r2 was wayyyyy better than r1 in my opinion, ending of r1 was just böring.
How was R1 ending boring? One of the best ending's I've ever seen. And I followed Code Geass from episode 6 or so and I tell you the wait is fucking brutal.
+ Show Spoiler +Three month wait after Euphie dies and everyone's wondering if Suzaku knows Lelouche is Zero or not
And then a 6 month or so wait for Season Two. Ridiculous.
R1's ending though, It was just like waaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt!?

I couldn't even force myself through the first episode. It was just too ridiculous + I couldn't care less about the premise.
haha...yeah, it took a couple eps for me to get used to the pacing and the somewhat exaggerated style...not to mention the absolutely RIDICULOUS song choices for OP and ED.
Once you get used to it, though, it's really fun.
|
I really agree that the OP and ED songs were horrible, in both R1 and R2. Especially when you hear the ED during the last ep, it just ruins it the mood...
Another thing, ridiculously absurd endings and unkillable characters are typical of Sunrise, just see Gundam (00 has become horrible as well). It seems that Sunrise is building up a reputation of doing amazing 1st series, only to follow up with a horrible sequel series.

Season 2 was mostly trampling about in a puddle of shit, splashing it everywhere, but at least by the end gold was uncovered. That's why I hate shows like Lost which can only be described as trampling about in a bottomless puddle of shit until everyone watching gets bored and goes away.
Anyway, I thought it was pretty exciting throughout but it was the ending that made it one of my favourites. I didn't really like any characters except Lelouch and CC though. I think the most disappointing part is CC not getting to eat the giant pizza.

damn R2 was not horrible wtf you talking about? In a way it was very unique and had amazing feel to it
if you cant get used to it then its your own opinion, im pretty bored with standard plots and enjoyed R2 thoroughly
|
Oh just to clear things up my analogy doesn't actually mean it's horrible, just very frantic/messy. I suppose it's due to all the twists.
|
I thought r2 was more amazing than the first overall. The plot was more global in scope and personal at the same time. The ending is just bad ass mastery, damn. I really liked the in show soundtrack too. Certain themes were very reflective of the scenery and catchy. Animation was fluid too. Good stuff.

Hey youtube actually featured this, apparently bandai entertainment uploaded the whole first season in order to draw in more viewers or something. Here you go, if you have never seen this anime i higghhlyy recommend it. The storyline is sick, very unpredictable! Plus the quality is HD so take advantage of it!!

season 1 was alright
season 2 was horrible
code gay-ass?

wow
the end of r2 was GREAT imo
so good, and i was so curious what they were going to do, couldn't have been an easy story to end lol

r2 had many serious issues:
bad pacing:
seriously wtf, things were happening rather slowly as lelouch spends many episodes just fucking around with his school mates, making giant pizzas ect. and developing his relationship with the girls, and then suddenly shirley dies. The plot suddenly goes into overdrive, he goes to war, fights multiple battles, and things begin to revolve around his grand plan for world domination, all feelings for shirley forgotten.
giant plot holes: .... not even gonna go here
useless plot gimmicks.
- Death of shirley would have been actually important if lelouch continued to express remorse of her death, or if her death changed him in any significant way. Really the only thing achieved was to free him from school life and to make the anime about giant robot battles again. They could have killed her off earlier and spared those filler episodes of r2. She should take lessons from Euphemia on "how to die with plot significance". Oh and Lelouch only has eyes for his sister anyways.
- Lelouch loosing his memory at the end of r1 is another giant waste of time. Again, that doesn't serve any purpose because he just climbs back into power and continues with world domination. Not only that, it is a total cop out of the cliff hanger ending of r1. I was totally expecting something cool start off r2 with a blast, but NOOOooOoooO he just forgot everything so now you can watch him remember it all again. Its a total cop out to diffuse and rebuild lelouch and suzaku's rivalry.
- Lelouch's battle with his father should have been waaaay epic. It should have been the climax. The whole anime up to that point was hyping up hatred for his dad. Instead, he dies a pussy death. No awesome battle, no action packed scenes, what a let down.
Fail Battle Strategy:
- HOW MANY TIMES DOES LELOUCH HAVE TO BLOW UP THE FLOOR YOU'RE STANDING ON BEFORE YOU LEARN? Really, his so called "tactical genius" revolves around two tricks: blowing up the floor/platform/oceanbed and predicting your video responses. I thought they would continue to wow my mind with awesome strategy, but nope, sorry, hes just a two trick pony. If you want to see some actual clever strategy, go watch gundam 00.
Yes, R2's ending is probably the only redeeming point. Lelouch is destined to be martyred in the first place, he has committed too many sins on his path to victory, so the end is fitting.

well season 1 was really exceptional and it's pretty hard to top that.
the ending was fantastic and made up for all the things you pointed out in my opinion.
the pizza episode was kinda stupid.

Lelouch is alive here is gif of uncut episode
Since I'm already posting pics
|
The coke image there is great.
|
HOLY SHIT COKE ORANGE?!
oh and lelouch is dead, etc.
I'd type more but i choked on my saliva and lost my chain of thought.
|
hahaha "Divided by Zero"
IMO this was the best part of R2:

I just finished it, and I thought it was very, very great. I went into it looking for a second Death Note, but it turned out very different... not so much a constant battle of two geniuses, but a battle of a genius against overwhelming force.
I had a couple of problems with it but overall thought R1 and R2 were both great. Actually Im kinda mad they didnt show what happens to Xing-ke, I thought he was a cool character.
I really, really, REALLY expected Zero Requiem to have something to do with people returning to life like Marianne mentioned. It would make sense with everything: Suzaku turned into a heartless killer because he knows that everyone would come back, including Euphemia, Lelouche would agree to oppose and even kill Nunally because he knows she would come back to life, Shirley would return to life and fufill her dying words of being reborn again and falling in love with him, Lelouche's out of character quote about filling rivers with blood would make sense because they would come back to life, etc. Basically I expected Zero Requiem to be some variant of the Ragnarok thing Charles and Marianne were working on that would revert the world to a previous point in time or something.
