Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion

This section is for the rational discussion of anime on a series basis. Spoilers should be expected, but please be courteous to your fellow users.

Orgasmic. And of course, no questions are answered.

What's bothering me the most is:
[spoiler]Those Brittanian soldiers were after C.C. Obviously, they were ordered to find her, and whoever ordered them to find her must have also been the one to tell them that they could get to her by using Lelouch as bait. This means that whoever issued the order knew that C.C. and Lelouch were in contact and likely that Lelouch was Zero. However, upon seeing C.C., the soldiers attempted to kill her. This means that the one who issued the order did not know that C.C. was immortal. How could they not know her immortality knowing as much as they did already? If they did know, they would have attempted to "capture" her rather than kill, as it would be much easier. Also, with C.C. as valuble as she is, I can't think of a reason to order her termination rather than capture.[/spoiler]
That part didn't make much sense to me.

So... I guess animes*ki isn't going to be showing this series on their list since the first season is licensed. I was always under the impression that adding adding something to the end of the title made it a new license. After all, they showed Higurashi Kai and Shana II. Were they allowed because Geneon USA faulted?

Or is the website just being slow? :?

[spoiler] perhaps it was a scheme of Suzaku and V.V. Makes sense since Suzaku now appears to want to kill Lulu, knows his identity as Zero and has also seen C.C. and Lulu together on more than one occasion (yeah, one of those was the first episode...but still) I'm guessing that V.V. could and would fill in the blanks. Suzaku didn't see the BOOM! HEADSHOT in the first ep of s1 either, which may explain why the soldiers didn't know that guns wouldn't work[/spoiler] pure speculation...but it makes sense

My thoughts
[spoiler]I don't think the emperor would have told the Baron of C.C.'s immortality (Baron was acting on his orders). That would have caused some panic in the ranks, no? He probably just ordered him to bring her back, and the Baron assumed dead or alive. I doubt the emp thought that C.C. would be captured so easily, ut he probably has his own reasons.

The OP shows him having a geass, right?[/spoiler]

short answer: yes, watch it now. all 27 episodes in one sitting if at all possible.
if all 27 in one sitting isn't possible, skip the recap episodes (8.5 and 17.5 IIRC)
be prepared to laugh maniacally

F*cking finally.

After watching it, I have confirmed my theory from the first season.

[spoiler]It appears lelouch's father also has the geass, which pretty much means that he used it on lelouch's mother to kill her off. The OP actually contains a huge number of hints for later on, but what I was most looking forward to seeing is that lelouch builds another huge army, this time it will probably be one that can defeat britannia.[/spoiler]

Ahh man, the animation level was top notch. Can't freakin wait for ep 2.

p.s. the OP was "meh" though the animation was great, I didn't really like the song. Maybe it will grow on me, maybe. The ED was awesome, I loved the song and the illustrations they used, win d('-'d)

Seconded. This new season is going to be everything we hoped for - I'm sure of it. I don't care if Zero's dialogue goes slightly over-the-top in places because he is just so entertaining and awesome (I suppose in the same kinda way that people cheered for Light's plans in DN). What I'm looking forward to most is finding out what actually went on in the gap between S1 and S2...

Watched the 1st episode too and it filled me with more questions than answers.
Still,it had the same feeling as the 1st episode from the first season(which was marvellous) with almost exactly the same things happening.And boy,how I enjoyed Lelouch admiring himself... 8-) 8-)
Totally reminds me of Light from Death Note.

But the question now is:
Should I wait for the 2nd season to finish and watch it in 1 day just like I did with the 1st season(good times!!) or should I watch week per week?
Ahh,the real problems in life... :D

Episode 2, GO!

Waiting on eclipse to sub the raws, but for now we have found out:

[spoiler]lulu's father has geass in both eyes!
Rolo also has a geass, in his right eye.
Also, zero's back! I mean, he was back in the first episode, but now the whole world knows he's still alive.[/spoiler]

Lastly:
