I don't think it's possible for CG cars to look much worse than this.
Other than that, it was a pretty good episode.
It's clearly got too many frames per second!

I like the OP a lot. Other than that, the 2 episodes I've seen were pretty boring despite the interesting premise. Some people like it though.

The fear of impending R2 doom and your acting had me scared there for a moment, Ledouche. You're definitely not Light. With him, we always knew it was keikaku. With you, everything's uncertain.

And now we get Suzaku
Yay! That's going to be hard to pull.
I like how its wheels don't turn at all.

freaking overpowered and basically this arc's main villain.
Geass doesn't actually stop time, though, making him vulnerable to bullets. I can already imagine his glorious death scene.

back in school!

The important thing is that Ledouche tricked Rolo into thinking he had

That's the LeDOUCHE I've enjoyed watching from R1!

This is actually true. Normally these days, CGI animators will match the framerate of the CG elements with the hand-drawn ones, so that they at least match in that regard. This one has a full framerate which clashes with the kids who are drawn on twos, in addition to the terrible lighting and weightless animation.

Look at this guys, we did something wonderful tonight. Of course they laughed, they're humans, they're only human.
YEEEESSSS. This is merely the beginning.
Ive never honestly taken user reviews for anime seriously, especially not on MAL or Animesuki and the like. The site is still a good catalogue for shows that you have seen etc though
The concept of "blending" is foreign to animators
Suite Precure 4
Magical Girls doing tsundere things
This episode had better animation than the previous 2, though it still isn't close to HeartCatch's level.
Kanade, don't be so stupid,
Hibiki >>> Kanade.
They must have reused that cake-making animation 5 times or so. Toei so lazy.
Music in this episode was quite good as well, some of the background music is a little boring, but the main themes are all good.

Oh, yeah! I'm going to need a lot of pictures for this one.
It all started pretty well. Introducing two new mechs (with at least one of them being awesome)... I guess they were really betting a lot on toy sales this season, since there was a lot less Pizza Hut around.
But, in reality, this wasn't an action episode. It was one one of those episodes!
It had it all. Cat chases, giant pizzas being cooked by Nightmares, a lot of confusion, Shirley being inappropriate, a ~loli mech commander~ (30 episodes too late), and glorious fanservice!
CC is still undefeatable, though. She even maintains the class.
These episodes are where it's at.
Rolo told Ledouche

I am still aghast by how stupid, yet entertaining the school episodes are. I haven't seen a single school-centric episode that has made me go to sleep.
Pizza-making robos, more close calls to hide identity, more fan seeeeervice~ (one of Kallen's best scenes yet) and the finishing of
(or so it seems! DUN DUN DUUUNN), C.C. covered in sweet tomato sauce and more terrible Shirley (but only a bit).
The new mech, "Tristan" is SICK.

has me wondering "WHAT HELL IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME!"
Stop that pizza-making mecha!

Now Haruka is picking up Usagi? Is there no end to this debauchery!? Awesome daimon design ruined by a shoe on her head.
I didn't realize how much I missed Tuxedo Mask speeches too. Seems like some older music was featured too which would make sense as this feels like an episode from an earlier series. And it's a 2 parter?!

Clever Usagi. Haruka's apparent transition in the tunnel was neat.

Best girl. EP ends up feeling like something out of the end of a series. So good.

Ikuhara ep? Ikuhara ep.
Ikuhara eps always seem to highlight great force in actions or so it seems to me. The new girl's gun to steal talismans is a perfect example of this. Transition from S animation to Mar's chastise routine is rather offputting. And the "triumphant" return of
Holy fuck :lol
This guy's design is such a right blend of creepy and comical.
Nothing wrong with a little physical comedy.

The transformations in Heartcatch have vastly superior animation quality, so it's really just my personal preference Suite's music and for the actual transformation mechanics (ribbons vs. spray-on costume) that makes me speak well of Suite's transformations. Oddly, I never found the CG distracting, probably because it's really fluid.
They're fluid, yes, but when I'm watching Sailor Moon and I see the beautiful fluid hand drawn ribbons there, Suite just can't compare. Also, the transformation itself is rather boring, the sequence is too short and doesn't focus enough on each part.

And, her tiara no longer works! Poor Usagi.
At least she got some quality time in with Mamoru,
Poor Minako, Rei, Makoto, and Ami were stuck in that line for so long and they didn't even get to use the Virtual Reality Theatre in the end.
Anyway, with a broken tiara, I'm hoping she'll get new powers or a new transformation soon. It's an Ikuhara episode next time, I'm expecting great things!

Everything is inferior to hand-drawn, though!
I do realize that the transformations in Suite don't do the traditional shots of each piece of the costume as they materialize, but for me, it's kind of, I don't know, glamorous that way. I don't want to use the word classy because it would imply that other transformation sequences aren't, but I like the focus on the entire body rather than individual parts. I might be making baseless accusations here, but I've always kind of assumed that one of the things that attracts the...erm...unintended elements of the mahou shoujo fanbase is that transformations that chop up the girl into arms and legs and torso and such are seen as a sort of male-gaze objectification rather than the harmless showcase of cute clothing that the normal audience for these shows view the scene as.
I think that part of my problem is that I saw several parody mahou shoujo transformation sequences in various anime that had gratuitous pantsu shots and such, so when I finally got around to watching actual shows in the genre I struggled not to feel creeped out by transformations at first until I was finally able to accept their innocence.
Code Geass R2 6
A pretty balanced episode overall. It didn't have fun mindfucks or silliness, but it also wasn't rotting because of Shirley or Rolo. Instead, all we got was kickass mech action.
And now that Kallen's Gurren Mk-II has got
, shit's on.
I don't know how I feel about Nunnally. She's so oblivious to everything happening around her that it's basically impossible to judge her actions. As Ledouche's mind properly pointed out in a scene in this episode, she did remind me a little bit of

I'm totally fine with Ledouche doing everything to protect her, though, and I felt that

But, yeah. 6 episodes in and this is still the good ol' Code Geass I've known for a week. I'm anxiously waiting for some more insanity on the level of R1 22.

It was about time for some jam-packed mech action!
Ledouche is hunting for
Meanwhile, Kallen's Guren, TouDou's samurai fighter and pretty boy's Tristan are wrecking shop.
Some warriors were slain, but such is a price of war.
Rackshata
As if the Guren wasn't freakin' beastly enough! And the sweet return of Lloyd who is around to react to all the mecha fighting porn he sees before him!
Overall, solid action-story based episode, but Ledouche's main problem still remains. It still feels like R1 to me, not a bad thing, but it makes me ever more nervous about possible future *gulp* possibilities!

Same here. I assume the subdued first half of idyllic island life was intentional for that scene to have full effect.

Makoto ended up learning the opposite lesson that she was supposed to learn! Haruka was supposed to prove that it's okay not to be feminine, but Makoto somehow ends up trying on cute clothing at the end of the episode. Bad Makoto

Ugly CG aside, I really like the Odette II design. They need more close up shots of it.
Not enough Chiaki but Marika saved the episode.

These high school students aren't filler characters are they? Not that they are bad but I want to see the crew of the Bentenmaru instead. The technobabble and tactics and stuff were good in this episode.
