I enjoyed the chess game, even though it was faulty xP

Xing Ke was pretty cool, and lol at the end with Orange-kun in the desert.

people bitching about reality in an anime that has MECHAS: get a fucking life and see the real reality
people bitching about plot (page 2): there was actually plot involved here, but it seems like you were probably too stupid to notice, and no, its not moving slowly, its just setting up.... i thought people would've realized by now... (not aimed at chess)

some comments are getting really old, and it seems like people can't understand what anime is supposed to be....

anyways, for the episode.
new prologue, i almost wtf'd
kallen and lulu at it again, but it seems like lulu is fine with it
C.C asking for tabasco....what GREAT timing
Anya wa kawaii desu
wtf, nina? :(
xing ke's past, lolicon, but warm hearted
lol at Zero
Princess Kaguya is awesome, supposedly lulu's wife, suzaku's cousing, and she seems to want suzaku as a gift....
chess game was lulz, can't believe lulu backed down... and can't believe they personalized their chess game.... i guess its fine since its an anime after all.
crazy nina was bad...
xing ke's coup d'etat was awesome, but ruined by zero... i really wonder what happens now.
and.... i guess i am the only one left to say... ORANGEEEE-KUN!

Well, I don't think you can fully judge this episode until we see where it goes from here.

As of right now, all that happened in this episode that is really worth noting is that Brittania made a counter-move to what happened last episode. Zero / Lulu responded towards the end of the episode in his own way but didn't show his cards yet.

Telling from what happened, you can only assume that for whatever reason right now, Lulu can't have the Chinese Federation and Brittania fighting each other. He also can't have the Chinese Federation and Brittania joining forces or reaching any type of peace agreement at Zero's expense.

I'm not all too impressed with R2 so far as I think the story has made very, very little sense and it has taken a massive downhill slide from the first 3-4 episodes and an even bigger step back in recent times.

Supposed to be? It's supposed to take 9 episodes to "set up" whatever plot that is still not that apparent yet? Perhaps it actually is my fault, because you know I was kind of expecting R2 to be somewhat similar to season 1, where A LOT more happened in the first 9 episodes.

I think I was wrong though. I guess R2 really is supposed to be its own mindless fanservice until the end, and even then it probably still will be.

I suppose looking for plot or depth in a mecha anime actually is a little too much to ask, as you put it, but I was able to find it in season 1. I realize R2 will probably start going somewhere after they've... uh... "set up" the actual plot after another 10 episodes or something, and I still have faith. I just think that it could be done in a better fashion, instead of making it look like they're just milking it.

Then again, it could be the fact that season 1 was introducing everything and the whole rebellion, and now season 2 is merely continuing it. I could simply be oblivious to the fact that Lelouch has now established everything and is starting to do more, but for some reason it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel like R2 is going anywhere yet.

Ah, Orenji-kun, you have been missed<3 So glad to see you back~ Idk about anyone else, but I was waiting for his return, that crazy guy XD

This episode was kind of...silly XD
It mostly had a different mood about it, which I don't really consider a bad thing; it's just, well, different. Anyway, I was satisfied with the episode. I feel like I have a better grasp on Schneizel's personality (before he just seemed really nice and a bit spacey) and his aide Kanon is gorgeous♥ (I also forgot how tall, deep-voiced, and pretty Schneizel was! =O)

Wow, Nina. Still obsessed, huh? I like the part of her that's changed though (even though I think she was unnecessarily rude to Millay).

Lots of Xingke, who is beautiful as ever<3
And I think Tianzi is adorable! What a cute little girl! Hard to believe she was arranged to be married to Odysseus XD

I gotta agree with you there. This season's pace is rather different. I mean, things have happened, changed, new characters added, but I'm waiting for a huge bombshell or something x]

How unfortunate this is. Even though, Code Geass finally tries to take on the world picture it loses face in a lot of things. So, let's summarize what happened (SPOILER ALERT):
-The "one million zeros" move to a special region of the Chinese Federation
-Support coming from different places, indirect requests to be freed from the Federation (India, for example)
-C.C's role continues to be diminished
-Marriage is announced between figurehead of China and Britania's generals (I think, I'm not too sure of his true position)
-Schinezel seems to have taken a liking of Nina and a rather annoying tone of voice
-Psychology in chess, one of the better things in the episode
-Nina's egotistic attitude surfaces crazier than ever, which she blames on Euphy
-Pinky swear comes to the rescue, Xing Ke and Tian Zi reunited through a coup d'etat
-Zero loses another potential ally by taking the figurehead hostage
-Orange returns...why do people like him anyway?
(SPOILERS SHOULD END HERE, IF THEY COME UP LATER I APOLOGIZE)
It was an interesting episode, but I thought a good deal of things could have been improved on. Firstly, on the matter of fan service...please stop it. I'm tired of the story wasting seconds on it. Secondly, a more detailed explanation should have been given on the role of the Eunuch Generals or the plight of the Chinese people should have been evident to back the need for coup d'etat. Additionally, the coup d'etat should have had more emphasis rather than being scrunched up in the last couple minutes of the episode. Finally, Zero is making some rather silly decisions. I would think that Zero would team up with Xing Ke in order to maximize his front against Britania unless he plans on using guerrilla tactics on a world scale, which would be difficult to coordinate...even Diethard couldn't manage something like that.
Overall, losing front, but leaving us wanting MOAR. Code Geass R2 still has a chance in uniting us under the flag of the Black Knights. If we had more realistic strategy involved or more character development like Episode 7 (I think, but of course not in the same way). It could still be a strong series or even revolutionize the face of the anime world. It has been done before.

Code Geass R2 is currently airing in Japan (on sundays). If you're watching raws, you can probably get it hours after it airs. If you're watching fansubs, the fastest you'll get it is probably from [gg].

Episode 9 just aired this week. Episode 10 hasn't aired yet and won't air until sunday of next week (6/15).

roflmao.

Anyways this was a good episode. I actually liked how they portrayed the relationship between Lelouch and Suzakuu in this episode. I mean, Lelouch could have been taken out, Suzakuu could have let that green haired gal Nina take him out but he didn't....I don't know why, I just think that they are actually making Suzakuu more..."human" (he can control himself).

Btw, who else here HATES that green haired girl? I think her name is Nina...i don't know I don't really care. I thought she was okay at first, but ever since they showed her breakdown in the first season...with that HIDEOUSLY drawn face...ugh I just barf every time I think of it. I was actually liking her a little in this episode, all "wow...shes kind of pretty" then she went "OMG HIDEOUS FACE BLARG!!" and i was like "Noooooo there goes my waffles!!"

Damn betch...I liked them waffles T_T.

Well Suzaku doesn't know it's Lelouch and Lelouch doesn't want Suzaku to know Zero is him. I don't think much of the relationship you implied is actually there. And Kallen was the one who ultimately stopped Nina. Suzaku let go of her the second she mentioned Euphemia.

Ah! I forgot, I got so focused on the fail chess match that I didn't remember to post the greatest moment in the episode.
Karen falls on Lelouch, romance ensues (Yay :D), C.C. interrupts, then the pizza droops (goes limp), imply much?

Ah, politics. This episode was pretty damn good too. I thought there might be some development between Kallen and Lelouch but now it seems there really is, let me reiterate, Lucky him. It was also cool to see Xingke's origins to becoming a guard since he's a character I really enjoy. For those who may still be arguing the whole chess thing, the reason why Zero "lost" in a way is that Schneizel handed him the victory and if he were to accept it then it would show that he would accept a victory that he didn't have to fight for making him appear weak. The part where Nina flipped out was actually rather sad, I don't like her at all but still I could feel for her. Zero taking the empress hostage seemed to extreme in my mind, I didn't like that. Now for the next episode, Orange-kun strikes back, this should be good.
