[Anime Review] Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

" The ending... totally beyond what I expected" - bezoe

It's been one year since the failure of the Black Rebellion and the supposed death of Zero. Britannia has assigned Area 11 a "correctional education" status, where Elevens are made an example of by brute force, to try to prevent any future uprisings and suppress rebellious thoughts. Unsuspecting high school student Lelouch, oblivious to his rebellious past as Zero, stumbles upon a scheme on his life and the life of a mysterious woman known as C.C., who reveals to him his forgotten purpose and his "true" self. Destroying his assailants and declaring himself Zero once again, Lelouch sets out to finish what he started.

Finally!, the uncertain ending from R1 has been unveiled in the R2. I will say the story of Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 is beyond awesome. From a just a mere student, to a become Zero, and finally reach his final ambition. A lot of drama and betrayal in this anime, plus a very great ending.

Character designs still great as the 1st series, but now even more greater because of the new cast. The Knigh of Round and also Rolo. C.C still got my vote though =)

Animation wise was top notch, the battle scene and the smoothness of the anime is 1st grade. Expression of all character also needs to be give thumbs up.

Music? I barelly pay too much attention for the ost of this 2nd, season. Not that is bad, it just because the story is too good, I skipped a lot of OP and ED in order to see the anime =p. But as far as I remember, the OP ost pretty good.

Bottom Line: It is a must watch anime. (It even made me invented a new rating system =D)

OVERALL RATING : A
(A gold rating will be applied not only this anime, but also all Anime that I think deserve it. More explaination will be on the news that I will post in the next couple days. Make sure to check the changing)

[Anime Review] Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion S1

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion S1

"Instantly fall in love with the series from the beginning" -bezoe

After the invasion of Japan by the Brittannian Empire, the country is renamed to "Area 11". The young Lelouch, a Brittannian student living in Japan, accidentally gets caught up in a local terrorist attack against Brittannia, reuniting with his childhood friend Suzaku as well as meeting the mysterious girl C.C. Cornered in a life and death situation, Lelouch accepts a power C.C. offers to him, the ability to order anyone to do anything. Harboring a thirst for revenge against the Brittanian Empire for their actions against his family, Lelouch wages war against the Empire. Using his newfound power and tactical ability, Lelouch goes under the alias Zero in attempts to fulfill his childhood vow, to destroy Brittannia! - myanimelist

Story of Code Geass is one of the strong point beside the animation and the characters design. I like the story of the clash between Britannia and Rebel that lead by Zero, and the way that Zero command his rebel army to fight againts the Britannian. Not only that, I also like the back story of what is the purpose of Zero doing this beside destroying Britania. From start till the end of the season, I really got hooked up with this anime.

Character design, I like Clamp's character style (especially Magic Knight RayEarth) for Code Geass (Even though probably the character was waaay too skinny for a real human, but all of the character design looks superb). The Mecha design probably not the greatest, but its fit the purpose

Code Geass animation was really nice for a tv series. Its not choppy, and well made. The battle scene was really good and the special effect also pretty much "A" quality

I love the 1st OP ost, 1st ED, and 2nd ED for 1st season. I hope the 2nd season have a good music aswell (as I'm probably going to start watch the 2nd season this upcoming week)

Bottom Line: You love Mecha? then you definitely need to see this

Overall Rating: A- (The only reason I gave it A- because of the ending... its unfinished and I think it will carry to the 2nd season)

Favorite Characters:
#1. C.C (yum... Pizza)



















#2. Kallen Kozuki / Stadtfeld (Tough Girl? hell yes!)

















#3. Villetta Nu (look at those hair and eyes)






















#4. Cécile Croomy (she is actually pretty cute)

[Anime Review] Kannazuki No Miko

Kannazuki No Miko

"Gundam-like with Yuri? interesting" -bezoe

The highborn Himemiya Chikane is cool and aloof, the perfect young lady of good breeding. Kurusegawa Himeko is devoted to her, and secretly her friend. Their lives are undisturbed in their school, until an ancient evil suddenly rears its head. To combat it, Chikane and Himeko must take on the roles of shrine maidens of the Moon and Sun.

Good things this Yuri type anime did not scare me away like the last one, probably that is the 1st things that comes to my mind after I finished the series. The storyline was really interesting at least in my opinion, but I felt theres couple of plot holes in the story at the beginning of the series, plus there's lack of characters backgrounds, most of the enemies background only got like 1 flashback for the entire series. But fortunately, I like the Yuri love story on this one, its like we can really feel the character feelings.

Action scene was pretty plain and generic, the battle and also the mechas/robots design was just ok. Think about it sort of like Gundam and add a bit of magical elements. The animation was pretty choppy both for the battle scene and also the standard scene.

Character was an OK design, not so great but not bad either. Its a type of characters that probably I will forget in a month because of the lack info regarding the characters background. But I must admit its pretty tho...

OP and especially ED ost was very addicting. I love most of Kotoko anime ost songs (after listening to the OP & ED, I try to find who's the singer and I just realized that most of my favorite anime ost was by Kotoko)

Bottom line, I like the anime and I will recommend for Yuri lover, but for Mecha lover, don't expect too much, just enjoy the story :)

Overall Ratings: A--

#1. Chikane Himemiya (Very Noble)

#2. Corona (I wish we get more background about her)
