Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2

One year has passed since the Black Rebellion, a failed uprising against the Holy Britannian Empire led by the masked vigilante Zero, who is now missing. At a loss without their revolutionary leader, Area 11's resistance group—the Black Knights—find themselves too powerless to combat the brutality inflicted upon the Elevens by Britannia, which has increased significantly in order to crush any hope of a future revolt.

Lelouch Lamperouge, having lost all memory of his double life, is living peacefully alongside his friends as a high school student at Ashford Academy. His former partner C.C., unable to accept this turn of events, takes it upon herself to remind him of his past purpose, hoping that the mastermind Zero will rise once again to finish what he started, in this thrilling conclusion to the series.

Code Geass is an absurdly well developed story that combines intricate mind game strategy/tactics and captivating pathos/characterization. With no wasted episodes, characters, or even subplots (debatably) Code Geass cements itself well as a thematic, humanistic, and profoundly communicative work, defining not just the mecha genres focus on the stories behind the pilots, but the wars and politics that invoke such machines. Are terrorists a reflection of the fear mongering, unjust systems they combat, or are they to be held in contempt for their methods? Is there really a "better way" or are the falsely righteous just stalling the real progressives? are means and ends one ... in the same when meddled with by fragile, deeply human hearts, led astray by every necessary yet cruel deception? So many major ethical questions approached at the individual and societal level, but so much room to interpret for yourself, and decide which characters reflect "valid" moral propositions. For the sake of it's status as an anime (mecha anime in particular), and it's prowess in characterization, mind games, and general storytelling PEEP CODE GEASS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!! There's so much more to talk about with this show, but I'm lazy..

Mixed Feelings

Honestly, Code Gueass piqued my attention when Attack on Titans ended and I saw someone comparing Eren to Lelouch. Back then, I thought that there was no way another main character could have such a bad ending as well. After finishing Code Geass I stand to my initial belief. Eren and Lelouch are not alike in my opinion. They do share some questionable methods, though.

I really liked Lelouch and I honestly found the show interesting. There are some moral discussions throuought it; battle scenes are okay. What stands out is Lelouch's strategies and ways of thinking. The plot lacks consistency in some important points and ... a bunch of characters changes their opinions way too easily, but nothing I haven't seen before.

Lelouch tragetory is tragic and bittersweet, so for those who enjoy this taste, Code Geass is worthy watching!

Coming off the high of Code Geass season 1, season 2 sorely disappoints. It tries to be a story of epic proportions, but just misses the mark. From the very first episode, it doesn't immediately follow the events at the end of season 1, jumps around even more than at the end of season 1, and season 2 only gets worse from there. The scattered and constant skipping of scenes ultimately turns the overall narrative into a jumbled, incongruent mess, filled to the brim with innumerable contradictions and plot holes. AND it's even worse of a knightmare to keep track of events and of where ... the story's at than the second half of season 1 was. Unsure if that's what the writers were aiming for in the first place. Just like George Lucas turned out to be the phantom menace of his own franchise, the writers of this anime's second season turned out to be ledouches of their own rebellion. The very frequent and pronounced Pizza Hut product placements/corporate shilling scenes/episodes constantly made me very hungry for pizza, was personally distracting, and took away precious time from progressing or telling the actual story. Season 2 had good animation, art, music, and sometimes cool gundam battles that acts as a veil (or a zero mask) for its terribly executed, nonsensical plot twists and vapid or fatally flawed philosophical quandaries. Season 2 started off as a 6 or 7, but ended up as a 1 or 2. Meet in the middle and it gets a 4/10 donut (the substanceless empty in the center kind of donut) recommend.
