watashi no doriru wa, ten o tsukuru doriru des!!!!

anyone else getting TTGL vibes from this scene?

sigh, i dunno. i'm just getting the feeling i'm not enjoying r2 as much as r1.

here's why - the intensity is missing.

i'm r1 its zero vs suzaku for most of the part, with a little of zero vs cornellia, and zero vs mao.

in z vs s, the emnity is so thick that you can slice it with a knife. these 2 people hate each other. they despises each other. and the irony is that they are best friends. we know it, they dont. and that set up for the epicness when it is finally revealed. i can identify with zero's maniacal laugh then, as well as when he was forced to kill euphie. this is what gundam seed should have been.

same with z vs c. where you see z as a cold hearted general who's not above using any tactics at all. be it land sliding with huge collateral damage or sacrificing a general. he's one minded, selfish in wanting to win at all cost.

in z vs m, you see the hopelessness in the fight, where he is destined to lose without outside help.

in all 3 main rivalries the feelings are thick, no quarters are given, wrong decisions/unexpected happenings? you bulldoze through them.

compare that with r2 up till now, you have minor skirmishes after minor skirmishes. no lasting enemies were faught. battles are routine and expected, and never grand. you have build ups that linger in the backgound as annoyances rather that letting them build up front and center. i hope after all this dilly dally v2 and orange better be epic opponents to zero.

well, so much for that happening, they sped past v2 in half an episode. where is the tension? where is the struggle? its like watching GSD battles. for a supposed behind the scene evil, v2 sure got b*tchslapped quickly....

plus points though for shirley, lulu, rollo, suzaku and kallen drama. here's hoping for another suzaku/lulu showdown as per R1 ending. make them kill each other as the world's ending. teh epic, lulz

OMG! I'm just going to hug by R1 and cry in the corner. why bandai, what have you done to code geass?

there is a thin line genius and insanity, and its 10 miles behind you.

still going to finish the series, but geass r2 is 10x worse than what destiny did to seed. i'm just going to pretend the both of them never existed. geass can end at the clifthanger at end of R1 and be all the better.

curse bandai and their greed.
