Episode 5 Preview (Images)

[Sasuke X]

I was just browsing 4chan and noticed this. Another leak?

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6466/1208951629120ox1.jpg

The images confirm Suzaku goes back to Ashford. The images also show that Rollo, as expected, is alive and well.

The episode itself looks utter shit, made up entirely of Ashford crap.

[Rokudaime]

Nice find, Sasuke X.

But then, the episode I most looking forward is episode 4...It must be very epic episode...Zero fighting with mecha.you know...:laugh

and about the preview for episode 6, it look like filler quality to me..:notrust

Wait a minute..did I saw Anya in episode 5?...Ok, that episode definitely is a good episode.:nuts:nuts

[Graham Aker]

Fake.

Lawl @ Nina' orange hair.

[Sasuke X]

It looks very real to me.

[Graham Aker]

No its faaake! I refuse to believe they didn't had a knife fight the instant they saw each other. :cry

Ah well, its probably real. Just checked on AS and the spoiler guy didn't put a "fake" stamp on it. Actually had some additions that pretty much fucked Lelouch' "just as planned".

[Sasuke X]

I just read a very interesting spoiler on AS...

It seems like it's been confirmed that Nunnally will be the new governor of Area 11!

That's certainly an interesting twist, one I hadn't expected. Damn spoilers ruining it for me. :(

The heck...

So the emperor want Lulu and Nunally fighting among each other? I wonder what would Lulu do if Nunnaly ( assume she become evil or brainwashed) ask him to kill to destroy the Japanese?

[Graham Aker]

I just read a very interesting spoiler on AS...

Fucking Lelouch' plans in a wheelchair ftw!

Area 11 will become a better place now, thanks to Suzaku and Nunnally. Suzaku won.

[Rokudaime]

Fucking Lelouch' plans in a wheelchair ftw!

Area 11 will become a better place now, thanks to Suzaku and Nunnally. Suzaku won.

The epic battle between Good/Light Vs Evil/Dark going to start..I felt sorry for Lulu though since Light going to triumph over Dark in anime law...

So basically, we just going to watch 20+ episode where Lulu and the rest of OBK got pwned over and over again? smile-big

yeah..Suzaku won..:cry

[Soul Vibe]

How do you Geass a blind person? :zaru

[Sasuke X]

Basically, this season will now not leave Japan - We're going to be treated to a full season of LelouchxSuzaku at school, Lelouch being emo about fighting his sister during his Zero periods and Kallen showing her boobs every other episode. Joy.

Sunrise are unimaginative bastards who only know how to start a series and not end it.

Whoa. That's one hell of a plot twist. If it is indeed true, I can't wait to see it happen. It would be fucking interesting to see how Lelouch will react to that.

[Sasuke X]

How do you Geass a blind person? :zaru

Hold open their eye and stare into it?

Being able to see isn't a requirement; all a geass user needs is a clear sight of a persons eye.

[Somnus]

I hope Lelouch kills Nunnaly the same way he killed Euphie :LOS

[Graham Aker]

Kallen showing her boobs every other episode.
More useless Kallen fanservice = :facepalm


Well, get ready for R3, gents. April 2009.

@Espada
She's not blind.

[Detonator_Fan]

Guys, guys...
I see Anya in one of those pics.
That alone makes the episode win.

[Rokudaime]

I hope Lelouch kills Nunnaly the same way he killed Euphie :LOS

I can see that happening..Probably in the same episode as S1, you know, episode 22.

Lulu : Nunnally, you know, if I am making a joke like asking you to kill all Britannia, you will do since it...*Geass Level-Up* and * geassed Nunnally*

Nunnaly : yeah, your highness ! All britannia must die ! * Run away*:oh

Lulu : holy-shi*..What have I done?...Well, I guess it is ok since my sister at my side for now..Oh wait..this isnt right..NO!!! NUNALLY !!!!!!!!!...:nuts

[Sasuke X]

She's not blind.

She isn't?

Well, I suppose if it's her memories causing her to not be able to see or walk, if her memories were to be changed....

[FreeFocus]

Wow, some of that sounds pretty bad. If those plot twists are true, CG is really going down the shitter, honestly. :mad

[Graham Aker]

She isn't?

Her supposed "blindness", was the results of seeing Marianne getting shot full of bullets and all bloodied up in front of her. After that incident, she has never opened her eyes again.

So if the Emperor Geassed her, well one can only imagine how awful that scene looked.

He grabs her little head and forces her eyes open while she tries to struggle and take his hands off, maybe falling off while she's at it, and trying crawl away only for the emperor to grab her again. Tears streaking down from her eyes like waterfalls, calling for Lelouch to save her. Kinda like getting raped.

[Riffraff]

Agreed, that sounds really bad. They're just rumors anyway.

[Sasuke X]

There have been EP2-5 summaries out for ages that confirmed the Suzaku spoiler. I'm not sure if the EP4-5 summaries also confirmed the Nunnally spoiler; I haven't read the summaries... I'm guessing it was revealed since people on AS are talking about the Nunnally spoiler like it's a fact.

I remember reading ages ago about the EP5 storyboards being leaked and sold on eBay many months before S2 even aired, so the summaries that came out only confirmed what was already rumoured at that stage.

[FreeFocus]

If the Emperor geass'd Lelouch and made him forget about Nunally, perhaps he geass'd Nunally and made her forget about Lelouch. That may be slightly interesting if she was made Governor and didn't remember Lelouch..still not a fan of that story turn, though.

[Somnus]

I don't see why the spoilers are bad, it even makes the things better ,even if it is a copy of the first season, if we get a Governor Nunnally so soon, by the time of ep 15 everything must be very "advanced" plot wise

[Sasuke X]

It's bad because it seems certain now this series won't be the end of Code Geass.

- Repeating what happened in S1, with added twists.
- Making Ashford return to add filler in order to slow down the plot to allow a 3rd season.
- Putting Suzaku back at Ashford to drag things out further, forcing us to watch them act like they don't know each other.
- Making Nunnally the governor of Area 11 to make Lelouch hesitant and slow the plot progression down further. I look forward to a repeat of what happened with Euphy in E22 of S1.

...everything is being done to drag the series out for as long as possible.

The Nunnally twist is rather interesting, sure, but it almost certainly means there will be a 3rd season now and S2 will be focused on Lelouch trying to take over Japan while saving Nunnally from herself.

[Rokudaime]

It pretty fcked, isnt it?

Why must Lulu always have to face so much obstacle everytime he going to win...How many of his plan actually work..Most of them usually got interupted..Pity lulu.

[Prince Leon]

Sounds like episode 5 will be another awesome episode. :amuse

[Sasuke X]

Sounds like episode 5 will be another awesome episode. :amuse

Die... In a fire.

[Prince Leon]

Die... In a fire.

Well excuse me for being excited and not being a critic who must have everything detailed to his/her "perfect" image. :zaru

If you hate it then that's your problem, not mine. I've been loving Geass since the first episode (and every episode since then) of the first season and that's not likely to change any time soon.

[2Shea]

Sounds like episode 5 will be another awesome episode. :amuse

Qft. Looking good to me :nod

Die... In a fire.

Lawl. Way too critical of it my friend, it is just an anime :laugh
It will still be good, just get over all of these presumptive notions that it's the best thing since sliced bread. I love Geass, but I love it for it's amazingly high points, and it's low points too. To me it's good overall, and that's what matters :wink

[Rokudaime]

Sounds like episode 5 will be another awesome episode. :amuse

Of course since Anya is there as well..:wink

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

About episode 5:
The most interesting thing about it is Suzaku meeting Lelouch, I guess. I can't help but feel that it's all rather strange with them beign the enemies that they are now and still we have them interacting almost as if nothing happened :doh

About the Nunnally thing:
If it's true, then it's quite the twist indeed.. and it's going to make things harder for Lelouch, especially if the emperor has geassed her too (if that's all, however, there's possible solutions though - maybe CC could do something about it, for example). I do hope it won't slow down the plot of Code Geass though or lead to a third season - if it does, then I can't help but get the feeling that code geass is becoming little more than a cash cow.. :(

[Wesley]

Nunnally surely sounds like the worst part of this show.

[Graham Aker]

^Ever since season 1. Always getting in the way.


Anyway, I wonder how Lelouch is going to get out of this pinch.

Nunnally and Suzaku will change Japan, they'll reorganise Euphemia' Nippon. No more reason for the OBK to exist.

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

Anyway, I wonder how Lelouch is going to get out of this pinch.

Nunnally and Suzaku will change Japan, they'll reorganise Euphemia' Nippon. No more reason for the OBK to exist.

If Nunnally has been Geassed, the solution may be simple enough; have CC get in contact with her and break the seal like she did with Lelouch, if this is indeed possible - that way, if she remembers Lelouch again, she could probably easily enough be persauded to leave her position to come with Lelouch. If not, then there's still other solutions, such as geassing her into forgetting the past year she was kidnapped, thus... There's other solutions as well, but I do at least hope we won't get a repeat of the Euphie bloodbath :doh

[Prince Leon]

Nunnally and Suzaku will change Japan, they'll reorganise Euphemia' Nippon. No more reason for the OBK to exist.

That's almost as likely as Nina becoming straight and falling in love with a Japanese man. In other words: ZERO-DA! :awesome

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

That's almost as likely as Nina becoming straight and falling in love with a Japanese man. In other words: ZERO-DA! :awesome

Heh :laugh . Well, it's still just a rumor, so I suppose we shouldn't get too excited/angry/whatever about it until it really happens...

[Severnaruto]

Wow, it's gonna be a repeat of season 1 all over again.

Ep 23-ish, I'm expecting Lelouch to kill Nunnally, just like Euphie's death, if she does indeed become the governor. And guess what--he'll be facing Nunnally, and his geass will suddenly evolve and it'll 'accidentally' affect her without eye contact. If that comes true, Sunrise--epic, epic failure.

[xpto]

Man, you guys are really paranoid. Just a little thing and you're all "AH MAN THAT SUCKS SHITSUX, NEVER GONNA WATCH CODE GEASS AGAIN YADDA YADDA YADDA"

Just try to: wait, see the episode and please, PLEASE, stop bitching.

[mechunter]

The Nunnally spoiler is NOT currently confirmed (It's just a rumor at this point), but I believe the pictures are.

[Wesley]

It'll be earlier than that. Lulu's in it for the wrong reasons, and it's just what he deserves. Of course, having no moral compass and a huge ego, he'll simply become more evil and badass, rather than actually dedicated to his cause.

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

IF that indeed happens then Sunrise has offically failed with Code geass and have furthermore offically proven themselves to be unable to be creative :notrust

[Alekzu]

Oh, no! I did not just read that spoiler about Nunnally! What the....?! And the worst part is that I believe it, considering that she really looks like a princess on the pictures we've seen on her so far.... :cry The emperor is indeed an evil man....

Episode 5 sure looks like it'll be an awesome episode. I hope Lloyd gets to join the party as well. smile-big

[superman_1]

from the preview pic... majority of the episode seems full of ashford filler crap........ dammit we need more action.....

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

The emperor is indeed an evil man....

I bet that the emperor has done it in order to force Lelouch to in one way or another kill her so that Lelouch will become ever more evil :zaru
... I hope that it's not true and that it doesn't happen if it's indeed true though :cry

[Detonator_Fan]

Of coruse since Anya is there as well..:wink

True.
The mere presence of Anya makes episode 5 a 10/10 in my book.

[Rukia]

Oh fuck...get off CC's back. Her disguise is perfect.

Looks like an interesting episode though. lmao @ imagining Lelouch acting. He will continue to play stupid regarding his 'Zero' persona. That should be highly entertaining.

[Rukia]

Nunnally surely sounds like the worst part of this show.Amen. Nunnally is a useless bitch.

[Prince Leon]

Why am I not surprised that you two are talking about something that's not true...

Again. :zaru

[Rukia]

Why am I not surprised that you two are talking about something that's not true...

Again. :zaruHow is it not true? I certainly can't think of a worse character. Nunnally contributes nothing. She knows more than she claims about what went down with Marianne. She recognized her brother's voice when he gave speeches as Zero...once again she chose not to intervene. Her eyes and legs are fine...but she chooses to be disabled because it's convenient. She enjoyed having her brother take care of her. Probably at least 45 minutes of screen time during season 1 was wasted on her. She didn't do a single cool thing. She got kidnapped on multiple occasions. That new spoiler regarding her is an absolute fucking outrage.What the fuck has she done to deserve being the new Governor General? She can make origami cranes...that's the extent of her intelligence. Lelouch would mop her ass up on the battlefield. How old is she even? It's complete bullshit. I hope that twist gets killed this season. The sooner the better. :mad

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

Why am I not surprised that you two are talking about something that's not true...

Again. :zaru

Well.. for now, at least. For the time being, the "Nunnally will become Area 11's govenor" rumor is just about as true as the rumor that "Suzaku will do something this season that'll make him want to commit suicide" <_<.

[Saruto]

Lol, Nunally being the Gov. of Area 11 is kinda outrageous...which WHY I WANNA SEE IT HAPPEN. I love how people are predicting the outcome of episode 23 based on an EPISODE 5 SPOILER! We haven't even seen 4 yet lol.

[Nominal23]

I'm with Leon, looks like it'll be another great episode, along with the others this season.

Nunally being governor or Area 11 sounds interesting. She might just be a face to politics, like Euphie was. I really don't see her being able to do anything other than sit in her chair and fold paper. :(

Man, you guys are really paranoid. Just a little thing and you're all "AH MAN THAT SUCKS SHITSUX, NEVER GONNA WATCH CODE GEASS AGAIN YADDA YADDA YADDA"

Just try to: wait, see the episode and please, PLEASE, stop bitching.

Also, this. :LOS

EDIT:

I still haven't watch the series, but it sounds like the typical damsel-in-distress serving as a major motivator the "protagonist" dynamic. Possibly some mischief involved with her character, but it could be so much smoke and mirrors, and even if it isn't it'll still only serve as a motivator for the protagonist in one fo m or another.

Though I suppose she shouldn't be blamed. I pegged Lulu as one of those main characters that everything within a story exists to feed and serve when I first saw him. Like Simon from TTGL.

[Sasuke X]

Most people really are too easily pleased. Shippuuden has proved this already, but I expected the Code Geass viewers to not just be happy with whatever Sunrise produce as long as it's called Code Geass, my assumption being that Code Geass viewers would be more intelligent.

I, on the other hand, feel quite pissed off about S2 being a repeat of S1, each of the episodes seemingly being based on 1-25 of S1, and the plot going backwards more than it's going forwards. As I've said many times, I wanted progression, I wanted the war to start on a worldwide scale, I wanted unnecessary elements such as Ashford to be removed - I don't think my expectations were that high.

Code Geass MIGHT still turn it around if the Ashford crap isn't there for the entire series and only around half of the series is wasted on Lelouch taking over Japan. However, I just can't see it when Sunrise seem very happy to repeat each and every episode of S1 as much as they can without the episodes being identical.

Back on topic...

In the only pictures shown of her so far, she's still got her eyes closed and is still in her wheelchair. Unless she's been cured, I don't get how she's meant to actually govern anything...unless she's simply going to be a puppet leader that's there to make Lelouch hesitant and nothing more.

It's interesting: If she has been geassed, surely her problems would've been cured due to them being linked to her memories?

[Wesley]

^ Hey, you don't have to be stupid to enjoy mediocre story-telling, and it's not like you've got people lining up to disagree with you. Most of the time they just say they don't mind right? So no need to act like you know your shit, okay? You're just being more critical than everyone else, which is fine but doesn't it doesn't give you the right to imply others aren't as smart as you are.

Though I do understand seeing "10/10s" all the time will wear on you.

[Amatsu]

What's so bad about school stuff? I just don't get why everyone hates it. I rather enjoy it since it'd be boring if it was just fighting all the time.

I'm seriously not trying to be a dick here, but why are you active in the forum of a series you haven't even watched? You seem like an intelligent guy, yet you prefer to discuss stuff with no knowledge about it outside of word of mouth...

And, yes, the 10/10 thing is the main reason for my annoyance. Look what, after 3 episodes, is the 4th highest rated series of all time on MAL with 2007 votes: http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?id=2904

You're too negative, even if the second season is repeating the format of the first until now, it already has many changes, they already formed a country, have all suport they had to get in the first season, just because Suzaku returns that doesn't mean Zero can't fight beyond Area 11. And if Nunnally spoiler is right, their "copying" Euphie part +/- 15 episodes early than season 1

And I'll just LOL for a moment at 'choosing to be disabled'. No one chooses to be disabled for years. Not even if she was the true evil behind everything which is almost as likely as Anya joining the OBK and marrying Lelouch. :awesome

So what you're trying to say is that people who enjoy the current Geass are too easily pleased and stupid, right? Sad to say, not everyone has been "wronged" by Sunrise as you have to feel the same way you do. If I criticized everything that I watched like a hawk/on the level that you do, I'd never get to enjoy anything I read or watch, let alone anime/manga.

I agree, although sometimes it's just fun to bitch about something rather than sit back and enjoy it. Especially when there's bishies and politics to consider.

Look in the Shippuuden forum and see how many intelligent looking members rate each episode 10/10. Then, compare them with the small amount of people who come across as intelligent when complaining.

It's obvious that the less intelligent a person is the more easily pleased they are going to be. A complete idiot would be happy to sit through mindless action without issue and not be able to do the same with a more intelligent show that doesn't rely on action to drive it.

Please, argue with me, informing me how S2 has improved on S1 outside of the visual and sounds areas. It's an imitation with added twists; nothing more.

[Rukia]

Ooii, Rukia, did you see who is in one of the pics?Of course. I'm not blind. I can see already that I will be begging for an Anya GIF after that episode. She looks great. Her outfit is probably why those screenshots were leaked in the first place. :nod

Anya really will join the Black Knights when she discovers that Lelouch Vie Britannia is Zero. :sun

[Amatsu]

Meh I'm thinking people wanted Lelouch to suddenly jump into fighting against the whole world from episode 2 on. That's fanfiction talk geez. Besides the school stuff is fun. If people are that unhappy with it then stick with your yearly Gundam series or something where it's all about fighting mechas. Some of us just aren't into that.

What people probably wanted was a natural progression in the course of events. Like, they wanted Lulu to leave that part of his life behind. On to bigger and better things! That sort of thing.

How can he do that when he's been under surveillance? If he did that it'd be obvious that he was awaken. Lelouch even said it himself that he couldn't move around easily as long as he was being watched since that might put Nunally in danger.

[Rurushu]

:facepalm Episode five seems like we get to see more of Milly and her crap with making everything so whismical and happy.

[Sasuke X]

You're missing the point: The plot has gone in a direction that's made it logical for Lelouch to stay at Ashford and act like friends with Suzaku. It didn't have to.

For the plot to have progressed, the series would've started where S1 ended and Lelouch wouldn't have lost his memories.

You had a cliff-hanger ending last season right? They completely left things wideopen, but instead of progression they seem to have taken a familiar road with a couple new twists added in.

Zino and Anya are in this episode! :nuts

[Shiraishi]

Btw, forgive me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't EP5 of S1 the cat hunt episode - The one where Suzaku got to know everyone?

What kind of faggotry is this?

Sunrise better have a damn good reason to why Suzaku is back in school. And it better not just be "WE NEED SURVEILLANCE GUYZ!!11!!" and implied yaoi


Though I think some of you guys are being way too critical. I've seen shit (lots of it) and this is far from it. CG is well above mediocre and you're simply being ignorant if you think R2 is some pile of crap.

This the shit I don't get,Suzaku and the Emperor know Zero's identity. Why the hell do they stay quiet about it?

[xpto]

Part of the Emperor's major plan? :zaru

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

This the shit I don't get,Suzaku and the Emperor know Zero's identity. Why the hell do they stay quiet about it?

That's the big mystrery, indeed. One possibility is that it fits the emperor's plan better if his identity remains unknown. I've also heard someone suggest that they CANNOT reveal it, because if they did, the emperor would lose support among his own even (think about it, the possibly most dangerous rebel the empire ever has faced was in their hands, but instead of executing him they give him a new chance to roam around, and as the icling - or possibly the strawberry :nod - on the cake, he's a former brittanian prince to boot). So revealing it might not be the best idea from that perspective.

[Detonator_Fan]

Of course. I'm not blind. I can see already that I will be begging for an Anya GIF after that episode. She looks great. Her outfit is probably why those screenshots were leaked in the first place. :nod

True.
I just hope that the guys at Sunrise read this forum, so maybe they will have a few episodes of Anya in the beach.

So Lelouch should have killed Suzaku and all that? Yeah that obviously would work out since Lelouch wouldn't have anymore rivals since Suzaku was dead and all.

They both shot at the same time and Kallen was behind Suzaku... They both could've ended up wounding each other and Kallen could've took the injured Lelouch and escaped, leaving Suzaku alive. In short, that event could have ended in numerous ways - You're being simple minded.

The Black Knights defeat could also have been handled in numerous ways. For example, they could've retreated and not suffered a total defeat.

I found Kallen running away to be stupid myself. No matter what her feelings, she knew Zero was needed if the Black Knights had any chance of winning, yet she decided to abandon him and allowed the Black Knights to lose.

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

Well, he did admit having used the japanese, but did at the same time also point out that as a result, Japan would be liberated, which was/is exactly what those who decided to join Lelouch (or rather Zero) wanted. Kallen probably realized that after she ran away, which is why she came back...

I don't think it's a pile of crap - S1 (as I've said before) is in my top 5 and S2 is a repeat of S1. Also, unlike S1, it's in HD and there's new music.

What I do think is that, so far at least, it's the most disappointing sequel I've ever seen - What sort of sequel repeats the original!?

Star Wars? <_< (of course it's the prequels rather than the sequels, but still..).

[2Shea]

Look in the Shippuuden forum and see how many intelligent looking members rate each episode 10/10. Then, compare them with the small amount of people who come across as intelligent when complaining.

It's obvious that the less intelligent a person is the more easily pleased they are going to be. A complete idiot would be happy to sit through mindless action without issue and not be able to do the same with a more intelligent show that doesn't rely on action to drive it.


Your only problem here is, that people that are arguing against you, and saying you are overly critical, aren't the group from the Naruto section. I hate Shippuden, it's the biggest pile of shit I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Kishimoto has ruined what was once a great series (at the very start) and I doubt I will ever watch any more of it again.

But even the worst of Geass/R2's episodes don't even compare to how bad Shippuden is.

It's really not repeating the original, you can argue that point all you want, but it's just really not. Having Ashford again =/= repeat, and Ashford =/= crap. That may be your opinion, but don't go waving it around like its fact.

But please, lets move away from the arguing and negativity, and just enjoy the series for what it is. I think it's way too early (OMG ONLY 3 EPISODES) for people to be passing these huge judgment.

[Fleecy]

I actually like the Ashford episodes... It takes a break from the whole dramatic mood. No anime is without a sprinkle of humor or a relaxed state somewhere.

[Sasuke X]

It's really not repeating the original, you can argue that point all you want, but it's just really not.

Episode 1, S1: Lelouch goes for a bike ride with Rivalz. Rivalz takes him to play chess against a noble, Lelouch winning. Lelouch gets caught up with terrorists, ending up witnessing a massacre. C.C., who Lelouch had rescued, is shot in the head by the Britannia solders who massacred the people in the room. Just when Lelouch is about to get killed, C.C. revived and gave Lelouch a geass. Lelouch used his geass to make the soldiers slaughter each other.

Episode 1, S2: Lelouch goes for a bike ride with his brother, Rollo. Rollo takes him to play against a famous chess player, who just so happens to be a member of the mafia. Lelouch wins and things turn ugly. Just then, terrorists attack and everyone panics. Lelouch gets separated from Rollo, ending up in a room where there's been some kind of massacre. C.C. appears, before being shot through the heart by Britannia soldiers. Just when Lelouch is about to be killed, C.C. revives and helps him remember his true identity; Zero. Lelouch regains his geass and uses it to make the soldiers kill themselves.

Episode 2, S1: A Britannia solder enters the hanger where the massacre took place in a Knightmare. Lelouch uses his geass on her, commanding her to give him her Knightmare. Once outside, Lelouch helps the terrorists he bumped into earlier defend against Britannia, commanding them like chess pieces. Suzaku, piloting a new super Knightmare, appeared when things were going too well, destroying most of the terrorists. Once the chance appeared, Lelouch used his geass to reach Clovis, a member of Britannia royalty and his brother, making him call off the attack on the terrorists. Lelouch kills Clovis.

Episode 2, S2: A Britannia soldier in a Knightmare appears just after Lelouch made the solders kill themselves. Lelouch used his geass to get the soldier to give him his Knightmare. Lelouch then starts commanding the terrorists, now working for him, like chess pieces, fighting off the Britannian attack. Rollo, piloting a new super Knightmare, appeared when things were going too well, taking out most of the terrorists. Before Lelouch is killed, his plan is carried out and, not only did it allow him to escape, it killed a member of the Britannian royalty.

I'd do EP3, but I can't remember EP3 of S1 well enough. Just like EP3 of S2, it seems it wasn't very memorable.

Going on the preview and situation Lelouch finds himself in, only having a small force, I'd bet money on EP4 of S2 being a near identical repeat of EP4 of S1.

No but your view in itself is fundamentally flawed (assuming that you're trying to be objective). Because objectively speaking, R2 is doing fine as of now. And it's fairly obvious that the episodes are similar to provide a juxtaposition between S1 and S2. I highly doubt that the director just decided to repeat S1 because he didn't have any other idea. (I might not believe in Sunrise but Goro Taniguchi is not that lame of a director)

Nunnaly: Onee-Chan ... Lulu : Who are you bitch ? Nunnaly: Nyoro~n

They know that Lelouch is Zero, yes - but it seems that it so far remains unknown if he has regained his memories or not. It amy be as you say - assumed that they have indeed told Nunnally about Lelouch being Zero.

I don't see how it was worse than EP3 when EP3 was an Ashford episode. Even if you think it was badly executed, at least it moved the plot forward a considerable amount and had no needless fluff dragging it down.

Let me predict my thoughts next Sunday:

What the fuck? 10/10 just because some random loli finally said more than a few words!? I don't get you guys... Instead of rating the actual episode, you give in to your inner child molester and rate it 10/10 for Anya alone, ignoring the episode sucking balls.

Episode 4 had me fooled. Everything I read beforehand made it sound like a terrific episode...it was pretty mediocre all things considered. Episode 3 on the other hand...was more interesting than expected. It looked like it was going to be a terrible episode beforehand...I had even seen the last 5 minutes because of the leak...but I still thought it turned out to be pretty decent.

I doubt anyone will give a strictly Ashford episode a perfect score.

Okay..it will happen, but I bet the average score will be around the 6-8 range. People are interested about the Suzaku/Lelouch interaction...but if people are like me...then they are more interested in episodes 6-8. (Anya will most likely be in these episodes as well. :lmao)

If your expectations were raised for EP4 it's understandable why your disappointment made you view it more negatively.

I found EP4 odd - It had less (or rather, more surprising) repeats and the focus was near enough 100% on the plot this time...yet I didn't enjoy it as much as EP1 or EP2. I couldn't decide what to rate it, ending up giving it a 9 due to it not really feeling like a repeat of episode Orange from S1. Thinking about it, I probably should have given it 8/10 instead.

I just hope we see less Ashford and more originality soon. My ratings are only going to get lower if the show disappoints when the plot revelations start being thrown about.
