Code Geass R2 – A brief retrospect

I believe it’s safe to say that every anime fan has their own taste in anime; from the GAR of Gurren Lagann to the moé of Kanon to the romance of Special A, everyone finds a few shows from each given season based on their genres or their staff, and follows them in the hope that they won’t disappoint. I, of course, am like this as well, what with my seemingly unnatural tendency to gravitate toward anything connected in some way to visual novels – or, admittedly, anything involving effeminate romance and drama. However, I think we can all agree on one thing: there’s one show that’s been airing since spring that everyone somehow wound up watching, and for good reason, at that. I’m well aware that few (if any) of my readers would be interested in a detailed account of the history of the series and the various twists and turns that lead us to this point, but there’s one thing I CAN do, and that’s give my own opinion on this WTF-fest we call Code Geass.

Miscellaneous

Hello world~!

 
Ah…Septemer 1st. A fitting day for new beginnings, is it not? The crisp fall air, the paling blue sky (neither of which match with the above picture), the humble first post of an ambitious anime fan’s new blog…
…as well as the fact that this self-proclaimed “ambitious anime fan” is returning to school tomorrow. A perfect time to begin a time consuming hobby like blogging, isn’t it?

That aside, I figured this would be as good a day as any to initiate my first ever anime blog, and what better way to do it than with a short melodramatic opening and a picture of Shiori?

…Well, there are probably a lot of better ways to do it, but this one works too. Either way, I’m not quite sure how well this whole blogging thing is going to work (what with my getting things started precisely at the end of summer), nor can I give you any hints on what to expect (as I have yet to figure that out myself), but I hope you enjoy your stay nonetheless. If you want to know anything more about me, check out the About page; otherwise, just keep lurking until I get around to writing a REAL post.


Wouldn’t this be nice?

P.S. I’m a Key fan, even though I can’t read Japanese. I’m also a Shiori fan.

P.S.S. In an effort to come up with some sort of signature to conclude my posts with (yes, something more unique than “-ETERNAL”), I decided on using a certain little series of hiragana that we should all be familiar with. Though I’m aware that this is completely out of context, just think of it as a guaruntee on my part that this won’t be that last you’ll hear from me.

…Though I can’t promise that I won’t mysteriously disappear for a little while if Kanon or ef – a tale of memories ever get translated.
