I am really enjoying code geass R2 :)
Felt inspired to make a blog to actually to put my thoughts into words while watching the second season, It's so good as of writing I've watched up to:
!ep.8 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2!
What I like about the series thus far: Code Geass made me remember how much I love political dramas, it's so much fun to watch from an inside perspective. It's so much fun to watch characters scheme and trick each other. I remember shows like the Apothecary Diaries and Moriarty the Patriot where cunning characters reveal their plans and unveil mysteries much like magic tricks.
But most, I also love the nuance of it all. I love being unable to choose a "morally just" side, it's one of the reasons I love shows like Attack on Titan, Dorohedoro, and of course Code Geass. It's really engaging to me when two characters I like, or even love go up against each other. whether it be through their differing philosophies or personal grudges and promises, It is so much fun, It can hurt my heart so much, but that's what makes it worth watching I feel.
Thoughts Starting The 2nd Season: I felt so nervous going into this season after the MASSIVE cliffhanger at the end of season one, I have to say IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I loved the way they executed it so much! It was shock after shock, though some of them I could kind of predict with the art spreads shown during the end credits, like how the emperor also had a geass since he was shown with V.V. but it also led me to the wild theory that Rolo was somehow a clone of Nunnally. Or! this was another wild one, That somehow, after the stand off in the cave ruin on the island between Suzaku and Lelouche, Lelouche get's sent to another dimension where he has a brother and that the military was actually watching over him to make sure he doesn't turn into Zero again. lol.
NEW CHARACTERS !!: I surprisingly really like most of the new characters added to the new season so far. Rolo is super interesting as lelouche’s substitute sibling, I think their dynamic of one sided affection is super intriguing, so scared he might hurt nunnally out of jealousy in the future. The possibilities of conflict are endless oh my gosh, I think his attachment to lelouche with him being the only family he has is so sad and I can’t help but like him, he’s a tragic kid that’s never really known love, and that’s definitely what’s going to get him really really hurt. I also really like the two knights of the round that get introduced with suzaku’s re-introduction. Gino is such a likeable character, I can’t help but love the easygoing, friendly charming hunk. So far he is so sweet, I like watching him be wayyyy too overfamiliar with Suzaku, I think their dynamic is fun to watch. I also think Anya is interesting, she’s mysterious in a way where you feel like a parent that’s always curious on what the hell she could possibly be doing on that damn phone, so far she’s great. Scared that one of them will turn out as a super fascist, and I’m scared that it might be Gino, but fuck it we ball, just a theory.
My Thoughts As of Now: I am so interested in the new conflict of Nunnally being the new Viceroy while unaware of Zero’s identity and now being skeptical on the story she was told from Suzaku. I also really like the decision to have Nunnally make her own decisions and actually make an impact. I think the scene where lelouche crashes out over being useless to his sister now that she’s a viceroy and even a hindrance to his sister’s dream even though everything he has done has been for her, so fucking good. I really liked especially when Collin reminds lelouche that Zero is fighting for much more and has other people that he is responsible for, people that need him, a very good scene. I also really like the plan to dress everyone as zero so they all get exiled. I really like how lelouche was able to make that loophole, one that doesn’t hurt Nunnally or the trust he has built with his group, it felt really good to see it go well.
That’s all, so excited to watch more of it
