We're already up to our necks in this. There's no running away.
Im experiencing it slowly. Savoring every episode.
Every morsel of nonsense. Like a fine wine.

Heathen.
Geass is the most spectacular anime of all time. Ever since R2 finished I have found myself caring less and less about anime every day because nothing will ever be like the times I had with Geass.
Another BONES mystery series? That sounds extremely unpromising.
I mean that in a good way. I love code Geass. Im in no rush to finish it though. I dont want it to end too quickly.

It's not a mystery series. I think it's more like shounen scifi action.

This man speaks the truth. When one finishes Geass it leaves a void that no other show can fill.
That was Episode 18. The one they just saw.

Master Keaton 36-end
Well that was a rather uneventful "finale". Even calling it that is pretty generous. There really wasn't anything that felt "endgame" about these last 2 episodes outside that final remark from Wolf where
It wasn't really even a higher scale assignment than he's used to.
Well anyway, the show was pretty eh. The suspenseful mindfuckery that I've come to expect from Urasawa's work was nowhere to be found. Instead, I got a subdued episodic series of low key investigations and occasionally some unsatisfying character development.
Now not everything has to be some crazy Kaiji style series where the mundane becomes exciting, but even in the context of this show, I wasn't particularly engaged. Most assignments had a rather boring setup and by the time it got interesting, it was already over. Even in the rare case when I did find the setup thought-provoking (mainly the
case), there wasn't enough closure for it to really have a lasting effect. Maybe I'm just biased against episodic stuff, but I just can't work up the energy to care a bunch of self-contained stories when I know Keaton will be off on another self-contained adventure next week.
The only real positive thing I have to say about the series is the criminally underused Daniel. The guy was awesome.
So yeah, pretty much everything from the concept to the presentation was underwhelming. Had this been a Japanese MacGyver like the first episode kind of lead me to believe, I might have been more receptive, but as it stands, I got nothing. Even with the adrenaline of jogging while watching it, I still found myself zoning out a lot. Was just really mind-numbingly boring.
And with that, I have completed both contracts. Hosanna and Envelope, both of you guys need to pick up the pace!
Yeah man, cocaine is where it's at!

Subete no aware
I'm surprised they left it all wistful and such. It's not like she's a teacher or anything! lol
Forget what I said. That sounds even worse. Well, I guess it will probably have some good animation. Maybe.

I guess he still has CC 2.0,

They are all only human in the end.
Redemption.
Play a tune, little one.
Rolo played into the hands of the world: the world, the order, Ledouche. In the spirit of feeling humanity when spending time with his "brother", he complied to all he had to say, even under the premise that he was a pawn in a larger game of chess again.
The interesting part is that, even though he holds this feeling not unlike other Geass users have: Mao and C.C., Ledouche wasn't the contractor for Rolo. The touch of humanity seems to be the one thing any Geass user desires in the end when their power is no longer utilized for pure pleasure. Regardless of who gives them that feeling, they do not require gods or deities, just people.

The Geass, sponsored by Pizza Hut, has spoken!
We are in no place to question its motive.
I agree with you there, but it still happened, hahaha.

Also, I should continue code Geass. I left off in the middle of episode 10 after falling asleep. I just fall asleep at random pretty much.
Best character by a mile, Hito-han.
pffffft we all know from Ojamajo Doremi that there are nine ranks of witches, not seven. Who do these pretenders think they are?

Only the Monkey Ds and Ace have fallen asleep mid-conversation.

We've officially reached the point when it's impossible to discern what the hell is going on. The end is definitely near.
So now
And Suzaku grew balls and is now Ledouche 2.0!
Those are all mundane happenings, though - says the weird king guy from his thought dimension with spiralling crystallized diarrhea or whatever.
