Okay I just finished watching the entirety of Code Geass.
I'm... still not crying. Still not feeling the burn. Or anything at all, really. It's just sorta of... deadfishy for me? I don't know.
Throughout the whole series, R1 and R2, I don't feel a single thing about the characters. There's no one that I can actually... grab and connect with. Cornelia was a close call, but then she went missing for a long while and lost her awesome when she returned. Schneizel was fucking awesome until he got Geass'd and I was headbanging so hard.
/siiiiigh
Oh, and Lelouch? sfdgfh Tsundere never did anything for me. I go for the genuine bastards, I suppose. The cold, calm, collected manipulator who rarely lose their cool, and who have one weakness that isn't easily seen or exploited. Code Geass didn't have anyone near enough, I think. And it's a bit too much... tell not show? Especially Schneizel - that part was so rushed, omg.
The plot though? Is goddamn awesome. A tiny thing like Refrain in R1 - I thought that ep was filler and made for Kallan-angst - was picked up again in R2. But the end was seriously so goddamn rushed that it just... sped by me and I ended up going BWUH WTF instead of BAWWWW. /siiiigh
And the biggest thing I have with it is that THE CHARACTERS' MOTIVATIONS DON'T MAKE SENSE. Jeremiah, especially. Schneizel. Cornelia. VILETTA. Nunnally (wtf SUDDEN EYES OPENING WTFFF). SUZAKU. The jumps they make from a -> b was so... I don't see how these people's minds work so they went from doing THIS to THAT and it makes me foam in the mouth. It's especially bad in R2, I swear.
Maybe I just need to watch it again. When I'm free. Meanwhile.
