- First off, I'd like to preface this post by saying that this was the BEST.ANIME.EPISODE.EVER.
- I'd also like to add that this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Kallen went all Mortal Kombat on Suzaku...XDD Who am I kidding? Certainly not myself. This scene lasted for 30 seconds max, but I had to begin my review with it. I don't care if Suzaku didn't fight back, I don't care if he was going there to apologise to her, all I know is that Kallen finally showed some backbone (instead of cleavage) and kicked his ass. That alone was enough to make that entire episode full of win for me. ^_^ (Chris, I guess this is what that satisfied smirk was about.)
- Gino was very much the gentleman in this episode, helping out both Nunnally and Kallen. I hope this means he doesn't die.
- I demand more Cornelia and Lelouch interaction.
- The signs are popping up, albeit not that glaringly, that the spoiler about the Black Knights turning on Lelouch may be true. Rollo, you arrogant, mug, way to build team morale.
- Slave C.C is just not fun. Well, unless you're a man and you lived in the 50s. I miss old C.C. Can she regain her memories soon, please? Or barring that, die? - Ooh, so here's another wrinkle in the plot, the issue of Anya's memories. This has made more people believe that the spoiler about her being Lelouch's sister might be true. To me, regardless of whether she is or not, it's not going to make Lelouch suddenly forget about Nunnally and focus only on Anya. - Britannia is gathering all of its forces into one place, as is the newly created Federation. The big showdown cannot come soon enough for me. - Thank you, Lloyd, for pointing out the contradiction before I could. I think Nina has gone past the "obsession with Euphemia" stage squarely into the "I'm a crazy, discriminatory bitch" stage and unfortunately, she's deluding herself into thinking that those 2 stages are the same thing. - Toudoh: real men wear make-up, huh? ^^ - The fact that Lelouch stepped back when the Emperor was broadcasting shows how intimidated he is by him. And as a leader who's just embarked on an ambitious course of action, that's not the image you're supposed to portray to your supporters (It remains to be seen whether or not it was only Toudoh who saw this.). - Sooo, WITHGOW Ougi and Villetta? Evil, evil writers. I guess we're to assume that some sort of blackmail is going on with Diethard and Ougi. - Did anyone notice Tamaki's position in the Federation as the list was scrolling throughout the broadcast? XDD Internal cleaning supporter. ^_^ Poor guy can't get a break.
- Seeing all of the Knights celebrate just underscored Kallen's absence to me. I'll forgive Ougi for his absent-mindedness when the topic of her rescue was broached; his mind was most likely on whatever happened to Viletta. But jeez, you were close with both her and her brother, would it kill you to show some concern for once?
- I plan to do this every week until she's (FINALLY!) rescued. Get me back my Kallen! Sheesh, she's been so useless and out of the loop for so long. This is no way to treat a major character. We have 9 episodes remaining. Please, get her off her ass and into a mech so she can resume the ass-kicking on a wider scale.
- Lelocuh was willing to call Suzaku to beg him to protect Nunnally, which again, just demonstrates how much he loves her. Of course Suzaku wasted no time in galloping onto the old high horse and demanded a meeting between the 2 of them. I don't expect it to be productive, there's too much tension there, especially on Suzaku's side. But I think it's safe to assume that Lelouch still considers him a friend, irrespective of their recent history. I can't wait to see what they say to each other, and the ramifications of their meeting. And now we'll all get to see if the Schniezel arresting Lelouch rumour is true. |
