Code Geass R2 Episode 13 Review
Well, Code Geass R2 episode 13 certainly didn’t turn out the way anyone thought it would. Nice wrap up for that little scene though. Clean and efficient. Sad, let’s not forget sad. Need to get flowers for the funeral. 5 comments
Code Geass R2 Episode 12 Review
I never really thought about it this way, but if Lelouch were not so hell bent on destroying Britannia he could be getting a shitload of pussy with the Geass. Hell, even without the Geass, he could get all the action he wanted. Code Geass R2 episode 12 was a large assortment of gags with just enough story progression thrown in to make you antsy. And btw, has anyone noticed that only complete flunkies for characters stay dead in this anime? No comments
Code Geass R2 Episode 11 Review
Code Geass R2 episode 11 was an interesting amalgamate of action, human drama, and comedy that made it better than a mixed berry yogurt smoothie. Toss in some real story progression and C.C. and you get an episode that somewhat redeems Code Geass R2 as a series so far. Bear with me, this will be relatively long. 1 comment
Code Geass R2 Episode 10 Review
Code Geass R2 episode 10 sticks us straight into the action as Lelouch is hightailing it after having crashed a wedding. Once again, we are faced with a plan that was proceeding smoothly when a wrench was thrown in the gears, by Xing Ke. Lelouch is starting to give himself a bad name by screwing up yet another one of his schemes. At least this way it’s believable that Lelouch is still at Ashford Academy. Btw wtf? 2 comments
Code Geass R2 Episode 9 Review
After a week’s break, we’re back with Code Geass R2 Episode 9. Bailing from Japan proper, Lelouch and his gang of one million exiles run away to some island in the middle of nowhere. Zero is finally faced with the second prince Schneizel, who is his apparent equal in brains and strategy, and something of a superior in looks. No comments
Code Geass R2 Episode 8 Review
I was actually wondering about the end of the opening where Zero and the Order of the Black Knights are all standing in front of a huge crowd of people that I assumed were Japanese. At least Code Geass R2 episode 8 explains that. In continuation of episode 7, Zero somehow manages to make everyone else as questioning as he was about who they are and where they stand, and so on.

Code Geass Episode 7 Review
Code Geass R2 episode 7 hmm… I’m not really sure what to say. It is a period of deep introspection for Lelouch as he examines whether or not he wants to continue with his empire overthrowing, patricidal rebellion now that Nunnally is safe and sound and apparently in charge. 2 comments
Code Geass R2 Episode 6 Review
Most who have played direct competition games before have some sense of what it is like to lose, or be losing. You start getting frantic and start making stupid and desperate moves that are easy to for the opponent to see through and swat aside but you do it anyways in vain hopes that it will succeed anyways. This feels like what Zero has been doing for the last six episodes of Code Geass R2. Half of his plans have gone awry in some way or another, and often they’re partially seen through even before it is over. The only thing he has had reasonable success at is keeping his awakening as Zero a secret, and even that kitty may be out of the bag now. Maybe he should take up igo instead of chess. No comments
Code Geass R2 Episode 5 Review
Ah poor Lelouch… he seems to be trying to juggle so many schemes that you wonder how he can manage it all. But Lelouch, being Lelouch, is somehow able to keep them all afloat, and even if he did drop one he would just geass you so you thought he gave a perfect performance. 4 comments
Code Geass R2 Episode 4 Review
Code Geass R2 episode 4 is finally out and we get to see firsthand what it takes to be an empire overthrowing mastermind: evil, twisted, conniving, sadistic—in other words all the things we admire in a man. Even if you don’t, apparently chicks like C.C. and Kallen do. No comments
