| Just finish re-watching the first episode of R2 and it was pretty good. I'm foreseeing a lot of soap type drama. |

| I love how everyone at AN is pissed off that they ignored the cliffhanger completely in episode 1. I personally think it's great, to be honest, I would've been disappointed had they started exactly where S1 left off and just gave you what you wanted right away. |
| RahXephon is raging! |
| I think (like me) people thought the show was very good up till that terrible ending, so they were hoping the next season would clear that up. They were the ones that decided to give us that crap last season they should expect this reaction :P |
  |
| They aren't going to alienate any new viewers by continuing straight from 25, its ratings suicide and believe me they care about ratings since CG R2 had about 10+ different commercials. (not to mention that every medium pizza hut box is a code geass box until May 11th) Some people are acting like they aren't even going to address it which is just crazy talk. Season 1 aired 1 am Friday or 25:00 Thursday if you prefer. Season 2 airs 5pm Sundays. They are trying to retain their core audience as well as appeal to new ones whose first experience of Geass is R2. According to people watching it streamed live they were pimping the dvds for the first season hardcore on ads. You don't have to like it but realize why they did it. |
| I think that's the main reason, but I thought it was downright entertaining myself. Personally, like I mentioned before, I was glad they didn't start up from 25 immediately, it just would've felt odd going fast paced right off the bad. Plus it makes me interested in exactly how everything ended up that way, and I await the explanation, but if the next few episodes involve the Black Knights refroming and etc, I won't mind either. |
| I liked the ending of season 1. Also in before the Suzaku hate. |
| Kallen in the year long gap probably realized the she and the black knights were nothing without Zero and that it doesn't matter that he's a Brittanian. Also she probably likes him! |
| I'm sure CC must have come up with some kind of story. Kallen lives for Japan and would happily die for Japan if it helped the cause even in the slightest. For Zero to abandon the Black Knights right when they needed them the most would have struck her as betrayal of the highest order. CC must have fed her some bull like he was on a pizza run or something. |
| Kallen is definitely in love with zero and probably like lelouch so ... im sure it was easy for her to forgive him especially if she believed he left to save his sister. |
|
| DazarGaidin don't be weak when Japan needs you! Japan > One sister unless that sister is Kallen <3 ...but then Kallen would be my sister. Dam it. How about Kallen >Japan. |
| My theory is that: Anyway, that's my opinion/theory. |
| ^ i think your theory is spot on. |
|
| Emperor/V.V is after C.C, they could've killed Lelouch any time they wanted to but if C.C is still around she can just make a contract with someone else. Even though their plan to capture C.C backfired and Lelouch regained his memories they at least know what they are dealing with when it comes to Lelouch and they have a trump card against him in Nunally. |
| The amount of bunny girl Kallen hentai on the danbooru imageboard is absurd but I guess expected! |
| Curse you CC for stopping the bunny hunt. I was gunning for Kallen! |
| Yeah the kallen bunny hentai was inevitable :D Its almost like the studios want people to make them . I thought the same thing with the foot massage scene in death note. I was like 'oh boy, the scene that will spawn 1000 yaoi doujin has been born" lol |
|
| I read that Episode 2 explains the ending of season 1, this should shut up some people finally. I haven't read any spoilers yet since a fansub version will be out in like.. what 5-6 hours? |

| They got straight to the point in episode 2. *continues watching* |
| I commented over at AN, but I'll snip the highlights: |
| Someone leaked the last 7 mins of R2 03 on the net, rumor has it someone in Sunrise got arrested lolz. At least I know what Rollos geass does now. |
| Oh man, that's gotta be insane. I remember reading a blog where a guy staked out the HQ and rifled through their trash, finding a bunch of discarded Gundam designs and stuff, but wow, the last seven minutes leaked? HO-LEE CRAP. Also, the last seven minutes are already done?! |
| How long until Geass gets pushed into a late night slot because of low ratings like RahXephon did in 2002? *2.7% (*1.1%) 04/12 (Sat) *2:10am-*2:40am TBS Macross FRONTIER *2.6% (*2.7%) 04/11 (Fri) *2:10am-*2:40am TBS To LOVE-Ru -Trouble- *2.6% (*3.0%) 04/13 (Sun) *5:00pm-*5:30pm TBS Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 [Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2] A stupid 2 week hiatus will kill their rating. So much for the idea of moving to an afternoon to increase viewers because Frontier which airs in the same slot as S1 Geass out rated it. |
| Meh, as long as they air the whole thing, I don't care about the timeslot, since I don't want Geass to be more than 2 seasons. I love Sunrise and all, but when they start getting into sequel territory they start to get shitty. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm loving Geass R2 so far, the pacing is nice and slow at the moment, seems some people wanted it to come running out of the gate with the same intensity of season 1, and we saw what happened to Gundam SEED DESTINY when it tried that. Hopefully Gundam 00 S2 will take time to build up again as well. |
| I just hope its a time slot change and not a reduction in episodes. |
| They really redeemed themselves with episode 2. Its exactly what i wanted, to know what happened after the cliffhanger. |
|
| I watched episode one & two, and I loved it. I'm more interested in Rollo which he have the geass, and what ability of his geass. Kalllen + wears bunny outfit = HOT. |
Hopefully they layed the foundations for "War" between Kallen and C.C this episode. |
| It would be cooler if it wasn't war, but cohabitation :P Multiple wives aren't taboo in their world right? :D |
|
| Watched 3 last night, pretty good episode. The interplay with kallen and CC was great. "C.C. you shoulda wore the bunny suit!" was great.. |
|
DazarGaidin said: It would be cooler if it wasn't war, but cohabitation :P Multiple wives aren't taboo in their world right? :D Multiple wives will still fight with each other :\ Anyway Kallen needs an incident to happen that will make Lelouch actually romantically interested in her. Kallen seemed to start liking him until his "11's deserve this" rant (or whatever he said) and she "adored" her Zero so she has to deal with them two being the same person. Lelouch has already seen everything of Kallen and he was cold as ice dealing with her bunny suit. Oh yeah quoting the Geass director in an interview - There'll be romantic developments for Lelouch in season 2; the writers deliberately kept them out of season 1 because they felt they needed to show what Lelouch's goals are without complicating matters (PASH! Taniguchi interview) |
| I was hoping for more of a reaction from viletta at her man getting executed :\ altho she did seem to take a particular notice in him. I am still clinging to the hope of more development in that story (it would really suck if she shot him and that was it) |
|
| What's the bigger twist, Viletta going back to ougi or ougi back stabbing Zero for Viletta, I'm going with the latter to actually happen. I just hope the loudmouth fucker in the black knights dies. |
| I would like to see her going back to him, and even in the first i saw ougi going against zero. I don't think he could join britannia but you can tell he doesn't like zero's methods either. I am hoping he might change viletta's racist views some, considering she lived that life (and enjoyed it i think) |
|
| Love conquers all eh? That would be a bit lame if it did happen. Viletta's a high ranking britannia soldier who i would have guessed has spend years to get to the position she is in at the moment. To give it up just for ougi would be a major cop out in my mind. Besides i like the mad bitch she is at the moment :) Cold and ruthless! We do not need another caring school girl type character. |
| Come on, how many ruthless racist britannian's do you need? Its not so much 'love conquers all' as 'walk a mile in another man's shoes' lesson. She had a chance to see what life as an 11 is like, and even enjoy life. Ougi was compassionate enough to overlook the fact she is not only another race, but his very own enemy. |
|
| Ougi is for lack of a better word a terrorist. If you have any chance of liberating Japan then you need to be ruthless in how you go about things. The fact that he fell in love was why he was shot in the first place. Hes a good man but this isn't the place for good people I'm afraid. I guess viletta didn't want to slum it with the 11s lol. |
| I can't understand people who don't think a Kallen and Lelouch pairing is possible, probably won't happy anyway but not seeing any basis for it is being blind. She's clearly the second most likely option after C.C if they pair Lelouch up with someone in the first place. In addition to having the most fan service she's easily had the most development so far in the second season. |
| OH yeah, kallen has always been a strong possibility and i'd think in the first season even equal to C.C...who really didnt show much interest in lulu beyond her own goals until later in the season. THe only problem is, how much is lelouch just using kallen. With C.C. its more like she is using him and vice versa, so that puts her at an advantage in that regard.. |
|
| Yeah Kallen's biggest problem is that the only possible romantic interest Lelouch sees as an equal is C.C. Lots of time for that to change though and Kallen will have ample opportunity throughout the series. Anyway lol @ this. Someone "As Skyfall mentioned there are so many hurdles for Shirley to go through it would feel very forced. Not to mention one character staying with another out of guilt is not something I think people want to see." Me "Lol tell that to the Haruka fanbase from KGNE/Rumbling Hearts." Someone Else "This message has been deleted by Skyfall. Reason: we don't need KGNE drama here, thank you" smh @ Haruka fans still being bitter. |
