I'm excited, since it's starting on CN next week. Though I am tired of Johnny Yong Bosch and Crispin Freeman being in every single dub ever made ever.
on the topic of Season 2
If R2 ends in a cliffhanger, I hope it doesn't come back in R3 where Lelouch has AMNESIA...again. It probably won't happen, but when writers use the amnesia card (from their author decks, which all writers have, LOOK IT UP) it's rarely a good sign for what's to come.
Suzaku doing the whole "Trade Lelouch for power" thing seems really out of character for Suzaku, and dumb. He's trying to overthrow douchbags by becoming a douchebag, that'll work out real well for him. I'm to pessimistic to have ever really liked him, but I could still understand his viewpoint. Now, however, he's just unlikable, which is rather unfortunate for Suzaku. Probably to play up the whole rivalry between Lulu and Suzaku, which will end in them being even greater friends or one of them dying in such a tragic way that the other becomes depressed, showing how the other felt really about the other.
I'm just grateful that there's a period in time where LuLuXSuza pairing cannot be canon.
Also why is it that unless she's at school, Kallen is acting as a medium for fanservice? There are plenty of other characters that have bewbs. Just send them all to the beach and *presto*
Now my gripes out of the way, I hope they keep with every season starting with Lelouch making a group of people kill themselves while saying "Yes, my Lord!"
It's so far kept with the cycle I liked in Code Geass
- Lelouch has something to deal with
- Lelouch does some shenanigans
- Lelouch cackles
Of course, it could diverge away from that, but I seriously doubt that, since R1 was rather consistent in that
