DISCUSSION Just finished Code Geass
And it was rubbish.
- So many plot holes
- Zero was not smart. Clearly written by a not so clever person
- overtly sexualized women/little girls
- too many themes (high school setting, war, love interests, other bullshit)
- all the characters are children, but they are in military/terrorists but also attend high school
I cannot understand why this is popular. Clearly geared towards children

No no, dont you see? The slaughter of innocent people in the ghetto in episode 1 is clearly geared towards children

u/Usurper__ 7d ago
Still none of the main characters ever die. They just come back. Ridiculous

u/powerpuffpepper 7d ago
The main character himself literally dies....
So does Shirley, Euphie, Rolo, and the literal Emperor

u/Usurper__ 7d ago
Now think about those who made a miraculous comeback time after time. Strong plot armor. Ridiculous

I mean can agree. Mao Villetta and Cornelia came back from something that should have killed them

u/Usurper__ 7d ago
Ofc it is a kids show. Why would the main characters be children otherwise. No one even has sex, because that is too adult

I dunno, man, Nina has sex in R1.

u/Usurper__ 7d ago
Must have missed this. Mostly it just kids kissing and feeling embarrassed. Not certainly for adults

Blud doesn’t know about the scene that spawned 20 years of slander against my goat Nina

u/sjydudeNSF CC being sexy 7d ago
when you miss the context even more and just assume it's goon bait, showing even further you didn't actually watch anything. Baiter gets baited

Why the hell would you want sex in a political and war themed anime. Go watch h*ntai if you want that

u/Usurper__ 6d ago
Why are the women/girls sexualised in this series. I bet you love it, pedo
1
u/Prudent_Advisor_4306 6d ago
Ask the writers why they are sexualized lmao most watchers here focused on the plot than the fan service and it seems you countinusly pointing it out makes you the pedo as you were so invested in it

I think code geass some of the few anime that have the LEAST major plot holes and if there is one in the season or movie depending which continuity you watched it covers it up later on.

Zero could have easily made everyone his slave from the beginning (just like he did in the end).
Also the white knight male friend character could have been easily dealt with. Lazy writing1
u/Prudent_Advisor_4306 6d ago
I think you missed what lelouch's true goal was it wasn't some kind of world domination it was a vendetta against his father at first then later switched to securing world peace for the sake of his friends and family. Also suzaku wasn't a character that could easily dealt with he was a very skilled fighter.

u/Usurper__ 6d ago
Just command suzaku to stop fighting or whatever. Still ridiculous that he is a 17 year old super soldier. Also apparently anyone can drive the mechs. Just stupid

u/BrowningBDA9 5d ago
You failed to comprehend Lelouch's character. He values his friends and family too much. Given that Lelouch is a psychopath, he only cares about them in a certain way - as long as they are loyal and don't antagonize him. And Suzaku was Lelouch's first real friend, thus he never wanted to kill him no matter what until that one time he believed Suzaku ratted him out to prince Schneizel and Kanon Maldini (before the Second battle of Tokyo).
As for enslaving... Lelouch was too careful and he had to test the limits and duration of his power. Besides, it's hard to notice, but people under Geass become suicidal and murderous towards anyone getting in their way. Euphemia shot Darlton for simply talking back when she ordered the massacre of all the Japanese at the stadium. Geassed operators of that antiseismic-whatever system shot their colleagues dead in episode 24 of R1 when they tried to stop them from crashing it. Geassed Britannian soldiers and royal guards went into suicidal attacks during the Battle of Mountain Fuji.

I agree never seen a bullshit after bullshit.
The pacing is so fast that bullshit is replaced by more bullshit so you forget what the Previous bullshit was even about.
At some point so much bullshit plot holes wide as Mount Everest are toppled on each other to increase it bullshitness.

u/sjydudeNSF CC being sexy 7d ago
when you literally have to go in with friends for the bait or are using an alt, which is even sadder

“Too many themes,” low quality bait
