Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

[Apraxhren]

This seems to be a much anticipated show this season.

Summary:
Japan has been invaded and conquered by the Britannic Empire. Japan are now known as "Area 11" and it's citizens known as "elevens." The Britannic Empire takes away Japan's autonomous power and imposes it's rule. The Britannic Empire enforces it's rule through the use of 'Nightmares'. The Empire's rule has never faltered, but cracks have begun to show...[Source: ANN]

Looks quite interesting, but I have no idea what happened at the end of the episode, and who was the girl, and what was the contract. Well, perhaps something will be explained later.

But those Britons sure are evil people...

Edit: Btw, Kikuko Inoue has a role in this series. In the first ep it wasn't that big or a significant looking role, but who knows how it will develop. Nevertheless, she's probably the one voice actress you can't help but recognize...

Just watched the first episode, I enjoyed it... I'm pretty sure that the main character will suffer form multiple personalities, which makes that last scene great. The first episode was not great, but it was good enough for me. At least I think the action will be good enough to keep me interested in the series. The episode reminded me of Innocent Venus a bit.

Finally, been waiting for this all week!

I'm really liking this series, the main character is interesting enough. I thought the action was better in the first episode, but it was still OK on this episode. As the first episode, the final moments of this episode were great too.

[masamuneehs]

wow. i just watched the first episode and. w-o-w. just fucking awesome. I like shows that don't put on too many airs and deal with guns and war like they mean something. The character designs aren't quite what I like, but for CLAMP I suppose I couldn't expect much different. And the animation certainly seems 1st class too.

I knew I'd like this show when the Athrun-type character (main character's friend in the military) got shot down cold. And when the kid told the guys to kill themselves, and they did it, man, it just cemented the deal.

now i have to catch up with the rest of yall. =0

[RyougaZell]

Do what I did masa.
I watched 8 eps in a row

[masamuneehs]

something occured to me when I rewatched episode 1 now with my sis (she doesn't like it, but well, her taste has always been similar to suckage...)

They call it Britannia, but it's got to be the USA, right? I mean, the word Britannia was even superimposed over a map of the US! and then I remembered seeing concrete evidence that "Britannia" is actually just the US in disguise!



yes, Pizza Hut is the bastards who will oppress mankind in the future! we must destroy them now or there will be no hope!

We discussed this with some of the brightest minds in Gotwoot IRC (sorry if this has been discussed, i'm not reading through the whole thread to spoil the upcoming 11 episodes):

[04:57:02] <Kirai> Fucking Japan...
[04:57:12] * Kirai is watching Suicide Circle
[04:57:17] <masamuneehs> no kirai, fuck Britannia
[04:57:23] * masamuneehs is watching Code Geass
[04:58:07] <%DS> i heard something like, code geass is basically gundam seed with a higher body count
[04:58:08] <%DS> or something
[04:58:10] <%DS> ?
[04:58:14] <Kirai> it is awesome?
[04:58:20] <masamuneehs> so, can someone explain to me why it's called "britannia", but every map shows it's actually the USA?
[04:58:42] <masamuneehs> there's even a Pizza Hut billboard in the first episode, it's so obviously america
[04:59:06] <Kirai> YEah, because we don't have Pizza Hut in England :P
[04:59:15] <%DS> maybe history took a different turn
[04:59:17] <masamuneehs> and, from the one episode i've seen, yes, it's awesome. and it is a mecha with bish pilots and a "steal the enemy secret weapon" in the first episode
[04:59:33] <%DS> maybe uk colonised the us mainland
[04:59:48] <Kirai> It's probably some moon-fudge, based on America having been a part of the British Empire at one point...
[05:00:10] <masamuneehs> Kirai are you and the British taking responsibility for Pizza Hut? Cuz lord knows i don't need another reason to dislike the british
[05:00:11] * Ciber Quit (Broken pipe)
[05:00:43] <Kirai> I dunno who invented Pizza Hut, but we have them here... Overpriced shit...
[05:01:05] <Kirai> Based in Dallas, Tx
[05:01:17] <masamuneehs> i think it's that the japanese creators don't want to make a direct political statement like "In the future the US will impose a military world government and Cfuck the entire world"
[05:01:50] <masamuneehs> the Pizza Hut logo is a dead give away
[05:02:53] <masamuneehs> oh, and they might have called it Britannia so CLAMP could dress all the anorexic bishies in foppish Victorian-esque regalia, which seems to be the rage in anime these days
[05:03:04] <Kirai> Pizza hut is a militaristic world governement?
[05:03:28] <masamuneehs> you know Kirai, you just might be onto something...
[05:03:42] <Kirai> I like some degree of victoriana... but there are limits
[05:05:13] <Kirai> Of course, a bishie in England would probably be called a faggot, beaten up, and thrown off a bridge by Chavs
[05:05:28] <masamuneehs> they'd call him a 'bundle of sticks' ?
[05:05:39] <Kirai> Yes, yes they would
[05:05:51] <Kirai> Or a strange meat-thing
[05:06:14] <Kirai> a British pork meatball: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_%28food%29

Do what I did masa.
I watched 8 eps in a row

i intend to. will catch up asap.

[Death13a]

Well let me give you a spoiler: you will see much more Pizza Hut. I am guessing that Pizza Hut paying for commercial in anime

[shinta|hikari]

I dont think not planning revenge would mean being able to join up with the people who killed your mother. Its unlikely that Lelouch, even if he thought that revenge would be pointless and gave up on the idea, will come back to Britannia because of what he and Nunally suffered.

That Pizza Hut thing is interesting though. Why does the logo appear on almost every episode anyway? Is it some kind of paid endorsement? Usually in anime, they have to change the brand names slightly to avoid legal trouble, but Pizza Hut just keeps popping up.

[Everon]

The Britannians obviously decided to absorb specific cultural elements from each nation they conquered. From America they took Pizza Hut for its obvious delicousness and from Japan they took thier spoken language.

Oh shi~! Ep 22 will blow you away. I can't wait for the subs.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.... (mild spoilers following i guess, although this ep is so surprising in the end that i don't think you'll be able to guess what's coming from that)











I downloaded the crappy 4D sub (seriously, half the sub is translated... but i've been watching enough to meet the guy who did this halfway... i thank him tho since its a single, or two people's effort).... and WOW, seriously i think this is the BEST episode so far. Geass is NOT Gundam Seed at all right now...and Euphie is slightly different from Lacus... slightly.

I personally think that Rakshata and Diethart are evil... and that the emperor wants to destroy the world for some reason... and seeing that annoying prince completely shocked was PRICELESS!

And I like the fact that Zero did take advantage of the situation. also, Kururugi is fucked... seriously fucked... hell, the whole of Japan is fucked, and, with the emperor's reaction, the whole freaking world is fucked...


I just want to say... Euphemia is my favourite character right now !!













end mild spoilers





Seriously... best ep so far in my opinion... throws the show in another direction (or maybe, back to what it was?)

[Ryllharu]

Nunally's maid.

Sayoko

Damn, my massive post was the last one on the page. I hate when that happens.

[TheBladeChild]

With the last two episodes coming soon, anyone have any predictions as to what will happen at the end of season one.

-No spoilers please -.-
