There are many claims that it is the best anime ever. Sadly it ended up inflating my expectations too much, so i ended up dropping it for later after ~50 episodes.

To me it felt a bit like Code Geass trying to take itself far too seriously with two sides taking turns winning decisive battles by using ridiculous plans. It did have much better characters though.

You gave yourself away as a troll with that second paragraph, try harder next time.

The answer should be what is "Gundam Syndrome"?

The guy is saying stuff like "Taking itself too seriously!" when it doesn't take itself any more serious than any other normal war story. I guess he wishes that Reinhard and Yang went to the same High School together on the side, and do stupid stuff there like take command of a fleet to bake a pizza. And ridiculous strategies? I agree, flanking, feints, pincers, charges, and other normal battlefield tactics that they use in LoGH are all ridiculous. They should have just continuously blown up the ground under the enemy in every single battle ever. Or maybe hack into their communication systems every single battle, and LOL WE READ UR MOVES. Then it wouldn't have had ridiculous tactics.

lol, I didn't even read your reply, what does Gundam Syndrome have to do with LoGH? I heard what you said it was on IRC, and I'm puzzled as to how that is relevant to LoGH.


Well, Code Geass makes sense as an attempt to parody everything anime at the same time so it's impossible to take seriously.

The battlefield tactics of LoGH isn't any problem, they are usually reasonable.
+ Show Spoiler +
The problem is that when one side gets a significant advantage, either the other side starts pulling off some crazy stuff or the first side does uncharacteristically idiotic stuff.

Capturing a mini death star with a small group of sword armed soldiers makes sense, Yang is a genius. Then let the previously excellent commanders of the Empire throw away a couple of fleets and another mini death star trying to take it back. It's also a good thing Yang passed on those brilliant tactics to his pupil so that he could capture that Imperial destroyer that got in the way.

If nothing else works when the empire is about to win a decisive battle, why not just invent some new physics to stop them.

Code Geass wasn't meant to parody anything, its just a show that turned out hilarious because of how hard it tried and failed.

Sounds like you are talking about Season 1 stuff (other than the shit that I have no idea what you are talking about), with the Empire throwing away fleets and stuff stupidly. In Season 1, everyone not associated with Yang or Reinhard was retarded. And then they all die by the end of Season 1, because Yang and Reinhard are that good. Then you get 3 Seasons of pure awesome.

Wasn't the whole Iserlohn ordeal Season 2? Before they decide to just use the other road to the Alliance instead after losing God knows how much resources.

The rest should be fairly late Season 2 since that was what made me finally stop watching. I will most likely finish it sometime since it still was pretty good, but it just didn't have that really intelligent plot that I was expecting after all the praise of LoGH and all the complaints about how stupid the tactics were in CG.

Code Geass wasnt that bad....it sure had it flaws but overall the mech action was pretty good atleast. I think it should of started with a darker theme similar to Death Note. The overall setting was just to colorful for it to be drawn into a more series dark theme. What ticked me off was Lelouche playing chess with his brother and he didnt take the win....I would never understand that scenario. Their are a lot of key flaws in the anime but it can be overlooked I suppose.

Like some people said, if you shut off your brain and completely removed the word "why" from existences, then it the best anime in decades.

I thought Code Geass was pretty good, although I hated the cliff-hanger ending. The pacing was excellent and the action was great. Some characters were meh but on the other hand there was a lot of character development for the main characters which is the important part. Suzaku is a pretty good foil to lelouche and their conflicting ideologies/philosophies was really interesting to watch.

What I didn't like was the ending that I mentioned and that nothing was really answered by the end so the second season is absolutely mandatory which I have yet to see.

madoka was kinda unique and stuff, but don't you dare to insult old anime :O


Anime of today is objectively better than old anime. Better animation, better voiceacting, better writing.


You haven't seen much anime have you... Or maybe you're just trolling, I'm not sure. It's pretty evident that a lot of studios started focusing on quick selling shows around 2005... Sloppy remakes of manga, simple slapstick or pure fanservice. I even stopped following new anime because after watching so much shit every season you grow disappointed...

There are many claims that it is the best anime ever. Sadly it ended up inflating my expectations too much, so i ended up dropping it for later after ~50 episodes.

To me it felt a bit like Code Geass trying to take itself far too seriously with two sides taking turns winning decisive battles by using ridiculous plans. It did have much better characters though.

You gave yourself away as a troll with that second paragraph, try harder next time.

The answer should be what is "Gundam Syndrome"?

The guy is saying stuff like "Taking itself too seriously!" when it doesn't take itself any more serious than any other normal war story. I guess he wishes that Reinhard and Yang went to the same High School together on the side, and do stupid stuff there like take command of a fleet to bake a pizza. And ridiculous strategies? I agree, flanking, feints, pincers, charges, and other normal battlefield tactics that they use in LoGH are all ridiculous. They should have just continuously blown up the ground under the enemy in every single battle ever. Or maybe hack into their communication systems every single battle, and LOL WE READ UR MOVES. Then it wouldn't have had ridiculous tactics.

lol, I didn't even read your reply, what does Gundam Syndrome have to do with LoGH? I heard what you said it was on IRC, and I'm puzzled as to how that is relevant to LoGH.


Well, Code Geass makes sense as an attempt to parody everything anime at the same time so it's impossible to take seriously.

The battlefield tactics of LoGH isn't any problem, they are usually reasonable.
+ Show Spoiler +
The problem is that when one side gets a significant advantage, either the other side starts pulling off some crazy stuff or the first side does uncharacteristically idiotic stuff.

Capturing a mini death star with a small group of sword armed soldiers makes sense, Yang is a genius. Then let the previously excellent commanders of the Empire throw away a couple of fleets and another mini death star trying to take it back. It's also a good thing Yang passed on those brilliant tactics to his pupil so that he could capture that Imperial destroyer that got in the way.

If nothing else works when the empire is about to win a decisive battle, why not just invent some new physics to stop them.

Code Geass wasn't meant to parody anything, its just a show that turned out hilarious because of how hard it tried and failed.

Sounds like you are talking about Season 1 stuff (other than the shit that I have no idea what you are talking about), with the Empire throwing away fleets and stuff stupidly. In Season 1, everyone not associated with Yang or Reinhard was retarded. And then they all die by the end of Season 1, because Yang and Reinhard are that good. Then you get 3 Seasons of pure awesome.


Code Geass wasnt that bad....it sure had it flaws but overall the mech action was pretty good atleast. I think it should of started with a darker theme similar to Death Note. The overall setting was just to colorful for it to be drawn into a more series dark theme. What ticked me off was Lelouche playing chess with his brother and he didnt take the win....I would never understand that scenario. Their are a lot of key flaws in the anime but it can be overlooked I suppose.

Like some people said, if you shut off your brain and completely removed the word "why" from existences, then it the best anime in decades.

he didn't take the win because Code Geass is actually BL in disguise and because Lelouch is a uke character.

Coincidence, really, that an d Gosick and Dantalian are totally different far as the LNs went. Just happens that the two female leads share a number of similarities.
