While dreaming about Kallen… tied and with nowhere to go.
Right now, I have Code Geass R2 and Daughter of Twenty Faces as frontrunners for Best Anime of 2008, barely edging out Vampire Knight by 10,000 spots. Both Lulu-fest and Chiko-fest can’t be more different in terms of series:
One is poorly written, yet is entertaining because it is poorly written. One is well-written, yet is entertaining because it is well-written.
One relies on numerous tit and ass shots. One has a heroine running around in a very modest long skirt.
One has a protagonist (with a “secret”) in love with a girl significantly younger than him. One has a protagonist (with a “secret”) in love with a guy significantly older than him.
One has a meido pretending to be the primary male character. One has a meido who might just be the primary male character.
Just to clarify on that last point, after Sayoko revealed, to the shock of very few people, that she was cosplaying as Lulu, I got thinking, “Wait, what if Twenty Faces was cosplaying as Tome?” But then I started thinking that wasn’t likely since why would Twenty Faces dress up as a meido? I think it’s more plausible that we flip that equation around that Tome is really Twenty Faces. The story has alluded to Tome early on, and if she saw what was happening to Chiko, then it would make sense that she could don Twenty Face’s get up and become the “Ojisan.” The last few episodes with Chiko fighting superhumans seemed to make this even more plausible since all of her opponents have been mad female scientists. Maybe Tome was their comrade and now moonlights as Ojisan.
Honestly, I think the writing is good enough that this scenario won’t happen. It’s a bit too cheesy– at least a lot cheesier than the blimp. I also think that Edogawa Rampo’s family wouldn’t allow that large of a change to Twenty Faces.
Anyway, from last time…
Lateraldeath: Also, it seems all new knightmare technologies are innovated by Lakshaka’s couch laying and pipe smoking techniques. Poor Lloyd really loses in comparison.
Oh come on, Lloyd’s too busy filming his harem comedy, To Love Llyod, featuring Cecile, Cecile’s cleavage, Millay, Millay’s breasts, Nina, Nina’s table, and his hydrospanner as his harem to actually work on developing new Gundams. The thing is that Code Geass R2 is cross-pollinating now… whenever in Gundam one side gets an uber toy, they will almost always get it stolen by the other side, and the other side will quickly develop a replica. Nevermind that even if a team of AMD engineers got their hands on a Core 2 Duo, do you really think that they could recreate it complete in three months? Anyway, except to see Britannia using the radiation wave in their next Gundam.
Keiya: YES WE CAN! And while you’re at it, you MUST write one episode where the girls are all cheese-wrestling on top of the giant pizza (like mud-wrestling, only with several hundred pounds of warm, melting mozarella *___*)
Normally, something like this would get a YTARM, but we got a really special one this time. As my running mate for head scriptwriter of Code Geass R2, I think I’m going to pick XEBEC. Did you see those Kanokon DVD specials? Now that’s how you sell DVDs. Though I think they should have convinced Ayako Kawasumi to do a special vocal version of the DVD specials where she just goes “Ecchi na no wa ikenai to omoimasu!” for a solid five minutes.
Vote for me! More fanservice! Less bringing back dead characters! Best. DVD. Specials. Ever. YES WE CAN!
Nekonron: I’ll vote you as scriptwriter! Then we know we’ll be getting awesomefanserviceandtotallywtfscenesoverload! :D Lelouch must really be gay. There’s absolutely no straight guy on earth who could stop himself with C.C. lying down with barely anything in his room like that. I almost had a nosebleed from here.
Definitely my campaign calls for more bunny suit Kallen, more Britannian dresses for Millay, and more Anya twittering. YES WE CAN!
I’d also make Lulu more manly. He’d go around secretly scoring all the heroines, just to make all the fangirls who watch this series hate me for screwing up a near perfect BL setup. (By the way, never a good sign when an anime has both T&A as well as a near perfect BL setup.) Then I’d make Suzaku into Kogarashi’s dark apprentice. Kukuku will be the new OH GEASS NO.
Kiri: God, I can’t wait until 12. LEAPLOUCH~~ shall become a meme unto itself. Take that, Spinzaku!
Why do all of these meme have to remind me of the Olympics? I never liked any of the Code Geass character meme, and “Spinzaku” is really as forced as “Casey and Friends.” I’d rather call Suzaku either “Shirtless-dono” or “Pacman Jones.” For Lelouch, “Lulu” is awesome on so many levels. Not only is it his nickname, it’s also sounds like a name you’ll see on a same-sex marriage certificate from San Francisco.
Blademun: I will give CGR2 this, it is breaking new boundary’s in ridiculousness. As for this new poll, I am sticking with Kaguya. I like a loli who knows what she’s doing. If you know what I mean.
No, I don’t know what you mean. Please elaborate. Thanks.
Galen2: Kallen tied up…check. Kallen imprisoned…check. Kallen wearing C.C.’s outfit from R1’s first episode…kinky check. Now all we need is some garlic sauce and we’re ready to party.
Haesslich: The Blockquote has failed me!
This is what happens when you’re browsing through your Mako-cakes folder while lying about doing otherwise. The blockquote knoweth all!
Tarage: You know what I’m most thankful for? The fact that we didn’t get a Lulu ass shot like we did with everyone else in this episode. OH GEASS NO!
I’m just thankful that when fake Lulu took off the mask, it was just Sayoko. I think it would have been one of those Keyser Soze moments if fake Lulu took off the mask and revealed that it was really Twenty Faces. Bricks. Shat.
(Speaking of which, I need to go rent that new Futurama movie.)
Shadowbreak: Did anyone else get the feeling that Lelouch was going to play some funky psychedelic electronic music for some aliens to communicate to them when he took out the controls for his mecha??
Shadowbreak, cut back on all that Kaiba viewing. When he broke out the keyboards, I was thinking more along the lines of:
A. C.C. breaks out a guitar, and Lulu and C.C. recreate Fire Bomber’s offensive prowess from Macross 7 with a promotional deal with Guitar Hero.
B. Lulu is going to hax into Britannia like Yuki with the Computer Club.
C. He’s going to pilot New Black command line style. Real men don’t need joysticks or Windows. All they need is a bash shell, even to control giant robots.
Spaniard: And now the they’re at high school. Erghhhhhh. Why. Why. I’ve finally given up on the story.
Better late than never.
Seeker4life: lol… it will be more better if you have Kana and Chiaki govern South Korea and have Haruka govern North Korea. And now the complete circle became a sphere
If Vichy Japan is ruled by Nunnally, Rebel Japan by Sumeragi, and China by Tian-Zi, I’d have to go with Ana Coppola for Britannia’s Vice President, Mei Sunohara for the Soviet Union, Asami Kurosaki for the AEU, Yuko Amasawa for Azeroth, Becky for the Middle East, and Chiko for the Zentradi (I just have this feeling aliens are going to show up in Code Geass).
K.K. I’d be angrier about Kallen being captured, except she was captured by eunuchs first, and the Knights of Rounds second. The one most likely to try anything out of that group is Nina.
I’m actually disappointed. Tough to have doujishis about eunuchs and Kallen. I honestly had Comiket 74 circled on my calender for August.
Nodspy: Your asking for proper grammar and punctuation when a tied up Kallen is just waiting to be groped?? Are you mad? Sentence structure be damned! Now if you please I’m off to buy more baby oil and maybe some whip cream.
“Groped”? You must mean “star in numerous doujinshis and sex tapes.” Though, still not good enough, Nodspy. You remain a bridesmaid. It’s tough getting the award for a Code Geass post since the comments are routinely more awesome than the show itself.
Sixten: “Jason†has a flat chest, wears her hair in twintails, and has long hidden her true feelings for the likes of Sunrise and True Tears behind a screen of scorn. 99%! She’s that type of woman! If only she were short, it would be 100%.
Yep… these are the people I work with.

First!
Since season1 we’ve seen glimpses of something that looks like another world that C.C or people like C.C are from so having aliens jump into the plot doesn’t seem too far fetched, hey it’s Sunrise. It’ll probably be like how the Draenei was added into WoW, space aliens or beings from another dimension? The boundaries are now forever blurred. I even got the feeling that planet looking thing in the OPs looks alot like the Eye of God from El Hazard that teleports it’s target in and out of dimensions.
>(I just have this feeling aliens are going to show up in Code Geass).
They will. And they’re from Jupiter. CC is most likely one of them, just like Anya and Lulu’s mother XD
(Seriously, Jupiter has been shown in CC’s dream sequence and there were some words relating to Jupiter through indian mythologie or something, I forgot.)
Eyaaargh, must wipe image brought up by Sixten’s comment out of my mind!
As for the topic. To be fair, for all the plot’s out-there twists, Code Geass R2 still remains one of the more entertaining shows of the season… For different reasons to different people. The only thing I’m bothered so far about CG is the sudden detour into High School Love Comedy territory. Talk about CLAMP-ish…
Oh wait.
I just loved that face Chiko gave to her aunt when her aunt tried to push her off. Lightning fast and a face that conveyed the very expression of “I can already see the ending!”
sixten is in jc staff? rly?
“For Lelouch, ‘Lulu’ is awesome on so many levels. Not only is it his nickname, it’s also sounds like a name you’ll see on a same-sex marriage certificate from San Francisco.”
I beg to differ. Clearly, it ought to be “trans-gender same-sex marriage certificate”
They should just rename the second season to Code Guy Ass: Lulu of the Rebellion
Correction: Make that “Lulu on Top”
Cuz it’s not gay if you’re on top?
(Jon Stewart reference FTW!)
The 20 Faces is really Tome theory… inspired by Kogarashi. I’ll be keeping that one in mind.
Rather than Tome, the lawyer with Chiko’s aunt might be the real Twenty Faces in disguise. It’s not probable, but still possible!
Hmm.. I was actually wondering about his confidence in what he was typing/playing since there are no displays to show what he’s pressed nor are there sound that would allow him to distinguish the different “keys”.
He’s just blindly and deafly smashing away. Sooner or later he’s gonna screw up and kick himself from behind.
Wait… you really ARE Cannon-sensei? OTL
Wait – we keep seeing pictures of Jupiter, so maybe there are aliens from Jupiter (Jovians). And in Nadesico, the Jovians looked just like us, but they had based their whole society on cheesy anime. It all makes sense! C.C. and her fellow Geassies are actually Nadesico Jovians who have as their secondary power giving people powers, but who primarily remake reality around them into a cheesy anime! That’s why Code Geass is so ridiculous – it’s all part of the plan!
Thus sixten proves my theory that “Jasmine” is actually a broken tsundere.
Tsundere for Sunrise
Chiko is absolutely adorable. Cute, smart, athletic, kind, determined. And Aya Hirano is doing a fantastic job voicing her. Best loli of the season.
On a completely unrelated note, Jason, aren’t you going to blog about the Tower of Druaga’s ending?
^ It’s a perfect sign for any bisexual viewers out there actually. It also gives the fanboys and fangirls an equal piece of the pie depending on how they interprate the show. Everyone wins in Code Geass!
Dammit, where did my qoute go? Before my schpiel it was:
(By the way, never a good sign when an anime has both T&A as well as a near perfect BL setup.)
LOL! The second last picture is made of win.
Although I think we need Lulu beside her in the same pose… that’s what he’s going to look like after I steal Nunally from him… JUST AS KEIKAKU!
“One has a protagonist (with a “secretâ€) in love with a girl significantly younger than him. One has a protagonist (with a “secretâ€) in love with a guy significantly older than him.”
I am very. confused. Following the order of your other comments, I’ll assume the first half of the observation goes to Code G. while the latter goes to CHiko? Then don’t you meant to say ” One has a protagonist (with a “secretâ€) in love with a guy significantly older than HER -instead of him?
“The last few episodes with Chiko fighting superhumans seemed to make this even more plausible since all of her opponents have been mad female scientists.”
The female scientists always referred Twenty Faces as a “he”. Unless, Tome is Twenty Faces with a face mask, but Chiko would know. During her first job, she knew which man Twenty Faces was, even under the mask…
“Definitely my campaign calls for more bunny suit Kallen, more Britannian dresses for Millay, and more Anya twittering. YES WE CAN!”
I’m voting for you!
“I’d also make Lulu more manly. He’d go around secretly scoring all the heroines, just to make all the fangirls who watch this series hate me for screwing up a near perfect BL setup. (By the way, never a good sign when an anime has both T&A as well as a near perfect BL setup.) Then I’d make Suzaku into Kogarashi’s dark apprentice. Kukuku will be the new OH GEASS NO.”
You should do that, but then after Lulu is done with all the girls, he should visit Suzaku in the mountains training with Kogarashi. THen the two should get married. Kukuku. Rolo would be a bridesmaid of course, I’d LOVe to see his soured expression. (sorry, I really do love BL in the series, and can’t give that up!)
“(Speaking of which, I need to go rent that new Futurama movie.)”
Hurray it’s ouT! I still don’t understand why Fox had to cancel that brilliant show. TT
I think you’re a boy, Jason, not by the name, but by your comments.
“Yep… these are the people I work with.”
I like “Yep.. these are my readers” better.
“On a completely unrelated note, Jason, aren’t you going to blog about the Tower of Druaga’s ending?”
Yea…. when is that going to happen?
I guess I’ll sum it up like this: If Jason is tsundere for Sunrise’s trainwrecks, then I guess I’m yandere for Jason’s trainwrecks.
Bye, see you in Hell.
“Though I think they should have convinced Ayako Kawasumi to do a special vocal version of the DVD specials where she just goes ‘Ecchi na no wa ikenai to omoimasu!’ for a solid five minutes.”
Now THAT’s a mega irony, basing it on the fact that mos tof the girls she voices are either super ecchi (Chizuru from Kanokon, Saki from ToLoveRu, Kazumi from the Shanatan specials, Mikan from Potemayo, etc), or the object of too much ecchi (Ruriko from Gatekeepers, Kaori from Kanon, Saber from FSN and Mahoro herself)
“Vote for me! More fanservice! Less bringing back dead characters! Best. DVD. Specials. Ever. YES WE CAN!”
If you get elected, do you promise to change every female pilots’ outfit to a super fabulously sexy version of meido/cat girl/miko/whatever fetish you can think of, AND promise new pilots that have a HIGH BULLYING FACTOR to wear said outfits? O_O
Sunrise should just drop Code Geass, and then make a new mecha series where the pilots are super sexy versions of Queen’s Blade characters that pilot female-ish mecha that have weapons that only Go Nagai could think of. ^_^
… ah. Yes, they call this projecting one’s own motives onto someone else, I think. May I tie this to Sixten’s picture?
See sixten’s picture link above. I personally consider this suitable penance for the whole Kyonko heresies. ;)
PS: Is it wrong to have imagined a crossover between Tsukihime the visual novel and Code Geass after seeing the above image of Sayoko getting drunk? For some reason, I’m thinking of the “THIS CHAIR. THIS CHAIR. THIS CHAIR. THIS CHAIR” screen, with the chair being replaced by “THIS TABLE. THIS TABLE” overlaying a still CG of Nina-tan… working with it.
Wow, Miao-Sensei’s pretty cute….Nope, no way there’s a penis on that, none. I won’t accept it!
Guess i’m going to hell too, for that one.

Yes… yes, you will, and soon too. ;)
That image DOES feel familiar though. I’m trying to think of what character it reminds me of.
Hmm. That works better, I think.
I’m actually disappointed. Tough to have doujishis about eunuchs and Kallen. I honestly had Comiket 74 circled on my calender for August.
Sir, I respectfully disagree.
Kallen kidnapped by eunuchs is right where we want to be. Let me explain.
A Kallen kidnapped by abled-body men (or women for that matter) writes itself. Rape, gang-bang, perhaps some bondage. How quaint. You can see that depth of perversion on a pull-out of Newtype these days. Enough to derail boys perhaps, but I crave a darker penny to make my choo-choo jump the tracks.
A Kallen kidnapped by half-men boy-lovers and Suzaku. Now that has the potential to be a spicy meatball indeed. Already it is turning and churning, writhing and rasping, in one of the crazy, obsessed, socially-stunted geniuses who are spread throughout Japan and meet annually to share pornography at Comiket. Will they create something so out there, so disturbing, so magnificent, it derails not just individuals but society as a whole?
We can only pray.
In short, don’t be dissapointed Jason. Be afraid.
…Imagine, I just lost my reply because I failed your spam protection. What a blow to my I-graduated-vector-calculus-ego.
Anyway. All memes are forced and tired after the first week, but when come on. Spinzaku has a funny enough basis, unless you just happen to see people fly through the air and spin three times in a row all the time, in which case I guess it’s not that special after all.
Leaplouch will be fun in any case; if nothing else, it will declare a victor in the debates as to whether or not it’s actually Lelouch performing that maddening physical feat or Sayoko!Lelouch fucking things up even more somehow.
Also, making Lelouch manlier will not get him more girls. Making him girlier will. Funny how that works, huh?
SBX07:
Well, he actually *does* work with Sixten. The guy’s not just a random reader, you know?
Now in color.
(I have to get back on Heart’s Content before Miao-Sensei punishes me.)
“Urusai! Urusai! Urusai!” Jason-ko. How does it feel to have that in your mind, Myssa Rei? ;)
To derail this thread a little and speak about… Code geass. Well there’s not much to say actually. The show’s been plugging along with all the merits I’ve mentioned previously, except the plot’s actually getting even more trainwrecked, Plot Twist #N+1 piles upon Plot Twist #N, a tower that is starting to look dangerously unstable… and JUST AS PLANNED is working as well as ever.
One of the things that amused me was the rebellion Lulu engineered in China. That apparently happened practically overnight, and met very little resistance. Yup, Zero’s able to dethrone rulers except where he most needs to… specifically, Area 11. One might ask why he hasn’t been able to devise a plot that would overthrow the Britannian overlords there in a single night by creating a popular uprising.

Hear, hear. Naturally, it works like an interactive fiction (aka text adventure) game:
“You are standing on the plains of China. Exits lead north, east, south, west. You see an enemy knightmare. What do you want to do?”
> KILL ENEMY KNIGHTMARE WITH LASER GUN
“The knightmare crumbles down into a pile of debris. A knightmare enters from north. A knightmare enters from north. A knightmare enters from east. CC calls you about the pizza delivery being late. What do you want to do?”
An advanced model will have a radar that works like those Roguelikes, in all that awesome ASCII glory.
I see he already did.
>> He’s going to pilot New Black command line style. Real men don’t need joysticks or Windows. All they need is a bash shell, even to control giant robots.
Well, that beam thing definitely looked like rm -r chinese_army …
Your just jealous that I’ll look way better in a bridesmaid dress.
