So Code Geass premiered on Adult Swim this weekend. I, like many fans, had some doubts about how the dub might turn out. Those doubts were warranted.

Looks like this will be the last high tension episode before we return to a more peaceful interlude. As expected, Lelouch manages to turn the entire situation around to his advantage without breaking too many drops of sweat. I mean, you didn’t really think he was going to die, right? That is not to say that [...]

The Harem of Justice strikes again! And I’m sure I wasn’t the only person to go ‘For the Chivalry of the Mermaids of Seto!’ when the sakura petals swirled past. LOL Given how Lelouch is an expert at seducing and trapping people based on their mo

Lelouch is a complete dick and no one knows about it but him. It is getting hard to tell if Lelouch has any decency at all, or if he is just looking for another game to play. His manipulation of Rolo sure was classy. Lelouch also politely informs us that his [...]

Quiver in fear, Rolo, for you have been destroyed by the brilliant intellect that is Lelouch Lamperouge. Feel honored, if your inferior intellect is capable of feeling honor. So, yeah, this was pretty much the best episode of Code Geass that I can remember. Setup for R2 seems to be over now, and now things start [...]

So deliciously malicious! xD Flashback shows that Rollo has been assassinating people for as long as he can remember. He's a tool of the Britannian Empire, but the reason isn't revealed. Back in the present, Lelouch discovers the main function of Rollo's Geass - it freezes all organics caught in its radius. Having [...]

Episode 4 has struck, and it focuses on Roro, whose name I have spelled differently every time I use it. I guess I’ll just use this spelling from now on, because while I’d prefer to call him “lol”, I can see how that would get confusing. The episode title was Counterattack at the Gallows, which [...]

Great episode. Made up for the shitty Shirley filled episode of last week. This entire episode I could just feel the tension oozing from Lelouch’s body. If this was anything other than fiction the situations Lelouch got wouldn’t have worked out so well. And yet, I was still on the edge of my seat wondering [...]

I love these shots, a smiling Lelouch and maniacal laughter always provides entertainment. Well as promised there was definitely a showdown between Guilford and Zero in this episode, as we resolve the execution standoff. However, there were also some heavy developments regarding Rollo mixed in with some minor mecha action and devious Lelouch. [...]

Summary: Lelouch rape faces this episode with his deception and uses psychological mind games on LOLo to get him out of the sticky situation he found himself in from the end of episode 3. However, Lolo still promised on killing him. Throughout the episode, Lelouch uses every resource he could find to get information about Lolo [...]

Summary: With Rolo behind him and ready to pull the trigger, Lelouch began to explain Rolo’s real ability. His geass doesn’t give him the ability to actually stop time but it does allow him to temporarily disable his victim’s senses, hence their movement. Although surprised, Rolo didn’t care because he was planning to kill Lelouch [...]

Well, now we know that Rollo's power doesn't actually freeze time but it does stop the physical movement time of a person that is enveloped within his geass sphere. To make it easier, I'll just say that his power basically stops a person from moving but not anything else in the world. Anyway, what impressed me is the turn of event that takes place in this story. I kind of suspect that Lelouch needs some kind of miracle in order to win the duel with Guilford. True enough, he manages to create one by diverting Rollo's loyalty to him. With Rollo as his ally, Lelouch can be a lot more powerful than he is at the moment. I do think this will blow up in Lelouch's face one day but Sunrise thrives on that kind of drama so I'll just sit and watch the train wreck from here on forward. While this is fun and all, I am still dying for the story to move on a lot quicker than it is now. As a side note, next week should be particularly juicy because everyone's favorite character, Suzaku, is back to the school. I can't wait to see the amount of venom unleashed on him next week.

A week late… so no one will even want to read this so… no summary or thoughts. BUT! I loled at this: Shirley Fennette = Hatsune Miku Hahaha. Not really, but idk, that’s what it reminded me of when I saw it. Yea, her hair isn’t in twin tails… but at that angle it kinda looks like [...]

Ahhh, I haven’t rewatched episode 1 in a long time. It was refreshing, especially with the lovely dub. Bandai ALMOST gets full cookies, but the voices had a few weak spots and weird lines. Good sushi: On adultswim.com, the opening theme was kept intact (though was it just me, or did the animation get changed a [...]

Who needs the Code Geass dub trailer when you’ve got the entire first episode online? And of course, it’s also airing tonight on adult swim at 1:30am. Just, y’know, in case you forgot.

I don’t know if anyone knows but i hate, HATE WITH A PASSION, Johnny Yong Bosh. He sounds the same in every damn thing he does and this dub of Code Geass is just the same as all his other roles. I just saw the first episode of Code Geass online at AdultSwim.com and i [...]

You may recall that in the first episode of the first season of Code Geass, one of the resistance fighters, having been wounded, reaches out towards a button next to a picture of his family, mutters 'Nippon banzai!' and blows up the truck he's driving. Now I am not Japanese, and in fact I have my doubts about the act of suicide, but I nevertheless found this moment rather stirring. The scene as a whole, however, is also rather disturbing - and not, I hasten to add, because of any patriotic fervour or jingoism, but for a rather subtler reason. This, remember, is the context: the resistance have got their hands on a container of what they think is a gas weapon from the Britannian military, and the lorry carrying it it is trying to escape through Tokyo's old subway system.

There are some mysteries in this magical world that are so unsolvable, even Conan would be baffled. Like why Hirano Aya is popular, or why otaku loves large pillows. But the biggest mystery might be Code Geass R2’s TV ratings. Abysmally low would be an understatement. Is it because people are downloading it? Or because the [...]

This picture sums up the first two words. Rolo comprises the third. It actually seems to me that in this episode, Sunrise was baiting the fangirls with tempting images of brotherly love between Lelouch and Rolo. “Aww, look,” the shots seem to say, “aren’t they just the cutest couple? Please go and create hordes of yaoi [...]
