    Hmmm I don't like the whole thing... in my opinion the TV-sized version sounds much better!
    even though I somehow like this "effect" @ 0:34 ^^

    its good up to ~2:30

    That's probably the catchiest part of the whole song. Like you said, it just sorta fell apart at the end. Doesn't have the same feel to it anymore.

    As for the third song.....wtf. And they manage to do it for 8:10


    Maybe I just don't appreciate their style much. I do like the OP, both tv and long version. It's not the best, but there's MUCH worse.

    Both versions are pretty good but I think I'm leaning towards the tv version like you guys. I find myself listening to the full version alot lately though...
    This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!

    Preview for episodes 9-10

    I do not see this deserving it's own thread, as it should have been attached to this episode.

    As this week's episode was replaced with something stupid, all we get this week is a preview for next week:

    [gg] ​Code Geass​ R2​ -​ 09-10 Preview​

    See no reason to whine, we already knew that we wouldn't get the episode this week and we know why, so let's just be happy instead that we get a double-ep for next week.

    I don't believe I was conveying a whining tone of any sort. We knew last week that a special just like every run-of-the-mill variety show on Japanese television was superseding this week's episode, with only the loosest of connections to the actual series (a voice actress playing some side character). Given that those kind of shows rarely (if ever) appear on American television anymore, I do not think I was out of line describing it "stupid."

    (Though now this post carries a "defensive" tone due to your misconstrued view on the tone of my last post.)

    Ryllharu needs to stop throwing the dictionary at people.

    anyways no ep this week, and more things to go on questioning in this series...
    image fail!

    I didn't think of that. But if that's the case...

    From the preview though, I'm surprised the BK and the Chinese are having a conflict so early.

    Code Geass R2: Episode 09

    Here it is.

    Code Geass R2: Episode 09 by Chihiro

    EDIT: I will wait for more people to watch it before I comment.

    Wait, does this mean only one episode will get released this week? Then the preview from before is a gigantic spoiler.

    Thanks for the link.

    Will watch it ASAP (after formula 1) and update.

    I'm just baffled at this show.
    I can't say more because everyone should rejoice watching it without any hints!

    I didn't watch last week's preview, and i guess others didn't either, so if its such a spoiler, it'd be nice not to discuss it here!

    I find it weird that Zero lost to his brother because of pride. I don't remember him being in such a situation before, but he's shown enough ruthlessness before that pride shouldn't get in the way of his objectives.

    Don't worry. I am not planning to discuss it here. Rather, my comment should serve as a warning for others who do not want to be spoiled before watching this episode.

    Lelouch almost died in S1 because of his pride. Remember when he tried to confront Cornelia despite C.C.'s warnings and had to get his ass saved. That was all because of his pride.

    Schneizel's last move was forbidden.
    But Lelouch couldn't use that argument since this move was all about innerfire and white king action, with pure intentions and so on.
    Should Lelouch argue, he would've been seen as cheap. Truth is the match was a draw, that's all. They needed to play again. But to me a draw is already a loss for Lelouch, more over he was clearly inferor as the threefold was due to him having no more options for he lost too many pieces.

    Scheizel's last move was impossible rule wise, then useless chess wise.
    But was very important for image and to understand his oponent's psychology, as he stated.

    But the threefold rule is a draw for a reason. The fact that Lelouch was able to make such a situation possible despite having fewer pieces is a testament to his skill, which even Schneizel recognizes rivals his own. As I am sure you know, the number of pieces on hand is only a small part of chess. Positioning is also key.

    The move was indeed illegal according to chess rules, but the rationale behind that is because it would be like surrendering by allowing the opponent to take the King (which is done by resigning, and only a fool would do it by mistake). The chess match was a definite draw, but Lelouch lost the more important battle this time by letting his personality be read by his opponent, a fatal mistake, but also a great opportunity in the future if he is able to deal with his prideful stubbornness.

    Well, Tian Zi is cute. A little annoying at the end repeatedly calling for Xing Ke, but cute nonetheless.

    I think if there is anything that pisses me off more than some of the shit the Britannian's and Suzaku have been doing, it's slimy ministers like the eunuchs that use their leader as a puppet for their own ends.

    Still, the one that really shined for me this episode was Kaguya. She's very close friends with Tian Zi, so that should impart some trust of Zero in Tian Zi. Not to mention her excellent verbal sparring with Suzaku and Schnizel when the three of them entered. Just as she moves normally, she spun and danced all around the political bullshit and made Suzaku lose some face.

    Five stars for Milly's dress.

    Now there are plenty more reasons to hate Nina. From all her hyperlesbian cries for her fallen idol, insults to Suzaku, downright nasty words for her best friend, and all the other whining, there won't ever be a time or any conditions I would not hate her. Especially for the way she treated Milly. She's blind if she thinks that Milly never did anything for her. She put herself squarely in the middle of the absolute highest amount of danger when she tried to persuade Nina out of the Nuclear Knightmare. Nina is so disgustingly blinded by Euphie it is sickening.

    At least Kallen showed her what for.

    This series needs more C.C.! It's as if she has become just another background character.

    Quite interesting development. Lelouch's plan can't be as brutish as it seems at the end of this episode, I reckon, but exactly what it contains remains to be seen. He might geass Tian Zi for forced cooperation, and it might not even be a bad thing, but who knows. I guess it depends on the complexity of his plan. But with his geass plans don't need to be so complex. We can't forget, either, that there are still some high ranking British people in the country, so Lelouch would also have chances to orchestrate a conflict causing a war between Britannia and China, thus sealing China's destiny to a one favorable to the Black Knights.

    In any case it's high time for action, and the next ep should have some. With or without our old immortal friend: Orange-kun.

    Edit: Oh. Where's Rollo? Was he in this ep?
