- To be honest, I′m not fond of Mecha. But Code Geass is the one and only anime which I was fond of watching that is a Mecha-themed anime; why ? Because it wasn′t just all about robots. It has some Light Drama mix into it, and a little Harem, though not in a romantic way.
The continuation has a lot of twists, and will make you go - "What happened last time ?". You never expect the Second Season to have a lot of puzzle and twists that needs to be logically solved. Like the one year time-skip, when they thought that Zero died and Lelouch lost his memories after he was brought to Charles, his father, by Suzaku - his friend and One of the Knight of Rounds.
The creators of Code Geass really made quite a shocking continuation, I daresay. They thought of what should be the next happenings thoroughly and carefully; so that they won′t make any disappointment in the ending; the fans were the ones who were disappointed - including me. I never thought of those happenings to occur while I was still in the midst of watching it non-stop. If you are going to watch Code Geass R2, be prepared by the twists and puzzles along the way.
- The Art/Animation is one the elements which I look upon at before I watch anime. I really liked the art, it was really amazing. You can really feel the deep emotion made by the characters, based on their expressions. Though sometimes, Lelouch′s face is creeping me out when he′s like going crazy for some reason.
The settings, expressions are well-drawn. Especially the Knightmares, which is normally very hard to draw. The effects easily blend with the fight scenes. All in all, the art is Great!
- I am disappointed in the theme songs, especially in the Ending Songs from the first season to the sequel. But one of the Opening songs, entitled as "World End" is really pleasant to listen to, when I listen to it, I remember Code Geass [especially the last episode] and I feel like crying. I require you, when watching Code Geass, skip the Opening and Ending songs; except for World End. The Ending songs are not much which is related to the Anime, what I mean is the animations in the Ending songs.
They are far from what I expect to change, since I hated all the Ending songs of Code Geass R1 and R2.
But the Background musics are a little different kind of feeling from the Ending songs, you can feel the deep thought in a sad scene from the background song that is playing, that′s what will make you blend in in the scene, make you cry and feel sad in what′s happening.
- The characters are great. Though some of them is nothing but an annoyance. They are the ones who makes a scene really deep into the occurance or happenings; they are one of the most important elements of an anime. They reveal a deep emotion and expression in each and different kind of happenings; like Lelouch, he is one of the most characters who are greatly emotional.
Sometimes the characters′ deep emotions can easily change into happiness, depending on the situation they′re in to.
- All in all. I really enjoyed Code Geass, as much as I am enjoying Gintama; though I am a bit sad and disappointed in the ending. I didn′t expect {spoiler} Lelouch to die.
I am easily drawn into the anime, from the very first happening, ′till the end. I wish they would make an Omake, or an Alternate Version of Code Geass R2. Code Geass is an anime which you will be hooked, and will watch it ′till the end.
Even if it consumes your lunch time, dinner time, and most likely, your sleeping time.
Code Geass is rather different and unique in it′s own way. All the strong points and scenes only happened in the climax. To those people who thinks that Code Geass is a crap, sh*t, and whatever. I think you guys don′t have a bit of a sense of humor, or by far, you don′t understand or maybe, you didn′t want to understand the wholer story.
Feedback and critiques are greatly appreciated!
