----------------------------------------
An alright movie overall I guess.

The movie runs about an hour but damn, that Julius guy reminds me of Lelouch with an eye patch. Action was decent although I was hoping for a bit more.

I'm somewhat impressed by this movie although I'm still not used to the OST yet. The fighting just keeps on continuing ;.;. I'm glad Reira has a right track in mind now though. Akito is pretty badass in this movie.

Not bad overall imo. I definitely see a continuation with this. Intense ending.

The three still don't believe what she promised. From the escape, it was learned that Matsuoka-san's character bombed his classmates from getting treated badly and met guild. The three keep rebelling.

Wow, that red? brown? hair guy from Britannia? is crazy. During the fight, the power (the same power that Lulu has) controlled Akito and went berserk, which affected others, too. The power is given by someone from Britannia, who is his brother. He came to pick him up, but Akito wanted to kill him.

Suzaku with someone very higher up who sounds like Lulu from being the same seiyuu (saying something about returning)...

I don't know Japanese so why did Yukiya, Ayano, and Ryo all have the same geass effect as Akito? I think Sophie mentioned something about a "Brain Raid"?

Well there goes one of Ashley's men from his harem must have been the main one with the look on his face after the guy died. xD Speaking of which Ashley is all I ever wanted and more when I first saw his appearance in the PV. Can't wait to see him in action the next episode and hopefully the last one!

Judging from the episode they changed things around from the PV like CC's cameo or Ryo holding a rifle towards Akito's head wasn't in this movie.

Totally loved this movie. The good point is that there isn't too much drama, that it concentrates on the fights.

And that psychotic look on Akitos face when he was talking with his commander .... just gotta love those looks,

that guy in the end. He is - IMO - in fact, lelouch.
Why you ask me ?
The covered eye is the eye lelouch had he's geass on. He looks like lelouch and as far as I'm able to recognize the voice is the same. In that train suzaku looks at him with despise. Since the emperor is looking for C.C. he might as well have used his geass to change lelouch's memory into thinking that he's that julius - or whatever he is called - guy.

Whatever complaints I had about the first episode, they basically disappeared at the end of this one. This second episode did well to direct the series onto the overall plot and it did two things simultaneously. First, it showed us how the team came to form this peculiar bond. Second, it brought us into the intrigue and conflict going on around the characters. Not surprisingly, it seems like both Akito and Shin have their own goals in mind not yet revealed to the audience. We also find out that Akito seems to have survived the death of his entire family only because he was able to resist Shin's Geass. It looks like Akito's Geass has something related to mind synchronization, though it'll probably be explained better later on.

That masked man is certainly Lelouch. However, Lelouch is supposed to have recovered all his past memories in R2, so he should've remembered this and he obviously didn't. Either they find a way to explain this or we can consider the possibility that Sunrise has decided to retconn this part in.

On a wholly unrelated note, what the freaking random service from Leila as she puts on her combat gear...It's nice to see the way she interacts with Akito though. She's obviously developing some feelings for him but his mind is wholly preoccupied with something else. Very much looking forward to the next episode.

Because plot takes place between R1 and R2. After R1 Emperor rewrited Lelouch memories, so thats why he doesnt remember about his past etc

BD of this will have official english subtitles

I really surprised that no fansubs group do the current raw, though. Since the previous movie has the 1st fan sub released in less than a week after the webrip version available on Internet :(

Just like the first movie at the start I don't really feel it, but then it ends up just pulling me in.

Also I'm about 99% sure that Julius is Lelouch, only 99% because I know Code Geass loves to use characters who look suspiciously similar to Lelouch in spinoffs.

Damn, really amazing episode. Those fighting scenes were just enjoyable to watch. Didn't know that Akito has a big brother, though consider them as opponents.

Nice 1 hour special :D Been awhile since I watch the first episode.

Wait, what? Since this takes place around the time after S1, we have to assume that Lelouch's memory has been altered for him to participate in this war. Assuming this, after all this is over, Lelouch's memory will be wiped again from where R2 starts to be an innocent student

Therefore, Charles altered his memory more than once in order to use his tactical expertise which he was so good at doing.

Isn't there a rule where you can't use geass on the same person twice? It's probably Lelouch though and is brainwashed.

The limits of Lelouch's Geass do not apply to everyone else's Geass.

Otherwise, Rolo and Mao couldn't have multi-use Geass powers.

At this point, everything is just speculation though.

Oh Lelou- I mean Julius Kingsley, it's been far too long.

Loving how Ryo, Naruse and Kosaka are starting to warm up to them. I want to see how Suzuku and Lelouch Julius Kingsley plays are part in the next ep

Where was C.C? She was in the preview ;_;

Am I the ONLY person who noticed the ridiculously amazing sound editing this episode had? The effects of distance and environment on the battle effects was fucking stunning. The screenplay and fight scenes were also expertly done but holy hell THOSE SOUND EFFECTS.

Too bad the plot is bad fanfic tier.

I honestly didn't think it was worth the wait, but it was a decent movie. I'm not a fan of the jazz. If they had stuck with the epic Geass soundtrack from the TV series, it would be a 10/10 for me. I liked the additional stuff they are adding to the universe, but like I said, I don't like the jazz. It gives off a completely different aura with the jazz compared to the TV series, and I have not seen any good reason to change it up like that after waiting for this for 2 years, and there are more movies yetl to come out.

For those that still dont belive Julius Kingsley is Lelouch, he is even voiced by the same voice actor, plus Susaku shows hatred towards him. The only person Susaku hates is Lelouch for killing Euphy and i believe he is brainwashed yes. The only thing i dont understand is: if he is brainwashed can he be brainwashed again so that he is a normal student again?

I'm sorry to say this but... in original Code Geass series there was jazz too lol .. a LOT OF jazz in every action scene :3 so yup - they're sticking with the feel of original soundtrack :3

I liked it a lot.. and LOL can't belive that someone thought that Julius isn't Lelouch XD of course HE IS him.. they wouldn't make a character so similiar to Lulu with eyepatch in the same place and with the same voice actor :P

Dat Leila fan service. Oh wait, that's not what matters here.

So... what the flying fuck on that Akito's "curse"(Not sure what was that called again) shared to other Elevens.

Anyway, so is he really Lelouch? Even the MAL says he's here, therefore that guy is Lelouch.

Leagues better than the first movie, still would have preferred an anime series, this one year wait is a painful burden to bear.

Sweet CG animation, the action scenes were absolutely fantastic, for a full 20 minutes or so. The beginning was confusing as hell during the friendly-fire, I had no idea who was who, took me awhile to get adjusted. Luckily during the latter battles with the enemy units, it was easier to catch with the on-goings.

I figured he was the brother of Akito from the first movie's flashback events, no shock there but I still want to know what and why there is a rivalry between the Hyuga's.

Hope they explain the Geass too, either Akito used the Geass on the three Eleven secretly beforehand or this is some new Geass phenomenon.


I couldn't believe that the three Eleven's just jumped out of their cock-pits and ran away to safety, and they just got owned by the Knightmare Frames. Seems the enemy are kind to non-robot units.


I guess the strategist mind-blowing scenes will drop in the 3rd entry with Lelouch taking the pedestal. That will something to really look forward to, Lelouch commands vs Akito, boy oh boy.

Beautiful song with nice imagery, the only time you see smiles and good-times.

The short preview for 3rd movie, if that's what I think it is then it was weird, they went all Gypsy.

Overall, 8/10.

I thought it was EPIC!! Loved the Orgasmic Mecha action when those 4 went berserk!

Really BA!! Ashley got owned XD

Lol'd at Leila blushing to Akito telling her to stay behind him thinking it was to protect her just to find out it was to not let the Drones go to waste XD

Also Lelouch!!! How I missed the guy :D...Seems like this is what happened before he got his memories wiped after the S1 cliffhanger? Or like mentioned before Charles has used his experienced mind in strategies by wiping it more than once. I wonder if he'll play a role here?

Loving Akito and Yukiya a lot so far. Both are complete BAs :D

The same for Ashley. I just love that type of battle crazy characters hehe ^^

Shin seems to be quite the awesome antagonist.
