With this entire episode devoted to Lelouch seeing through the shortcomings of his own plans as Zero, I would say it’s a welcome change to the usual action and thrill, littered with plot twists. While Lelouch’s character doesn’t really require much development anymore, this episode goes to show that he is indeed very human, and reminds us all of the reasons behind his plight—that is, Nunally. It’s no surprise that he has agreed to her offer to create the Special Administration Region of Japan, but we all have to think, will any good come from this? There’s still about two thirds of the series to go…

It was a little disappointing seeing the tactic that Lelouch uses to escape Suzaku’s trap, as well as seeing the unbelievably sudden uber power up that the Guren receives. However, the overall quality of the episode more than makes up for minor things likes that. I like how Karen has been considered on par with those belonging to the Knight of Rounds (I’m not sure if that’s what it’s called), which basically means Zero does actually look like he stands a chance. The there’s Rolo, who I’m sure will make an excellent asset to the frontline with his Geass powers. But still, these things alone makes it hard to believe that Zero is actually going to accomplish his mission.

I’m alive! Barely. Well I’m not going to try and explain myself, since it’s just pure laziness and lack of time…so I’ll get straight back into it. Well this is certainly a fun episode. The writers integrated some solid story progression in a nicely executed school-focused episode—which, to my delight, remains in high quality. There’s also a large amount of fanservice, which isn’t bad as it’s quite rare that Geass contains fanservice. If they were to include it in each episode…that would probably become rather off-putting and annoying, but for a happy-go-lucky-like episode this time, it’s perfectly fine in my opinion.

The problem with all these seemingly ingenious plans that Lelouch comes up with…is that they require a lot of luck and conveniently placed surroundings. Of course, I’m not complaining. I’m actually high pleased with this episode, as it really gets you into the mood of things with the suspense and excitement. I really like how Lelouch has basically completely converted Rolo to his side. There’s also Viletta, who still shows signs of weakness for Ougi (I think I got the names right…) This, with all the new characters and complications to the plot that are arising, I can foresee nothing but awesomeness to come.

Wow. I haven’t posted Macross F ep 3 yet, but I HAVE seen it, and I can definitely say Code Geass is in the lead again. This episode gives a nice change to the constant mecha fighting we’ve seen in the first season, as we follow Lelouch in his plans to thwart Rolo and the opposition forces. It was highly entertaining and interesting watching such a personalisation of Lelouch, as we see him interact with other people a lot more than usual. Thus, I certainly like the direction this new season is taking. Now we’ll have to see how Lelouch gets out of this situation, though I think it’s made obvious that the explosion will save the day…

Impressions:

With a tremendous start to the second season, this second episode follows up with fitting pace and brings back the same sense of Geass awesomeness that the first season has. Zero is back, and his asskicking abilities have returned with him. Already, new twists are occurring, such as Rolo and his hit-list, which unsurprisingly has Zero on it, as well as the Emperor having a Geass himself. Then there are the new group of likely antagonists, the whatchamacallit Knights that Suzaku has joined. Seriously, I still find him quite annoying, but I guess they need a primary antagonistic prick somewhere at any given time. xD
