Poggers, I have time to actually watch some anime. I should watch Code Geass R2 more since we still have the podcast to do on it, but it's been ages since I shat on Death Note, so we'll be doing that later For now this is Code: Starting life in another world from Gaess THREAD
-
I have to summarize episode 6 since I watched it without y'all. lemme scrub through the episode to remember what was bad about it
-
this isn't even the bullshit yet lemme keep going
-
what in colonization
-
I think it's time for episode 7 that's about all the bullshit. Lelouch tries to recruit Nunaly but she's all "no I wanna do liberalism" and then fuckin Suzaku "el conquistador" Kururugi swoops in and takes her away
-
I had to actively stop myself from just rewatching that whole episode of Deca Dence, btw
-
something that the show has brought up is that, Lelouch at this point has everything he wants. Nunaly is royalty and in power, so she's capable of creating the world she desires. She's also safe because she's on the king's good side
-
Lelouch, who was never really invested in the idea of national liberation in the first place, now has no stake in the plot. Because the show is... poorly written and not well thought-out
-
Kill la Kill had this problem too. Ryuuko never really cared about ending fascism, she just wanted to kill the person who killed her dad. But Kill la KIll is more thought-through than Code Geass, in that...
-
...KlK makes sure to make the people who killed Ryuuko's dad the new, bigger fascists, so that at least she stays invested in the actual story taking place. My opinion of Kill la KIll is also fairly low btw
-
"In the special zone, Brittanians and Numbers would have equal status" why would she say the the slur when "in the special zone, n*ggers and whites would have equal status" see how it sounds?
-
"elevens would be allowed to call themselves Japanese" that is the most condescending thing I have ever heard
-
See, in a better show, again just like with the first time Code Geass did this, the show would talk about how this is an obvious attempt by empire to control opposition. By incorporating the main armed resistance back into the state. But Code Geass is so fucking stupid
-
man she is fucking desperate she's BEGGING him to take away her autonomy she's just Raphtalia
-
(I still have all the assets from my Shield Hero essay I just keep them)
-
oh my god
-
you know I was worried because R2 in general isn't as bad as R1 that I wouldn't have things to say but wow yeah we really poppin off rn this shit sucks
-
I really hate how the show presents the special administrative zone as the solution to peace... again If you know anything about, like US reservations or occupied Palestine it's not. And I already talked about this in the R1 threads so
-
he wants to go back to school
-
okay so Lelouch has found another reason to care about the plot. It better be passable
-
why would I care about who are useless without Zero and proud of it?
-
he's joining the fucking special zone?
-
gkjsafoierprehwef quit playin
-
episode 7 is peak bullshit I def need a break so we're doing Death Note next
