Code Geass: The Search for More Money

>>150265549
Lelouch didnt die in the original ending faggot

>>150265549
Sadly this is how I feel about it after the initial euphoria disappeared.

Well duh, any actual fans are mad about this.

It had a perfectly fine ending and didn't need a sequel.

The only people spamming threads are newfag shitposters that only know about CG from "le epic meme screenshots" and are trying and failing to recreate that feeling.

It's probably going to be pretty shit and will do nothing but retroactively ruin your appreciation of the series as a whole.

>>150265596
Same.

The ending was the only good thing about R2 and it's about to be negated. Congratulations faggots.

>>150265549
Did you really think that someone with Lelouch's luck was going to be able to pull off a plan at that scale and have peace stick forever? That nobody, nowhere would take advantage of the power vacuum?

>>150265795
Thinking too hard about anything involving Code Geass is bad news.

It was a satisfying end and it felt good, all that matters.

>>150265549
Code Geass is already a trainwreck; what's wrong with a Super?

Shut up autistic manchild

Someone refresh my mind: so how the fuck was Lelouche able to steal the emperor's geass?

All I care about is shitposting

>>150265549
There are tons of people having mixed feeling. CG have one of the best ending in anime.
Fans are happy to see lelouch again, at the same time a new season is extremely likely to worsen the whole series.

>>150266152
He didn't steal the emperor's geass

>>150266152

He had a full powered geass and killed the bearer of a code.

>>150266027

Best ending.

>>150265821
>Thinking too hard = I loved the ending and I will accept nothing else!
Let's not lie to ourselves anon.

I know exactly what you mean OP. I think I'm going to just go on believing the series ended with R2. And take everything after that with a grain of salt and just enjoy the ride.

Even if it turns out Lelouche is alive and goes on some shenanigans again, it will never really happen, for me at least.

>>150265549
Actually, even if people were not wishing for more Geass Sunrise would still make a sequel, why? Because money, so you should be angry at Sunrise not the people.

>>150266199
wrong

>>150266132
>>150266110
>>150266025
You're missing the mark.

I'm not calling Code Geass a masterpiece, or hell, even a good story. But it was an original story where nobody knew what was going to happen next

A continuation devalues that. We know what's gonna happen. Lelouch will pull off keikakus which hurt him and those around him. Suzaku and Kallen will get their mech moments. Tamaki acts like a retard.

But this isn't those characters. This is the "AS SEEN ON TV" version of these characters.

You will be able to hear the studio audience applause when Lelouch puts the Zero Mask back on. Perhaps we'll get a special TRIPLE geass - three times as strong as the regular geass!

It's a farce.

>>150265549
I for one thought he was alive the entire time, so it ruins absolutely nothing for me.

>>150265549
not canon LOL

>>150265821
>It all felt good
I'm sure that was what was driving Roman policies when they thought their Empire was greater than human nature and we all know the disaster that followed. Do you really think that Nunnaly and Suzaku would be effective in running the world? So long as there are differences between peoples their biological reactions will give way to conflict.
R3 will hopefully be where Lelouch decides to grow up and take responsibility for the chaos he created. I personally want to see a character development of Lelouch turning into a more involved version of his father. If Nunally is alive in it I honestly don't see her surviving.

Imagine if a beloved series like Mobile Suit Gundam got a sequel years later where nothing had changed and everything was fucked, requiring the hero and his friends to-

Oh wait.

>>150265549
On one hand I really loved the ending to R2 and think it should've bee respected, if not left ambiguous.

On the other, Code Geass was always a fucking mess and the ending was one of the few great things about it. "A fucking mess" = "Code Geass", so basically so long as it has the same people on it S3 will probably be delightfully stupid.

What do we do if he unambiguously dies in R3?

>>150266577
But even that nebulous "This is fucking stupid" quality is lost with an R3

There's absolutely no illusion of anything mattering

>>150266610
See that's the thing, if he DOES unambigiously die there was NO POINT!

The death is cheapened!

And even the ambiguity itself was a precious quality that was lost.

>>150266664
>But even that nebulous "This is fucking stupid" quality is lost with an R3
>
>There's absolutely no illusion of anything mattering
Hey, I'm not excited about it for sure, just saying.

People cheering for this are probably fucking stupid.

>>150266273
ah yes if only someone could have predict

"Lelouch act like a supervillain throughout the series then commits a flashy heroic sacrifice near the end to dissolve any lingering moral ambiguity and reveal the giant wank that a series about a superpowered secret genius prince inevitably has to be"

as soon as he gave edgy speech before shooting Clovis

such would have truly been clairvoyance

Britania obviously colapsed after Rerushu left, meaning that the closure was of his character and Karren monologue was about hoping for a better future. That said, the future was always obviously shit. So a continuation ruins nothing.

I've been calling for a sequel since R2 ended. Lulu is dead fags btfo
And if you think this is for the money and therefore bad, R2 was already for the money and therefore bad.

Every bit of actual hard evidence pointed to Lelouch being dead at the end of R2. In fact it's possible he's STILL dead at the end of R2 and gets revived later on.

As a much better anime once said:

this is the first time in my life when I'm certain that a cash-in sequel is the best possible thing for a finished story

the ending was by far the worst part of CG, it completely destroyed everything that had been established about Lelouch by inventing some watchmen-tier 'give everyone something to hate' virtue signalling by Lelouch the faggot

a real hero survives, sits on the throne, and restores the world to glory, and now maybe Lelouch will do his job properly

>>150268150

>>150268472
How bout no, faggot? Reboots are a literal fucking cancer, and I'm confident that this will be no different.

Two weeks ago the fans of Dragon Ball Super acted with outrage when the plot was solved by Goku pressing a literal button. But it shouldn't have been a surprise.

Dragon Ball has its time. A continuation of any sort was begging for trouble.

Same with this.

>>150265549

Dude, you need to relax. It's been 10 years. If you can't stomach the idea of a third season with the same protagonist that somehow managed to survive, then don't bother watching it. For you it ended at Zero Requiem, for everyone else the trainwreck continues. Simple as that.

Besides, Lelouch brought peace to many places of the world with his sacrifice and breaking the chain of hatred, but who's to say that it's a lasting peace? Who's to say that it's worldwide? Perhaps he was simply overly idealistic and naive to believe that humanity could change course and avoid war. The ending shows us only a glimpse of the immediate future after his "death", not what happens after x years / decades.

I have hope that the next season is going to be great and that I'm going to love it as much as I love the first two. But if it turns out to be a disappointment, then okay, it's a shame and all that, but I don't really care that much. I'll take my own advice and disregard S3 altogether if that scenario comes to pass. Otherwise, I really want to see Lelouch's smug face again, the others' reactions to his return, the reason behind it all, and so on...

It's not a reboot, it's a sequel.

>R3 starts

>Lelouch is the ghost he receives his orders from
The bait&switch would make some people implode.

Why do you people even care? Code Geass was always shit, it just was memeful.

>>150265930
Super was pretty good until the end of the current arc. More Code Geass could be pretty good.

>>150266273
Now you're just being petty.

We don't really know that, because the premise of the new Code Geass could be different enough to make that extrapolation irrelevant.

Unlike you though, I'd say the story did have enough good to it. But there were problems with R2 and a new production made under different conditions could compensate or overcome them.

Nothing is stopping you from just sticking with the end of R2 and not watching this if you're really that afraid.

I always felt like Lelouch suddenly becoming a matyr was so fucking out of character I couldn't believe it. This is a guy who is incredibly selfish and barely cares about anyone outside of his sister and originally started the whole war purely for revenge. That ending just felt contrived as fuck like the writers didn't want the MC to go out looking like a bad guy.

>>150266577
Code Geass has always been crazy, but there was a method to the madness. It was a mess that knew how to present itself and how to end.

Now, that ending might be altered through various ways, but you can still keep the R2 ending and not watching anything else, if that's what you want.

>>150268980
Thank you, finally someone gets it. This is why him being immortal makes sense, he can do the whole matyr thing and still be a selfish cunt. No to mention that CC's whole arc amounts to nothing if LL does not stay with her.


Also can we at least wait for it to be out before calling it shit? It will probably be shit but for now can I just be happy and cautiously optimistic?

>>150266664
>>150266690
I think you're really the narrow-minded as fuck ones here by refusing to even contemplate any other possibilities.

There have always been Codes of immortality in the world of Code Geass and the show has never made it impossible for Lelouch to gain one and survive, even against his will.

Evidently, adding another chapter to the story might annoy those who felt it had ended. But the new chapter could be better, or at least different enough, to justify its existence. Don't be so quick to assume the worst with a closed mindset.

All shows are made for money. That wasn't unusual nor uncommon with R2 or anything else.

If anything, I'd say the fact they had a good ending before doesn't mean they won't be able to have a good one again. They could also have a better run even if the ending isn't as great.

>>150267958
>R2 was a bad anime with a good ending. This will be a terrible anime with a terrible ending

Based on absolutely nothing beyond your pessimism.

>>150269096
>I think you're really the narrow-minded as fuck ones here by refusing to even contemplate any other possibilities.

I've heard this line with Dragonball Super, with the new Yu-Gi-Oh Movie, with Star Wars Episode 7, with fucking Slayers

Rebooting old franchises doesn't work unless you go in a radically different direction.

The best you get is a tepid mess. The "improvements" tend to be meaningless, like "WHAT IF WE HAD A PLANET SIZED DEATH STAR"

>>150268109
Why the hell should that be impossible in anime? This is not real life and having a show be more or less realistic doesn't make it better. It's just different.

And yet the number of people who care about this, Jojo or Dragon Ball, other shows with similar devices is high enough to make that logic irrelevant too.

>>150269133
Because that's childish logic on your part. All anime is made with merch in mind. All of it.

>>150269141

Hello Pedro

>>150269323
Great post.

>>150269214
Dragonball Super had both hits and misses. It's not uniformly bad nor uniformly perfect.

Star Wars episode 7 was good enough, at least outside of meta/political reasons.

The new Death Star itself didn't matter, either way, but they have set up some good starting points for the new cast. The point also was that the villain was cheaply trying to copy Darth Vader and he is already paying a price for that.

Again, it's impossible to determine what is the direction here, so right now you're just speculating. The other Star Wars films could be better or worse, but we don't know.

The geass ending was good because it concluded the themes and lelouch's character development superbly and a sequel is going to ruin those things. Why are you nitpicking geass's logistics and complaining about its geopolitics now when season 1 was pretty lacking in them a good amount of the time and R2 was practically void of them? If geass is consistent in this aspect, so should your criticisms of it. It makes absolutely no fucking sense to care about the logistics regarding the ending yet nothing else from the show.

I don't really mind that bad, but I think that for series it would be better if we had something like "restart" for the whole story. Reset everything to the starting point and let the events to unfold in different way, give some new character to original story or put the old ones in other places etc.

But isn't asspulling a whole season out of a perfectly good ending just to have another wild ride the most Code Geass thing possible?

who cares, I only watch Geass for the KMF

Feel sorry for all the people who genuinely believe he was dead. So now your theory has been crushed you all resort to shitting up the CG threads and trying to say R3 is shit when you've not even seen anything of it yet.

>Star Wars episode 7

The new Star Wars is awful for the same reason the new CG will be awful. The story is complete, there is nothing left to tell. To add to the story devalues the original.

Luke didn't really save the day and defeat the sith because guess what their are more.

Lulu didn't really save the world by defeating his immortal emperor father. guess what their is more and lulu is also immortal

Its fucking stupid. his "death" was tragic, that is what made the series work. Otherwise he a vengeful immortal like his dad, he gets no catharsis

>>150275656
>taking responsibility would have been to rule well and for a long time.

but that was not his story, it makes no sense. lulu journey was him seeking revenge and in the processing bringing peace to the world.

his death is the point at which this happens and he is transformed. he is no longer a person looking for revenge. his death not only saves the world but it saves him from becoming his father. the tyrant who never dies.

what happens to the world after is not important, and if you want to tell that story it should not involve lelouch

>>150275869

In real life, no. It happens all the time in art. Death as transformation, redemption, etc are pretty common themes.

If his whole plan didn't hedge on him being dead, I would agree with you. When the writers set up the death of his character as a major plot point, their intent is clear.

>He is not in danger of becoming his father

Any immortal person surround by mayfly people would become exactly that, they start to view people as beneath him.

This. Code geass only redeeming quality was how nonsensical the characters were acting, and how dumb the plot was. It's the turkish star wars of anime.

Since he killed his father, shouldn't he have gotten his code and thus immortality?

>>150276582

Death is just a literary device, they don't have time to spend 5 seasons to show how he fixes the world

It does not matter if the plan was stupid, it works within the context of the story.

They show it in the story. Both Charles and CC care very little for people and use them to their own ends. We have no reason to assume he would end up different.

As the audience you should want to see Lelouch dead, otherwise he will suffer just like every other immortal in the series

so? its not like all works end on death of the main character. the voice over of "and he used X method to set out on the path of redemption" would take no more time than what we got. also horrible example but Valvrave did not end with everyone dying.
>it works within the context of the story.
no it was sappy and disappointing. lulu set out because he wanted results but ultimately lost the spirit and gambled on a hope. basically unlike Reinhard who made to his goal and only made provisions just in case/because he could no longer physically go on, lulu bailed. Despite all he observed he felt that a one time purge would be the clean slate the world needed and everything would go well under his sister

Because Lelouch's whole characterization is about being overly dramatic. Of course he would try to make his return be a stunning "resurrection"

C.C. has literally stated numerous times that immortality is a fate worse than death. In a show of immortality, death is NOT meaningful as it is to us.

>>150277176
> its not like all works end on death of the main character.
No but it is a huge part of tragedy, which more often then not end on the death of the protagonist. keeping him alive doing political shit removes the tragic elements of the story.
>no it was sappy and disappointing.
and, that does not stop it from sufficiently closing the story of his life.
> Despite all he observed he felt that a one time purge would be the clean slate the world needed and everything would go well under his sister
It does not matter what really happens to the world after, his story was revenge and bringing about peace. That is what he did

and they both viewed people as beneath them, they both used people as chess pieces in their grand game, they are both equally monsters.
> I want this clusterfuck to mean something more than the world being given another chance to get it right
Letting the world sort itself out is a much greater gift then becoming an immortal emperor who has all the best ideas.

That, again, would turn him into his father, a fate worse then death.

to do that is to set yourself aside from the world. basically to think that you are greater than all who struggle.the world "sort itself out" often comes with a lot of bloodshed and I assumed that was one of the things he wanted to stop, so that what happened to him would not happen to others or people like suzaku would not be put into same situations.

In many ways he was superior, but that is not the point.

The choices are basically death, or immortal lelouch. The world would never be perfect so an immortal lelouch would have to keep trying to fix things.

It would be a horrible fate both for him and the world, everyone would suffer just like with Charles. There is no reason to think he would end up some benevolent permanent ruler.

CC says that her condition is a fate worse then death. Immortals have no place in the world of the living. They bring doom to everyone they are around.

I am not saying the story is realistic, its not, just that everything works. His "death" closes the story of lulu, its a classic tragic ending.

>>150278172
>The choices are basically death, or immortal lelouch.
why not little bit of immortal rule mixed with a gradual pullback. maybe with basic focus on technology and access to resources like water for all. World will never be perfect but he could have reduced the number of things that cause conflict.

she said lots of stuff do to her melancholy.

desu, I always liked the fan-theory that he inherited his father's code more than the idea that he died.

Remember the first season where Suzaku wanted to die, but an outside force (Lelouch) stopped that? Well, at the end of R2 Lelouch ironically enough seemed to WANT to die, I like the irony an outside influence (the code) stopping this.

All that being said, I don't think having a season 3 was a good idea. I'd have rather had him appear as a minor character in a geass series set very far in the future. Oh well...

Ya'll stupid as fuck if you didnt think any number of powerful third parties wouldnt try to take advantage of the situation and attempt to rebel/conquer the World.

Lelouch probably made the sacrifice hoping they'd be strong enough without him to bring peace and face any challenges that came.He left his bro hoping that if they werent, he'd be capable of managing the parts they couldnt.

What if he was wrong?

I don't even know what people are excited about. You're not getting R2's hype back, /a/ was a different board entirely when that was airing. It's not going to be fun, it's just going to be a whole lot of people trying to recreate something that's gone forever.

>>150266152
He took it from his father by fufilling the two requirements to do so
1)The geass user's geass must be fully developed, this was signified by the geass symbol in both of his eyes, so check
2)The geass user must kill the code bearer directly, i.e. with his own hands, Lelouch either ordered "God" or used the Sword of Akasha (I forget which it was), which, while not as direct per se as a knife or gun, still counts, so check
Then boom, you are now in possession of a code, now you just need to die in order to activate it.
It's at this point that all the anons bitching about how R2's ending and Lelouch's sacrifice now suddenly means nothing is lost on me. Do they not realize that Lelouch didn't plan to survive? Do they not realize that Lelouch couldn't have known about taking the code because he wouldn't think it would be possible, unless it was C.C.'s code, as well as the fact that it wouldn't activate until his death? Beause god knows best girl doesn't tell him shit about geass or codes, hence why Euphie's family friendly ethnic clensing happened. Hell, he's probably pissed at his survival

But it did. It just wasn't very well written which at times made it look like it was just one big joke, but the show itself and plenty of people (retards) took it very seriously.

But it didn't. External evidence and in-universe materials all say the opposite. Code Geass has enough in-jokes and moments of bending the fourth wall to disprove your words, not to mention the way various scenes were framed. There's a difference between paying attention and taking it seriously too, given that a lot of the criticism has been based on knee-jerk reactions. I guess you assume that if the show was better written it wouldn't be as crazy and unrealistic, but that's missing the point by a mile

>>150277516
>C.C. has literally stated numerous times that immortality is a fate worse than death
When? She only ever said her wish is death.

>>150284808
Initially the show took itself very seriously. Look at the melodrama after Euphemia's death for example. The reactions, the music, ... - all that indicates that they were trying to make this an emotional moment. Despite the ridiculousness that led to her death. In season 2 they seemed to have abandoned a lot of that but that doesn't mean that the show still didn't take itself seriously. It was not a parody, it was not a joke. Each and every one of the characters was dead serious about everything - despite the ridiculousness around them. There is nothing to indicate that Code Geass is a comedy show. It was your typical mecha/action/drama, like Sunrise typically does. It was essentially Gundam SEED just with more melodrama.

>>150285185
There are scenes which are more serious than not, but they are surrounded by scenes which weren't serious. They had Euphemia smile and kindly ask the Japanese people to die as well as have her reload in a happy manner. The fact you ignore that and jump straight to the death scene is pretty foolish. Besides, emotional moments are not a mark of absolute seriousness. Jojo is full of emotional moments where someone dies and people cry, but that doesn't mean the show is dead serious. You really need to have no memory of a lot of material in Code Geass in order to assume it's always serious. It is more tongue-in-cheek than you believe, and that's evident in Word of God statements that you cannot contradict. If you really think the creators thought that Emperor Wakamoto rocketing across the screen was serious, you're full of crap, because they have stated the opposite on the record. It isn't a comedy show, but it is more operatic and soap operatic than truly serious business. It's quite different from a lot of Sunrise mecha shows which have no such awareness. SEED was way less aware of itself.

I wonder if those movie recaps will include certain moments from other manga like from OZ 02 which shows one of the Valkyrie girls survived from the Gurren's attack and was married later on to the pilot of the prototype knightmare frame for the Tristain.

I honestly would not have a problem with an Ultimate Bad End of Lelouch becoming the same sort of tyrant his father was. That's where I thought the original anime was going to wind up anyway. Instead of an uplifting story it becomes a bitter meditation on how nobody ever really escapes the shadow of his ancestors.

>>150285487
>There are scenes which are more serious than not, but they are surrounded by scenes which weren't serious.
They are not serious to the viewer appalled by such ridiculousness but they are very serious to the audience the show is directed at, namely the chuuni audience. There are a fuckload of people out there who don't treat Code Geass like the badly written soap opera that it is, but they treat it like a serious drama. They watch it because they enjoy the plot, not to laugh at it and make silly photoshops of the most ridiculous scenes like /a/ does.
The writers may have taken the whole thing less seriously, but that doesn't change that the show itself makes absolutely no indication that there is humour in it. If there is humour - it is entirely meta and very open to interpretation. Make no mistake: Code Geass is a serious show - it's just not very good at transporting that since it's not very well written.

>>150265549

The theory has already been laid out for the past 10 years, people are just salty because Lelouch survived and their waifus lost the Lulubowl (honestly, I thought Kallen was best girl, but at least I can face reality). Lelouch got the Code from Charles because he killed Charles with his Geass. Remember how he was supposed to kill C.C. with his Geass and inherit her Code to set her free? He killed Charles instead and ended up both the Code from Charles and kept the Geass from C.C.(that's why the show is called Code Geass).

When Suzuaku stabbed him, he died, yeah. But then the Code resurrected him later on, and he is now cursed to live forever just like C.C. Lelouch was obviously the guy driving the cart at the end of the show, people just didn't want to admit it. Why would they purposely hide the face of a random cart driver? Because they wanted to leave everyone in suspense. The resurrection they are referring to is metaphorical, as in, Lelouch is finally going to appear in the world again. He was already "resurrected" at the end of S2.

Facts
1. Lelouch died.
2. Lelouch most likely expected to die during Zero Requiem.
3. Both "He died!" and "He's alive!" fags were right. It was the time frame that mattered.
4. Lelouch is back.
5. R3 is happening.

Going by your argument, anyone who isn't a jaded as fuck cynical hipster is a chuuni by definition. Which is a very silly point of view. The fact you believe the show wants to be a serious drama, period, is simply false. It's got dramatic moments, but that's not all. Besides, you are ignoring that many people can like this stuff even if they poke at it or have memes to use for fun. It's not a zero-sum game. There are multiple indications of the show not being as super serious as you think, which is the main reason why your complaints are out of place. The humor being meta doesn't mean it isn't there, especially when the staff refers to it rather than being surprised by that. Either way, it's pointless to argue since Code Geass didn't need to be the kind of purely serious and totally restrained show you seem to believe it was aiming for in the first place.

Is this really gonna be the "go-to" from now on?

When people say they don't think a third season of Code Geass is a good idea are the fans really just gonna dismiss the skeptics as people who thought Lelouch died?

Cause, like, you do realize that the ambiguity itself was part of what made R2's ending good. All that's gone now though. Same with the notion of Suzaku inheriting Lulu's identity as Zero, same with the notion of Lulu living a comfy life with C.C.

No, all that's gone. Carthathis and otherwise. Now we gotta suffer through the Taken 3 of anime.

I assume you were just too retarded to reply to the right post >>150286098.

>There are multiple indications of the show not being as super serious as you think, which is the main reason why your complaints are out of place.
Again: all "indications" are meta at best. Within the show itself there is very little humour outside of scenes that are definitely marked as humorous, e.g. by being accompanied by fitting music, usually taking place at school. The dramatic events however are mostly ridiculous but not humorous. They are not intended to be funny but they are dead serious within plot and setting.

>The humor being meta doesn't mean it isn't there, especially when the staff refers to it rather than being surprised by that.
Again: this is the very definition of meta. The staff might have its in-jokes or laugh at the show - quite akin to /a/ does, Code Geass is a laughing matter after all - but that doesn't mean that the writing itself indicates that funny things are happening. If anything the representation is ridiculous in the sense of a scene which within the plot is a dead serious event being visually represented as ridiculous, but this too is again meta. There is no indication in the writing that Euphemia murdering lots of people is something to be laughed at or that her dying afterwards is something to be laughed at, even though it turned out to be quite ridiculous.

Not to mention that just because it appeared funny to you does not mean that it appeared funny to just anyone. If you google "Euphemia" and "death" you'll find plenty of people out there who were quite emotionally struck by the event and who did not find the whole thing funny. In fact, within the fanbase I'd argue you're the minority.

I'm actually kinda okay with this, do we get to see how the world continued to run after the "death" did the leaders try to divide power and fuck up? I personally do wish to see the world after his final. Before he comes back. Can they truly achieve peace?

Under that premise any chuuni anime ever made, every JRPG, etc. is not serious. But that's factually wrong. The shows take themselves seriously (those who make them not necessarily), and the people who watch them take them seriously too.

>Geassed Euphemia murdering people = ridiculous for normal human beings
Lots of people didn't find it ridiculous but they thought it was quite the dramatic event. I remember discussing with people here who were actually defending the bad writing that led to Euphemia killing people, i.e. Lelouch out of random using such a ridiculous example as murdering Japanese people. This is not meant to be a laughing matter, it is just bad writing.

The combat system was shit too - so were the combat encounters of which none were truly memorable. And while the magic system was nice in theory, it practically was kinda crappy as well and the spells were mostly uninspired.

>>150286670
Catharsis is still there even if you accept one of the two scenarios as real. Votoms still has a good ending even though they made Shining Heresy as an unnecessary sequel. Code Geass getting a sequel chapter with new situations doesn't mean the previous accumulation of events doesn't get a big release at that point. Things need to build up again and they might mess it up, who knows, but it's too soon to tell.

What did he mean by this?

>>150287933
It can be formally bad for the writing to have him say those exact words and make her end up geassed then, but that doesn't mean it isn't done in the service of provoking the viewer to have surprising reaction and it sure wasn't focusing on the sad part at that moment. The point of the triggering scene wasn't to have a normal conversation with a normal outcome, but to have him mess up in an exaggerated manner that wouldn't happen in a normal situation. .

it's people like you that have compelled them to do this because they know that they could release something with zero-effort and it would still manage to satisfy you dumbfucks. all this proves is that morons like you outnumber the people who manage to read nursery rhymes without suffering from a mental overload. so you're right, stupidity in numbers is powerful.

If anything the viewer was surprised by how bad the writing is.

And a good writer would have managed to achieve that outcome without resorting to having the character say something completely ill fitting - or he would have chosen a different device to achieve the same outcome.

>>150285185
It seems that for you if the characters within a show take everything seriously, then the show is taking itself seriously. But that is not necessarily the case at all. You can quite easily have a situation where humor is derived from the gap between perception and reality. In fact that's one of the oldest kinds of humor there is. Look at characters like Polonius: he and the other characters take him seriously, it's just the audience who is supposed to find him funny.

>>150289634
>You can quite easily have a situation where humor is derived from the gap between perception and reality.
That might be the case for something actually humorous, e.g. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but Code Geass is not that kind of show. As I said earlier: the humour - if it is there at all - is at best meta in the sense of the the show making something look ridiculous in terms of visual presentation. The show takes itself seriously, the plot is not meant to be a laughing matter, there is hardly any humorous dialogue, etc. - the only thing you could argue is amusing are things like Spinzaku, how Euphemia looks while gunning down people, the Emperor-rocket and so on - but all that is taking place embedded in a serious context and the events - albeit silly looking - are still dead serious.

The point remains: Code Geass is not a comedy show and nobody besides you views it as one.

>>150289723
I am not at all convinced that the creators took the show seriously, and I'm not sure why you are so convinced. They saw how people reacted to things like Spinzaku and deliberately played them up going forward. That suggests to me that they were not being deadly serious.

>nobody besides you views it as one.

I'm not actually the same guy you were previously replying to anon. That's how it works around here. Anonymous is not a username.

I have high hopes for R3.

Think we all need to stop jumping ships when we haven't even seen any trailers let alone a episode of it. Stop jumping to conclusions you fools.

>>150289198
Wow, that is some amazing butthurt over something so minor. The ending was ambiguous and was always intended to be ambiguous. In the end, the answer Sunrise chose wasn't the one you thought it'd be. So what? R2 still exists as you remember it.

>>150289791
It is well likely that the creators realised that what they were doing was silly and went along with it (perhaps not all of them but some) but it's not like they turned it into a comedy show. The plot was still serious, they were dealing with quite serious events. Each and every one of the characters - no matter how silly they were - took the whole thing seriously, and it was by no means comedy like the aforementioned Monty Python film. Code Geass was an overly melodramatic soap opera that tried to be a lot of things, perhaps comedy was one of these things (although it was mostly a minor element at best), but it did nothing particularly well.

>>150289931
>The ending was ambiguous
Not the guy you're talking to but it was by no means ambiguous. The fans made it ambiguous but it ended with Lelouch being stabbed right on screen. Occam's razor suggests that Lelouch is dead. If they had wanted to make it ambiguous they would have given people a stronger lead than a cart driver who is barely present.

ITT: Butthurt people who thought he was dead and now trying to shit on R3 because they got proven wrongs

If you don't like the idea of a sequel then you don't have to watch it or follow anything related to it. But don't bitch and moan because your theory was wrong

>>150289947
Nobody is arguing that it's a comedy show, as far as I can see. The problem is that you seem to lack any sense of nuance: for you, either it's a comedy, or it's very serious. But to say something doesn't take itself very seriously is to say that it's neither one of those things, but somewhere in-between (and no, not necessarily in the middle).

And again, you just keep banging on about how seriously the characters took everything, because apparently my entire first post, >>150289634, is completely lost on you. Nobody is saying the characters didn't take it seriously: that's just not crucially important to a claim about whether or not a show took itself seriously.

>>150290024

>>150290046
Except for the part where your entire defence of the bad writing is that you claim it was intentional in order to make it comedic to the viewer. And I maintain the position that this is not the case. It's badly written because the writers are incompetent. Halfway through they might have realised that the anime they're making is garbage and added some fittingly ridiculous visuals to go along with it, but that is no excuse.

>>150290059
Anon, I thought Lelouch was dead too, but come on now. This is a show where immortality is a thing.

Well OK, but that's not what I was replying to, is it? I haven't bothered to argue with you over whether the show is good or not, just whether it's serious or not.

It's pretty clear that trying to discuss anything with you is a waste of time, you're just going to keep trying to throw out distractions to avoid dealing with any substantive objections. So I'm not going to anymore.

>I'm arguing that the creators did not take the show very seriously
That is something only the creators truly know. As I said: I'm even willing to grant you that they realised at some point how silly the anime they were working on was but that still does not make it a comedy show nor does it make the anime any less serious. If it was meant to be not serious and a laughing matter then they've failed because the majority of their audience found it to be a fairly serious drama. No anime website on the internet flagged this as comedy.

>I haven't bothered to argue with you over whether the show is good or not
It's not.

>just whether it's serious or not.
It is serious. Whatever comedy you believe to see in Code Geass is at worst coincidental and at best meta - a wink of the animators at the smarter parts of their audience. That still does not make Code Geass a comedy show nor does it excuse bad writing.
