Non-revenge seeking Lelouch would have lived happily in his father's court, would have been sent in time to conquer countries or supress rebellions and then he would have supervised whatever numbers somewhere around the world. But likely he would have never ventured into Japan, since Japan was overseen by Clovis.
So, chances are he would have never even met any of the girls who now are eyeing him.
I meant that even if everything that happened happened, and he just chose not to get revenge on his father, and stayed the way he was before the incident.
Anyway, how good a pilot is lelouch? so far, he doesnt seem to suck, and the times he was badly beaten up was because he fought with lanbcelot. if he was the one who piloted the Guren, would he perform better than Karen? Lelouch mentioned that Karen is the Ace, is that because of she trumps him in actual skill, or he thinks that he would be of much more use leading the forces and be free to use geass?
Peace.
Lelouch probably would do well in the Guren too, but he'd want to be free to act independently at times and lead at others; it doesn't help if he can only beat up a few units here and there with the Guren while the rest of the knights are in chaos without a full time leader. That's how I look at it.
If he didn't start on the path of revenge, like Kraco said, he'd still be in his father's court. There's nothing else about it. He was given to Japan with Nunnaly as a hostage to Suzaku's family while Britannia and Japan negotiated over the mines and other things. Later, Britannia simply invaded. Without revenge, he probably would have just gone back to Britannia or stayed on as a Governor. He threw away his family name and went to school in Japan because the vow of revenge for his mother's unnecessary death.
Lulu is decent as a pilot. He's not bad, but he is far from a great pilot. He is well aware of this, and stays towards the mid-back of combat to lead. Karen, Suzaku, Cornelia, and the Japanese Liberation Front sergeant are the ace pilots of this series, by a considerable margin. Doesn't hurt that the four of them have the most advanced Knightmares either.
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
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Do what I did masa.
I watched 8 eps in a row
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
i intend to. will catch up asap.Originally Posted by RyougaZell

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
"Life is hilariously cruel" by Bender
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.
Peace.
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.
Britannia, or at least the king, also dislikes and are at odds with the Chinese Federation, who sounds undoubtably communistic. I'd like to see how the Chinese are shown and what they do, if they take part in the story.
IIRC pizza hut didn't appear in the Narita episodes... but I might have been blinded by the awesomeness of the episodes
I might have missed it, but anyone know how long this series is? 24-26 ep-ish?
I got the impression the USA was one of the first places Britannia conquered. Or perhaps the USA of the Code Geass world never won its independence from the UK, or it didn't last for long. And the USA never had royals, obviously, so thinking it might be the origin of the royals in the series is somewhat far fetched, in addition to all the other evidence that pretty much points to Britain.
25 episodes including the recap ep 8.5Britannia, or at least the king, also dislikes and are at odds with the Chinese Federation, who sounds undoubtably communistic. I'd like to see how the Chinese are shown and what they do, if they take part in the story.

Although there is a strong rumor on japanese sites that Code Geass will get a 2nd season next october.
I wanna eat Pizza Hut now... screw Dominos Pizza and Caesars Pizza
KRACO:
Hmmm... dunno how they got conquered or anything... but I see Mexico, Canada and several latinamerican countries being part of Britannia and not a numbered area in the map they show every episode.
I think of Britannia as what would happen if the Brits never lost any of it's commonwealth countries. Then just grew from there, destroying the other European powers.
I'm loving this series although I really wish to know what will happen now that other interests of Lulu's life is merging and fighting with his other life.
image fail!
Well, if you watched next episodes preview then we will be getting some of those answers sooner that we thought. (about Lelouch's inner combat)
Just a thought.
Lelouch and Shirley kissed in the rain. They were drenched, and obviously have to get shelter and change somewhere. Where? Probably some room in the school since he cant just leave Shirley alone in that state (and C.C. is in Lelouchs room, and Shirleys room is probably a no go with the death of her dad and all). What do two emotionally unstable and confused people do in that situation? Logically, it would be the continuation of the kiss (you know what I mean).
It is possible.
But I hope it doesnt happen.
Peace.
Knowing Sunrise it might very well will... look at Seed for instance, BAM! out of nowhere they show Kira and Fray, and Code Geass already has Nina's... ummm... "exercise" scene...
O yeah, Costco pizza > Pizza hut for price/size/taste ratio...
OR...... they could just skip to the next day entirely with nothing else happening. But then again, I don't know Sunrise's style or whatever. I still don't like how easily Lelouch kissed Shirley.
And yes, Costco pizza > Pizza Hut. Definitely one of the most underrated pizzas out there. Heck, I think it's the best pizza (so damn huge for one freakin slice, haha).
I forget where I read this, maybe from wikipedia, but I will summorize what I remember.
Its a alternate dimension based on the fact that the United States never declared independence from England. So through the American Colonies, England took over all of North America, and probably most if not all, of South America, creating the Britannian Empire.
(Then obviously, Pizza Hut took over the Britannian Empire by bribing the fat Emperor with many, many pizzas thus controlling the world!!)
How much does a pizza from Pizza Hut cost? How about a Costco one?
They will probably skip to the next day. I just hope Lelouch doesnt do any more things he will regret so soon. Tomorrow the raw is gonna be out! I cant wait for ep 13!!
Peace.
