I think part of what made Kallen an outstanding character was that she didn't suffer a development rollback at the start of S2. Every one else was busy reenacting R1 in fast forward. Of course then she had to chill in a straight jacket for halve the season until everyone else had caught up.

Aces High posted:Going back to that stuff about Lelouch being dead, yes I can understand that that is part of growing up but I still don't think that Lelouch would fake his own death. I just don't think someone with his convictions would even consider that possibility, but hey I've only watched this series once so I'm not a huge expert. Nah, you are right. He basically told us in the first episode that this was a suicide mission. It's just the internet being silly.

The main problem with the China arc was that they didn't bother making it into a place, instead dicking around inside Ashford academy some more.

PiedPiper posted:I think you're all reaching. The whole chess match was designed only with Rule of Cool in mind. The fact is, chess never caught on in Japan, so they don't really give a poo poo about these 'illegal moves' you're all talking about. And having characters play shogi or whatever wouldn't be thematically appropriate. Eh, that would make the scene completely pointless. Really the point is that he is too proud to take a free win. Nothing more. genericnick fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Oct 13, 2014 |

Kanos posted:I agree with this post except the bolded part. Suzaku has quite literally superhuman physical prowess(this is remarked upon several times, like when he outruns machine gun bullets), is a complete natural super ace pilot who can beat everyone in the entire setting except Kallen nearly effortlessly, and is portrayed as being nearly as incredibly smart as Lelouch(albeit not remotely as devious). He's not Regular Joe at all. Don't think so. He was portrayed as knowing Lelouch so not falling for his bullshit.

Watched it. It kind of worked as a nostalgia fest, but I dont't feel it has anything more to add. And it certainly weakens some of the themes that worked in the old series. cancelling the self-sacrifice, the increasingly monstrous nature of the geass, and the overall general forgiveness for LL by everyone Overall meh, but I'll probably watch more if the make it.
