Though I can acknowledge there were some wtf moments, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. + Show Spoiler [School Days again - lololololololololo…] + Just finished it. Don't even know where to begin with this one. I'm guessing "Bitches be crazy" would be a good place to start. Don't get me wrong, past the first episode I had absolutely no respect, nor did I like Makoto in the least for the remainder of the show, and he had everything coming to him. And I'm sure that's the entire point. While I can agree with the comment posted on the last page to an extent, about hitting every piece of ass he could, he still was a complete douche for going about it the way he did, but of course that's what gave us a story.  There's only two characters I sympathize with at all, which is funny, as they were the two characters I liked from the beginning: Setsuna and Kotonoha. Kotohona was probably a bit crazy to begin with, and couldn't take a hint, but still, she didn't deserve the initial few shocks, or at the very least they should have been broken to her sooner. But then again it comes to not having a story otherwise. Some of Setsuna's actions complicated things a bit, however, I can't really blame her, as she was the first to be screwed. Obviously they didn't go into it, but I wonder if she had just given up entirely between the first semester and the second. Otherwise, regardless of what crush Sekai may have, I don't see why she would do that to her best friend when she knew Setsuna liked Makoto. The 7-8 episodes is where all the real emotion was for me. It was definitely the emotional rollercoaster as someone said before. The last 4-5 episodes on the other hand, had me lolling more than anything. There were a few moments that I felt a bit bad, but overall, it just all became so laughable. I may have felt a little bad for Sekai, but I just generally couldn't give a damn. She didn't deserve all that came to her up to the last episode, but really, she witnessed firsthand his douchebaggery, so I'm not really sure what she expected. Otome wasn't exactly a likable character, but I was pretty happy with the way they tied up her relationship with Makoto. That wraps up most of the characters I have to say anything on, but seriously, the last few episodes were fucking lol. I guess the cause could be because the source material is an eroge, but I don't know, I've only played up the first act. Speaking of which, the ending didn't quite pan out the way I expected, though was essentially the same. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that there are two (possibly more) bad endings in the game, with the only major difference being the character doing the stabbing. Though from what I read, there isn't a Setsuna ending, which bums me out a bit.  On one last note, the last two scenes had me laughing the most. And I'll end where I started. Bitches be crazy. | ||

The only new Code Geass stuff I've heard about are Code Geass manga, like "Suzaku of the Counterattack" or "Nightmare of Nunnally". | ||

I haven't followed up on it, but you know how speculation on the internet is. Are you talking about this? Because that turned out to be another manga project. | ||

Actually, it's supposed to be a multi-media project, and so far a manga was announced (Wikipedia, IIRC, says it's about CC set during Edo Japan or something like that), and speculation is still rampant (hopeful, I should say) that there will also be an anime anounced. I just hope that we finally get Word of God on what CC's real name is :3 | ||

A Gundam Pilot has to do one thing: Pilot giant robots that shoot things. How the hell do you get "If you pilot a gundam, you shouldn't have a personality"? Thats stupid. And Flay, who I assume you are talking about, was a refugee. The entire point of her character is for you to not like her. Have you never watched an anime with a character that was designed to be a dick in it? You will probably grow to like her even less as the series progresses. But don't worry, she dies. Now you have something to look forward to, right? Nope, they are allowed to have one, at least when they aren't trained soldiers. Useless feelings, "difficult" personality=less efficiency. That's why the Gundam Wing characters(pilots) are that way. But anyway, I said that they are over-the-top characters. They change their personalities and feelings way too fast and that's not normal/unrealistic. Flay is the best example for that. When the colony got attacked it was all ok(just the usual stuff), then she calmed down and was happy and bla, and suddenly she freaked out. I mean, come one, one of your relatives die, would you freak out that way? I don't think so. That's just absurd. Of course, but they weren't that way, they were ok as characters, acceptable. Take the blond-haired girl from Gundam Wing for an example, that's the way how a character should be. They are similar but she is way better(*google: Dorothy Catalonia is her name). Now you spoilered me -.- But anyway, I stopped the series yesterday and will continue to watch after...I don't know. | ||

So please, no new season :/ It'll just be a prequel with CC backstory from what I understand, nothing about Lelouch. Though I do wish they tie up some of the plot threads they dropped but never came back to. Stuff like Lloyd-Rashata and etc. | ||

Seriously? Duo has a personality, and he is like the best Gundam Wing character. Heero doesn't, and hes boring. Flay is the best example for that.

I mean, come one, one of your relatives die, would you freak out that way? I don't think so. That's just absurd. What? Suddenly she freaked out...? I'm going to guess at what you are referring to here. I assume you are talking about when her dad died. So, you are saying that a girl freaking out over her dad getting killed practically right in front of her isn't a good reason for her to freak out? Anyway, I've said my piece about Code Geass, so I won't continue to beat a dead horse. If they do happen to make a 3rd season, hopefully it will be good like the first season, but I won't hold my breath. I'm pretty sure there won't be a Season 3, but you never know. | ||

I didn't write that, I said the exact opposite. Yeah, that's why he is not the best soldier. And I don't think a characters value is entirely based on their personality. Heero is a good characters since he fits in perfectly. If you want characters who are going crazy, watch some of the newer anime. Just because they aren't like this, they aren't boring.

Omg, you just spoiled another thing :/ Freaking out in a normal way is okay, like crying and stuff...but not going nuts, totally crazy, whatever. She is like one of those yandere(?) characters, which are absolutely not realistic and rather annoying. Like I said, take that Gundam Wing character for a comparison.

The entire Yagiri family seems pretty fucked up. I mean, I thought Seiji was okay at first, but now I just hate his character. Talk about a one track mind. The story's getting pretty weird. Not that it's a bad thing. Oh, and yeah, Shizuo is pretty awesome. Started watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Holy shit this OP and ED is amazing. Downloading Railgun episode 22. Hoping for epicness. There's two more episodes left. At the moment, I don't know if I'm saddened or relieved by this. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Keeping things warm. Laaame. And after all the speculation that the flowers on her head had something to do with it too... I'm actually liking this arc quite a bit. It seems like a pretty reasonable progression from the level upper arc (well, reasonable in the Raildex universe, anyway ). Hopefully JC Staff keeps this up. | ||
