Hey, Remember...

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

...Back in S1 when we were first getting into the show and we were all so HAPPY? ;_;

Oh, there might be some spoilers lurking here. Just a warning.

That said, I think we need a break from "OMG SO SAD!" topics or "I'M GOING TO MISS GEASS!" Or the eternal "Is Lelouch dead or alive?" debate (Which I will probably never make my mind up on >.>) So, this is a topic about remembering the good moments of Geass.

So, here's some discussion questions, if you will: (You don't have to answer all of them. Just pick some, or come up with your own discussion, whatever.)

1. What got you into Geass?
2. At the time you got into it, how many episodes were already out?
3. What part got you hooked?
4. Who was your favorite character in S1? R2?
5. What was your favorite episode of S1? Of R2? Of ALL TIME?
6. What did you first love about the series, and did that aspect continue in R2?
7. Are you happy with the ending?
8. Zerozaku = FTW?
9.Going to marathon all episodes soon?
10. Will you continue to love this series forever and ever?
11. Code Geass = BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME?





So, here's my answers to get us started, if anyone wishes to reply to them:
1. Saw it on someone's siggy in a CLAMP forum in '07. Thought since it was drawn by CLAMP, it was worth a shot.
2. All of Season 1 was out at the time.
3. LULU'S EPIC EPISODE 1 GRIN, OMG.
4. Tie between Lulu and Suzaku. And Rolo for R2.
5. Stage 25, Turn 21. Of all time...Turn 21, probably.
6. Everyone's grey area morality. And OH FUCK YES did they continue it this season.
7. Allright with it. I cried BUCKETS when Lulu died, but whether he is actually dead or lives, I will be content.
11. GEASS, FUCK YEAH.

Go.

1. I love Clamp designs, and I have a big thing for clever heroes and mind control.
2. I waited for all the first season to come out. I thought I could avoid the intolerable suspense this way. I WAS WRONG !
3. The relationship between Suzaku and Lelouch + the feeling that there were a big revelation/event at each episode ! At the end of 03, I was already a hard fan.
4. Lelouch, and Lelouch again.
5. Hard to choose... I'd say 16 in season one and 17 in R2.
6. The strength of the emotional confrontations... I had the feeling it was a little less good in the end of the season but the last episode had some of the better ones.
7. I like the ending, except that CC should have had more importance - you can never be totally happy, I guess. I would have liked to have more what-did-they-become snapshots, too.
8. Yes !
9. On holidays, when I can do it with my younger sister
10. YES !!!
11. All time ? Not for me, but I can understand people who say yes !

[xdark-chainsx.livejournal.com]

1. Well...I saw a picture and saw that Lelouch had a devilish/cool look that I love in anime guys...The I realised that it was drawn by CLAMP, And many people said that it's nice...so, I started watching it... ^_^
2. All the episodes of season 1, and many fans are waiting for R2 at that time. I watched season 1 really fast and R2 wasn't even out yet when I'm done with it.
3. Um...the evil smirk Lelouch gave at the end of the first episode?
4. Lelouch forever and ever!!!!! >///< But I do like Shirley, C.C. and Rolo.
5. The last episode...(don't ask)and episode 21 and 13 of R2.
6. Lelouch and his plans, and ya, he become cooler than ever!!! ^_^
7. Yes, quite...I cried a lot when I was watching the last episode but I felt that the ending is good and epic! And I still believe that Lelouch is alive due to some hints...
8. LOL!!! TOTALLY!!! And also Spinzaku!!!
9.Ya, after my exams ^_^
10. YES!!!!! One of the best series I've ever watched!!!
11. TOTALLY!!! I'm going to scream out loud "I LOVE CODE GEASS!!!!!"

[starryburst.livejournal.com]

1. My lovely online sissy Ri. That bitch.

2. All of season one

3. Hmmm, I can't say, but is was right about episode 10. I got into Lelouch/C.C right away.

4. C.C or Lulu for season one. ROLO.

5. What are the episodes with Mao? The last one of season one, despite the cliff hangar. I liked the kissu. And anyone with Rolo in it.

6. Lulu/C.C, I guess? Yeah.

7. ..sort of. I wanted Gino and Suzaku to reconcile. I hate how my OT3 broke up.

8.It makes me bawwwww, but sorta

9. YES, ME AND KARA WOOH GOGOGOGO

10.YES. I KNOW YOU WILL TOO. DO IT OR I WILL CRY.

11.Y

[swts2-excelina.livejournal.com]

1. What got you into Geass?
Umm...that crack video of Code Geass and McDonalds xD But I was eventually gonna watch it anyway.

2. At the time you got into it, how many episodes were already out?
I had 3 more episodes of season 2 left to download and watch, so I was a latecomer.

3. What part got you hooked?
Finding out the voice actor of Cloud Strife does Suzaku was enough for me. And that Lelouch's one is done by Kazuki of Buso Renkin.

4. Who was your favorite character in S1? R2?
Lelouch and Suzaku all the way.

5. What was your favorite episode of S1? Of R2? Of ALL TIME?
I don't know.

6. What did you first love about the series, and did that aspect continue in R2?
Voice actors and characters. I'm not too big on mecha anime.

7. Are you happy with the ending?
After reading the theories about Lelouch's death I feel a bit better about it. It was a beautiful ending though.

8. Zerozaku = FTW?
I don't know :/

9.Going to marathon all episodes soon?
I'd like to but I have other anime to start watching too. D:

10. Will you continue to love this series forever and ever?
It will always have a place in my heart especially because of the ending.

11. Code Geass = BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME?
Best anime I've seen in a long time, yes :D

[swts2-excelina.livejournal.com]

extended answer to 3:
OMG the cliffhangers at the end of each episode. Who could STOP watching?!

[kazenokaitou.livejournal.com]

1. What got you into Geass?
- Actually, my friend had me watch the first episode shortly after it had just started being released on fansubs, but I didn't watch anymore after that until the following summer and then I was hooked.

2. At the time you got into it, how many episodes were already out?
- 23.

3. What part got you hooked?
- I don't even know. I just couldn't stop. LOL

4. Who was your favorite character in S1? R2?
- Suzaku. And then still Suzaku. ILU SUZU ♥

5. What was your favorite episode of S1? Of R2? Of ALL TIME?
S1-- the episode where Lelouch is chasing Arthur around the school trying to get back his Zero helmet. XD
S2-- Episode 21 FTW! *predictable*

6. What did you first love about the series, and did that aspect continue in R2?
- I loved all the drama + crack, though the drama got increasingly more... heavy by the time R2 was over (though, y'know, it was still ridiculously cracky, which was cool).

7. Are you happy with the ending?
- Honestly I'm not sure anymore. I want to think I don't hate it like I thought (when I REAAAALLY think about it, it was the nicest and probably most realistic way to end things), though I'm still irked about a couple of things.

8. Zerozaku = FTW?
- No thank you. As awesome as he was at dodging bullets and whatnot, no.

9.Going to marathon all episodes soon?
- I don't think my heart could take it! lol

10. Will you continue to love this series forever and ever?
- Probably. After all the money I spent on merchandise, I damn well better. XD

11. Code Geass = BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME?
- Certainly not of all time, but it was wonderful for what it was.

[selenityshiroi.livejournal.com]

1. CLAMP. 'nough said.
2. I was waiting for the first episode with the rest of the CLAMP fangirls!
3. I enjoyed the moral wrangling from the first episodes and liked how they balanced it with the relationships between all the characters-especially all the friends who were on opposite sides. So, from the start, really. But Lulu's insane grin helped.
4. S1: Lelouch. Then Suzaku. Then C.C. But Cornelia sneaked in and surprised me near the end, when we got to see the other, softer side of her. S2: Lelouch, Suzaku, Xingke, Cornelia, C.C.
5. S1: Episode 6 for the crazy! S2: Episode 21 for the WTFOMGALLHAILLELOUCH!!! All Time: The finale (Turn 25). It wrapped up the show really well.
6. The moral ambiguity. I hate it when things are broken down into the 'good side' and 'bad side'. And very much so!
7. Yes. A good ending does not have to be happy.
8. Zerozaku is brilliant, but a very sad life for Suzaku to lead. He's killed someone very important to him and has to live as a shadow for the rest of his life. So I'm sure HE doesn't think he's full of win.
9. Not with my working hours. Maybe when I'm on holiday next or over Christmas.
10. I don't see why not.
11. I wouldn't say it was the best, or my favourite. But it is certainly one I will watch again and recommend to a friend! And it's pretty high up my list for an anime only show (rather than an anime based on a manga, which is usually why I watch an anime).

[soaker87.livejournal.com]

1. I wanted to see what all the raving ws about
2. Actually, I got into it kinda late, so I beleive up to episode 6 of R2 was out
3. Can't really remember, but probably around episode 4. It was really good from the beginning.
4. Kallen was the first to really stand out to me, and later Ougi and Villetta.
5. In R1, episode 21. In R2, episode 15. For *cough* obvious reasons. *cough*
6. I guess the fact that I was always in suspense. I had to marathon all that was available in about 2 days, because I couldn't stop watching.
7. Yes.
8. I think it's pretty cool.
9. Have already been doing so gradually.
10. Yep.
11. I wouldn't go that far.

[gab-rey.livejournal.com]

1. I was browsing a forum and saw pictures of some of the characters and did some research and found out that the characters were designed by CLAMP. So I gave the series a try.

2. About 15 or 16.

3. In Turn 1, when Lelouch got his geass and ordered the soldiers to kill themselves and then he made this evil smile and it ended. I wanted to see more.

4. S1: Suzaku but also Euphemia and Lelouch
R2: (I have several) Lelouch, Kallen, Gino, Anya, Xingke

5. S1: I liked all of them especially the last two episodes.
R2: The first few episodes up to 13 and then episodes 24 and 25.
All time: Can't decide.

6. The plot, characters, and slight romance, but that aspect did not really continue in R2.

7. Yeah. I'm so happy it was not a reset ending or something like that.

8. Nope.

9. No, I'll probably wait till all the DVDs come out in the US and then watch season 1 and 2.

10. YES!!

11. Not really, but it is one of my favorites.

[ryuichi.livejournal.com]

1. I forget really, but a friend told me and my roommate about it I think? I'm a big mecha fan, so the mobile suits intrigued me.
2. There were only 2 episodes out at the time I think. Or maybe only 1. I just know I watched it when it first started to air and no one else knew what Code Geass was XD
3. The first episode. It was amazing and right away I knew this was a series I would enjoy.
4. Lelouch and C.C. for both seasons.
5. I liked all of the episodes, I don't know if there is one I like more or less.
6. It is a smart show. I loved the tactics, I loved the planning. It carried over throughout the whole series. I liked that it made you think.
7. I'm pretty happy with it, yeah. I like that it is "open" so I am happy with what I believe is happening.
8. I really find it to be an interesting concept.
9. I really like the idea of it lol
10. Probably
11. It has definitely moved up on my Fave lists, maybe 3rd? or 2nd?

[snowdevil-crow.livejournal.com]

1. Friends in real life made me watch the first three or four episodes (subbed) with them. Then I made them tell me more about the plot and spoilers and stuff...
2. Up to and including episode 20 of R2. Yeah, I'm a newbie.
3. I was pretty much hooked once I learned about the whole angst/betrayal/friendship between Suzaku and Lelouch *yaoi-angst fan* (I made my friends tell me everything that happened. I love spoilers).
4. The Zero Requiem Trio! (CC and Lelouch and Suzaku). I like all the characters, though, with the possible exception of Luciano.
5. S1: Stage 19 (d'aww Euphie and Lulu). R2: All of them? heh. Turn 19. All time: Turn 25.
6. The angst and betrayal and friendship and funny and... everything. Yes.
7. Yes... and I have decided that I'll still approve and like it even if Lelouch isn't actually dead and is actually immortal or something.
8. FTW. Definitely.
9. HELLS YES. It's funny that one of the friends who introduced me to it actually hasn't seen all the episodes... so we're all gonna get together and rewatch the whole thing sometime soon. ^^
10. Yeah. Probably. XD
11. Eeeeh... I dunno. It had a lot of weird inconsistencies and there were a few things that I disapproved of (the biggest being that we never got our Kaminejima-coma-Suzaku thing answered). But I think it's pretty awesome, nevertheless.

[3vil-chick-lol.livejournal.com]

1. What got you into Geass? Hot pictures of Lelouch on /cm/, lol
2. At the time you got into it, how many episodes were already out? All of season 1, thankfully. I watched the whole season in about 3 days.
3. What part got you hooked? First episode
4. Who was your favorite character in S1? R2? Lelouch, Kallen and Euphie, always.
5. What was your favorite episode of S1? Of R2? Of ALL TIME? Umm, all of them? xD I guess the island ep, the Shirley/Mao arc, the last 3 eps of season 1 and the last of R2 would be my favourites if I had to choose. But to be honest I pretty much loved every single ep.
6. What did you first love about the series, and did that aspect continue in R2? Everything, and yes xD
7. Are you happy with the ending? Couldn't have been better. Especially how it was open so people can believe what they choose to an extent.
8. Zerozaku = FTW? FTW :D
9.Going to marathon all episodes soon? I think it would make me too sad to be honest :( *crybaby* But I did rewatch season 1 about 5 times while waiting for R2 to start, does that count for anything?
10. Will you continue to love this series forever and ever? Without doubt :D
11. Code Geass = BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME? Fuck yes! Been my favourite since I finished season 1 and I doubt that'll change anytime soon.

[gakupoid.livejournal.com]

1. Lelouch himself. I watched the show for him and immediately got thrown into an interesting world I couldn't get out of. I came for Lelouch, stayed for the story/characters/music/plot/plot twists/designs
2. The first 23 had finished already, so people were waiting for 24-25. It was March 07' when I started.
3. The very last scene in episode 1 kept me staying.
4. Lelouch, Rolo and V.V.
5. There are so many, it's very hard to decide akjgjkajk. I had a full listing on my journal but I'm too lazy to copy. R2 would be ep 14 or 19 though, I believe.
6. agjajk Same things I've already said. The plot itself and the designs and just a lot of other factors. R2 had some REALLY QUALITY animation, so I can't say quality value stuck over to R2... as well as.... the general plot S1 gave off. but other than that......
7. Somewhat. really sad yet. I've made my interpretations on the symbolism/etc, so I'm satisfied only with what I want, but I wish for a complete answer to my theory.
8. It's just the same old speeding bullet with a mask.
9. Already started on it.
10. Until the end of time.
11. CLOSE. It's hard to say for me. but ALL HAIL LELOUCH.

[kawaii-syaoran.livejournal.com]

1. 'Heard the characters were designed by CLAMP.
2. I watched it on and off (due to schoolwork. @_@), so I didn't finish it until Season 1 was over.
3. I actually can't remember. XD
4. Suzakuuu~ And Milly. :D Oh yea. 'Can't forget Kaguya.
5. Kaguya! :D 'Still Milly.
6. I can't choose. ><
7. As sad as it was, it was perfect.
8. FTW :D
9. I wish. 'Too much schoolwork to deal with right now. :/
10. YES <3
11. It's definitely up there, but Cardcaptor Sakura's still my favorite. XD;;

[rentsuki.livejournal.com]

1. Well once upon a time I walked into Borders and saw this OMGSOHOTAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME face on a magazine, and I was like "OSHI--GOTTA WATCH THAT, WHATEVER IT IS!!" so I look it up and I find out it's by Sunrise and CLAMP and I'm like "OMG no wai" so I watch all of Season 1 in 2 days :D
2. All of Season 1. I'm sad I didn't get hooked on it earlier :(
3. LELOUCH!!, the ANGST, the PLOT TWEESTS, and just...the AWESOMENESS of it.
4. LELOUCH. OMG I LOVE YOU FOREVER LELOUCH ;_;
5. S1 fav: Err either Episode 1 because it's TEH BEGINNING ;_; (I can't believe it's over...) or Episode 19 or 25 because...just because. R2 fav: 21 OR 25. FOR SURE.
6. I loved the angst (LOL) and Lelouch. (No, not just his looks, I'm not that dense -_-) I really liked his character and thought he was awesome. And yes that continued in R2. Especially in the end, when we finally understood his character fully. ......WAAAAH LELOUCH! TT_TT
7. Are you happy with the ending? YES. Although Lelouch died. :( But the ending was...epic. Awesome. Amazing. FABULOUS. I can't even describe it.
8. LOLOLOLOL
9. FUCK YES, who isn't? (Then afterwards I'm going to tie all my friends to chairs and make them watch it with me because they don't think Code Geass is awesome and on the contrary think it's weird and is the ruler of my life [which it is :D])
10. KEEP IT ALIVE, GUYS!!! I WILL FOR SURE. NEVER FORGET CODE GEASS...a story about sacrifice, love, and the world. :')
11. FUCK YES.

[ratsandwich.livejournal.com]

1. Hearing that it was going to be on [adult swim], actually. I wanted to watch it before it got infested by the, er, same crowd that kinda ruined Daeth Note over here.
2. All of them. Best part? I got into it the Sunday the first episode of R2 came out, so at 5 episodes per day after school, I wrapped up my marathon with watching the first two episodes of R2 fresh off the grill, which explained a ton after the cliffhanger of R1.
3. I don't even know. Can we say the whole part?
4. Lelouch for both of these.
5. S1- 1, 6, all the Mao episodes, and 22-25. R2- 12 tops all. (and of course, the last two episodes go on the list)
6. Lelouch's whole 'heartless with a heart' kinda thing he has going on (take that, Yagami!), the character designs,
7. Incredibly. I don't see why everyone hates it, it couldn't've ended any other way. I'm a bit irked that Lelouch's death is so open ended (and if we know if C.C.'s immortal or not now), but that was just an amazing bang to go out with.
8. Yes plz. You must wonder if he sleeps with the mask or not...
9. Fuck yes. Once I can find a site with the batch of the first season, that is. Or I could also wait for the DVD, but...
10. Yes. Just.... yes.
11. Yes. This series... I have neer been so into an anime series before. Yes, it is my number 1 favorite now.

[shinigami39.livejournal.com]

1. I found it very interesting ^^; And everyone's watching it already and I'm too late to the party, but I still want to join orz
2. Up to Stage 22 :D
3. The exposition that Lelouch is a prince haha :p (Stage 3, I think?)
4. S1: Lelouch, Kallen, Cornelia, CC, Suzaku. R2: Lelouch, Suzaku, Rolo ^.^
5. Euphienator Episode (22? <--lol I can't remember the exact number). TURN 21. ALL HAIL LELOUCH! (Turn 21 for all time)
6. Fabulous hand motions. Kickass evil laughs. LOLStrategies. Cliffhangers. Mindfuck. YES. ^^
7. Was it a good ending? Yes. Did it satisfy me? NOOOO. -______- Too many plotholes, not very conclusive, general feeling of lolwhutwtf. And it was a bit predictable >__<
8. Like I said before, Suzaku cannot be as fabulous as Lelouch. ♥
9. I did the marathon just before the finale OOHYEAH.
10. ALL HAIL CODE GEASS *cough*
11. I'm not sure if the BESTEST BEST, but it shall certainly be the MOST EPIC AND ENTERTAINING MINDFUCK ANIME :D

/I remember posting something like this on my LJ before watching the finale. HAHA. The first six questions are the same YAY! :D

[etheralia.livejournal.com]

Um, well, I don't know...THE GORGEOUS BOY WITH THE FUCKING PURPLE EYES?!

..
..
I rest my case. ;)

2. At the time you got into it, how many episodes were already out?

Mm, S1 was finished. *Late lover*

3. What part got you hooked? Um, COLORS. I'm srs. I would just lyke, freak out when it opened, I got chills all over. That and the fact that it had this really intricate royalty thing, that and he was a prince and a crazy terrorist leader in one student's body. FUH-REAKY.


4. Who was your favorite character in S1? R2? LELOUCHLELOUCHLELOUCHRAPE. :D
5. What was your favorite episode of S1? Of R2? ...ALL OF IT.
6. What did you first love about the series, and did that aspect continue in R2? The amazing art, the way the eyes glowed and all the bright colors. And the amazing soundtrack.
7. Are you happy with the ending?
Yes, though I just listened to Continuing Story WHILE watching Rurushu die and cried a bit more. Oh, and last night, I cried myself to sleep. :P
I'm in denial. And in pain. EMBRACE ME. *shot*
8. Zerozaku = ...HE ISN'T RURUSHU. >:( But He'll do. :P
9.Going to marathon all episodes soon? YES YES YES.
10. Will you continue to love this series forever and ever? UNTIL THE END OF TIME. AND THEN SOME.
11. Code Geass = LIFE. (AND HOT GAIZ WITH TIGHT PANTS)

[stellarabyss.livejournal.com]

1. I'm not sure. I don't even I remember.
2. I believe I started watching when it first started.
4. S1: Lelouch S2: Rolo and V.V
5. S1: I don't know. S2: Turn 25.
7. Yes. Even though it broke my heart.
8. FTW ALL THE WAY BABY!
9. OH GOD YES! As soon as I make space for them.
10. Yes. I'm already saving up money for the DVDs so I can watch it whenever I want.
11. In my book yes. I haven't seen anything better then it yet. But I am watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and my cousin says I'll like it better than Geass.

[kuro-kaitou.livejournal.com]

1. Curiosity
2. All of season 1 and season two 'till episode 24. Marathoned them in 4 days while goinig to school and work. (Laptop's ftw!)
3. Skating Mechas!? Evil scheme grin?! Double awesomeness.
4. Hummm... Lelouch and Lloyd have a kind of a tie in both. I never got too much into Suzaku-ism.
5.
S1 - episode 19 (island's are nice =P especially, since I got to shout "Suzaku, no matter that she's an eenmy, but you overserved the fanboys!")
S2 - episode 9 (don't you just love when two madmen sit down and decide to have a sophisticated match in chess)

6. Cliffhanger.... and the possibility to just switch folder on the player XD
7. Not really... not upset that it's so sad, but I'm annoyed that they didn't show few specific things.
8. -entry not made-
9. Most likely yes, since October series bunch hasn't tarted yet
10. Yush!
11. One of them at least. ^^

[myna5194.livejournal.com]

1. My friend told me about it, so I decided to check it out
2. I think the last episode of the first season just came out XD
3. Plot and Lelouch. I love Jun Fukuyama <3
4. Lelouch & Suzaku
5. R2 - 4, 22 Not sure for S1
6. Epic animation. Yes.
7. Satisfied, but oh so depressed ;____;
8. I feel so sorry for Suzaku, but he's pretty awesome as Zero
9. Probably
10. YEEEEEEEES
11. Not necessarily the best, but it's definitely up there on my list.

[thiefqueenriyo.livejournal.com]

1. Random internet browsing. ;D
2. The whole first season.
3. I don't know. The characters, probably.
4. I loved a lot of characters, but Lelouch held a special place in my heart, because he was the main character. And batshit crazy.
5. THE LAST ONE. .......... No, probably not. Just holding a revered place in my heart at the moment. T_T
6. The characters, and yes.
7. Yes. Now stop with the cartman theories. Stop ruining my ending! D=
8. Brought back what the symbol was supposed to represent, so yes.
9. No. I simply do not have the time. =(
10. Yes. Yes, I will.
11. No. Made one of my tops, though. The ending placed it in a good second, for sure, rivaling the first. But, even if it were to be my favourites, I'd be far off to say it was the best of all time. Even in my own opinion.

[preciousrosee.livejournal.com]

1. I was downloading lots of series, so I saw this en McAnime and decided to dowload it
2. The first Season was complete and 13 of r2
3. Lelouch's plans <3
4. Euphy and Nunally (and Lelouch )
5. Rolo, C.C, Nunally and Lelouch
6. The voices <3
7. Yes, but I would like more explanation about some things
8. It was the biggest LOOL in the whole anime hahahaha
9. Maybe XD
10. OF course!!! all hail code geass haha
11. It's in my top haha

[preciousrosee.livejournal.com]

sorry about my english xD
