If I don't see any code geass cosplayers at the revolution themed dashcon I'm gonna be ... well, unsurprised. Because it's a largely forgotten show from 2006. But still slightly sad ... because the revolution themed dashcon is an excellent habitat for code geass cosplayers
Besides being My Childhood Cringe and the reason i made my first tumblr account in 2011, code geass is still one of the craziest, most genre confused pieces of media i’ve ever seen.
It's about the horrors of colonialism and war and genocide. It's a high school drama. It's a sexy mecha show. there’s titties everywhere the 2006 fan service is absolutely tasteless and egregious. But don't get distracted, this is a show about rebels fighting to overthrow an evil genocidal empire except for when it's about the world’s largest pizza, yes, the world's largest pizza. Sponsored by Pizza Hut. This Show Is Sponsored By Pizza Hut. Major characters will die in devastating ways that you will remember forever. Buy Pizza Hut. The fandom is mostly yaoi of the two male leads but they’re not canonically queer. There are some canonically queer side characters! but watch out! you’ll wish there weren’t! It takes place in the futuristic year of 2017, which is actually in the 1960s if you convert the shows alternate universe calendar into our own.
If you were to ask me whether this show is good, bad, or so bad that it’s good, i would have to tell you honesty that it’s good. The pizza hut titties out horrors of colonialism show is good.
📖 I love Code Geass. It's a masterpiece. It features some of the most singularly stupid moments I have ever seen on screen.
There are levels of toxic yaoi and mecha design that mortals were not meant to experience on this side of eternity. Sometimes the cast has to wear Playboy Bunny outfits for incredibly important plot reasons. There is an extended meditation on whether the inherent corruption of wielding the systems built by your oppressors means the most moral choice for the successful revolutionary is suicide or if the curse to live with the sins of the past must be borne by someone to prevent their reoccurrence. It is a canon event that one of the experimental mecha is critical to creating the world's largest pizza.
There will never be another show like it. Experience at your peril.
