Code Geass

On August 10th, 2010, a.t.b., the Holy Britannia Empire (神聖ブリタニア帝国, Shinsei Buritania Teikoku?) invaded Japan and conquered the country. Japan lost its freedom and rights and was renamed to Area 11, under the control of the Britannia Empire. The Japanese people are called Elevens instead and forced to survive in ghettos, while Britannians live in first world settlements.

A young boy named Lelouch, witnessing the destruction around him, swears to destroy the Britannia Empire, and seven years later, he finally obtains the power to face them and take his revenge.

This anime keeps getting aweosme as the episodes pass. Lelouch is teh shit, nough said about him. I highly reccomend this one if you're fans of series like Full Metal panic in military terms.

PIZZA HUT SUPPORTS THE REBELLION!!!!

It's kinda like Death Note meets Gundam Seed, but something much more awesome than that. I was thinking about making a thread, but damn you beat me to it :P

Even though it is kinda ridiculous with the Brittania = U.S. and prevelent Pizza Hut adverts in episodes, it gives the show some kinda quirky charm. Like a crazy uncle that kicked ass back in the war, but makes colorful hats for sheep now.

Japan.

It's Sunrise with character designs from CLAMP. Unless you meant something else…

Malintex_Terek

Of course I did. I was implying,

! This is one of the best gosh darn shows I have ever seen.

…and it's good evidence for supporting the argument that killing YouTube stifles an anime's popularity. I mean, look at this board; NO ONE is discussing CG, but it's far superior to Death Note and as a lot of 'real' action, too.

More evidence people here only watch mainstream shounen and never give others a chance. Also, after watching more, Code Geass is Death Note v2 but with actual action and shit =O

I agree on the best show statement.

And i don't agree on the second thing. Just because we don't talk about it here doesn't mean we're no actively disscusing it somewhere else. This board has never had big discussion about anything but the famous Jump trio and it won't change. I myslef feel no need to discuss things that i've debated to death somehwere else.

Aye, I've made that argument in the past, but not everyone is going to actively engage in debate over a show on this board; typically, outside of Naruto and Bleach topic updates are just for new chapters and brief discussion. Even with the most obscure titles, some people chime in and say whether they like it or not.

In the case of Geass, it's been out since October yet the first topic dedicated to it appeared in December and it has barely any recognition; just look at the view count.

We don't necessarily have to speculate/talk to death a show on AP, but acknowledgement is at least a partial indication of people watching the series.

Yoska

So… from all of the places they decided to invade Japan? Okey.

It sounds nice - kinda like A spirit of the Sun I guess - but reading words Full Metal Panic, Gundam Seed and CLAMP is very discouraging. I will check it out anyway though.

@Yoska:

Britannia's empire expanded Westward; they've got control over both the North and South American continents, so Japan was presumably their next target.

1. Clamp just did designs.
2. There's only a couple stock character borrowings from GSD.
3. I know nothing of FMP.

Majek

Actually the whole world history is different.

Holy Britannia Empire (神聖ブリタニア帝国, Shinsei Buritania Teikoku)

An international superpower that possesses about one-third of the entire world. It remains in expansion, with the recent invasion and colonization of Area 18. Britannia invades Japan to obtain a newly discovered energy source, the sakuradite. The Britannia Empire appears to be based from an alternative universe in which the monarchy remains absolute, suppressing the American colonies' rebellion in the 1700s and thereby conquering the American continents. It is also speculated from information seen in episode seven that the fictional birth of Henry IX brings about the reason that North America is controlled by Britannia.

Japan/Area 11

After the Britannia Empire invades and conquers the country to seize control of a new power source named the Sakuradite, in one month's time, Japan's name is soon changed to Area 11 and its people are renamed to Elevens. The number denotes the numerical order by which Britannia has occupied new territories.

Captain Kaze

ALL HAIL BRITANNIA! ALL HAIL BRITANNIA! I love this series so far! I've watched up to episode 7, watching more in a few minutes. I'm glad I picked this up to watch. I have a feeling it's going to be another Utawarerumono for me. (Great series I just randomly happened to try out.) Definitely buying the DVDs if/when it gets licensed.

Inferno

what groups sub this?

The_green_samurai_ranger

The overall topic story sounds interesting, even though I'm not a super big mecha only fighting fan.

So does the main hero actually fight himself, or does he call upon the mecha every battle?

Malintex_Terek

@Inferno:

gg.

@The_green_samurai_ranger:

He's not very combat oriented, though he does pilot one of the mechs and goes into battle; it doens't help that the mechs available for the Elevens are not all that powerful. However, in order to use his "voodoo magic hypnosis" better known as Geass, he's got to get within physical proximity of other people, so he often has to do daring unprotected stuff.

Yoska

Yah, I figured I it would need to have quite different settings from real world to make sense.

Ruwyn

Finally this thread gets some love. I was shocked that it had been so quiet for so long since as Terek said, this show kicks ass. It's definitely the gem of the Fall '06 season.

I'm so happy that…

! C.C. didn't give Suzaku a Geass as well and instead gave him a gentle mindfuck. Seems as though they're going to delve more into C.C.'s backstory and whatnot which is great.

Also, Pizza Hut advertising is ridiculously awesome in the most ridiculous way possible.

I saw this on a lot of Japanese boards yesterday:

Pizza Hut's (Japanese) website even has a GEASS page. You can even get a GEASS wallpaper with a Pizza Hut logo!

I love the series but I can't stand lulu or the fact that again everyone is fawning over the brooding dark hero with the fucked up ideals and the using any tactic nessisary to win…..ARGH

Think of him like Raito from Death Note, except Lulu's possibly two times twisted and that's why we love him XD

Majek

Lulu is not as twisted as Light, nowhere near him.

Taleran

what are you talking about?

exact same principle just different power / different scope of use, if the end of 12 wasn't enough to show that then meh

currently my favourite character is the ecsentric scientist.

Advent

Lelouch is alot more similar to Griffith rather than Light.

Light is the puppetmaster while Lulu still canres a little for his people, Ligh in his shoes would treat them just as pawns and he would've killed anyone standing in his way , probably suzaku too.

Hah, so I wasn't the only one who noticed. Even their outfits bear simmilarities.

…

On another note, does anyone know if that JLF general was killed when Lelouch blew up his ship? Was he onboard or what?

OYu mean the on who always asks where Toudo is? Yers he was on baord that ship with the rest of the JLF. Lulu decided that he must spill some more "innocents" blood than not let it go to waste, … and that went real swell

By the way…

! Is it just me or did they blow their load way too quick with the whole OHNOES! Zero killed Shirley's dad bit in episode 13? Poor writing

Majek

No.

! they're setting things up for her death and they're setting the standard development for Suzaku,forcing him to realise he's hypocrite albeit they do that slowly :/

igalsfy

@Buuhan1:

well, pretending to be into anime and only be able to find episodes on youtube is just plainly stupid. especially for all the current series.

not knowing baka-updates is a sin.

Buuhan1

Wtf are you talking about? Pretending to be into anime? WTH?! Also, I stopped waching anime on youtube over half a year ago cause I have video lag, I can only download and watch on VLC to even get no lag.

I know of baka-updates, but I don't mess with them. I could have very fucking easily went to a torrent site and found the episodes with the subbers name on it. Now I know better than to actually ask people before hand cause they'll just be pricks about it.

! I know that Shirley is going to die, but it seems really stupid to me to just drag her out to a battlefield with her going "Golly, is Lulu a Black Knight?" due to Viletta. There were better ways to do this.

I'm not into fanfiction or writing of that sort. Anything that would have Shirley's appearance make more sense than "she goes to where everyone else is" which is simply for convenience and not exactly stellar writing.

I see two possible ways she could have gotten there:
(filling in the plot hole if you will)

! First: She follows Lulu to the battle, which seems to be implied in the episode when she apologizes for first doubting him and then doing something. Viletta then trails after Shirley, even though she would know the battle is taking place. Lulu would lose massive points if this was the case. Not fitting for the head of a terrorist organization.
! Second: Viletta takes her there since she would have knowledge where the battle would be taking place and then use Shirley. This would prove that Shirley's pretty dumb and likely deserves to be offed.

I thought they could've slow burned the Shirley situation a little longer, and show more progress with the Lulu/Suzaku bit instead of same "That damn white robot" and "WAH! STOP KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE I'M NOT DOING THE SAME EXACT THING RIGHT NOW BUT FOR EVEN WORSE PEOPLE!"

Man, I hate hypocrites.

! Filling plot hole? You're writting things that actually happened!
! She went to see him. Saw him leave and followed him. Villeta followed her. Neither knew there was going to be a battle. They just went where Lulu did.
! and this is only the second time Suzaku killed anybody. And the first time he killed people (well there's even the possibilty they weren't even killed by the explosion of that big ass gun in ep 8 or wheereever that was) and this time they were already dead men waling anyway so practically he hasn't murdered anyone unlike Lulu who is stupid yes because he never calculates an option that Lancelot will be there.

Advent

I must wonder, why the hell did they even bother tying up her legs?

Also, I watched episode 15 today, wins for Mao and tits.

Ruwyn

Hooray for Mao! [/sarcasim]

! Too bad he isn't dead cause I'm already sick of him.

Majek

LOL you haven't even seen the ep 16 yet you post the screen from it and not in spoiler tags. Oh boy.

As for Mao

! Since the creatd him for one specila purpost it was obvious he won't die until he acomplishes what he was meant to do
! Reveal to Lulu that Suzaku killed his own father and …
And one can only pity Mao because he's the result of CC being a bitch. So she deserves to die as much as she deserves to have her revenge.

I was just hearing this from someone~Seems Code Geass is so loved that when Sunrise wanted the eps down in Youtube, they had a "system" where they mix Code Geass into backwards making it "Edoc Ssaeg" and every OP, ED, AMV, and ep are named that way XD So they love it enough to not give up and make its name backwards for the sake of hiding it XD Oh boy..

Taleran

I want Suzaku to win after the bit with the Japan Liberation Front in the harbor, but I don't want Britannia to win.

but I don't see either happening…oh well

OMFG…This is what Code Geass would look like if it were some Harem/Romance anime~
