Impressions:

With these last two episodes, I can no longer say that I’ll be looking forward to the second season of Shana more than the second season of Code Geass, both of which are scheduled for next season (I hope this is right). These last two episodes are insanely captivating—I sat watching with full concentration the entire way, due to the lightning pace, action, plot twists and everything else. The appearances of some annoying characters such as Nina and Suzaku didn’t end up on my nerves; instead, I felt grateful for their appearances due to the excellent entertainment that they provide. Of course, CC’s appearances (and kiss) is a wonder in its own, since she’s my fave character.

Fuck yeah, this is what I call REAL entertainment. Ok, maybe I’ve said that before, but it’s an extremely good thing that my favourite Code Geass episode is the most recent one. It wouldn’t look too good if my favourite was episode 1 and somehow the rest of the show fell down a drain and disappeared. This episode was a real surprise, and in different ways to those you might think of. I’m also really sad, pissed, excited and glad that the final two episodes will air in summer (in 3 months?) Sad because I will miss the show; I’m pissed because I have to wait so long; excited because the cliff-hanger ending is just so good; and glad because there IS another two episodes to go.

Rating: 9.7/10 WTFness: 10/10

Impressions:

This episode is just a big OMFG episode that does not cease to depress, frustrate and bewilder me. I can not believe what the hell just happened, and although from an objective point of view, the plot twist is very well orientated, I highly disapprove of the events that occur in this episode. They are just unacceptably horrid. I have grown to liking the idea of Eupphie and Lelouch working together so much in the past few episodes, that due to this sudden earthquake in Geass’s plotline, I have no idea what to think. I believe it would be best to hold back any conscious thought for now until the end of the series in a few episodes time…

I think this is my favourite episode of Code Geass, and it turns out to be a relational development episode with some plot advancement, instead of one filled and wrapped with action. It was really fun watching everyone run into each other and start panicking, though unfortunately no one discovered the identity of anyone else, which was a shame. Eupphie did get in touch with Nanaly though, and that would have been nice if Eupphie didn’t end up proposing such a stupid plan at the end…Well, it’s stupid due to my personal feelings, as I really liked the idea of Suzaku, Eupphie and the Order joining forces to wipe out Britannia…though that will most likely never happen.

Impressions:

Well that was a disappointing episode, mainly because the ‘confession’ Euphemmia made to Suzaku made me look around the room to make sure no one was watching me watch such an embarrassing and badly scripted love situation. It was a total misfit, and surely made a lot of people go WTF; inserting such a corny conversation when Suzaku is cornered and about to die…what were the script-writers thinking?! And somehow, Suzaku and Lelouch managed to form a temporary truce, shortly after Lelouch discovered the pilot of the Lancelot and resolved to kill him…At least when Suzaku is working with Lelouch I don’t hate him as much…

Impressions:

Code Geass remains as entertaining as ever, regardless of whether it’s filled with intellectually thought out and sinister schemes, coupled with highly intense mecha battles, or whether it’s just twenty minutes of comedy and character development. This episode of course is the latter, though it does feature some new mysteries and plot advancement as well, such as another appearance of that girl who seems to be related to C.C.’s ‘kind’ of sorts, as well as Lelouch and Karen’s eventual escape off that island (or wherever they ended up stranded on). Also, Suzaku’s been arrested for the crime he has unknowingly committed, due to Zero’s geass command.

Now this is what I call entertainment. Forgetting the rest of the show, the cliff-hanger at the end is executed extremely well, and now I’m dying to see the next episode. The last few minutes had so much action that when it suddenly turns black, anticipation skyrockets when you realise it’s the end of the episode. A lot of fun tidbits and plot points are introduced as well, including the devotion Karen has for Lelouch, the appearance of a new member of the royal family, and more close confrontation between the three people who know each other oh so well…yet not really (Karen, Lelouch and Suzaku of course).

A pretty mediocre episode if you ask me, except for a few things I have been waiting to happen which brought the overall enjoyment up. The identity of the pilot of the Lancelot is finally revealed, meaning Karen and Lelouch will both act very differently the next time they meet Suzaku (that’s a meeting I am highly looking forward to). The other well-anticipated event is Eupphie naming Suzaku as her knight, which effectively brings him completely to the other side of Lelouch. Looks like the friendship is over (though Lelouch will have a facade on the outside). Shirley also seems to be getting her lost memories back somewhat…seems like things are getting interesting!
