This is like my fourth time watching this show and I still don't get why Lelouch wouldn't tell Suzaku that his Geass messed up on Euphemia. Instead, he non-chalantly is like that's in the past, and of course Suzaku is going to want to tear his head off. Is it pride? Was there some reason hinted at in R2 that I've forgotten?

Finally understand all the hype around Code Geass, it was fantastic.

The first OP/ED was great the second was pretty bad. The art took a while to get used to but it wasnt too bad. Lelouch was amazing. Cant wait to see the second season now.

This series has been nothing short of breathtaking.

I love every single one of the characters, and that's rare for me. Both good guys and bad guys. It's hard to pick who I'm rooting for!

I greatly anticipate the second season!

I have a concern about the series as a whole. And I wonder if anybody else has thought about it. It's about Lelouch Geass power and his absolute command. The question is that couldn't Lelouch just say:
- Always obey me!..
Wouldn't that be the best thing to say in almost every case he uses his Geass on someone. Then he could theoretically boss everyone around like a pimp for as long as he needs. And he could give them new commands when ever he needed. Right?.. Or have I missed something crucial? It's just that he's practically a genius so he would've thought about that and tested it. Maybe he did and it didn't work. He "Geassed" Suzaku and said, -Live. And that command will always activate when he's ''suicidal". Then Lelouch should be able to Geass someone and say, "Obey", or "Obey Me", or the more certain, "Always Obey Me"?
It's an epic series either way. It's on the same level as Death Note, but the graphics are better.

I know. It's pretty much wrapped up. Lelouch lost because of that V.V kid.

Why do bad guys always lose? :'(

I don't understand why Orange had to be re-introduced....just to complicate things? Or does it serve a higher purpose, like telling us that the emperor is doing some crazy experiments on humans? Hopefully the latter. And wow, Nina really is insane. Okay so it's not really a mech, but a mech that is a bomb. Can't believe she would go that far to avenge Euphie...including killing herself. Sorry but that makes no sense to me why anyone would ever want to avenge someone else but die in the process. It's like a 1 second satisfaction and then you're dead. Well guess it's no use to apply logic to someone who's gone (or has always been) insane.

I'm really interested to see the truth behind Lulu's mother's death. Seems like she knew she was going to die? Does it have to do with C.C.? I remember once the "person" she was talking to, she called her Marienne, which is the name of Lulu's mother. And she seemed a little worked up when Lulu wondered who was in his mother's coffin.

And wow, as much as I dislike that Lulu just left the battlefield like that, causing everything he's worked for to crumble since the battle moral is low after people thought that their hope abandoned them, I can't blame him because since the very beginning, his one and only goal was to keep Nanaly safe. If Nanaly dies, then there would be no point in a peaceful world. His actions are still in line with his goal, therefore I don't blame him. Of course, it's not the best action in terms of trying to being Britannia down in Japan, but again, people really shouldn't be hating on him. I'd rather have a consistent character than one who isn't. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like Lulu that much.

Also, even if Lulu did explain to Suzaku that his command for Euphie was all an accident, it wouldn't change anything because he ended up tarnishing Euphie's image as well as using it to advance his plans. Suzaku will not forgive Lulu even if he knew that it wasn't on purpose. Just had to put that out there.

Lastly, that OP was the best one...yet they wait until the last 2 episodes to use it. WHY. Oh and what a cliffhanger =_= but obviously they didn't care to wrap up season 1 because they already announced a season 2 before it ended. I did like the themes and subversion from a normal hero, and what is right, and even how Lulu keeps become worse (not the right word but can't think of the word for it), but if just judging by this season itself, CG is great but not the best thing ever, in my opinion of course.

Wow.. Good ending but... not great.

I was a bit disappointed that the entire thing just flipped. The previous episode showed Zero making his move to win. Then the final episode is pretty much EVERYTHING going wrong for Zero. It's going back to the Status Quo yet again. Hell, the girl in the BK died that I liked. Zero's side has all the cool characters btw. Most of the Britannians are stuck up assholes. Even that girl gets her memory back and shoots the guy that treated her well. Jeez these people are terrible. And despite losing in the beginning, Britannia took no major loses in characters.

And my hate for Suzaku grows each episode. Seriously, I blame Lulu in a way because he was TOO NICE to Suzaku. He should have just let him die / killed him off / never saved him. Lulu saved Suzaku so many times from death, in battle, from Britainnia, from missiles, etc. Suzaku has never once saved Zero's life - just been a pain in the ass. Hell, Zero told him to "LIVE" instead of "drop dead / shoot yourself." Suzakui is really the villain.

I do admit, Lulu is starting to lose it because of his sister getting kidnapped. Some random VV character appears and just ruins the whole thing. Then conveniently, Suzaku is saved (I saw this coming, this guy is so lucky, even when he gets caught he always escapes WITH Lancelot - nothing bad every happens to them). And then Orange pops up to interfere. Nothing went right for the BK at all.

So in summary, most of this mess can be attributed to Lulu sparing Suzaku who preaches justice but won't do anything besides follow what Brittainia tells him to do. Yeeeep... sure you can change the world to a better place by doing that.... *sarcasm*

And I'm surprised with Kallen's reaction though maybe she felt like Lulu had evil intentions? They all knew he wasn't Japanese but I'm just assuming that it being Lulu means she thinks they got tricked? I guess I'll watch S2 to find out.

That was one hell of a cliffhanger. I was honestly surprised that Suzaku didn't have that big of a reaction. Seems like his hate for Zero is so big he doesn't care if it's his childhood friend.

Interested in how the next season is going to start. Seemed like the Black Knights were slowly dying off.

Episode 24: Was a good episode, it seems the girl got her memory back and shot Ogie. Now Lelouch is fighting Cornelia. One episode left, what will happen?

Episode 25: Very good. Lelouch arrived on the island, but Orange boy had to interrupt. Zero and Suzaku meet face to face, Suzaku shoots Zero's helmet off and it cracks in half. Suzaku now wants to kill him even more because he found out it was Lelouch. They both pull the trigger and now, cliffhanger. For this season, I give it a 10/10 for holding my attention all this time, it truly was a fun ride. Onto R2!

Great episodes. As if your hate for Nina wasn't enough before this, lul.
Loved the C.C.'s and Lelouch's kiss, kinda hoped for some romance between them in season 2, but well that was just hope, I knew it wasn't this kind of show.
The scene with Lelouch being revealed was great, when the helmet breaks in half and they show his face with blood on it you can only think 'wow, that's cool' . Great episode, great season, great series overall. 10/10 from me.

Non-stop epic action!

One of the great things about Zero's tactics is that they don't waste time having him explain all of his plans like other anime ends up doing in an attempt to be like this one. The setup and detail he put into this whole thing.

Even though cliffhangers are annoying, it was a great way to end this season.
C.C. and Lelouch's kiss was unexpected but it was done well and it was cute lol
Finally Kallen and Suzaku know Lelouch is Zero which made it more exciting.
I wonder if Cornelia will survive, same with the Black Knights as Lelouch is off rescuing Nunnally, so they seemed to be falling apart.
The last several episodes were awesome compared to the rest of this season. I thought it was an amazing first part of the series :)
Excited for the second season :D

Well Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion was great.

I particularly loved the character and their development in this series the most.

I wonder who survived in that last standoff between Lelouch and Suzaku still Lelouch gave Suzaku the geass command to "live".

"You need to be removed from this world", huh? Suzaki really is the biggest hypocrite. He brandishes his "righteousness" and "rule-abidiness" when he's actually the first one to break the rules and "remove" (read: brutally kill) those disagreeing with him, whoever they are (his own father and his best friend, no less), when he himself is still walking unpunished for a murder. If he really was as righteous as he pretends to be, he would have revealed the truth to the public and went to jail of his own volition the same instance he remembered what he did to his father. As it stands, his preaching is just one big hypocrisy.

If Lelouche is bad, then Suzaku is even worse, because Lelouche at least realizes that his methods are brutal and far from right, and he himself is a fallen, bad person because of what he's doing regardless of his initial good intentions, but Suzaku doesn't even realize just how far gone he is with his so-called "righteousness" to the point of acting like a god entitled to judge who lives and who dies based solely on the fact that others don't view the world the same as he does.

I pity Euphy but frankly, she had it coming: she, a figure-head through and through, butted in big politics without so much as bothering to learn its rules first, or thinking through her actions and consequences. The zone she proposed was a half-measure at best, a tempopary solution that would have led to even more trouble over time, I'm sure.

Well, anyway, initially I was sceptical about what's so great about Code Geass to make it legendary, but having finished the season, I admit it's worth its hype.

In a sense, I think this injustice he committed is what spurned him on to becoming such a rabid idealist 'for justice' in the first place. Knowing that he is betraying the system in some fundamental way is what gives him the fortitude to obey it wholeheartedly until a dilemma where he has to break a rule in some way or another comes up. It's in these moments where we see the erratic, irrational and emotion-driven side of Suzaku.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

This became a real mess, a trainwreck that started from the middle of the episode 22 untill the meeting of Suzaku and Lelouch in the end of the episode 25.

Srry, but my score dropped from a 8 or 9 to a 5, maybe a 6.

Let me repeat what I said in episode 22 topic, where all the mess, trainwreck started:

"HUAuhaHUaHUhuahua OMG REALLY?!

THIS IS FOR FANSERVICE PURPOSES ONLY, NE?!

He just had to lost control of his Geass power when he said exactly "Kill all the Nippons". And to get worse, exactly to who was that?! To Euph, of course.

Coincidence?! Don't call me this shit coincidence! Nor forcing a coincidence here is possible in how much this was disgusting.

This episode ruined everything for me. Just shit.

And Lelouch and CC relationship is exactly the same relationship of Shu and Inori from Guilty Crow. Exactly the kind of relationship that I hate the most due to their hole in the story. The "good" guy pretending to be the "bad" guy and using even its friends and everything else in his reach to accomplish its purposes of "I'll save the world", and with a female character that provides the necessary conditions to reach his goal, and that will stay forever beside him no matter what happens... Pff... I Hate it the most.

Oh, there are some other coincidences that I let pass.
But this one specific, that happened in this episode, nor forcing it to be a coincidence it's possible, in how ridiculous was that.

I'm very pissed right now, my desire to give this a 8 or maybe a 9 went down to a 6 or 5."

-Oh, and for the guys saying: "They kissed!" or "I wasn't expecting their kiss!"
Give me a break, please. This was the most obvious thing that could have happened. If you're a "newbie" in the anime/manga world, IIt is justifiable, on the contrary..... you still continue to be a "newbie" even watching so many animes.
Do not get me wrong.

-Now, let me say this taking advantage of the calm state that I got for some seconds: I hope that I do not see these ridiculous things that I've said that happened from the middle of ep.22 untill the end of 25, in S2.

Despite 22 having a couple of infamous issues, I still think episodes 23, 24 and 25 are actually pretty great and some of the best ones in the whole series. Especially when you can see a lot of the telegraphing for events that will happen much later in S2.

There's a lot of chaos, indeed, but that's precisely the point. It works for the characters themselves and matches the big picture of both Lelouch's plans as well as the premise's over-the-top nature. Lelouch couldn't win because, one way or another, he wasn't ready to fully embrace his role at this stage of the game. That does change during the second season, at least in the long run, but at the end of season one he is still tied down by his impulses.

These last few episodes have been one hell of a ride. Hard to believe the first season is over, going to need a break and some sleep before I can start on R2.

I was hoping for a non-cliffhanger ending but I'll admit I liked the ending nonetheless. Lot of things to wonder about. I know Suzaku is pissed and emotionally unstable probably after having Euphy die but telling Lelouch that he is a mistake and needs to be wiped off the planet seems a bit much coming from his character. With talk like that I can only imagine Suzaku spiraling into hatred and no longer being the "white knight of justice" that he was the entire show.

I kind of agree with the others who said Lelouch should have told Suzaku that he didn't mean to use the geass on Euphie in the first place and that his intention that day was to join up with her like Suzaku said. However, I can see character wise why he didn't say it and just gave a typical Lelouch/Zero response. He always tries to stay in control and never show any weaknesses, especially around other people.

As for Kallen her reaction is a bit hard for me to read. She seems really shaken up about the reveal which is understandable but I can't imagine her deciding to turn on Zero/Lelouch. Seriously I don't think it would make any sense at all, Kallen has put all of her faith in Zero this whole show and besides Diethard maybe(but I still won't rule him out as turning at some point) she is his most loyal follower. I know she can't be pissed at him not being Japanese, I'm pretty sure everyone in the black knights found that out when they went to that meeting at the mining area.

I still love Lelouch as my favorite character but damn I wish he made smarter decisions for how intelligent he is. I don't think the resistance has any chance of winning their fight without Zero guiding and assisting them and that sucks since this was pretty much their biggest chance to topple Britannia's hold on Japan. But we all know he had to go save Nunnally, I don't think that will ever change for his character. She is his entire reason for living and fighting Britannia. If he were to lose her everything he has done up until now would mean nothing to him and he would probably give up on living.

Also, R.I.P. Euphy, R.I.P. random black knight girl who random black knight guy liked, Ohgi please don't die, and Nina feel free to die.

I see that Suzaku finally decided to drop the nice guy act...Like Lelouch said, the biggest hypocrite aroud here is him.

Somebody needs to put Villetta down for good before she starts opening her mouth about Zero's identity.
