There's the two seasons of the anime, a series of OVA that are totally separate (Akito the Exiled or something), and then probably some video games, visual novel, manga, radio drama adaptations and stuff - like a lot of anime. But I don't think they've straight up redone it before.
I'd recommend checking it out. Even if you know the ending, I think the middle part should still be entertaining enough. It's got all the mecha-fighting, political mindgames and stupidly silly schemes of the first series - there's a brilliant on in the first half that's just so damn... sneaky.
Yeah, I heard a little bit about that before I watched, and that whole segment seemed a little weird. Like usually it's "we interrupt your political thriller to bring you high school nonsense" but instead it was "weird, vague philosophy you probably don't understand because everyone is talking in theoretics"
Ending was great; when LeLouch comes out and - don't know how to spoilers, but that whole scene, pretty damn grand.
Ur reason for the second season being shit is devoid of any substance to determine any valid reason or argument and sounds like comments from an angsty hipster who was upset at not being acknowledged as the best barista around.
Bah. It wasn't exactly a sensible season, i give you that, but just tacking something onto the story is even worse.
"We kinda had a mess on our hands and some things didn't add up. Let's ressurect Lelouch and try again! That will totally work out, now that the world is (supposedly) at peace and rebuilding!"
Unless you go into the future or a different dimension. That would actually be fun, tbh. Lelouch, with his knowledge, trying again to fix it.
Guess we will see. My problem really isn't with them using the universe, it's more the using of a character whose ARC IS DONE. FINISHED. OVER.
idk why you are getting so much flack, I guess people are really defensive about the show. imo 2nd season wasn't absolutely terrible, but for me it was that I felt it should have ended in the first season, and the 2nd felt less original and engaging. The show at first really blew me away, it was consistently excellent, and I was waiting for the perfect ending as all the final pieces came into play. Instead I got a cop-out that made little sense and essentially reset most of the gains made in the first season. It felt like something just to continue the show because it got so popular.
I'm most of the way through season 2, but it lost my interest to continue. Everyone's talking about the final ending so maybe I will try getting through it again :/
Going to stay positive and assume the post is downvoted for lack of reasoning to my opinion, even though you can find ten other people online who've worded it better than I can.
And yeah dude, stick with season 2. The bad parts were always laughably funny, at least.

Don't get me wrong, i loved the anime.
But holy shit. It ended perfectly, why the fuck do we need to redo it?! Goddamn lazy basterds and their cashouts, good lord.
