Mixed Feelings
Man am i glad that i can finally wrap this up. This time, there is nothing like a slight depression when you utterly finish a show, knowing that you have to say goodbye to a cast of characters, at least until you maybe rewatch it again. But for Code Geass, there is only happiness. I mean, yes, Lelouch really is amazing, he deserves his popularity, too bad that the surrounding series just isn't up to par though. But this is about the last part of Akito's story, so this shall be our topic. First of all, no battered Leila in a ripped skirt, the promo-pictures are lying, how rude. Sigh...let's do it.

Story: I am done with this, in the end, it was still bad. Basically the movie consists out of the final battle between the Hyuga-brothers, and all their superiors and allies. This whole fight is actually really well done, unfortunately i didn't care for the characters at all, together with all their stupid decisions. Nothing seems to make sense, or maybe i am just not smart enough to actually understand it. There will be spoilers here beware, since i will talk about the things that i didn't understand. First of all, how did Shin get his Geass? From a skull? But that's against everything we learned in the main series. What's his power anyway, the same as Lelouchs or can he only order people to die? On this note, what is Leilas Ability? Is it a Geass-canceller, cause it is also blue? The weird woman describes it as a fragment, but what can it actually do? It does so many things, that its impossible to see any consistent power. That was really well done in the main series, how lelouch always investigated the parameter and turned this mystical power into something easily understandable. The powers in these movies however just seem like really bad writing. I am actually getting slightly agitated while writing this, so i will just conclude it here. I hated it, at the end i was actually laughing at how bad the story actually is. I give it a 2, which seems inconsistent, but all the time, i expected some explanations. They never came, in hindsight i should probably lower the score of all the other movies. I won't, just a thought.

Art:That doesn't mean that the movie can't score in the other categories. The Art is still on the same quality-level, i liked it. There is some actual nudity this time. Oh my, why couldn't it be leila or ayano though. I am sorry.
The animation is nice at well, really liked those quick fights, but i mentioned that before.

Sound: The same as always, i think they changed the ending, i really can't remember.

Character: All the character arcs are concluded in this movie, i'll give it that much. Shin is weird, he basically hates the world and by killing everyone he wants to set them free from this rotten hell. Twisted and insane is what i'd call that, but definitely entertaining. Leila lost her personality somewhere along the way, somehow she felt like a plot-device in this last part. Akito gained something, i suppose, don't really care. Oh and ayano is goddamn stupid. I also don't like how they are all cast aside in the end, to not interfere with the maincanon. But that complaint probably belongs to the story.

Enjoyment: Well i kinda had fun at least, but actual enjoyment? That's going too far. i don't know anymore, just take your 6 again, you retarded movie, you.

"So this is it, our final battle." That's not actually taken from the movie. So, we did it. It took a while. I got a little teary-eyed when i finished Haruhi, but this here? Oh well, i already talked about it in the introduction. The thing is, if they ever do a third season, i'd watch it. That's my conclusion, i think that conveys my feelings for Code Geass. Lelouch is cool, without him, this would all be abysmal and nobody would care.
