Anime: death note, code geass (minor ep 1 spoilers of each)

I don't expect two episodes to cover capturing Tokyo, securing Japan AND invading England and destroying the imperial palace (unless of course those two eps have Suzaku killing everyone). Hell, two episodes are barely enough to cover a final battle between two main characters!

Suzaku isn't the type to tell others to kill themselves and even if, noone would listen to him.

Damn, got Lelouch and Suzaku mized up. =P He could do it with the Lancelot if he conserved power...

Not really, unless there's a cheap plot device helping him the combination of the Guren, the Hadron cannons and the chainsaw-katana mechs would be too much for him to handle.

That purple cube thing that powers the Lancelot can probably be overloaded and make the Lancelot super powerful or something, combined with the rage from the Princess being killed.

Cheap plot device indeed.

Isn't that cube the fuel it runs on?

That cube dealie is supposed to be a chunk of that super-valuable "power stuff" that was discovered in this alternate universe. It is the reason Japan gets invaded, since it turns out to have 70% of the naturally occuring "whatever".

Man, it would be so cool if the "englandish" characters actually spoke english, and it was subtitled in Japanese. I don't think I've seen that kind of thing very often in anime. Would be much more realistic.

Anyways, from my little bit of research I think that ep 23 is the last one for this season, and a second one has been confirmed. I'm probably wrong.

They have that on Samurai Champloo, except for teh fact that I was watching it in english in the first place, but it was dubbed in Japanese at the bottom, hehe.

Try watching Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto. You'll change your oppinion quickly.

To take a wild guess, the voice actors aren't so good? BTW how the heck do you have that memorized?

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 25 Apr 2007, 23:57

They do that in Black Lagoon. Speaking of Black Lagoon, I need to finish watching that. I got to the second episode of the mini-story arc of "Incestious Assasin Murdur Twins" which is right after "Maid to Kill" which has four Terminator references one after the other.

But it's a Maid. Get it? Maid to kill! Made to Kill! Get it? Hehehehe...

The voice acting is atrocious for those parts (the pronounciation is awful) and the sentences are very primitive and unfitting.

Well there you go, that's what I mean. REAL spoken english by english people, not fake spoken engrish with thick japanese accent.

Incestious Assasin Murdur Twins

WHAT THE HELL??

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 29 Apr 2007, 21:03

It's what they are. Two thirteen year olds with a hatchet and a M60 who kill people and make out. Weeeeeeeird, huh?

That's why I watch anime in japanese with english subtitles only.
That's why 5 GB of MSGundam had to go.

Hellsing, it was all good except for the priest and allucard. Otherwise they did what you are asking for very, very well.

Update on CG: Now the word is that there's going to be a couple more episodes in a month or two, before a regular break when the next season will start. It's been confirmed for a second season.

It's cool to see that these totally unusual anime are catching on. There's action, horror, romance, ...incestuous 13 year old hatchet wielders... , mystery, but I've never seen shows primarily focused on suspense and genius.
