Now for plot, umm....
Lelouch (who happens to be nicknamed Lulu :lol: ) killed Clovis at gunpoint. Then it's mostly intro to school related stuff which Karen, the girl who's part of the resistance movement in freeing Japan, is a student of. Obviously this brought some tensions between her and Lelouch. Also Lelouch discovered there's a limit of which he can control people's minds; he pretty much can't do it twice simulateneously on the same person.

The episode ended when the news said that Clovis is dead, and it was Suzaku who killed him. Obviously he's being framed.
Pretty good stuff here though Lelouch is seriously starting to remind me of Light from Death Note except that Lelouch is less paranoid.

Man, episode 4 really kicked ass! :D
Lelouch decided to free Suzaku by creating himself a persona known as Zero. With the help of Karen and another rebel, they were able to interupt Suzaku's transport to the courtroom. Though I have to say, Zero's introduction at front of the crowds was just damn awesome! 8-)

Unfortunetly, even though they were able to save Suzaku, the differences of beliefs between him and Zero caused Suzaku to go back to his captors. Episode ended when C.C. arrived.

Geass will mark the first time I've watched a CLAMP series. I just got throught episodes three and four. I've gotta say I love the whole 'evilish guy working to achieve noble goals/goodie two shoes working for the evil empire' dynamic. I'm curious to see where it will all lead.

Uhh, Code Geass is not really a CLAMP series; they were only involved in the original concept character designs.

Don't worry about it! Lots of people made the same mistake (which unfortunetly pissed off a bunch of old school mecha fans :lol: ).

But CLAMP does have mechas. Magic Knight Rayearth!

Ahhh, Code Geass episode 5 is brought to you by Pizza Hut!!! Remember, Pizza Hut supports the Rebellion! :P

We got some really interesting developments in this episode though.
For example, Suzaku is finally released from being accused of killing Clovis. He then catches a falling "Lacus Clyne"-esque girl named Yuffie, and later he gave her a tour around Area 11 and the "ghetto" area of Shinjuku. Oh, and by the way, Yuffie is a princess of Britannia, and Suzaku is now a student in Lelouch's school.

Meanwhile, that mysterious, green-haired who gave Lelouch that Geass power and then later got shot is now alive. And anyone who expects her to be one of those mindless, submissive female android type is SORELY mistaken. She calls herself C.C., and she has LOTS of spunk, very bitchy, and one heck of a backbone of which Lelouch got caught completely off guard. :lol:

And there seems to be a love triangle forming among Lelouch, Karen, and Shirley. :wink:
Man, this is such a fun series despite that whole nationalistic pride stuff that might cause one hell of a political ruckus.

It's good to show the egocentric Americans that other countries exist. I say, cheers for Pizza Hut and cheers for the Japanese nationalism.

Episode 6 proves that even though Lelouch may have similar characteristics as Light from Death Note, he's still human, and there's ALWAYS unaccountable variables! And MAN did he encountered is a rather hilarious matter. Hell, most of the episode was hilarious which is good in order to break some tension! :lol:
During when C.C. order ANOTHER pizza from Pizza Hut (which according to Lelouch, he's collecting points :lol:), that cat from last episode appeared again, and ran away WITH Zero's helmet! Lelouch surprised shriek was a FUI**ING WIN!!! :lol: :lol:

Even worse, when Millay found out that cat was running away (in hope that cat carries some embarrassing secrets of Lelouch), she order all clubs to stop what they're doing and catch that cat. The reward is getting a kiss from one of the student council members. And in the end Lelouch and Suzaku were able to capture it.
Oh there were some plot points presented as well so it wasn't a useless episode. :wink:
That female pilot Cornelia looks REALLY ruthless. Makes me wonder how Lelouch is going to deal with her when they encounter each other. Also there were tensions in the school ever since Suzaku became a new student.
This is seriously fun stuff! :D
