What are you watching now?

"Uh, WTF restart?"

Yeah, same reaction. I had to make sure I was watching the correct first episode because it made absolutely no sense to me until the last few minutes.

"So, when I went from S1 dub to S2 subs, Kallen became Karen?"

Official name is Kallen in either language, but in Japanese it's pronounced as "Karen". Whoever did the subs chose pronunciation over the official spelling of her name.

"Knights of Rounds, now THATS Engrish"

Interesting that we only know 7 out of the 12 members in the Knights of the Round.

"Wanted criminals love pizza"

Can't forget about Cheese-kun, Pizza-Hut Japan's official mascot!

"Jeremiah is important to the plot? Since when?"

Since he was called Orenji-kun in the first season and put in the OP sequence in the second.
I CONTINUE TO FIGHT! I CONTINUE TO FIIIIGGGHHHTTT!

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."

There was some speculation, while the credits rolled, that Lelouch was the one driving the wagon (Spoiler follows, highlight to read: or that because there's C2 and V2, with R2 there might be something about that...), but roughly 2 months later a magazine article (can't remember which) confirmed that this was not the case and what happened really in the last episode did happen. Sunrise is saying that a possible new season of Code Geass is "in the works" that's a spin-off with new original characters (or something along those lines).

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.

Heh. I still have Black Lagoon's Revy speaking her Engrish and/or Chrome Shelled Regios' hilarious Engrish scenes stuck in my head that are bad examples of voice actors speaking English lines, but I was pleasantly surprised with the studios hiring native English speakers.

By the way, Tengen Togga Gurren Lagann's a good show, recommended A+++++. Hot-blooded mecha action that's truly epic.
