And Lelouch doesn't have a god complex? If that's not what he has, he's got something really damn close. I was hoping for everything to come crashing down around him by the end of the series, and only partially got my wish.

I have no delusions of grandeur that it is gonna match the fabulousity of the original cartoon. It's just that Marcal and Akito are the worst "hurdurr I'm cool because I'm stoic and misunderstood" morons since Squall Leonhart.
Where were you yesterday when I needed help backing up my hatred of Akito? Haha.
I never really took this from Geass. He's just as bad, if not worse, given how petty his motivations are to begin with. Stuff like
Euphinator, damning Suzaku with an unnatural sense of self-preservation, interrupting a global status quo due to his sister, his increasing web of lies and the lengths he goes to maintain them, and violating his comrades with his ability
eventual comeuppance one way or another

I feel like people didn't like Akito cuz it didn't feel like Geass.

I was busy watching the keions. But now I'm done with the Akitoes.
It felt like the super gravitas-infused political part of Geass without the fun personalities surrounding the dumbness.
No he really doesn't. He repeatedly showed that he was willing to step aside if a solution could be found without him. I mean the
man sacrificed himself for to create a better world for everyone else.
Did CC have amnesia in the beginning?
Some of that stuff you can't really blame him for like the fallout from Suzaku as it was made with good intentions.
Through most of S1 at least, I always felt the writers wanted me to forgive his actions because he was trying to free Japan. I never, ever liked him as a character so I could never identify with that struggle.

I didn't make it past the first 2 episodes of Code Geass. I didn't like the MC and the premise seemed really contrived. Just rubbed me wrong, no interest in going back.
It still felt too much like CG for my tastes. It had the same problem of all the characters being either horrible people or stupid and the CGI ruined the pretty mech battles. All the bad, none of the good.

But that's what makes it so fucking fun.
It was time.
But its...its Lilly ;_;
They were never his people though, just a means to an end. That made the Euphie/Suzaku stuff all the more tragic as his arrogance undid a resolution he was content with. His screw-up there just led to more lies as he covered his ass and vilified Euphie.

You tell him, Mr. Reg-chan.
Not for me. I don't care if most of the cast is made up of those kinds of characters, but I need someone to latch onto and root for to keep me coming back. Why do I want to watch of show filled with people I hate? It will only make me angry. The only thing that kept me watching week to week was that I really liked the mech designs. Akito doesn't even have that. I think the Alexanders look terrible.
you're not the only one
I couldn't stand it, and only continued on the promise that shit gets cray
and it does
It was time.
That's sad to hear.
Only thing I got out of it was Viletta Nu.
The glasses yuri girl was cray cray.

I don't fucking recognise you anymore.
You might as well be Boney for all I care.
I think it is time to put this junior through the Blood-C initiation passage.
Skimming down the thread, stopped on this line--"I didn't think ToLoveRu had aired yet...oh."
I have a feeling this is going to happen to me a lot over the next three months.
I know right? My heart is not ready for this change Jintor!
I've seen, and sort of liked, Blood+ and didn't like the original film. Is Blood-C really that bad?
Amazing black comedy.

It's an experience every AnimeGAFfer worth his salt has to go through.
apparently its supposed to be comedic
but imo it was just inept writing and laughably bad twists
still hyped for the movie though

You could, alternatively, watch School Days. The end result will be the same.

What was that about a mothership I heard? Did they take a sound clip from some alien movie and use it for a news report scene?

Don't listen to DTL; he's a ManGAF spy trying to sabotage this utopia of ours.
