This was the worst episode of anime I’ve seen all year. No joke.
I’m glad Shirley is dead. She was a waste of space.
Though, I’m not really sure why anyone among the anime blog population cares. Geass R2 jumped the shark back in episode 4. All Geass has left is Mai Otome-style Sunrise trainwreck value. And it doesn’t even do that competently.
It’s pathetic, considering that the first season was an entertaining ride with decent writing. R2’s hilariously terrible attempts at drama and “twists” are borderline painful to laugh at.
Everyone knows that Code Geass is trash, but for Sunrise to make an such an obvious and gross error is purely moronic laziness. There is no excuse for this. Not even if the next episode has a character talking about the (fake) rules of Fascist British Chess to justify this massive inaccuracy.
Even worse is that it breaks the characters of Lelouch and Schneizel. My impression of them as lasting figures will never recover now. I think I’ll sue Sunrise for damages. Isn’t Lelouch supposed to be some hardcore chessmaster and Schneizel an intelligent nobleman? I’m disappointed that Lelouch didn’t yell out “Objection!” as soon as Schneizel made that move. Preferably while drawing a gun because nobody makes an illegal move in chess and lives. Not in our great country of America Japan.
I don’t care that the scene was attempting to contrast Schneizel and Lelouch’s personalities and philosophy. I don’t care that Sunrise was trying to be all cute on us. I don’t care that this is anime and I’m complaining about a “minor” error. Yes, I’m aware that Goro Taniguchi loves being wacky and I commend him for it most of the time, yet there’s a difference between crazy and insultingly wrong.
If I cared enough about Code Geass, I’d say Sunrise should fix this up for DVD. Given that watching Code Geass R2 on DVD is just above playing Russian Roulette with a P90 on the priority list, I’d rather challenge Goro Taniguchi to a chess match with correct American rules. I’ll annihilate him in one turn with the sheer force of my awesomeness. No king movements needed.
My bet’s on the dog. He has to be a British mole bent on Japan’s utter annihilation.
An armpit miko has been spotted. Sights set on delicious flat chest. Am I a bad enough blogger to Touhou hijack everything?
Why yes, I am. Now we all need is the obligatory meta parody Flash.
On a “primetime” TV slot, no less. Har.
Well, it seems that Nina’s been doing more than harnessing nuclear energy, if know what you mean. Still, her new hairstyle is the most epic part of an already hilariously epic Geass R2 episode.
She seems slightly too worked up over her man Zero right there.
