Huntereizel

From 3 series to 1 series a week for fansubbing.

School only 3 days a week.

No more Geass blogging to do.

WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO?

[miasmacloud] …I guess I could renew WoW.
[ilifin] miasmacloud play a kawaii belf hunter
[ilifin] called schneizel
[ilifin] with a pet panda, kannon

Sure, why not?

I’m going to ship Schneizel x C.C. (to piss mike off)

C.C. puts on a Zero costume, goes up to Schneizel, “Hey, I wanna know if the moon is made of cheese, and if that cheese would be good on pizza. I hear you can make space shit. Get to work on this important matter.” Schneizel, being mind raped and not knowing any better, politely agrees to follow Zero-sama’s instructions. Match made in heaven.

(As a more serious side note, there is an annoying similarity between the 2 of them, and it’s annoying because I don’t get how I’m supposed to properly describe it.)

Mind raped Geassed Schneizel

I’m supposed to be studying for my exam tomorrow, but making an image that makes fun of Geassed Schneizel is as productive as studying. I’m still wondering what the fuck was going through his mind about Zerozaku and Lelouch. (Hit the read more for the fruits of my labor.) Read more »

Final Rating: Schneizel/10

Speaking critically, Code Geass was an utter failure with many highs/lows that didn’t know how or where to pace itself. It had too many genres it was dipping into and turned into a cesspool. It abused bathos and irony to the point where the series was drowning in them and I thought at times that the writer had no other trick up their sleeve. It had an extremely cowardly written open ending with unresolved plot threads dangling at every turn. 3/10.

But even though I thought Code Geass was horrible in many ways, I could never take my eyes off of it. Thus, it was a trainwreck. But it wasn’t just a trainwreck, it was a fucking fabulous one.

I’ve been watching Geass for reasons like entertainment and Schneizel, not because I want to be a critic. Like Timbo said earlier on IRC, “Who fucking cares about the critical? This is entertainment.” Wise words, ’cause this has been extremely fucking entertaining. I laughed, I raged, I got trolled, I rambled, I spent ~9hrs of my life every Saturday night to Sunday morning on it for the past half a year. It’s been fun. Well played, Code Geass. Well fucking played. 8/10.

The character who I cared the most about got a good end, as he now finally has a purpose (although it was forced on him, but hey). At first I just liked him for reasons like “He’s cute :D” and later during R2, “Omg he has a pet uke”, but I’ve come to understand and actually like him. I’m pretty satisfied. Schneizel/10.

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.

It’s the end of the world as we know it

Once again, I lost.

As promised, Schneizel x Kannon’s Hat.

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.

Even my translator…

CC: I’ve seen…
CC: I’ve always seen…
CC: That fighting is in the history of people… {that’s what schneizel said D:}

The {} = note from the translator.

…even Xabin notices some similarity between Schneizel and C.C. :D

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.

Defining Schneizel’s Mask

The meaning of Schneizel’s mask is tricky. He has a mask, and yet he doesn’t. His mask can be identified by his lies. That’s not a very special mask, it’s the same mask shared by everyone that Charles speaks of and wishes to destroy. But at the same time, it’s not much of a mask because he doesn’t really go to great efforts to hide his lies. In the end, Schneizel does something like wear a mask that looks exactly like his own face.

Schneizel has been a character who’s kept us guessing for a while, when in reality we had no real reason to. We always thought he had something up his sleeve like a good magician, but naw. He’s left himself out in the open. We were just looking for something that wasn’t there because we didn’t know any better. And it wasn’t just us, it was Lelouch too. Read more »

SunTail style Schneizel

D’aaaw
(Although it kind of looks like he has purple Pac-Man in his eyes)

(Also, I made the last poll ’cause I’ve been listening to R2 OST2. Damn it, you guys all suck. Innocent Days? Seriously? Stories is A++++ awesome! ;_;)

Peace versus a single life

Taking into account Kannon’s “YOU DON’T EVEN FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOURSELF” and Schneizel’s “Trade a single life in for peace, SAD BUT CANNOT COMPARE hurr” from R2 24, wouldn’t it have been a nice gesture if Schneizel had offered to swap places with the Tianzi in R2 09 when Zero has her at gunpoint and wants to run off with her? He was trying to create peace back then without bombing the fuck out of everyone… If both the treaty with the EU and the deal with China had gone through, then the three major super powers would’ve been “friends” with Britannia through some peace which treads on thin ice.

Of course, when you get into the details this is all kinds of stupid. There was the element of “Xingke is there too with his sword drawn”, Zero wouldn’t have to accept that trade, the Black Knights would’ve still been a problem especially if Britannia decided to put emphasis on Schneizel rather than what he was possibly trying to accomplish, etc. I’m mostly dwelling/rambling.

(…but on the note of the Black Knights and this situation, there’s something that bothers me about the China Arc. How exactly did the Eunuchs think they were preparing the Black Knights as a wedding gift? Were they trying to hide the details of the wedding from them? I guess not, since the Eunuchs apparently didn’t make any effort to prevent the Tianzi from inviting Kaguya. Her position within the Black Knights is pretty clear.)

Sick Schneizel

FABULOUS!, though it sounds like he has a fur ball stuck in his throat

— LunarRoar, commenting on the Laugheizel Loop

I think Lunar is on to something. (Note: Not really.) Schneizel must have some kind of terminal throat/lung disease, and that’s why he gave up having effort! …however my real motive here though is to put Schneizel and Kannon in situations where Schneizel is unable to take medicine by himself and Kannon has to help him via mouth-to-mouth.

Lazy Schneizel is lazy

[kodaturret] do you think its supposed to be symbolic that schneizel used to win @ chess in the past and now he’s like “hurr lazy” :v
[schnwtfhisname] hmm, that makes sense. Seeing as how he already seemed to be giving up or at least not giving a fuck during the chess game in china
[schnwtfhisname] It was an indicator that his character was beign developed that way

And I’m too lazy to formulate this into a proper post even though I was attempting to for a bit.

I think I’ll blog at Schneizel Effort power levels from now on.

Is the glass half empty or half full?

If you were to the ask “Is the glass half empty or half full?” to Charles, Schneizel and Lelouch, I imagine that Charles would respond half empty, Lelouch would respond half full, and Schneizel would respond by pointing out that half full and half empty are the same thing. The glass has liquid in it either way. Schneizel is right in a way, but he’s kinda missing the point about why people ask that question, and thus he is also wrong in a way. (Also, it’s not like Schneizel would ever have to be worried about his glass being empty. Someone will always be there to refill it~)

I was going to write more but I stopped myself realizing that the above is sufficient enough.

Quit arguing about the Guilford shit

Look, guys, Guilford is alive so he can be by Cornelia’s side and they can make it seem like Schneizel was trying to get them back together somehow because he likes to make wishes come true in his own screwed up little way. If you’re gauging that from the scene, you are fine, the writers don’t care about ANYTHING ELSE, especially FLEIA science, so you shouldn’t either! Picture this: Guilford miraculously survives, who cares, Schneizel is unsure of his situation and tows him around so he can present him to Cornelia fully recovered! He tells her that he’s missing so he can present Guilford recovered to her later, “Oh look sis he’s back ^^!” and Cornelia doesn’t have to worry about Guilford’s health. But it turns out that Guilford was blinded by the FLEIA light! Tragedy. When they come to ally with the Black Knights, Guilford has fully recovered except for his eyes or whatever (If he’s even really blind), Schneizel shoots up Cornelia, then dumps her at Horai Island along with Guilford and calls it a day. He shot her because he needed to look like a complete ass and live up to his mask of the day. Or something. Or he has some fucked up idea of crippled Cornelia and crippled Guilford accepting each others imperfections and living happily ever after!

Edit: Basically… Cornelia can be his eyes, and in return, Guilford can be her legs. (I’m assuming she really got shot up badly at the legs.) I think Guilford being doted upon due to his health by the woman he was sworn to protect would’ve crushed him.

Edit2: Also I don’t really think that shooting up Cornelia was remotely necessary, but… it’s Schneizel.

The Schneizel’s Lifespan Betting Game No. 2

I am now betting with frequently misspelled that Schneizel lives to the end of the series.

If he loses, he has to write Schneizel x Kannon’s Hat fanfic.

If he wins, I don’t have to lift a finger.

Aww yeah.

Ah! My Geass!

After the past/present/future comparison from R2 24, I’ve got an idea for an AU spin off series: Ah! My Geass! It will star college student Kannon Maldini (Keiichi Morisato - FUCK SAME INITIALS), who dials up a Britannian Royalty service by mistake instead of Pizza Hut. Result? Now Schneizel (Belldandy) is living with him under a contract. Also stars Lelouch (Skuld) and Charles (Urd). To make this sound less like an excuse to make Kannon and Schneizel live together, this also metaphorically works out, as Schneizel has a “fucked up wish granter” gimmick to him. (I’m not being very convincing.)

It would be fucking awesome.

Edit/Re - The Comments: It should have been obvious I was going off the deep end by the simple fact I had a blog dedicated to one anime and I was dedicating time to subbing it and blogging about it entirely because of a crush on a character who gets 0 screen time. If you didn’t pick up based on that, then you should have been able to after the Lelouch of the High School Rebellion post! I rest my case.

“Serve Zero”

So people are looking at this phrase carefully. They’re zooming on the fact that he orders Schneizel to serve Zero in specifically, thinking this is relevant to Zero Requiem or whatever. Blah blah who the fuck cares. I think there’s something else worth pointing out: What if Geassed Schneizel had been a complete smart ass and not listened to Lelouch because he wasn’t in the Zero get up? THEN WHAT? Speculation about that is far more comical and interesting than speculating about what the shit Zero Requiem is and why he specifically told Schneizel to “Serve Zero”. Really now.

Laughing Schneizel Loop

I’ve made a fabulously mesmerizing loop of Schneizel laughing but flv quality sucks so get the fabulous mkv that I’m too lazy to upload anywhere but RapidShit. Fuck, I’m totally going to torrent this. Actually never mind, it would be un-Schneizel-like to get the effort to torrent it.

Edit: Here’s sum tinypic player.
