◾ OMG! Something just hit me

For those of us who have ever taken a Japanese Lit Class...

It's just another display of Japanese Culture

I remembered something my Japanese Lit. teacher Setsuko told our class. "The Japanese love Losers."
She told us this while showing us a statue in Ueno Park of some Samurai General who lost some battle rather Spectacularly

Code Geass is kinda like The Tale of Heike!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tale_of_Heike

The Heike Clan rose to power at the very end of the Heian Period...and then were completely wiped out 50 years later in an epic battle. The Japanese LOVE this tale. There are epic songs and plays about the tragic ending of this clan.

And taking Japanese Lit from Setsuko I recall the many books we read which are considered great and classic bits of Japanese lit... mostly all of them have sad and or tragic ends...but they also had a way of being sort of deep and thoughtfull

This is just another display of Japanese Culture and their love of tragic, yet epic and biter sweet endings ^_^

OMFG, talk about Mono no Aware (Lit: Things of sorrow) Which is considered one of the staples of Japanese Society "Understanding the Beauty of Sorrow"...The cherry blossoms are only beautiful because they last for so short a time, so we must appreciate them while they are in full bloom for any sudden gust wind will blow them out of existence. It is sad, but alas, such is life...

or something like that

I'm so sending Her the last ep and be like "Here's you're Mono no Aware Setsuko." If I was still in her class I'd wight a report on it and she's so give me an 'A' XD

So even though Lulu "died... maybe" an tragic death at the hight of power...there's so gonna be a huge statue of him built in the middle of New Tokyo XD
