Code geass 25 - but mainly WOAH!

ok, nice job sunrise you ended the show with a bang and more plot twisting (mind you, the plot probably snapped a while ago from being twisted so much) never the less...
good, good

Final Episode:
Re;

starting off, impressive episode. It really brought things to a close (and lets keep it this way, seriously, none of your bullshit about characters living)
I wasn't to fond of the name, considering it has little to do with the episode, nor with the characters, nor with the show... so Im not entirely sure what that's all about...
I would have done it while it was fresh in my mind last night, but I was tired and it took me a surprisingly long time (waited for 2 wrong torrents to download) ...that's always good on my bandwidth (not to mention kanon a while ago >_>)
so we begin right where the previous episode started, Nunally is showing off her eyes and Lelouch is shitting himself.
Being very climactic, it cuts around and shows what the other characters are doing, similar to an epilogue... I think death note could have taken a hint from this show's ending, seeing as its ending was sudden and felt forced (yeah thats right... DEATH NOTE taking a lesson on plot from CODE fsking GEASS).
The most important part, however, is the battle between suzaku and kallen. the showdown of fanboys vs fangirls. How will code geass end? will it be a fanboy ending (kallen x lelouch) or a fangirl ending? (suzaku x lelouch). Be you fanboy or fangirl however, it was a rather impressive fight scene in which you can see that they had budget left (I would have been SO pissed if they ran out of money and ended it with an evangelion style slide show)

nuu you cant ever kill me!

Also, as I just placed a screen shot of above, Jeremiah ... is he like ... unkillable for some reason? his knightmare exploded, but it was still there, then HE explodes it to damage anya, shield, then he goes eureka 7 style onto the mech and cuts it with his arm sword thing.
ANYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaactually I dont really care about Anya

So lelouch ended up geassing nunnaly and took the key from her. Wow... what a douche. And nunnaly says so as well. As lelouch walks away, nunnaly chases him and falls on the stairs, of course lelouch being the douche he is, DOESNT help his crippled sister getting up after she falls on some stairs out of her wheelchair (also, how did nunnaly get up those stairs in the first place... yeah, think about that for a bit)
aaaaaaaand the decicive battle is finally won by lelouch's side. the black knights fail and lelouch enslaves the world and everyone hates him.

I would have been pissed if they ended it like that. And considering my bad sense of time, I thought they had.

And then he got all of his slaves to
build the much sought after "giant chess piece"

It does another timeskip (so you KNOW something more will happen) and shows suzaku's grave. Notice that it said on his grave knight of THE zero as opposed to "knight of zero" ... I wonder if lelouch gave him the title THE just before he died. Or maybe it was just an error on behalf of the translators/animators. We also have Aurthur, the cat at suzaku's grave. So has he been there for 2 months? wow what a faithful cat.
It would appear as if all of the scientists have been imprisoned by lelouch (including the ones that gave him SUPER invaluable help for some reason) and we ALMOST find out about Lloyd's past by no one cares about that, so they decide to not go into much depth. Back to Lelouch's parade. As it turns out, Lelouch was "the good guy" all along, and just planned to kill most of his family and take over the world so suzaku would be able to kill him and "end this chain of hatred" ... personally that sounds almost like a cop-out ending to me, but who can blame them. Any idea that I had was a lot worse (even 4chan couldnt thing up anything)
So all acording to lelouch's plan, suzaku runs up dressed as a fake zero and after much build up, stabs lelouch.
...
GASP...
actually that one was seriously, I expected it to NOT end like that 0.o

actually, I have no witty comment for this
I was fucking SHOCKED
(edit - I now have a witty comment,
but due to being to socked I wont share it)

and lastly, lelouch dies happy, knowing that nunnaly loves him.
Afterwords, we get a true epilogue, complete with a soft, slow, j-pop ballad. It seems to have gone the way of evangelion and turned a mech into a school drama afterward when it follows kallen around.
We also see Anya and Jeremiah picking oranges .... heh heh... orange ... ^^

and lastly we have CC sitting in the back of an old timey horse hay carriage wearing peasants cloths (maybe she went through a time warp?) talking to dead lelouch...
or I hope he's dead
...
though that guy driving the cart looks awfully suspicious
...
NO!
DAMN YOU SUNRISE I THOUGHT I SAID NO MORE BULLSHIT!

oh well, at least that might mean an ova or something

code geass r2 ep 24, or, TAKE THAT SHNEIZEL

So, as I mentioned before, Il do a blog on code geass episode 24... along with another 600 other people...

As I also mentioned before, that's not important. Anyway the episode

Turn 24: Damocles' Skies

this was actually one of the better episodes Ive seen in a while, which is a good thing. It should be seeing as it was the second last. It still seems to be keeping with this whole "one plot twist an episode" kinda feel, which is both good and bad, because it both keeps the viewer guessing (well... Ive actually given up on that at this point) but on the flipside it doesnt really provide a stable plot... I feel sorry for someone having to do a plot summery on wikipedia
"and then kallen falls in love with lelouch, and then kallen betreys lelouch, and then kallen falls in love with lelouch again, and then kallen distrusts lelouch, and then kallen falls in love with lelouch, and then kallen trys to kill lelouch" (gez talk about a love hate relationship ... BA DUM CHISH)
So we begin with Nunnaly having some regrets with launching FLEIA, one would think that this would come in later on in the episode, but I geuss that comes later or somthing... or they will just forget about it.
There's some cool battle scenes and somthing about Xin-ku being pissed at Shneizel, more cool battleing, and then suzaku seems to defeat Todou in about 4 or 5 seconds after chatting a bit with him. Isnt it weird that When Suzaku really needs to, he can just kinda take out ANYTHING with seemingly no effort? After defeating Todou, he also glides through Tamaki, though I doubt either of them are actually dead.

"No fair! I wasnt finished talking!"

After telling everyone "thanks but no thanks, screw off I dont need you" Lelouch goes and talks to Nina, who has obviously came up with the exact strategy they need. The strategy in itself is quite ridiculas, but we'll get to that later.
So one of the reasosn you KNOW that its the end (besides the episode number) was the fact that Lelouch refers to CC as the witch, indicating that all the "culzness" that he lost in season one has now officially returned, which results in CC finally showing a bit more character development in terms of her relationship with Lelouch

better late then never

we WOULD have had a nice romantic scene going here, but Kallen, was pissed that CC was stealin her man decided to come in and lay down some ass whooping on them.
So now comes to Cecil and Nina's badass plan, which must be prepared 19 seconds beforehand and has a window of 0.04 seconds to compleate ... what arbitrary numbers eh? never minding the dificulty.
being the smart, smart dude that lelouch is, he stakes all his hope on that insanely-hard-to-do plan, as opposed to this smart plan that I just thought up in about 5 seconds: shoot FLEIA just as its coming out and not need to go inside of it or anything.
So Damocles gets rocked... literally (cheesy puns FTW) and nunnaly falls on the ground grasping around for that specter thing.

My key, my key, I cant launch FLEIAs without my key

So here we go, Lelouch's most far fetched idea yet, he uses a pre-recorded video (obviously knowing exactly what Shneizel is going to say) which responds appropriately to every thing Shneizel says as well as giving him just the right amount of time to talk to him.
Did anyone else find that a BIT over the top? I mean, what do you think would have happen if Sheneizel were to NOT say what Lelouch expected him to? never mind that, what if he WORDED it just a bit different, wouldnt Lelouches plan go to compleate shit?
so the hostages are safe to eh? thats nice, as well as--







WHAT?










ummm... who?





... where?



Is it just me or does Corneillia die more times then Ichicgo or somthing?
she could probably take a beating equal to the ones Keitaro gets and still live!
and what annoy's me is that she isnt even that great of a character either, she has no real significance any more as it seems so just let her DIE!

so Lelouch's plan obviously works, and he catches Shneizel off gaurd and then proceeds to geass him (uh oh! watch out, I smell some problem coming related to that!). After that, Diethard freaks out at and pulls out his gun (dono where he got THAT from) aiming it at Lelouch, only to be shot by Shneizel. I never really liked Diethard that much... he did too much Septaple crossing...
personally I never saw why he had to freak out like that anyway, shouldnt he be happy cause he wanted to get Lelouch's story? anyway point being, no being in the epilouge for him

"seriously man! don't FUCK with me! Im crazy!
Il poppa cap in ALL yo asses!"

Gino finally screws off, after getting too much screen time in a battle with Suzaku and were left with an immense cliff hanger for the final episode ... with the epic episode name of ...

RE ;

OMG!!!!!!!!!
(the semicolen is what makes it epic)


episode 25 preview

Lots of flashbacks,
damn, if they have to tie up all the loose ends AND put in those flashbacks, its gonna be like 8 hours long


so what are my thoughts on this episode? I liked it, it had a decent battle, without resulting to the same things that the other battle episodes did:
Lelouch: behold my army!
Shneizel: behold my better army!
Lelouch: behold my strategy!
Shneizel: behold my better army!
Lelouch: shit... Suzaku?
Shneizel: behold my Kallen!
Kallen: hey remember when I was batshit insane, but they decided to drop that for no reason?
Suzaku: lolwut?
anyway, you get the picture
