Because your typical mecha show does not have huge amounts of trolling. Because one aspect of the show is not typical (even though there are plenty of other troll mecha series out there), the entire show must not be typical? Plus, its not really true that mecha doesn't have alot trolling (Depression Tomino stuff and Evangelion are prime examples). Code Geass just expanded on the trolling. Beyond that, everything in Geass from the politics, the characters, the battles, the drama, the mechs, its not terribly different from whatever you might consider the "norm" for real robot anime.

Edit: Also Peace whiner = Suzaku, like one of the main characters in Geass. | ||

Yeah and instead it had Royalty who can turn into rockets, bad guys who turn good and then turn bad again in the very same episode for no reason, hundreds of people dressing up like Zero in order to get exiled (including animals), lots of retarded Highschool bullshit, "lol i just made ur terrain blow up" in every battle, Spinzaku, people getting divided by zero, blind men and pregnant ladies with rifles, etc etc. Code Geass isn't even close to most Gundam in terms of quality, IMO. But it is the #1 anime in Romania. Yeah, speaking of Spinzaku, that guy is like Kira-incarnate, except without the things that made Kira a decent character in SEED. | ||

I didn't read the text but I can tell you, perhaps to your chagrin, that Chirico is introduced during the Code Geass storyline. He's fighting in some underground mecha battle coliseum, eventually fights Karen, but then both he and Karen are ambushed/double crossed by the proprietors or something and the cops come. Keep them alive for a few turns and your team will come and help them. Whenever the storyline can branch into Area 11, Chirico is available there. He has a bunch of different packs for his Scopedog and later can get a black one if conditions are met. The black one has sick good music. Parts where what I assume are VOTOMs plot elements come into play: later you see a flashback of him and his teammates all in these black mechas routing some mooks, then you need to fight a team of guys called the Red Shoulders. | ||

I guess it makes sense for Chirico to show up in the Code Geass storyline. Just mechawise, Armored Troopers are extremely small mechs. Code Geass mechs are extremely small as well, so it works out. Kallen is like one of the only Code Geass characters I liked, so her getting introduced with Chirico is fine lol | ||

You're going to have to be more specific, there's a billion different Gundam series. Well I haven't seen a billion Gundams and mostly the modern ones. 00 and Seed were decent, Seed Destiny was bad and Unicorn OVAs seem pretty good. Edit: Also Peace whiner = Suzaku, like one of the main characters in Geass. Not saying I'm a fan of Suzaku, definitely one of of the most annoying characters in CG. Actually shouldn't even compare CG and Gundam as they are nothing alike, Gundam are like the standard of mech animes and CG is something whole different. Personally I just prefer CG as a anime in general over Gundam's. | ||

Like they missed the key point about Amuro, he likes to fight and doesn't mind killing people, just watch 0079 again. He was more pushed mental and physical exhaustion and the Bright Slap was more intended to get him to become less angsty. Amuro didn't like fighting lol, didn't mind killing people lol, maybe you need to watch 0079 again. | ||

sure it may look pretty and may seem to have a lot of flavor but really you're just destroying the flavor of the ice cream alternatively you could say its because in both case you are eating hard things while ingesting white viscous material | ||
