⑨ Moments of Anime #3: Code Geass R2 ep 21


The day the world went “WTF!?!?”

Code Geass has been a lot of things. From brilliant to disappointing, shocking in a “I didn’t see that coming” sort of way to shocking in a “…….screw you, Sunrise” sort of way, it proved to be easily the most eagerly anticipated show this year, and it kept the community at the edge of its seat for the entirety of the conclusion. With DarkMirage and Jason Miao’s weekly satirical posts, the hundreds – even escalating up to a thousand – comments on RC, the creation of gg’s Code Trainwreck, and last but not least, Michael’s posts on the matter, Geass got people talking, for better or worse. In fact, when you add up the IRC channels, AnimeSuki forums, and probably a million other bloggers that I neglected to mention, the situation actually escalated much further than I’m giving it credit for. But either way, it was a moment in the community’s history that will be remembered forever, whether you liked the show or not, and I believe that episode 21 represents this trainwreck of a classic we call Code Geass; it was the episode in which almost two seasons worth of development got flipped upside down. And then rolled up by a Katamari and tossed into a different dimension. I’m not sure how the show ever managed to make it out alive (frankly, I’m not even sure if people still respect it), but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

And as taken from the About page at CT,

A trainwreck is where something is so fascinating that you can’t help but stare.

And stare I did, right up to the final second.

Episodic

Code Geass R2 – 25 [END]

We’ve sure come a long way since the beginning, haven’t we? Through the American history, through the Death Note-esque foreshadowing, and through the complexity surrounding the power of Geass – at the end of it all, the conclusion awaits. Was it good? Bad? Did it even make sense? At the moment, mixed opinions are likely circling the internets, but there’s one thing I know for sure by now: this show isn’t bad. In fact, it’s probably quite good.

Commentary

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.
