Alright, OP, what do you consider some better shows?

>>151256828
It's not.

>>151256862
K-ON!, Yuru Yuri, Himouto, Umaru-san, Non Non Biyori, Working!

>>151256923
Literally none of those are better than CG.

>>151256828
>It's schlock
Exactly.
It's so bad it's good.

I hope no one watches anime for thought-provoking narratives.

>>151256960
So you actually enjoy transparent wish fulfilment anime where the MC is a gary stu with super powers, genius level intellect who has every woman he meets fall in love with him while he takes on an entire empire?

Shit taste. It's not compelling at all.

>>151257016
People enjoyed it because it was an entertaining, board-altering experience, not because it was 'good'.

Lurk for at least 2 years before posting.

>>151257066
Then you agree with OP, geass is fucking garbage and was liked only for the meme value

>>151257096
Not him but I watched it on my own completely and loved the shit out of it.

I watched Cross Ange and Mayoiga with /a/.Both are bad show like CG so what's the point?

>>151257148
Nah logh was actually good. Gay as fuck, but good. It's because the characters were actually adults and weren't fulfilling the high school fetish, and none of them had magic powers.

Code Geass is logh if you strip the soul of it and design it by committee to hit as many anime tropes as possible

>Nah logh was actually good. Gay as fuck, but good. It's because the characters were actually adults and weren't fulfilling the high school fetish, and none of them had magic powers.


I agree with your last sentence but I think its fine to do a generic show with magical powers if it's done well and the highschool shit while upsetting didn't seem to be the focus of the show more like an overused backdrop that was barely worth paying attention to. but yeah its fair

but can you see why highschool fags and other kids would enjoy it as if they could understand and actually sit through logh

Look I think planetes is one of the best shows I have ever seen but I'd be deluding myself If I could show it to the average normie and convince them that it's good and worth while

such is life

You had to be a teen in the 00's to understand. It hit that sweet spot. Now you can watch it in all its corniness.

How are you this retarded?
If you'd been here for more than a year you'd know that CG was mainly liked due to reasons already stated in this thread.

It was a board-spanning, over the top, cheesy shitstorm which entertained everyone nearly a decade ago.
Half the threads were reactions at retarded plot twists, not a praise of any 'serious' elements.

Fuck off, and lurk moar.

If you consider any of those better than CG maybe you should reconsider life.

>>151257902
>Half the threads were reactions at retarded plot twists, not a praise of any 'serious' elements.
Hahaha, what utter bullshit. Maybe you've convinced yourself this is the case because you're so embarrassed you liked a shitty anime 10 years ago?

This thread convinced me to rewatch it after all these years because I don't remember a harem. It wouldn't surprise me if turned out to be true given those high school episodes, but at the same time I can't help but smell buzzwords.

I guess op prefers boku no pico, school days and the likes ey ?

it wasn't a harem tho, they fell for him, big deal its not like they wanted to fall for him + the show focused on him on his quest for justice in his world anyway and it didn't focus on the romance at all. although Shirley is a motivation for him and Rolo fuck that gay dude

>>151257643
>Supposedly serious
Not the same thing

>>151256828
>he fell for the geass meme

I bet you watched Toradora too, faggot

>>151258110
How many girls does it take for a harem? Because Kallen, Shirley, C.C and Nunnally all have the hots for Lelouch

>>151258110
R2 ep 12 shows the harem aspect of the show. But then, I think the dosage of harem in the show overall is pretty healthy, and shouldn't really ruin any viewer's experience at all.

Next time watch the fucking show before you post about it.

as a flaw I only dislike CG for the fact that when he was about to confront his primary goal, the conflict of his dad killing his mother, It was then revealed that his mother actually coerced with his father and not only that they have a good case to fight as well. and I was like, dude, what is lelouch fighing for now that all he was doing wasn't actually necessary. the story followed a stoic motivation thereafter

>>151258314
Anyone can play that game:

>Code Geass
A theatrical and emotional roller coaster, seamlessly combining all the things that defined anime in the early-mid 2000's and playing with them in a way that grips the viewer and never lets go. Suzaku is clearly a critique on Kira Yamato-like characters and Lelouch a homage to the likes of Char Aznable (failures, flaws and all), with the twist being that he is the main character this time around, driving the series through his determination and anger at the world. Code Geass was a sensation that marked a certain point in anime history, not because of it's objective quality or originality, but because it hit all the right spots at the right times.

You have to baiting.

>>151258214
But I thought for most of the show they handled those three well in a non-haremy way

Shirley was like a piece of his old life before he led a rebellion. She died anyway.

Kallen fell in love with Zero first.

CC I felt hardly counted because she was a morally ambiguous mentor of sorts for much of it and I remember the dynamic of their relationship was hotly debated even by the end. You're really not seeing her as a clear cut option until a good way into R2.

They were like different facets of his life.

>>151259014
To protect Lelouch's identity?

>>151259031
It doesnt contradict with the goal that I mentioned. What Nunnally was trying to do was almost identical to what Lelouch was trying to do. (To direct all the world's hatred towards them so that the world unifies and becomes peaceful) Lelouch recognised that doing that to her essentially just helps her complete her goal as well, but instead of her taking the world's hatred, he would take it instead. This way, he could create a warm world for Nunnally. But then I do think that he ultimately failed to create a warm world for Nunnally in the end, since he heavily underestimated the importance of his life in Nunnally's life.

>>151256828
you know that he loses right?

>>151256828
Code Geass was for memes. Obviously you're too new to know.

>>151259112
If you rewatch the scene in R2 ep 13, its pretty obvious that he didn't kill Shirley to protect Lelouch's identity. (It was only his excuse) But then of course he didnt do that to suck Lelouch's dick and Roro is obvious as fuck not part Lelouch's harem.

>>151259329

I'd argue that he won in the end.

>>151258314
I like Fate/Stay Night a whole lot. But let's not make it bigger than it is.

>>151258368
Lelouch was Nunnally's world. I think he wanted to create HIS world. Sure Nunnally was a part of that, but it was never fully about her, which tied into his other motivations like revenge.

By the end, he was creating a better world for everyone including Nunnally, everyone but himself. Poor Nunnally's desires got denied until the end but it's okay. It's not the ending Lelouch originally wanted either. Can't always get what you want but you get what you need.

There's people like you, then there's people who go ''it was bad but fun''. No, it wasn't a trainwreck or schlock either, you're just too fucking stupid to realize the good far outweighed the bad and the myriad of things people love about the show.

I was like 14, it's shits itself towards the end of season 1 and beginning of season 2 but it has a solid finale and one of the most satisfying endings as far as anime go.

>>151256828
Your opinion is fucking garbage. The guy only has one magic power (the Geass eye) and he's pretty flawed for a genius. Can't destroy the Empire on his own either. Your attention span is shit.

>>151256923
None of those are even trying to be from the same genre, so that's a nonsensical comparison.

>>151257192
Code Geass is almost nothing like LOGH outside of having two protagonists who are young geniuses, nor did it ever need to be realistic.

For that matter, LOGH is pretty great but it's clearly fulfilling military otaku fetishism by spending inordinate amounts of time on military maneuvers and politicking. I can dig it there, but I don't want every single show to be exactly like it.

And what's wrong with shows having magic powers? Anime exists precisely because such things are possible here.

>>151258214

The code geass theory is pretty much fanon, even the dead camp accepts it as the only possibility if he was indeed alive. I can't think of anything that won't sound like an asspull for his resurrection unless it is due to this theory.

In short, you should just get >>/out/ because you clearly don't belong here.

>>151270002
It wouldn't really be an asspull though, but simply something Lelouch didn't know about. He's not an expert on everything related to Geass or Codes

>>151256828
It's the only anime with a high school setting and a magical power that I like, so Geass is alright in my book.

CG isn't some thematic masterpiece, it's just and extremely fun show.
If you're going into it looking for GiTS tier philosophy, or the character depth you won't find it.

Code Geass is just about plot twists, and Lelouch using his shenanigans and unconventional methods to get revenge and world peace.
