second impression

I heard about this animation since high school, and I watched it for the first time in my sophomore year. Now that I watch it again after four years, I still feel that it is not outdated at all. It can be said that it is an enduring animation.

Because it was a memory from 4 years ago, and I read it in one breath, some characters and some plots are not very clear. Looking at it again, I can't stop the rhythm, but this time, I deeply understand the protagonist Lu Luxiu, and I really like this character, so I feel the long-lost discomfort.

This animation covers almost all aspects of society, science, philosophy, human nature, etc. Although not every aspect is impeccable, the final display is absolutely amazing. Every time you look at it, you can find something new.

    There is basically no logic, and the story is purely made up. Some people say that it contains many theories, many cultures, and many profound connotations. Please also check whether these theories are related, and whether there are contradictions in the story itself. Who said that rich content means divine work? Why don't you go to the Encyclopedia Britannica? There's more in there. This is basically the result of the screenwriter taking the medicine and writing it out, the effect of the medicine recedes, and the result is changed with normal thinking...

    The brain-dead "fight of wits", the hypocritical interaction, the animation of the nympho girl in the mecha shell, what do you compare to "Death Note"?

Code Geass quotes

  • Lloyd: Are you surprised?

    Milly: [blinks] Uhhh...

    Lloyd: Matchmaking dates are usually in hotels or restaurants.

    Milly: Uh, I suppose that's true, but I'd heard you were a very unique person, Lord Asplund.

    Lloyd: [works at computer] Unique! What a delightfully awful way to put it.

    Milly: I'm surprised you're interested in a girl from the downgraded Ashford family after it lost its rank.

    Lloyd: [turns to Milly] Oho! But I couldn't care less about loss of rank.

    Cecile: Excuse me.

    [sets down a tray of tea for Lloyd and Milly]

    Milly: I'm sorry to trouble you.

    Cecile: Not at all. Take your time.

    Lloyd: No need for that.

    [resumes working]

    Lloyd: Why draw it out? Let's get married.

    Milly: Huh?

    [exclaims]

    Milly: That's it?

    Lloyd: Getting cold feet?

  • Charles: The former 17th heir to the Imperial Throne, Lelouch vi Britannia. It's been a long time, hasn't it, my errant son?

    Lelouch: [struggles to lift his head] How dare you...!

    Suzaku: [forces Lelouch's head down] You won't use your Geass.

    [to Charles]

    Suzaku: Your Majesty, I have a request. Please, sire, allow me to join the Knights of the Round, the twelve strongest knights of the Britannian Empire.

    Charles: As a reward for capturing Zero, is that it?

    Lelouch: You...

    Suzaku: I told you before, Lelouch, that I was going to change this world from the inside.

    Lelouch: Even if it means selling out your friends?

    Suzaku: That's right.

    Charles: Very well. I like the answer you just gave him. Now then, as a Knight of the Round I order you: cover up Zero's left eye.

    Suzaku: Yes, Your Majesty.

    [covers Lelouch's left eye and lifts his head up by the hair]

    Charles: My unworthy son, who raised the banner of rebellion although he was a prince. Still, there's another way we can make use of him.

    Lelouch: [gasps] What?

    Charles: [Geass appears in both his eyes] I will rewrite your memory, about being Zero, about the death of your mother, about the very existence of Nunnally.

    Lelouch: No... Geass...

    Charles: You'll remember none of it. You'll just be insignificant.

    Lelouch: [struggling against Suzaku] No, stop! You're stealing what's most precious to me again! First my mother, and now you're taking Nunnally!

    Charles: Charles zi Britannia engraves into you...

    Lelouch: Stop it!

    Charles: False memories of a false life.

    Lelouch: [screams in anguish]
