Mushrooms on pizzas and masks on kittens
C.C. with cheese and I’m a bit smitten
Shirley and Karen tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
A few things that I like more than gin and tonic…
That right smack dab in the middle of area eleven
I found a paradise thats troubleproof
And if this old world starts a getting you down
There’s room enough for two
Up on the roof
I couldn’t have been the only one thinking “Hey, is this Lulu’s signal for ‘let’s meet by the riverbank and play doctor’?” Then there was the very uncomfortable minute before we find out that it’s just a signal to meet on the roof. Still, I’m not sure if we’re out of the woods yet… why would two friends need a signal to meet up on the roof? Unless… OH GEASS NO!
Aitai ai ai ai ai no ni
Aenai ai ai ai konya wa
So technically, both Yuffie and the crazy, bloodthirsty mecha commander girl are both Nanali’s sisters? It’s like Sister Princess! I can’t wait for Lulu to be surrounded by his twelve sisters. Nanali already has the “Aria” role down, complete with her “Jiiya.” Yuffie would be Chitose, and crazy mecha commander would have to be Sakuya after a few beers.
(Sorry, I don’t know any Hezbollah campfire songs. I should stop this gimmick before the CIA finds me or Universal Records finds me. Let’s just move on.)
Question: why are the Hezbollah involved? More importantly, what kind of terrorists hide in a huge, central anthill guarded by propelled artillery pieces? Judging by Israel’s foray into Syria and the current occupation of Iraq by Britannia, no wonder Japan got rolled over. They have no clue how to fight asymmetrical warfare.
What were you more giddy about during this sequence? The meido? The sickly imouto? Or Lulu’s surprise? (For me, the meido of course. We desperately need some excuse in the plot for Karen to disguise herself as one.)
Kinda funny how Athrun eventually steals Kira’s harem… Kira has the “I’m stuck with Lacus” face at the end while Athrun has the “How the hell do I book Cagali, Luna, Meyrin, and Meer?” face prior to episode 37 of Destiny. I think the same thing will happen with Suzaku– he’s the much nicer of the two, and he’s already winning over imouto. Next up: Shirley then Karen. Then the final boss: C.C. You know it’s going to go there with maybe a pit stop at Nina along the way. (Of course, this assumes that Suzaku is at least straight or bisexual. If he really does only have eyes for Lulu or is pansexual, then all bets are off.)
She’s looking a lot better after wearing some Pizza Hut goggles. Seriously, Lulu’s first order of business is to get her out of baggy clothes and into something tighter. This, of course, assumes that Lulu doesn’t have the hots for Suzaku. Who am I kidding? Lulu’s definitely a frequent patron of the Blue Oyster Club.
I was hoping for something like this when I saw the Pizza Hut delivery man:
Pizza Hut Dude: Excuse me! Pizza’s here!
C.C.: (Answers door dressed in negligee) Why… heeeello.
Pizza Hut Dude: (Flustered) Uh, this order was under a man’s name… is this okay?
C.C.: (Playing with a strand of her hair) You mean the man who won’t touch me ever since his “friend” transferred to this school? I’ll pay for the pizza. How much is it?
Pizza Hut Dude: (Very flustered) Uh, that’ll be… uh… $19.99 for the larrrrge su… su… supreme.
C.C.: (Bites her lips cloyingly) Oh, my purse’s inside. Please come in, and I’ll bring you the money.
(For the rest, you’ll have to subscribe to AoMM’s premium content service.)
I know this comment was directed at Lulu and not at C.C., but she’s the only scarfing down the pizza. I’m getting worried… maybe this is why C.C. insists on wearing the baggy clothes instead of something more form fitting like the school uniform… OH GEASS NO!
(Anyone else thinking, “Wait, Light-o built a frickin’ fire trap for the Death Note yet Lulu is just using some oversized luggage? Lulu is an inferior anti-hero compared to Light-o. Though we can debate the merits of Misa’s vs. Shirley’s ass some other time.)
Need better– I’m expecting good work from you Sunrise in this department! Maybe we need to kill off Nanali just so we can get a “NANALI!” from Lulu as he carries around her cellphone. Don’t worry though, Nanali would be alive and well for episode 25.
Cat loose around town? People chasing after it causing all sorts of mischief? Reminds me of a Mai Otome storyline feating Mikoto the cat. Hell, that could be Mikoto on a diet.
Anytime we get a hybridization of plots between Mai Otome and Tokimeki Memorial, it’s a good thing… right? Either that or Sunrise is really, really running out of plot ideas for filler episodes. (Tip for Sunrise: hot springs filler episodes are always superior.)
(I can’t believe we went from a far-reaching global political struggle to Lulu chasing around a cat in just a few episodes. Who am I kidding? This is Sunrise. They had Lacus and company go to the mall right after before the final battle.)
See, fanservice makes everything better.
As do ツンデレ characters. Funny how Karen seems to be more pumped about safeguarding her first kiss than she is liberating Japan.
I have no clue how to do a power ranking for Code Geass… there’s no clear number 1. We need to come up with a BCS ranking for all the haremettes… of course, the winner plays the runner-up in the “Championship Bowl.”
I can’t recall the last Sunrise series not to feature overly gay or lesbian characters. In a related story, Tamama has become the new mascot of the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade.
This episode just gets better and better. Ace and Gary moments + Pizza Hut + C.C.’s eating habits + Mikoto’s cameo + plot theft from Tokimeki Memorial + Shirley in a swimsuit = Shat-tastic!
Even though they’re working together for the greater good, the alliance between Shirley and Karen falls apart when Shirley starts to suspect that Karen wants the cat to get a kiss from Lulu. Fantastic. I love cattiness in anime. I just wish there were more of it, especially in shows like Kanon where everyone is too nice to be catty yet too not nice enough to be involved in threesomes.
Heh. Maybe Lulu’s the one who is gaining the weight after all. See, the penalty for enjoying all those pan pizzas is being winded while climbing stairs while chasing a cat wearing a ridiculous mask.
They totally missed a great gag. I’m surprised that the peloton didn’t further grill Lulu about what the cat pilfered. If they did, Lulu should have whipped out his Pizza Hut points card and said, “Well, I’m only two more medium pizzas away from a free one!”
Also, was I the only one relived when it was Nanali who gave out the victory kiss? Worst case scenario had to be Suzaku winning and requesting a kiss from Lulu. I’m glad we cleared yet another Code Geass episode without definitively finding out about Lulu’s and Suzaku’s relationship, but there’s still 19 episodes to go.
(I’ll end the post here. The fat guy’s speech at the end is nowhere as entertaining as the real ruler of Britannia’s… “Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN’s aren’t able to practice their love with women all across the country.”)
Next time on AoMM’s coverage of Code Geass— so won’t the real Shady Zero please stand up?

I’m not going to say for fear of a blu.. err, deletion…
I think this is the first definitive product placement in an anime, at least that which I have seen, and does not refer to other anime series or more obscure references such as the model of a computer or camera.
I mean, Pizza Hut?! Just what are they trying to say, huh?
How far into the future is this set, because they would’ve had to have kept the same logo for a good number of years… Heh.. I just loved that ‘Don’t come out’ line…
oh, and I also love that little rip on China at the end =P
I definitely agree, it’s way too early for filler episodes. Having not watched GSD, I couldn’t compare, but um, why? It was an entertaining episode in its own right, and it is set at a high school, but this whole episode was just ridiculously out of place.
And seriously, who hired the crackpot to speak at the Prince’s funeral? That whirr is him spinning in his casket as his father’s verbal diarrhea is spewed across a third of the world. But I guess nothing makes life lively like class warfare and civil unrest (See: King, Rodney and American cities: Los Angeles: Events: 1965, 1992).
On the other hand, where’s my cat trap?
Looks like Kallen’s uniform jacket is somewhat loose on Shirley… I guess this proves that she has a bigger cup size. o_o D-cups?!
>>Looks like Kallen’s uniform jacket is somewhat loose on Shirley… I guess this proves that she has a bigger cup size. o_o D-cups?!
Hmm… nice observation. I’m not suprised if Kallen is high on the chichikurabe charts. One needs to come out for Geass soon.
>>Worst case scenario had to be Suzaku winning and requestion a kiss from Lulu.
OH GEASS NO!!
Nuts. I was hoping President Millay’s fan girl would have won the gohobi. Afterall its Sunrise it doesn’t make sense, hence anything can happen. Alas, it was not to be and we got one part sis-con and two parts blind handicapped loli kissu.
>>More importantly, what kind of terrorists hide in a huge, central anthill guarded by propelled artillery pieces? Judging by Israel’s foray into Syria and the current occupation of Iraq by Britannia, no wonder Japan got rolled over. They have no clue how to fight asymmetrical warfare.
I nearly laughed out a lung when Hezbollah entered the fray…if they watched anime they would be appalled almost being called the Shield of Israel appalled. For an alleged try at raising nationalist pride I am suprised to see the lack of olde Meiji and Early Showa tactics and the mandatory bayonet lug. C’mon show us the wonderous tactics that inspired such great Generals like Douglas Haig. Just goes to show Sunrise knows about much about fighting as they know about plot coherency. China socialist…what a joke. Japan must have blundered greatly diplomatically and technically to be rolled over in such short order, at least Poles, Czechs, Norwegians, and the FRENCH were able to escape to Britian in significant numbers. The Poles got squezed from both sides, the Norwegians made a miracle out of limited defensive skirmishes, the Czechoslovakians got royaly screwed, and the French got flanked big time, this begs the question of what Geass Japan’s excuse is.
Field Marshall Zero is exactly that ZERO, too focused on assassination. So much for making the impossible possible, at least Paulus was good at operational planning. Zero has tactical elegance to be sure, but is rather lacking in strategic thought and more over in logistical planning. This ain’t chess where everything behaves nor does war have real rules. Oh 11s Britannia is not like the US which has “news” this a Neo-Roman Empire that has the Ministry of Propaganda. Killing of civilians is pointless from the look of things the Britannian warmachine must have a nightmarishly long logistical train, high tech weapons don’t fix themselves, you still have guns with bullets, and they have an awful lot of men to feed more so given that royalty must eat better. That should be the primary goal, as they say an army moves on its stomach, but Lulu just wants to hit their faces and bite his thumb at them.
Britannia also seems to have a USSR command sturcture, heck they might as well tear out all their radios since there seems to be a lack of initiative at the small unit level. Oh Britannia for the successor state to Great Britian the intel community must have undergone one heck of purge since all code breaking, subtrefuge, spying, and sabotage know how seems to have left them. Also this every body compete crap is utterly ludicrous the resistance doesn’t even have to fight they just have to inflate the egoes of potential successors and Britannia will tear it self apart. For a military that has a very Prussian tastes they have very little Prussian military know how and sensibilty.
However this all makes sense, and since it does…
Oh how long before Karen and Shirley learn that chasing Lulu is but a vain dream. After their boxcutter fight they can join Cornelia-oneesama’s circle after her boy toys die one by one due to Lulu and Suzaku pwnage.
Nina must be a hated name, last time she had daddy-con this time she is scared shatless like some twinkled toed Klansman.
BTW your CC courtesan skit did not seem like a convincing negotiation, not single suckie suckie, me love you long time, me love you too much, or me so…oh wait AOMM is rated PG-13.
>>>>Worst case scenario had to be Suzaku winning and requestion a kiss from Lulu.
>>OH GEASS NO!!
HELL GEASS YES!!1

Do you accept debit cards?
For Lulu to lose the mask so easily makes him alot more of a humane character than Raito Yagami, and thus in my case alot more likeable.
I really wish CC would get more screentime other than sitting in the house doing nothing except making commentaries and eating pizza… she’s going to turn into a hikkimori.
Damn, I have to watch this. I just don’t want to because Lulu x Suzaku action might engage any time, and I don’t want to be there watching it.
i am smitten with C.C. and the way she dumps her clothes
I prefer Godfather’s Pizza over Pizza Hut.
I think the Hezbollah thing was just bad translation, but of course you knew that. Whatever they really said, I had no idea.
You know what this show is missing? A really annoying ‘mascot’. SEED had Haro. Mai-Otome had Mikoto the cat. What does this show have? Nothing… not even a Gubaba!
“don’t come out in a place like this…”
best line ever, seconded =)
Okay, so here’s what we know about C.C:
1. She was discovered underground.
2. She has unnatural green colorations.
3. She has ties to Asian culture in a predominantly Western world.
4. She’s a teenager.
5. She loves pizza.
Which can lead to only one conclusion: C.C. is a Ninja Turtle. I bet one of those C’s stands for “Cowabunga!”
Oh, so 25 it is eh? Wow, well they need to get snapping, because Britannia isn’t getting any close to defeat.
Fun episode, regardless.
>>(For the rest, you’ll have to subscribe to AoMM’s premium content service.)
I demand the link and instructions for this. Can’t get enough of Jason’s hilarity. And his *other* seemingly-worthy one-liners. And more C.C. skits.
Lessee, we got blushes *check*, running *check*, cheese *check*, kissing *check*… lesbianism ON BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN *check*… Now we DO need an onsen episode.
That’s if Britannia hasn’t already destroyed or at least captured all of them…
>>Which can lead to only one conclusion: C.C. is a Ninja Turtle.
Wow. Deepest analysis I have ever read. Jason must be hitting his head on the wall for not figuring this one.
too bad lelouch wasn’t close enough to the rulers to cast his hax or else this anime’s plot could have ended already and the hot spring fanservice can begin.
Karen: Jeez… I shouldn’t have chosen such a weak persona to fake!
Karen’s new catchphrase! It’s still funny when I hear it and I thought it was hilarious how right you are about Karen safeguarding her kiss more than liberating Britannia. Well you only get one first kiss right?
Hey, I happen to be pansexual, you know. Suzaku’s nowhere near that, fortunately (or unfortunately) enough.
And it’s very amusing how the Self-Proclaimed Destroyer of Britannia gets pwned by a stray cat. Anyone else think that the cat’s related to Shamisen?
I was hoping Zero would continue on his mission of destroying Britannia like an alt-universe version of Light-O. My hopes have now been forever dashed. Pwned by a stray cat?! Like that would ever happen to Light-O. This is the first harbinger of a Sunrise train wreak. I was hoping for something serious military drama but I probably shouldn’t have got my hopes up about that. It can still be fun, but having such a useless filler episode (Not even devoted to fanservice!) and making Lulu look like an idiot doesn’t bode well.
> Shirley and Karen tied up with strings
Someone needs to do a spoof of the Love Hina girls in ribbon pic using Code Geass girls.
WOO! Donno where this was taken from, but I approve!

After hearing that amazing campfire song, I think it has become mandatory for me to see this show.
Oh, by the by…
The only legend featuring the supernatural condition known as the “Geas” that I’m aware of happens to be the one where a certain demigod hero was “Geased” so that he was an invincible and berserk fighter, but he would become weak and would be killed if the “shutoff” condition of the Geas was followed out.
It had two conditions: Never refuse an invitation. Never eat the flesh of a dog. (You can see how they managed to break his Geas, thinking about it logically.)
Yeah.
His name was Cu Chulainn.
…
I *REALLY* hope that’s not C.C.’s name. I haven’t quite forgiven Nasu for making Cu Chulainn a Lancer as opposed to a Berserker.

did you know that C.C’s real name might be “Karen”?
you can see this for yourself.
just go to episode 20 in r2 and around 20:34, C.C. is being addressed as “Karen” by Anya (who is being possessed by Marianne at the time).
it is not translated in the subtitles but you can hear it.
