What are you watching now?

[Toriban]

Okay, so I spent most of a night and day watching Code Geass R2, and here's some of my thoughts as I was watching it, in no particular order.

"Uh, WTF restart?"
"So, when I went from S1 dub to S2 subs, Kallen became Karen?"
"TB Chinese guy kicks ass"
"Knights of Rounds, now THATS Engrish"
"Wanted criminals love pizza"
"Rolo's kinda cool"
"Scratch that, Rolo's a douche"
"Correction, Lelouch is a douche (hehe Ledouche)"
"Jeremiah is important to the plot? Since when?"
"Alright, this is getting rather...contrived"
"Ninja maid? ...this development brings the awesomeness of this show into question"
"And nuking the cripple just knocked it back into position"
"The cripple nuking people back is making it better."
"ZOMG betrayal!!"
"Rolo is now completely irredeemable"
"Okay, now Rolo is the coolest frickin thing ever"
"Alright, so far I've seen: Command Geass, Mind Read Geass, Future Sight Geass, Dispel Geass, Time Stop Geass, Retcon Geass, Puppet Geass, and Contrived Deus ex Machina Geass"

As for the ending, I was starting to figure that Lelouch was getting mind-f@cked a little too much throughout R2 for him to have a truly happy ending. So, I think that overall, the ending is acceptable, but not exactly great or awesome or anything. Mostly "Meh, it could've gone a different way, but this is what we're stuck with."


My initial reaction to Eden of the East: the OP is in English. That's just weird. And when American characters are speaking, they actually speak English. Freaky.
