Oh god the cheese… >.>… Oh wow this episode probably made me lose a significant amount of brain cells due to the sheer cheese. First, Lancelot gets upgraded to Alie Lancelot, fine. Then there was that “WTF” scene of Nina “Table-humper” Einstein (wow that so soils the name) finally meeting Euphie, her.. “goddess”. I’m surprised there [...]

The contestants are first blasted off by a huge ass flying ship (TEH AVALON), flew all the way to a mysterious island (without a single scratch) and then found themselves facing a very bored looking Jeff Probst, who forced them to split into 2 tribes- Tribe Zero vs Tribe Emo. Armed with their looks, intelligence and [...]

I wish I can pretend that the last 5 or so minute of this episode never happened because then this would have been a good episode. Unfortunately Sunrise has the subtlety of a sledgehammer when it comes to plot and character development so we ended up with that last 5 minutes, which throws all of Lelouch's character development out of the window. If the writers want this series to be Death Note's clone, then I think they've effectively set the tone for this with that last 5 minutes. Now that this happens, I'm not sure which character to root for anymore. I do like Euphemia's plan but unfortunately she has little to no idea of what she has unleashed with her announcement. Why would anyone want to root for a leader who has no idea of the consequence of her action? Or maybe I can just watch and stop caring about the characters.

As the previous episode of Code Geass was another recap episode, which was based from Suzuka’s point of view, this episode of Code Geass pits Lelouch and Suzuka against each other yet again. I thought that this episode started off in interesting fashion, with the order of the black knight and the Japanese Liberation Front [...]

Ah~~~~! Suzaku sees Kallen naked!!! Kallen is taking a bath near a waterfall until Suzaku shows up. They didn’t even embarrassed by the fact that one of them is naked. I thought Kallen will scream or maybe cover up her body, but I never expected her to charge towards Suzaku and tries [...]

Can you feel the cheese?! Yes! I can feel it! The proverbial train is starting to speed up! Yeah Sunrise, I can already feel the impending train wreck. So predictable, really so predictable. First floating battleships, now flying Knightmares. Next what? Suzaku and Lulu team up or something? Sigh, I guess the problem would be that they [...]

So I was checking out the nifty footer popularity cloud thing that I wrote for Anime Nano, and noticed that lately, Code Geass is totally kicking butt! It even has more entries (in the past two weeks) than Kanon (36 (make that 37 once Anime Nano picks up this post) to 32)! To be honest, I [...]

Rating: 8.3/10 Impressions: Well that was a disappointing episode, mainly because the ‘confession’ Euphemmia made to Suzaku made me look around the room to make sure no one was watching me watch such an embarrassing and badly scripted love situation. It was a total misfit, and surely made a lot of people go WTF; inserting such a [...]

SUNRISE and their mecha plot trends... They go together like ham and onions. Every SUNRISE mecha show will eventually end up one way, and we all know Lulu and Suzaku will [end up in bed]: Code Geass 20.

Come to think of it, Lelouch is really amazing starting from a normal student to a great leader of the most influential rebellion group in Area 11/Japan. When Lelouch first formed the Order of the Black Knight, they were just a small guerrilla type team with small numbers of member but they [...]

Rating: 9.4/10 Impressions: Now this is what I call entertainment. Forgetting the rest of the show, the cliff-hanger at the end is executed extremely well, and now I’m dying to see the next episode. The last few minutes had so much action that when it suddenly turns black, anticipation skyrockets when you realise it’s the end of [...]

I couldn't pass this video up and just to had to share it everyone. This is very well made and very funny for everyone who knows what this show is REALLY about: It's got everything: the first names of the girls scrolled under their action shots. The over synthesized J-pop soundtrack with an impossibly squeeky singer pushed through loads of Vocoder. Cutesy logo. These guys got the formula down cold! HT to Random Musings, who AFAIK spotted it first. :)

You know, I think Euphemia stumbled upon the best way to confess to someone your love that you didn’t even know about five minutes earlier: in the heat of battle. Cause, to be honest, who doesn’t think about love in battle? What else are you supposed to do? Focus on not dying? Please, that’s too [...]

Skinship is awesome, really. OH. MY. GOD. Seriously. Sunrise is starting to perfect the art of the visual Dorama-CD. That reminds that there’s quite a few Mai-Hime Dorama CD tracks I’d like them to give proper treatment to….. but enough of that! 4 minutes of “skinship” between Millay, Nina, Kallen and Shirley. This really makes me feel [...]

I know I just posted in my progress report that Code Geass might possibly be THE mecha show for 2007. I actually forgot the possible implications of a season 2, and jvaldez has pointed this out in his post Code Geass - So, about this second season thing dot dot dot. So Code [...]

Yeah, I’ve been a little preoccupied over the last two weeks, which isn’t unusual. The profs wanted to get in the midterms before spring break. Seriously, they have no consideration for my anime watching schedule. How am I supposed to watch anime and study for tests at the same time? I can’t read a book and subtitles at the same time. Back to my topic, I’ve been out of the anime blog-o-blob

LOL GUNDAM Man… gg sure likes to take their time. 19 better come quick. God damned cliffhangers. And so, finally, Geass moves to the Gundam(n) part with the appearance of a floating battleship, not unlike those used back in SEED and many other space anime. Sigh… let’s hope it doesn’t train wreck itself just like Destiny did. One [...]

This is probably one of the most cheese-tastic episode ever and it doesn't have anything to do with the amount of product advertising that Pizza Hut placed in the series. I just don't think Zero and Suzaku are at a point where they can work together yet and here they are doing exactly this. Plus that background music that they use during the collaboration scene is really bad. Add to this a confession scene that comes out of nowhere. I realise that this series has just received a second season but this feels needlessly filler-ish to me. I also wonder where does Sawasaki's group comes from since the last time around we were informed that the Japanese force were depleted. Now all of a sudden there are remaining forces trying to occupy the Fukuoka base.

It’s on now! Thank god for Your-Mom. Now I can watch episodes 18 and 19 of Code Geass and understand them. Lot of interesting things to talk about. First off are all the little things in 18. We found out that the Emperor is plenty aware that Lelouch is alive and is Zero. Though, being the [...]

Well, moetron was on a hot streak today with bringing the anime news to the English speaking world. Since pKjd apparently has absolutely nothing to do all day (lucky bastard), I get to play catch up. So let's do it First up, there's a new Neon Genesis Evangelion anime in the works! YES! YOU HEARD [...]
