code_geass
inulovinkit.livejournal.com in code_geass...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.

(no subject)
2) The entire first season.
3) Don't really know. Somewhere amidst the explosions and FABULOUS and Lelouch losing to small shrubberies, I fell in love with the characters. Actually, it was probably the childhood scenes and Suzaku meeting Nunnally again that did it.
4) S1: the boys. R2: Lelouch, sorta by default, lol.
5) S1: Stage 23. R2: Turn 5. There are some other pretty epic episodes later on, but they're generally marred by some other extenuating factors. (Lol pacing, lol characterization.)
6) Despite the story being one of war and a clash of ideologies on the surface, its scope always, always returned back to the level of the individual characters and their relationships with each other. I loved that S1 was Lelouch vs. himself vs. Suzaku vs. himself. It was a very small, very personal conflict largely driven by subjective experience. This very small conflict, through a (not-so-) fortuitous series of events, simply played itself out in a grand way. tl;dr: The small scope of the story. R2...could have done a better job of continuing this...
7) Pretty much, yeah. It has more holes than swiss cheese, but that's what side materials and fandom are for. =P
8) Yes. FANARTS WHERE?
9) Soonish. S1 (before everything starts turning to shit) might make me bawww, though.
10) Yes, in all likelihood, haha.
11) I'm gonna have to be an elitist and say "no" to this. It is a damned entertaining and engrossing series, though, and some parts were done excellently (some of the time).
