I can’t rage about this episode

I’ve had some time… and really, I can’t rage.

I mean, the joke about Tamaki’s VA on the bar sign, the reference to S1 with Orange becoming a fucking orange farmer on a plantation, Orange jumping out of an exploding mech (which jumped out of an exploding mech itself) to knife a loli, the irony of Lelouch dying, when this series took off because he had a reason to live, the irony of C.C. and Suzaku surviving, when they were the 2 who wanted to die for a long time, Schneizel’s spiffy gray suit, and of course, the frequently misspelled writing hatfucking porn.

The character who I cared about finished his run in R2 24, and I “understand” him and feel his story was fitting. The rest of the Geassverse just… fails to catch my attention here.

Anyway, the Encode is taking the longest for subbing today, so here’s me being emo.

To the handsome Tamaki-san

Blame /a/ for this being in the sub.

wait lol about this scene

So if Schneizel recognizes that Lelouch = Zero, and also recognizes the guy in the suit = Zero… Seriously what’s going through his head in this scene? This could’ve been a fucking hilarious comedy.

SCHNEIZEL’S SUIT LOOKS NICE!

Was there a rest of the episode? I don’t even know.

Okay frequently misspelled, time to live up to your hat porn.

Last Kannon sighting, about 1/2 way through the episode. D:

Edit: I’ve decided that Kannon was in-between Gino and Kallen on the prisoner line up.

lol stairs

lol seriously, stairs.
rip suzaku(?)
or not
rip lelouch

R2 25 last minute predictions

LANCE OF LONGINUS

LANCE OF LONGINUS DEFEATS FLEIA. FYI.

[aers] the geass r2 final battle is a battle of who can make up the mos bullshit technology fastest

PRETTY MUCH.

GUILFORD AND CORNELIA. ARE ALIVE.

Basically, Lelouch pulls a Mao on Schneizel, because he is arrogant and thus falls for it, and gets Geassed into being Lelouch’s slave bitch. Kannon makes more pouty “OMG DON’T DIE” faces and Schneizel lol shoots Diethard under Geass effects. Gino may or may not be God by now. Also, I guess my baaawing about 50% effort shit has been right. Lelouch basically wins because he thinks to himself, “Schneizel doesn’t really care about anything, so he’ll give up if I just fuck with him.”

And I call fucking shenanigans on Lelouch being able to run up stairs like that.

Also, Nunnally. She can see:

Kannon’s pouty face ods;gkl;sdfk23l;4kdsf:

Revisiting the chess board

Lets take another look at this chess board from R2 16, and switch Lelouch and Schneizel’s positions as the kings. Lelouch, garbed in white as Britannia’s Emperor, and Schneizel, with the Black Knights as his new bitches. Read more »

What’s weird about the gun turret shit

What’s weird about the gun turret shit isn’t that it happened, but rather, how did Kannon not get hit? Kannon and Diethard were standing on the red carpet shit. Diethard seemed to be positioned more behind Schneizel, but Kannon seemed to be positioned more behind Cornelia. Click the read more for visual aid.

ChaosShadow’s Mystery: Why did she fall forward towards Schneizel and not on her side? (Answer: look at where she falls she was prolly riddled with bullets but was awesome enough to take another step forward)
Naza’s Mystery: If the turret fired straight forward, how did it even hit Cornelia? See this visual.
Remo’s Solution: Gravity.
Koda’s Counter: Remo, this is Code Geass. If you aren’t thinking about simple stuff in a ridiculous manner, then you aren’t doing it right.

Oh yeah, corpse moving shit

Uh, oh right. Kannon made some comment about knowing that Anya’s memories returned. Is that, “btw Schneizel moved Marianne’s corpse” thing going to suddenly become relevant somewhere or what.

R2 24 Extended Preview

lolwait, at the end of the extended preview, does Lelouch say that his final card is within Schneizel’s heart? What’s he going to do… Get on the open channel and tell Schneizel, “AREN’T I THE MAN YOU LOVE THE MOST?! ;___;”

(Or maybe it refers to Kannon)

Edit / Preview translation from coj:

If Suzaku and I joined forces, we could achieve anything. That’s how it was supposed to be. But Schneizel’s menace - that true threat - lies in a (sheer) lack of attachment. Just what tactics will the man who knows Geass and has obtained Freya adopt in his boundless ambition? Will strategy no longer work on a battlefield dominated by Freya? The final gamble, that very card, lies in Schneizel’s own heart…

I’m guessing Lelouch wants to use Schneizel’s lack of attachment against Schneizel. Or Kannon is what’s in Schneizel’s heart, and he’s going to become important for defeating Schneizel suddenly, which is why he’s been left alive this whole time while other characters get axe’d. Grinch ending? Or perhaps Kannon dies and Schneizel loses it?

someone go make image ktks

Someone go make an image for me I’m lazy. Macro~ It needs to start with some people look down, and like, “Blah blah there’s problems in the world” etc, then Schneizel frame, “Hey guys dont worry I know how to fix all of these problems” and then a Cornelia frame where she looks happy and is like, “Oh wow :D Awesome! What’s your plan?” and another Schneizel frame, “Kill everyone…” and then UNAMUSED Cornelia face, then Schneizel fingersnap, “…starting with you”, poof, dead Cornelia frame as last. Plztks.

Oh, and where the fuck’s the SCHNEIZEL LIED, CORNELIA DIED macro btw?

All fucking delicious evil guys have fingersnap operated gun turrets

Schneizel snaps his fingers, Cornelia dies.

I can’t even say anything else about this episode because the idea of him having a fingersnap operated gun turret that pops out and shoots people that was conveniently located right behind here Cornelia was standing is the only thing that comes to mind.

Also, Kannon betraying him as ending seems more and more likely. (Lelouch threw Diethard a look, but I think Kannon’s little “Guys wtf” were to set him up more as the one to do it?)

The one who can’t wear the mask can’t be victorious, If you can’t handle the mask, you can’t win, guys.

Also, Corner’s right:

Now it has been proven that he is CRAZY, and the only person with clear sight in the entire show.

“It seems this world is full of problems. Whats the simplest way to get rid of those problems? Right, kill the fuckers. Lets kill everybody.”

You have no idea how happy I am to see a pure character, someone who knows what he is doing.

— Alejandro Corner, Schnizel’s alternate reality twin !!TFtQKRsB74h

Also correct:

Considering he can just click his fingers and have a turret pop out wherever he wants to kill whoever needs to be killed I think he has Lelouch beat.

R2 23 is soooooon

HAVE YOU PREPARED YOURSELF FOR WHAT WILL HOPEFULLY BE SOMETHING LIKE 20MINS OF DELICIOUS EVIL SCHNEIZEL FACES? I’m all hyped up to get a textless version of this image above. Will totally make it a new avatar everywhere unless there is something even better looking. ;A;

Zero Re:quiem (and other random stuff)

• I think you’re supposed to spell it “Zero Re:quiem”, and the “Re:” R2 25 title is a reference to this.
• R2 22 nuked a lot of my Nina R2 post I was writing. See, the entry turned into a long rant about why I thought the story was directing itself towards Nina redeeming herself, but this is all useless now that R2 22 basically confirmed she’s doing this.
• I thought of a way to combine Kannon being Naoto and Schneizel’s defeat: Kannon has memory loss, then during the FINAL CONFLICT he suddenly regains his memories then he’s like, “Uhmm Nippon Banzai D:” (I assume Schneizel is going to be using Damocles on Japan.)
• Yaoi fangirlishness aside, Kannon is a pretty pointless character. The fact he hasn’t died yet when other randomly pointless characters have is quite amazing. At this rate he really will be Naoto.
• Lelouch and Suzaku are basically Celestial Being now. I don’t know why people are shitting bricks over their actions in R2 22 ’cause it’s always been, “I’m going to villainize myself. I’m a douchebag. FUCK YEAH theatrics!” in Geass.
• Oh who the fuck cares if Kaguya is crying. (I don’t care if Cagalli is crying either.)
• Monica. ;___; Suzaku must genuinely be a homo to kill the moe chick, the new chick, but spare his gaysex buddy Gino.
• So Nunnally has a human lie detector. If Schneizel’s been lying to her, his fabulous must be tricking her lie detector.
• Lelouch went to Japan and trolled the UFN purely to get Nina. Fuck yeah international trolling just to get the table humper.

Is that Nunnally firing some FLEIA’s

…is this Nunnally using the all purpose detonator-chan to say… fire FLEIA’s? Haha, oh wow. Schneizel, you fabulous jackass. Are you making your little sister fire them so when the blame game comes up, you can just point fingers about how it was ultimately her doing it, and look sparkly clean, gloves on no blood stains as usual? Oh you and your mind games.

Evil Schneizel Finally Here?

I’ve been waiting for 25 eps, 2 recaps, 2 dvd specials, some [time inbetween], and 21 more episodes since I saw him do the hair flick in the JIBUN WO~ opening, and… holy fuck the episode 23 preview.

In this episode, Suzaku obliterates the Knights of Rounds, Bismark has a future-seeing Geass he gets to use for five seconds, MONICA DIES WTF, Rivalz x Nina end confirmed, and Lelouch is trying to troll the UFN when Schneizel shows up in Damocles at the end (his party includes Cornelia, Kannon, Diethard and Anya) having bombed the fuck out of Pendragon, and with Nunnally alive as the episodic TWEEST. Schneizel’s plans at this point are probably to make Nunnally the Empress and rule from the shadows. Or something similar.

Lelouch is trolling Britannia and the UFN, Schneizel is trolling Lelouch, and we’re all being trolled by SunRise.

[LtEagle] whatever Rivalz’s line actually was when he was pulled from the fence, gg should disregard it and sub it as “Don’t tase me bro”
[Mandoric] give this man a promotion to CptEagle
[twilightBlanc] demux the audio
[twilightBlanc] remove riva;z’s line
[twilightBlanc] and insert the taze line as the dub

Rewatching makes your head hurt

Watching dubbed S1 19 in full has reminded me why the fuck I just prefer to stare at Schneizel and ignore other shit these days. This picture to the right may or may not be related. The point of S1 18-19 was stuff like giving Lelouch Gawain, Suzaku’s “live” Geass, and Schneizel being inserted in the story somehow, so as long as that shit happened, not much else really matters and random bullshit can be filled in the gaps in-between and you can just lol it later. Unfortunately, wondering about one thing leads to another and then suddenly a blog entry is born.

C.C., if you’re consciously aware that V.V. is a complete faggot, why exactly did you believe he was just “observing” on Kamine Island? I mean, you ran away from Britannia after you heard that he killed Marianne. I get the impression you don’t really trust him, so why exactly are you buying his “observer” shit? This wasn’t really what I wanted to say at all. Let’s try this again.

C.C., if you’re consciously aware that V.V. is a complete faggot, why are you sitting on the submarine and letting him be a complete faggot? Read more »

Potpurri

• The above picture raises a point about Schneizel’s outfit: Is the purple thing under sleeveless or not? We’ve never seen him w/o the overcoat, huh. Also, living in Arizona sucks. I used this picture because I’ve been eating ice cream lately for a cold snack.
• The Geass.jp website has a summary for Turn 22 which includes the phrase, “a new story is being sung” or something similar, which is really comforting to hear for episode 22 in a 25 episode series. If it was “new chapter” I probably wouldn’t be saying anything but uhm!
• There’s a new poll on BIGLOBE for your favorite R2 episode. The fields on the bottom = Comment, Gender (M / F) and Age. I’m tempted to vote for R2 19 and put “Schneizel is a fucking magician” in the comment box.
• The Geass.jp website also lists a new event called Cafe Geass which will take place at the mai:lish maid cafe in Akiba. They’re making a drink and food menu of some sort to reflect the characters images and will have various Geass merchandise on display. Maybe it’s due to subbing Antique Bakery, but I really want pics of the food they make for it…
• The Sound Episode 4 cover and details have been announced. It features Lelouch and a fabulous rainbow of fast food, and Kallen doing some semi-Guren cosplay.
• Yesterday I went to my anime club to try to make them watch Geass R2. It was rejected because they’re strict about watching series as a club. When I suggested this, people yelled out, “Just do what she said, Geass is awesome” and the Club President said something like, “Wat no Geass was okay until like ep 22 of the first season”. Interesting, seeing as how most think that srsbsns shit went down in 22-25 that made Geass awesum in the first place.
  • They ended up watching Kara no Kyoukai 3 without watching 1 or 2 (though this is likely because we explained that it’s told out of order anyway). It’s extremely weird watching stuff you sub on the projector at school… and in Windows Media Player. D: I avoided telling them I’m from the fansub group so they don’t ask me where the fuck movie 4 is.
  • Dio/Yujiro from IRC and ADTRW went to his anime club too yesterday because they advertised themselves using a Spinzaku wearing a top hat and cane poster. I have yet to hear anything from him about how that went though.
• S1 19 of the dub is supposed to be on AdultSwim today, which will introduce Schneizel’s dub voice actor. I suspect it’ll be up by the time I get home from class so if they did a separate clip with him in it I’ll throw it up. (Also since I’m lazy I think I’ll make the next poll about Dubeizel)
• Canned Dogs posted about Geass’s BIGLOBE’s online stream viewing numbers from an MSN article. I asked Tamaki’s Girlfriend to check out the BIGLOBE webpage before to see if there were any view counters that the public could see, and she gave us a screenshot that didn’t indicate there was a view counter. The numbers are, assuming Bandai Visual isn’t lying out of their asses, mostly positive (420k+ views on R2 01). Why no public view counter on the stream anyway?
• Oh, speaking of the dub, Bandai Ent. has begun shipping replacement disks for the defectives.
