It's probably best if Luke lower his expectations of the ending, cause its very likely that it won't turn out to be that impactful or meaningful for him, given how Luke has been feeling about the story in the past reaction videos. I know the ending has been hyped up, but if you're not invested in the story, the journey itself, then the ending will just be meaningless to you...

Khanh Minh

And given that AOT is Luke's fav, comparison might be unavoidable at the end

Connor Hennessy

Lelouch does not tell anybody, because it is still HIS fault. His weakness and indecisiveness lead to his Geass going out of control. This whole series has been about him struggling with his lies and his "mask". He dropped the mask for Euphie, he had forsaken his ambition to obliterates Britania in that moment, and he was punished for it. He has two goals "Destroy Britania" and "Make a peaceful world for Nunally", and balancing those is not easy. Also, leaders generally should not apologize or admit fault. An accident reveals a lack of control and power, and this subconsciously affects people. It just isn't good PR. ALSO GUNBUSTER FOR PATREON pllllease

Suraj ayinde

I like how Luke is so suprised about Lelouch's mother appearing like they haven't been teasing it for a whole season now.

Joku Jussi

I always had the same feelings about the mecha part as you do. It's just ridiculous. But I always looked past it and concentrated on the good sides of this anime. Great characters, good story, plot twists. Would be 10/10 anime, but 9/10 is more appropriate as the mecha concept is executed very badly. They say that these people are "ace" pilots and stuff, but all that matters is new tech in every episode.

Abraham Perez

Motivation. That is what he needs to understand. The motivations and reasons for why each character does what they do. That honestly is the biggest thing about this show is understanding the motivation that each character brings and why things happen the way they do

Palm
>>137729774

I watched thus far without knowing that AOT was his favorite. That explains a lot. But I agree with you. Right now I think he will be disappointed in both the ending and the show.

K.O Tsitra Eht

blinks in visible confusion* GOT, everyone can have whatever opinions that they want, you don't have to obviously love every show we recommend. But I have no idea why you react so negatively about a military research branch upgrading their mechs. Could you explain? I'm genuinely confused. Is it weird to you that during war, military upgrades their technology?

Connor Hennessy

You said it yourself "to put it simply". You are putting it too simply. Suzaku naively killed his father in an attempt to stop the fighting (which most likely saved a lot of Japanese lives... probably half the named members of the Black Knights would have died in battle before the series started if not for Suzaku's actions) and he naively joined the military to try to make a change (and became one of the highest ranking people in Britanian society outside of royalty as a result, so he did, in fact, get into the position to make a change). If it weren't for Geass and Lelouch's actions, there is a VERY good chance that he and Euphy (with the help of someone like Schneizel), could one day oust the emperor and create a better Britania. But that just isn't the case. Also, Suzaku was obviously not praising Nina there. He is not happy with what has transpired; it's in the tone of his voice. The reality of the situation is that Britania has basically proven that they won the arms race and victory is assured. He's saying "Thank God this stupid conflict that killed almost everyone I care about is over."

Suraj ayinde
>>137730822

You need to be a good pilot otherwise you wouldn't be able to handle the new tech, the tech isn't just the deciding factor, also it's a war, it's not far fetched that new tech would be discover or existing tech would be improved upon to give one side an edge in the war.

Subaquatic Toaster

They've made it pretty clear that with Suzaku, his goal was to die. Then he had that forcibly taken away from him by Lelouche and his goal became Euphy which was again taken away. Then he wanted to expose Lelouche but now that'd done. He doesn't know what to do now. So he's embracing his role as a killer, someone who killed his father, someone who fired off a nuke into a population center. Lelouche doesn't tell anyone about Euphy because he is still at fault. He had to murder the only family he could still trust other than Nunnaly. He blames himself and it being an "accident" doesn't really mean shit at the end of the day does it? He still gave the order. And he still shot her in the head. Nina devoted herself to science in an attempt to escape her trauma only to realize in the end that it wasn't just numbers on a screen it was actual lives. Same thing that the people who made the first nukes were forced to deal with. But you kinda missed all of that story telling because you were too distracted every time she showed up on screen. You said you wanted to see characters with nowhere left to turn after they lost everything or something along those lines and that's what you're getting. But I think you're missing huge aspects to these characters and that makes me very worried for how the ending is going to go.

K.O Tsitra Eht
>>137731657

Like, just the mention of a new Albion version of Lancelot caused you to roll your eyes. Why? Lancelot, for being a mech piloted by Suzaku, the top of the top of the top of the top pilots in the whole series, recognized by both Schnizel and the Emperor for his abilities... you'd think his mech would be spec'ed up to the highest possible degree at all times, no?

Suraj ayinde

One of the things that makes this series great for me is the characters motivations, each character is motivated by something, either to escape a certain truth they've been hiding from, or to find a truth they are running towards, and for a lot of the characters their motivations have been taken away from them. In a way every character has something in common, yet they are all so different in their morals and ideologys. There is no clear villain, (except Nina), their could be an argument made for every side. Also Lelouch isn't a typical protagonist, he isn't a clear hero, antihero, villain, he's just a guy with his own set of motivations, and his mistakes actually lead to major plot points making it very realistic. If you truly understand everyone's motivation in this series, then you'll start to appreciate it a lot more.

K.O Tsitra Eht
>>137729774

But why would he make any comparison... I mean, he does realise that AOT came after Code Geass, right? If any comparison with his favorite anime is to be made, surely it should logically be to the benefit of Code Geass

K.O Tsitra Eht
>>137730822

Can you explain what exactly you think is done badly with Code Geass mechs? Personally, I think they are handled very well, one of my favorite ways Mechs are done in anime.

FlyingEagle

6:30 This is a big shock, but there were multiple hints that you seemed to always miss 16:05 No, Guilford is not Orange. Jeremiah= Orange, Guilford=Cornelia's Knight who was Geased by Lelouch to think he was Cornelia. 2 quite different people. But you've mixed them up before. 17:55 Hmm, I hear the term Coup de'tat all the time in real-life history and recent conflicts about dictatorships especially in Latin America and Africa. Its a very commonly used term though I suppose in spoken form its often is shortened to coup, while in written form the full name is more common. 24:50 Suzaku gave you a pretty good motivation a minute ago. The emperor sending both Euphemia and Lelouch into despair, and also abanding his duties as emperor 27:00 We'll find out how she is Marianne soon 29:58 Getting expectations right is hard but I think its normal to be uncertain about the show especially in the mid-point of season 2. This is partly because the show hides information from the viewer that is later dramatically revealed and there is so much going on that missing some foreshadowing is almost inevitable on a first watch. It also sets up a lot of pieces that could easily go in much worse directions or fall into traps that Code Geass consistently avoids when the secrets are revealed. The development and loyalty switches of the characters and groups also contribute, as the way you feel about a character does dramatically change over the course of the show as the characters change and their thoughts and allegiances shift.

Shendri27

In france we say the full name "Coup d'état" :)

Connor Hennessy
>>137732023

I also blame all of the people out there that push new watchers to hate Suzaku and Nina because that was there only take away when they initially watched the show as teenagers

Nihilistic Blue

Again, admitting it was an accident takes away from how tragic Euphy's death was and how embarrassing the whole Geass Malfunction situation was for Lelouch so he decided to use it in his favor of motivating the japanese at the time so he takes full responsibility anyway since she's gone. He didnt want to be seen as someone who could fk up this badly and Suzaki would think he was making excuses anyways.

Golladan
>>137731657

Because he doesn't put too much thought into it and thinks the new mechs get made overnight. He doesn't cosider what might be happening behind the scenes.

Subaquatic Toaster
>>137731657

Can't agree more on the confusion. There are two whole military branches on both sides whose sole purpose is upgrading the mechs but its somehow as suprise when they do. Lloyd isn't just there to be sassy and Rakshada isn't just there to be tits. It is very confusing

Hiruman

I do agree with you with most of season 2 is mid and only start picking up in the last few episodes. But there's one thing that anime community will agree that the ending is goated

Sean
>>137731753

Nah, they wouldn't have ousted emperor. Without Lelouch interference Emperor and VV would have achieved their goals earlier on previous island where Geass Order was working. And without Lelouch, Suzaku would have been killed many times so he'd never rise in rank and help establish peace. He was saved in first or second episode from soldiers, then saved from execution, then saved by Geass "must live" command.

Sean
>>137731657

It's because season 2 went crazy with it. Season 1 barely had any upgrades, but this season it's every other episode, more than any other mech anime I've ever watched.

Andrej Simic

You dont need to love all Anime. You just need to enjoy them

Sean
>>137730464

I've been rewatching episodes dubbed before I watch Luke's reactions, and noticed some dialog differences. Some of stuff in dub tips it off a little more, but overall I don't see how you would predict his mom return like this.

Joku Jussi
>>137730822

I can't compare the mecha aspect to other animes as I don't watch mecha animes. But like luke and I said, the constant "upgrades" to the mechas feel tacky and diminishes the skill required to win fights. Every fight is won because of new tech, there's no interesting individual fights in this anime. A technological upgrade once or twice in anime can swing the grand war, like the freya did, but revolutionary tech upgrades in every battle is too much. A surprise tech upgrade can be used as a twist against a strategy, but if that is the twist every time, it's not a plot twist anymore.

Suraj ayinde
>>137730464

It's just the way he was so suprised like this was something completely out of the blue, I expected him to be surprised but not to this degree, after all there were crumbs left on a trail, he just didn't seem to follow them.

Barack O. Llama
>>137735091

yeah but he definitely hasn't enjoy lots of season 2. thats not bad though since it's his opinion and i agree season 1 is better (apart from the series finale)

Barack O. Llama

prayin on ninas downfall on the daily

Yui

Something you should know is that there is a 3 part remake movie trilogy for this show. It changes the plot in some ways (that I won't spoil) and it was made in preparation for a sequel movie that follows the canon of the remake movies. I would recommend avoiding anything mentioning any Code Geass movies until after you finish the show because even just comments about it could introduce spoilers. I think the reason we hold Code Geass as such a beloved and classic anime is because of how inconsistent it is, and how much fun it is. Season 2 in particular is messy and inconsistent but it's just so much fun seeing Lelouch be Lelouch. I was anticipating the Marianne stuff for quite a while so I'm really happy that it's finally happening. I didn't remember that it was so late into the story.

The thing is though, If you really look at it, there aren't really that many actual innovations in s2. If you look at the reveals in s2, it's not really pushing any boundaries, it's just new mechs built that have the same level of technology as the previous ones. I mean, let's take a look at the mech reveals I remember from the top of my head: - Rollo's "teleporting knight" - That's just Lancelot that went into mass production, something to be expected. Teleportation was rollo's geass. - Knight's of the round table Kinghtmares - Again, those are custom models based on the mass production of Lancelot. Anya's mech seems to be most custom, but it is equipped with already existing technology, Lancelot's shield and Gawain's hydron cannon. - The chinese federation mech - again, Lancelot, same float system, same capabilities. Not really innovation (unless you count his spinning kunai on a string as innovation... I don't, lol) - Gurren MK.II upgrade while falling - They outfitted Gurren with a float system, so nothing special there. However, this is where you see ACTUAL first innovation, the capabilities of the Hydron cannon were modified to allow for blocking attacks and wide spread shooting. -Shinkiro - Here, we see the second actual upgrade. The absolute defense is an actual innovation and improvement, It uses, again, Lancelot's shield, but it can project it wherever you want as the pilot. It is good, but it's difficult to use, since you need to predict where the shots will land, so you can activate the shield there. Not suited for improvement or mass production. Same with the cannon, which seems quite innovative, but it is literally a single shot, so not really that great. Apart from those, there really only is the Gurren Seiten, and now the Lancelot Albion. Gurrent Seiten is an actual generational leap, with new technologies, new capabilities, and actual abilities to overpower any other knightmare on the battlefield. Meanwhile Lancelot Albion is just replicating the same tech used in the new Gurren. So out of those two, Gurren is the innovation, Albion is just replicating it.

i think code geass needed a season in the middle of s1 and s2 to really flesh things out on the politics and geass supernatural stuff but even now after watching so many anime, the endings are either, you need to read the manga or light novels to see more or the ending was too rushed, code geass sticks with me because we rarely get such a ending these days except for one other anime this is compared to recently.

Khanh Minh
>>137729774

CG came out before AOT, that doesn't mean he can't make a comparison. I'm like 80% sure that he would make some form of comparison to AOT ending. I have watched a few reactors making the comparison

One G. O A. T. One Dream

Only few more, but certified bangers! And its not just you, this anime is all over the place, but for it has its charm. I mean honestly a good show is a show that can get on your nerves at times. But I Wonder what you final opinion on this will be, looking forward to that.

Khanh Minh
>>137729774

Good for you, though it's obvious that Luke loves AOT and indifferent to CG, and only curious about the ending. That's the big difference

Lu C

I'm looking forward to the next episode. Btw I don't love this anime either 😁 I like the storytelling, plot twist upon plot twists, character writing... This is my 1st rewatch because I still remember some twists and wanted to forgot more.

Khanh Minh
>>137730464

The name Marianne mentioned/CC talking to someone has been R1 ep19, R1 R1 ep23, R1 ep25, R2 ep7, R2 ep10 with Anya flashbacks, R2 ep14. By the end of R1 you should be able figure out that Cc is talking to Marianne somewhere somehow and by R2 you should be able to infer that there's a strange connection between Anya and CC, and if you look carefully at the R2 ep10 flashbacks, you can even infer that it's Marianne memories from chibi Lelouch and chibi Nunally

Khanh Minh
>>137732023

I really hate the hate trains...it prevented new watchers or casual fans from taking the characters seriously and instead just hating them, completely ignoring their character progression/development

One G. O A. T. One Dream
>>137734380

lol "mid" everything is just mid XD But I cant agree, Code Geass is goateed. Like what dose "mid" even mean? seems like the scale goes "Flawless perfect" , "mid", "great" , "good", "ok", "horrible trash". "RDOAH"

K.O Tsitra Eht
>>137730822

But as I explained in one of the comments, there really isn't that much innovation, if you take a look at it. Rollo's knight, Kights of the Round, Chinese federation reveals were all just Lancelot going into mass production. That's not really innovation. Besides, if we look at important battles in s2, most of them were not won based on the new Mech, but rather based on strategy. The first battle in the tower, despite the fact that the enemy had the "teleporting knight" (which was just Lancelot with geass, not an upgrade) Lelouch won by crashing the tower. In the battle under water, Lelouch found out about a gas refinery underground. By blowing it up, creating bubbles to form, he won. In the battle with the Chinese federation. Neither of the "revealed mech" was anything new really, and neither created a victory in battle. Chinese side turned the tide not because of their mech (which was, again, just Lancelot), but rather by sinking the enemy in their soil. Lelouch did not turn the tide of war with a mech (which was the first case of actual innovation in S2, btw), he turned the tide of war by turning chinese people against the government. I won't even mention the fact that GOT rolled his eyes in the battle with V.V., where all the anime did, was just bring back a mech from Season 1. Lol Really, of ALL s2, Shinkiro and Gurren Seiten are the only really innovative mechs.

K.O Tsitra Eht
>>137729774

Am I going to be put on a cross, if i say that AOT bored me too much to get to the ending? *chuckle

Lu C

Claymore recommendation.

SamJaz

Code Geass Season 2 famously a trainwreck of a dumpsterfire that sticks the landing into one of the greatest anime endings of all time. You've gotten past the last of the bad parts and there is nothing but peak after this. I am once again putting forward Black Lagoon as an anime you should react to.

Khanh Minh

Taking responsibility/the blame for Euphy's incident is Lelouch's sense of justice, a very important point to pay attention to

Vayz

If you keep going 2 by 2, it means you'll have 25 to do on its own PLEASE PLEASE consider doing 23-24-25 in a row! This has one of the best endings of all time, and i think binge watching the ending elevates it, as all context and foreshadowing will be fresh.

Potter889

Going to recommend Monogatari again. You liked Bunny Girl Senpai and Monogatari is a big inspiration for it. With Monogatari returning this summer there is lots of hype with fans that you can react to it soon ( you also need to finish reacting to the rest of the openings and endings). Given it is longer, I don’t mind, however, if we do a shorter Patreon exclusive first, like Bocchi the Rock, especially since that was the second choice on the last poll. Monogatari is just going to get longer, so it would be better to react to it sooner than later

Darkad

Don't worry it's a rollercoaster for sure but you're done with all the 'bad' parts, enjoy the ending :)

Hiruman
>>137734380

Put mid between good and ok. I used to think Geass is the best mecha anime (it's Gurren Lagann now, sorry Geass) and in my top 5 anime of all time. But after rewatching it few years ago in preparation of Geass movie, I realized how flawed the second season was compared to the first one.

Dawe

For me, Code Geass have best ending of every show what i saw.

Kacknoobing

pls watch 23, 24 and 25 together, you dont need to publish the episodes together. But just watch them as a pack. Black Lagoon next pls.

Zer0

Lelouch actually blames himself for Euphe so he won't try to put the blame on anyone else or try to explain it away.

Zero

Please watch the movie even if it isn’t canon please please please

Zer0

Issue with running a channel like this is your audience will always hype their favorite anime. When the fans of Code Geass first watch the series they didn't have someone saying, "wait for the ending", "your going to love the ending", and "the ending is the best." Because of this they unintentionally over hype the show to the point the one watching it is disappointed or questioning that they are missing something. I hope with future reactions you take these types of praises and hype with a grain of salt. I also hope that the audience does not do a disservice to the shows they love.

Joku Jussi
>>137730822

Yeah, you are right. I think mecha anime is just not for me and my head is making things up at this point. Code geass is still one of my favorite animes ever so it's not like it matters that much.

Jeff

I feel like people that say the 'ending is the best' is because there was no one telling them the ending was the best so it came completely unexpected and had a different impact. The only problem of watching anime years and years after the fact is, in my opinion, is that you have people overhyping or hyping up of any sorts, where when watching in the moment, everyone is in it at the same time line, no one to allude to or hint at how the outcome will be. Saying the ending is great/the best is almost a spoiler of sorts in itself because it leaves the viewer with an idea of what to expect from the story. Same with being told ahead of time' a certain episode is peak' or etc, I feel changes the journey of the one watching to be less organic as it could be.

Nikkelz

Luke at the start of the series "I hate orange" Luke at the end of the series "I hate everyone EXCEPT orange"

ArtKi

6:18 I'm calling it right here. This is the widest Luke has EVER opened his mouth. He'll need surgery to do better. 14:06 I command you to obey my orders. That seems like cheating. "You get 3 wishes" - Genie "I wish for 1,000 more wishes" - Lelouch, probably OTOH, his geass power has been increasing so maybe it's legit.

ArtKi
>>137729676

I thoroughly that. have you seen the live action movie? I wouldn't say it's "good' but it is a unique experience.

Golladan
>>137731657

And to add to that, it's also not something that came out of nowhere overnight. There is a time skip of 1 year between the end of the first season and the start of the second season. During which time the all R&D departments were working on upgrading their technology. Basically everthing up until the Guren Seiten is from that time period. Or maybe even before; the Shen Hu was created alongside the Guren, but was left unused because nobody could pilot it. The Shinkiro is based on the tech of the Gawain, which Rakshata's team had recovered from the bottom of the ocean after season 1. The Guren Seiten is what happened when Lloyd's team got their hands on Rakshata's tech. Just as the Guren MK-II is what happened when Rakshata got her hands on Lloyd's tech.

LMPGames

Luke: "I want to see an unhinged Suzaku." Suzaku goes unhinged. Luke: "What the hell is going on?!" Classic Luke getting what he asked for lmao I always looked at Suzaku during these eps up through 22 as being a "Heath Ledger Joker" type of Suzaku. He is just done with it all, done with his own bullshit and everyone else's and just wants things to be over in a just way even if that means throwing things into chaos for a while and turning on people.

isaac basabe

Definetely has his flaw, the anime has some random episodes that should be replaced by some other that should explain more about the plot or some situations, is hard to follow when many things are rushed or occurring out of scene... being said that... code geass is an original anime that is not based in any manga or light novel. His writting is really good and the characters are well written, other wise you wouldn't want to throw Nina through a windows. And yes, the final of code geass is one of the best finale in anime history so far, just as good as FMAB final. This is my list for you to consider in next reactions. - Psycho pass [My top 2 anime after code geass, is a seinen, triller] - A place further than the universe [If you want a happy and great aventure] - Monster [One of the best seiner, triller out there] - Gantz [Really dark, however is incompleted] - Inuyashiki [You will love this one and have 8 episodes] - Claymore [Good, but incompleted] - Clannad [Good slice of life but you will cry] - Interspecies Reviewers [High tone commedy, cannot be on youtube] - MOB PSYCO 100% [Good shounen with commedy] - Tower of GOD [based on another Mahwa, same as solo leveling]

Antoine Jones
>>137730464

when is Marianne ever teased? Sure there was some scenes here and there with CC talking to someone but I just assumed it was VV she was talking to

Antoine Jones
>>137731657

because he claims that upgrades are normal but the technology shouldnt be changing as fast as it is. i.,e in real life we didnt for fro shooting muskets to having assault rifles 6 months later.. that took DECADES to finally come. But Luke is sayin this show goes from muskets to assualt rifles after just one battles... which is only weeks or months apart

Talix Rune

Symphogear, Utena, Kara no Kyoukai/Garden of Sinners would be great too. It's a series of movies though so you would need to chop it up to keep similar time frames, and only Movie 3 would specifically need to be Patreon only from what I remember

Suraj ayinde
>>137730464

When she was talking to someone, she even mentioned Marianne's name giving us conformation as to who she was talking to.

Xhaxhu

I'm throwing another vote out there for Black Lagoon Dubbed.

Dasher

I'm normally quite critical in these reactions, but the "I am Team Orange, everyone else can suck a lemon" line is just perfect.

Khanh Minh
>>137730464

You can refer to R21 ep23 after CC consoled Lelouch after the Euphy's incident. The name drop Marianne is there, I can even give you the timestamp if you want

K.O Tsitra Eht
>>137731657

Take a look at WW2. Let's look at examples from Germany. Started the war with Panzer II and IIIs, small, light, small cannon, weak against most heavy weaponry. a couple years later, introduced Panzer VI Tiger and Tiger II, which are much bigger, heavier, big new guns, protected against most weapons. Let's look at planes, Germany started the war barely knowing how to make single winged aircraft, a lot of fighters were still double winged, which was an outdated design. 4 years later, and they were developing jet propelled aircraft, like the Me 262 (its first flight was in 1941, only 2 years after the war broke out.) They build Ho 229, a flying wing design, fully jet powered using the first stealth technology. In fact, At the end of the war, both Allies and Axis were racing who could be the first to develop nuclear weaponry, something unheard of in 1939. Same thing we're seeing in the current Ukrainian war. Every month Ukraine is USING a new drone, a new missile, new EW system into the battlefield, to conduct tests in battle. (in fact, a new magura 5 drone carrying a missile launcher has been used for the first time in April this year.) Code Geass shows exactly that. WIth 2 countries the size of almost half the world, both are desperate enough to have their scientific teams almost at the battlefield, throwing their newest innovations whenever ready to test on the battle and see what sticks.

Also.... Imagine telling your enemy "OH no, I just ACCIDENTALLY killed that government official of yours that just happened to conveniently sway the Japanese population to my cause. It wasn't on purpose." Like... that sounds like the most absurd, flat out lie that you could come up with.

Lord Jeremiah has the same effect as Stroeheim from JoJo. I mean, yeah, he WAS a general for a dictatorial army who enjoyed slaughtering peaceful civilians for fun... but he is just so f*cking cool, you can't help but love him.

Crayonz

I wish more people could hear your take at the end of the video. This is how i felt even after finishing the series. Yes, the ending is very good. However, the episodes leading up to it seem to just be copy pasted with a few twists and turns. I didn't care for a lot of the middle episodes at all. Then you have people praising it like its the best anime to ever exist and that's just wrong.

kuro

I recommend you Assassination Classroom

Jowell

Psycho-Pass next for Patreon exclusive anime. It would fit well on Patreon for the mature themes, gore, and partial nudity it has. It's not your typical good vs evil shounen show and instead has an intriguing dystopian sci-fi/cyberpunk setting. One of my favorite shows without generic or over the top anime tropes.

Chrono 1002

I think it's understandable if not everything is liked in Code Geass, since it's all over the place a lot of times, but to me it feels like solving a puzzle. While you are in the middle of trying to solve it, it may not be fun or confusing, but when you see the solution, you can appreciate what happened till that point. That's what the ending of Code Geass feels like.

Hector

Vote for Higurashi

Hector

Vote for Psycho Pass

Itto Sanzzo

Another call for Psycho-pass next... And the Code Geass movie too, it's not like, canon, but was a nice ending for the show

Hector

Any evidence to the so-called copy pasted twists and turns? Also, name one anime that is perfect from the start to the end.

Maybe we better just give a certain anime a very high rating without saying what makes it superb

True, and I don't care how "messy", as some edgy people claimed, the middle is

I was about to say that until I found your comment lol Well, sometimes assuming the English-speaking world is equivalent to the whole world is quite a behaviour of ignorance, no offence

Nothing is perfect and to call anything perfect would be ignorant. I was even going to comment that one of my favorite animes ever is 86 but i could still point out many things wrong with it. Code Geass just didnt hit the way I thought it was going to because of how absolutely hyped it is. I'm not the only one that shares that take (exhibit A: luke's opinion at the end of the video). Also, I wasn't saying the twists and turns were copy pasted. I was saying a lot of the episodes are copy/pasted other than a few twists and turns (which I enjoyed). For example, I don't like how the show can be loosely broken up into generic battle scenes 1-10 that have slightly different outcomes. If Code Geass is your favorite anime, by all means keep it that way. I have my favorite animes and you can have yours. I'm not trying to take a hit at the show. I'm glad i watched it. However, I was mainly just referencing people in comments and such that preach that CG is god's gift to earth. Regardless of all that, Hector on patreon isn't going to magically open my eyes to the beauty and amazingness that is code geass (respectfully).

Agree, the clear cut concept of good vs evil that Luke always brings up has been bugging me

Hector
>>137732023

I appreciate your detailed explanation but I don't think Luke will read it all unfortunately... I'd recommend Letts React if you want some quality reaction to Code Geass, although they watch the show dubbed

In addition to this, his obsession with who are in team hero and who are in team villain is also consistently bugging me

Hector
>>137729774

I agree, like many people aren't a fan of SAO but Luke keeps defending it lol

Hector
>>137729774

Same haha I'm not a fan of the titan thing. I tried to resist the temptation to drop the anime several times but failed lmao

I don't actually think its "inconsistent" or at least not in the most important ways related to character/faction motivations and power systems. On every rewatch Im more impressed with how consistent and well-written the character's moves are and how much foreshadowing for the major events there is. I do think we could have done with a bit more world exploration especially around the secret Geass facility and perhaps a bit less school stuff, though I'm not sure if that's at all close to what you were referring too.

At this point no one is surprised of his side switching… Orange boy never believes his master is dead. Where did come from Lady Marianne?

I want to give some words of appreciation here, because this reaction series, and especially the parts you are critical about right now, have made me appreciate Code Geass even more than I did before. So Code Geass is and has always been a 10/10 anime for me. But also, since I first watched it as a teenager with little critical media literacy, I was never able to watch the series critically without having the full picture. And that caused me to miss aspects of character arcs and decisions that in hindsight are immensely important. Your critiques have allowed me to think better about what these character moments mean, and with the added context of knowing the series start to finish (with this being at least the 5th time I will watch the series to the end) I have gained new appreciation for many characters. I wish I could explain exactly why that is, but that would require spoiling the entire rest of the series, so I won't. I just hope you keep up the great reactions, and I'm looking forward to watching the final leg of the series again, with your reactions :D

Code geass isn’t a perfect anime by any means but the love for this anime comes mainly because of lelouch, his character has a lot of flaws his plans doesn’t always workout as expected but he always stuck to his ideals and he is self aware that what he is doing is wrong but still follows through it and is ready to accept the punishment for his mistakes and doesn’t make up excuses for it. Lelouch hates to make any excuses for his actions that’s why he never admits to Suzaku that he killed euphy by accident. The most iconic quote from episode 1 that still stands evergreen ‘The only ones who should kill, are those are prepared to be killed”. He stands to his words throughout

I really appreciate the honesty shown in these reactions! To openly say there have been times you haven't enjoyed it, and seeing someone genuinely watch it and not hype up every episode/arc/plot-point as if it's the best thing ever has been extremely refreshing. As much as I love Code Geass, and have from the first time I watched it many many years ago, I think we can all appreciate that is by no means perfect and does have moments where it severely drops off.

Jon

its not perfect and definately has drop off moments but no anime is perfect, a truly great anime, like this, can take that and say hey fuck it we will bounce back even better and thats exactly what happens and part of the reason that makes code geass so awesome
