Episode 25 , the epic ending of Code Geass is there.



I don't know about the others but I am certainly satisfied -


If anyone will go on trolling with "omg trainwreck" and other similar comments it will only prove that people are following the masses with "hating geass is cool new thing in town" thing.

Terrible end to a terrible series.

I can now finally wash my hands with this series.

That was to be expected.

Decent show. Should have ended in the first season, though.

Mod Edit: Please stick all spoilers in a SPOILER TAG!

Code Geass R2 always confused me with its sudden turns, even when I had 1 week to think about. You didn't alway know who fought whom and why, and there was in every episode something unexpected, and this was what made me watching this.

Jeremiah Gottwald used his Geass Canceler on Anya?
Suzaku is pretended to be down
Lelouch and his prisoners - lol, are we in French Revolution or what?
Zero appears in front of Lelouch - good idea and thoughts of Lelouch allowing Suzaku to kill him as Zero, as the hope of the Black Knights
The end was very nice and not too much a conflict for whose watching
Lol@Orange-kun and Anya harvesting oranges xD

Especially this last episode makes me not regret giving this 9 points, no cliffhanger like last season and definitely a real end.

I think the best ending possible. I expected Lulu's death but the direction of the scene was great.

So basically the objectives of Nunally (or Shneizel) and Lulu's plan are the same. The difference is whether the Damocres or Lulu to be the symbol of the evil. It's so sad to see Lulu intensionally made his beloved sister hate him.
Even if Suzaku has mask on, I can see it from his unhuman action.
Too late, Kallen, Nunally to realize what he really meant.
Prime Minster Ohgi! Orange in Orange field! lol FTW!

I concluded Code Geass R2 is worth purchasing the DVD. I already placed order for vol.1 & 2.

What we can get from the wedding picture.

Ohgi x Viletta
Toudou x Chiba
Guilford x Cornellia
Xingke is gone...
Reval x Mirey is not certain.
Lloyd　x Cecile? I'm not sure...

lol just wondering, considering you gave both Geass and R2 a rating of 1 (Unwatchable), why did you waste, like, 20 hours watching? :) I think I agree with Fai's statements here.



I personally thought this was a great ending, with Lelouch creating the world that Nunally and Euphy wanted, erasing the name "Massacre Princess" and the monarchy system. I thought this episode tied up most of the lose ends pretty well, especially the Zero;Requiem.

Well, that was certainly . . . interesting. A fairly conventional ending with decent closure. I guess. No matter what happens, I think it gave me the scene I've been wanting forever. Ladies and gentlemen:


In the end, I can come to only one final conclusion about episode 25, R2, and Code Geass in general that I've gradually developed by deep and labored contemplation over the last two years of viewing:

Code Geass is a fanservice show that pretends to be more than that, but fails in every aspect. Ugly clamp character designs to appeal to fujoshi, a plot that was obviously written on the fly, heavily influenced by what happens to be popular among their fanbase, a lackluster setting with a complete lack of research, - they even failed to get the rules of chess right even though they built up the whole fucking show around chess-metaphors.
Their goal is to sell DVDs and merchandise instead of telling story - and it shows.

Also i do not care what users like fai say.

I don't think i've ever been happier that a show is over. Suzaku's "death" didn't fool me for a second either.

I was not impressed by the ending but at this point i'll freely admit that i'm so displeased with the way the show ended up I don't think anything could have satisfied me.

Also i'm sure that Lelouch isn't really dead and he'll show up in a sequel.

If it's that bad and has been from the very start why did you watch both seasons to completion?

Says the person with ZnT avatar. O_o'
Seriously, I would like to actually hear some arguments the next time someone goes on with "geass was trainwreck".

Exactly. I mentioned that in Post 6.

lelouch had to die in the end to make it good...i see the bitchin has already started...lol

You're kind of cherry picking your quote there aren't you?

If you look at my post I said:

"I'm happy it's over" and "I did not like the ending although I was so displeased by the rest of the series that I probably would not have been happy no matter what".

I did not say "Geass was a trainwreck" or "I hate Code Geass" or anything of the sort. If you really want me to detail what I disliked about the series i'll be glad to after I get some sleep. I really don't see why you feel the need to put words in my mouth just because I don't share the same opinion as you though.

YOu misunderstood me a bit.

"says the person with ZnT avatar" meant, "is it really first time?"

Because IMHO, not to sound evil or something, there are a whole lot of other shows I would be jumping around in happiness to be over :)

That said, this gives a way for G00 so I am sort of happy too.


But certainly hoping for some OVAs (like detailing Lloyd's past and how he got into feud with Laksahta)

lol It's funny how people are making remarks about how people who say this would simply be joining the masses - or from a more recent post, why they finished the show if it sucked.

Thing is, R2 sucks. That's just my opinion though. It started off promising but it eventually derailed. It's a train wreck. Much of the trajectory for the derailment was caused by random attempts to progress the plot. It also lacked many things that made the first season so enjoyable to watch. One of those things is the strategical imperatives during conflicts.

I don't think it's necessary for us to say things like "if you think it's bad, then you're just joining the new fad" or "why did you finish the whole season if you didn't like it." Seriously... isn't that reflecting your own bias? And as most of us know, such statements are only reflections of personal points of view - not necessarily the truth.

Whatever it is, to each his or her own. I personally feel disappointed, while users like Fai seems to be content. That's that. So please, no more instigations, nor the continuation, of such assertions.

Mature up guys.

No. its not "if you think its bad you are joining the masses".

its "if you think its bad, give arguments on why you think its bad" ;]

thinking its bad because you think so is good, thinking its bad because you got influenced by others is not.


And I don't see how "the style they tried to progress the plot" suddenly made the show bad, imho they used the same plot-progression ever since episode1 or R1. IMO I just can't see any change in direction or plot/character progression from previous season. I got what I expected and that is more than I expected before seeing the first episode of R1.

Looks like I did misunderstand you. It's almost 6AM though so I'm sure you can understand why. I'll freely admit that ZnT3 was lacking in certain respects and I was pretty happy when it ended too (Although i'll probably still watch the next season which seems inevitable).

I'll also admit that 00 starting back up is a big part of the reason why i'm happy R2 is over. I think they set things up pretty well last season and that the second half is really going to be something special.

I wouldn't mind seeing OVAs either, particularly involving Lloyd as he never failed to amuse me.

So you don't see the whole Anya/Marianne thing random?
Nor the whole Sword of whatever place random?

etc

If someone hated the first season enough to give it a 1, I think asking why they even watched the second season is a fair question in a discussion thread.

Obviously I wasn't too pleased with the second season, and I had some issues with the first although I didn't think it was bad.

Regardless consider the question dropped.
