As promised, after Gundam 00 ended, Code Geass (hangyaku no lelouch) R2 has started. And it is good. Which is somewhat relieving since the crop of new shows this season is especially slim and this just might be the only new show I watch for a while. I have plenty of things to catch up on in all facets of my life though so that’s not such a bad thing. I am very tempted to re-watch the first season and so on but we shall see what life holds.

So as to some speculation which might spoil… probably the first series since there wasn’t that much that actually happened in the first episode, other than a lot of people getting killed anyway.

All through the fall and winter I wondered to myself just what was going to happen after the climactic end of the first season of “CG” while utterly ignoring all the geass stuff that came out in the mean time. Well it turns out that nothing happened. Apparently almost all the rebels got captured or killed and the order of the black knights was effectively defeated on the verge of things because of Lelouch’s sentimentality. Wouldn’t that look better with an e? no? Well apparently everyone has somehow had their memory wiped of different events and otherones implanted and Lelouch was being left to his devices at school in order to be bate for C.C. who finally shows up one day. And in typical dramatic C2 fashion gets shot through the heart then kisses Lelouch reawaking his power which he uses to command those who were observing him to kill themselves as Karen and some other guy I don’t recognize bow in their KnightMares. Hmmmmmm Suzaku shows up in front of the emperor and says that he’ll take care of Lelouch. I really hate that fucker.

My hatred for Suzaku is well documented and I continue to hold the viewpoint that he ruins the show. Nunnaly doesn’t help anything either but it’s really that piece of shit that spoils things. Now I would hope that Zero would just kill Suzaku right away but you know that won’t happen. If Suzaku is to die at all it will not be until the approximate end, and in fact it’s a lot more likely that Lelouch will be the one who dies. Which is what happened with, X/1999 spoilers, Kamui and Fuuma in the X tv series (in the movie Kamui did kill Fuuma though and the manga will probably never end because japanese people are pathetic, so). Which didn’t make me happy since I hated Fuuma too. hmm… yeah you remember things like that.

Anyway it will be interesting to see how the show turns out. I will try to refrain from frequent commenting until the show ends. For all I know they might have used up all the bang in the first episode. I doubt that at least. Well count on lots of random brutality in this series.
