why didn't you say so earlier...
You are my hero. I wish for the 1280 version of Kallen pleaseOriginally Posted by shinta|hikari
KrayZ33: thanks!
Animus:
I was trying to say that. A studio obviously has its own art and everything. Thus, the Geass art is based on the original designs by CLAMP.
Pure CLAMP art is found on the new ending.
@Krayz - Was too busy trying to make a sig and failing to check this thread.
@RZ - here it is. It should be in proper size in deviantart.

Peace.
"Not alike" is a huge stretch. That's like saying Fairy Tail's art has no similarity at all to One Piece. The style is not as different as you think. The sharp and sleek style is the result of the use in high quality animation tools and programs. I acknowledged they had slight differences already, but it's clear they are ALIKE. Geass's art actually has more rounder features than CLAMP's as evident by Rollo, the new Blond Knight and the pink haired girl next to Suzaku at the end.
The only really clear differences is Lelouch's hairstyle and the overall larger more bubbly eyes in Geass. The rest are within the realm of human error and approximation.
I think they chose not to kill Lelouch because they wanted to get C.C. I doubt the Emperor will stand for her to run free anymore since he is all for power.
After watching the episode again I can't help but wonder how the hell they intend to escape. I mean they only have 2 real good Knightmares, and after a year I'm pretty sure Suzaku is probably better than ever. Not to mention that if Lelouch decides to use the Knightmare that C.C. found him in it'll probably fall completly apart after Suzaku sees him like always. Maybe the guys from China will help them out.
@animus - What I meant was that its a different way of drawing the characters altogether. Of course it has to bear some similarity to the original, otherwise the characters wont be recognizable, but the changes that are there are conscious deviations. CLAMP style is definitely more round than geass (ie CCSakura) but of course the bishies are usually sleek faced. From your last post, it seemed that you were implying that they are very similar, and that the changes are simply caused by the use of high quality animation tools and whatnot. Im simply trying to say that isnt the real reason for the difference, but rather the artists chosen style of drawing those images.
@Yuki - Here is the other wallpaper.

Peace.
thats what i love about this series.. its not like gundam :/
Thanks shinta, however I believe 1280x1024 versions were hinted at, your devientart pics seem to be 600x480.
@KrayZ: Geass as a whole may not be like Gundam, but there is still a strong similarity between it and Gundam as far as Suzaku is concerned.
With no special Knightmare training ever hinted at Suzaku just hopped into a brand new, state of the art mecha and piloted it better than anyone else ever had. Then he would go one to single handedly turn the tide of most of the battles he got involved with ruining good plans and scratching out a victory from what should have been a hopeless situation. This is all aided in no small part by his semi-divine mechs ability to slice/blast through almost any obstacles.
Fortunately Suzaku shouldn't be anywhere near where Lelouch is so Lelouch can come up with a plan to get them out that has a reasonable chance of success. However I can't remember the preview off the top of my head so maybe Suzaku is actually in Japan (why would the Emperor be in Japan?) in which case he'll probably show up and ruin things somehow without fail.

You have to download them using the download link at the left of the picture, then the actual 1280 size will appear.
Suzaku was actually top class as a pilot from the simulations/trainings he has had before riding lancelot. The only reason he wasnt an actual ace pilot is because he is an 11. Im not exactly sure about this info though, but I vaguely remember it from the early parts of CGS1.
Escape is assured (from what I can see in the preview). The encounter with Suzaku and Lancelot isnt likely too happen too soon.
Peace.
Yes Lelouch is too near from Le Louche to not be a hint from french language.
Louche comes from the verb Loucher that means to squint or to have one's eye on
When something is Louche, it means it is suspicious.
I like this name because it has 2 meanings from suspicious, to the squint problem he has due to the Geass.
Lelouch could also be a token of affection towards Claude Lelouch, a french film director. I wonder if other major names can be related to artists over the world.
Regarding the ep, I'm not sure I understood this 7 years leap. It seems obvious that it wasn't 7 years from the last time Zero appeared, because no one seems 7 years older.
For the seal of his memories, I guess it was a sort of emergency procedure applied to him so that his Geass doesn't gain more strenght, as it was starting to be uncontrolable. It could be some kind of recovery time needed for his body to be able to hold and control Geass again, for some time at least.
Then I guess what is missing is why Karen and other blacknights member know about Lelouch being Zero (maybe I lost memory of last season?)
Suzaku seems motivated in killing Lelouch too, there's no hint telling us he would'nt remember Zero is Lelouch.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
And for those who doesn't want the sucky kliché "hell's angel written all over the place, here is a removal of that by a friend of mine. He said he was gonna do text removal on the original with all the credits in tomorrow as well.

Wasn't the 7 years the years when the first war started and ended, remember, at the beginning of the first season you see Lelouch as a whelp in the midst of a war-zone or something like that.

uhm.. because karen was there when lelouch faced suzaku :O?
she went after him
I'm not sure how I feel about someone not only calling the text on a wallpaper I made sucky and cliche (which it may very well be), but also editing it then reposting it without so much as a word to me. I'm not saying it is a crime or anything, but I would have liked some sort of notice, especially after such criticism.
EDIT: I could have posted one without text you know, considering that it will only take me two seconds to make the text invisible then save it as a jpeg file. A simple request would have sufficed.
Peace.
Sorry, didn't realize you actually made them, guess I wasn't paying enough attention. And about the criticism, I have two problems, the first is the spelling of her name which of course is enough to cause debate, needless to say, I'd go for the katakana Karen カレン, which I believe makes more sense since it's a fairly common name in western culture.
But the big problem would be the Hell's Angel which could be reffering to the MC club Hell's Angels who are very well known for their organized crime all over the western world, not only in the US but also in Europe, not to mention Sweden where I come from which just is a bad association.
Edit: And of course, had I known you were the creator, I would have asked you. Because other than that, you id a helluva job removing the text.
Its no problem since you thought I didn't make them in the first place. Constructive criticism is always welcome, especially with the explanation that you gave in the last post.
I honestly didnt know there was such an organization called "hell's angels". Still, that is simply me being ignorant and is no excuse for using the same name and making it sound copied. Its always good to learn something new.
Im personally not sure which is the true name for Kallen/Karen so I just put down what came to mind. Anyway, this is going off topic and its half my fault, so lets end this here.
@David - what do you mean by Lelouch's squint problem due to his geass?
Peace.
isn't this a pokemon attack to reduce the opponents defence?
btw where did he say lelouch has a squint problem?
i thought that "loucher" or something in france means "to squint" or so.
@ David:
was it 7 years? i thought they said 1 year.
It was bugging me so I looked up Suzaku's past and got conflicting reports about whether he was trained and did well but was disregarded because of his status or that he was simply found to be naturally talented in the heat of the moment but had never even gotten tested before due to his 11 status.
Then I rewatched episode 2 where he was godlike at piloting Lancelot when by his own admission he had no experience with Knightmares prior and he'd just read 'most' of the manual. Cecile comments that he'd only had simulation experience but he was 'at the top of his class'. Assuming his claim that he'd never had experience with Knightmares was true I can only assume they gave him the manual, stuck him in the simulator and he did amazingly well in simulated combat for however many hours they had with which to get him ready. Simulation only experiance-> single handedly owning a whole platoon at the ripe old age of 17 seems enough like a divinely gifted Gundam pilot skill to me.
EDIT: Some on topic stuff
It was definitely 1 year from the end of Season 1, some people just don't have/choose not to apply the mental capacity needed to follow a simple progression of time, pity them, but do not hate them.

Well, finally got to watch this. I'm just glad Lelouch is back to his old self now. It seems C.C.'s identity isn't so secretive after the rebellion, and I loved that Chinese fellow's antique.
7 years passed since Britannia invaded until Zero appeared
1 year has passed since Zero 'died'
Hmmm... edition of someone else's wallpaper... that surely is rude... even if it was done without knowing... but if Shinta makes an untexted one I will be there to download it
And I think the correct one is Kallen... will research...
EDIT:
Well... HLJ sells figures of her using the name Kallen, rather than Karen.

Wow, well they sure kicked the season off with a bang. Guess i didn't expect anything less though after last season. Nice to see my utter hatred of Suzaku validated from the very first episode this season. Also was it just me or did the lady standing next to Suzaku at the end look a like an older, not blind, version of Nunnaly?
My only disappointment is that after waiting and wondering so long i still have no idea exactly what happened at the end of last season. Oh well, i'm sure they'll reveal that to us in good time.
