i never watched this anime before but i might have to start. looks really good
I am still on the first one but that will end soon.
Yes! It's back! This is one of the best anime I have ever watched. (the other 2 are clannad and Suzumiya Haruhi)
This is only not on my watch list because I never saw season one and well I think it would be just a bit off to watch the second season without knowning what happened in the first season. I'll get to both seasons in due time.
Watched first episode and loved it! I was a bit anxious to know what would happen, especially if the producers would screw up... But it turns out to be great as always!
Watched and loved it.
I heard many good about this anime, but first I must watch first season... XD
Caught the show, losta nice action and fanservice!!
By the way you asked if I would drop a series if the production quality drops in the first place. I'd say no as for me the plot and characters are the ones that matter the most. I go for a mix of new anime shows and what I call the "legendary anime series", not only to wisely invest time when new episodes of ongoing series are not yet aired, but also to catch up on anime knowledge I have missed for long years (relatively between the end of DBZ and the discovery of streaming with Bleach). For example, recently I have been watching Clannad, Bamboo Blade, True Tears but also Neon Genesis Evangelion and currently Chobits. This said, I never charge blindly as I tend to wait for reviews, a bit like for videogames. ^^
Haven't watched the 1st episode on R2 yet, but will soon. This is probably one of the best anime airing at the moment, finally some sweet mecha action. And the quality on anime, I don't really care as long as the story is great. Alot of old anime got bad animation and dull design but is still good.
I enjoyed episode 1, it wasn't the best or the worst imo. I'm pretty sure at least part of the parallel was intentional, I just can't wait to see the Gawain in action again haha. Btw Pizza Hut FTW!
To me the animation quality of a show is important, but this doesn't mean that great animation is enough to get me hooked and not-so-good animation quality doesn't automatically make an anime unwatchable. For example, I liked Minami-ke, Welcome to the NHK and Mushishi very much even though the visual quality wasn't always top-notch. I loved the first season of Code Geass so I will watch R2 as well. At times it was a little bit of a train-wreck plot-wise but for me this is actually one of it's charms.
Caught episode 1 as well, back to awesome. Those who do not want to catch this are committing the sin of blasphemy. Pizza Hut supports the Rebellion.
Watched earlier this week! Karen rocks! Hope her in bunny suit get a PVC figure treatment!
Never seen Geass before, but these clips make it look a bit more intresting than i previously thought. Still not that keen on the character and mecha designs though. The chins on those 2 yaoi looking blokes could cut through steel! Nice to see yet another anime is getting on the Bunny-girl bandwagon too.
Well, from the looks of it, the anime sounds nice to watch.. But I need to watch the first season to understand the show or I'll scratch my head with confusion.. Added the anime into my watchlist..
Last Sunday, watched it streaming live via KeyHole. Was lagging like hell. The video synced out. All I can hear was nii-san, nii-san.. KABOOM =__="
I have been waiting for this since the last episode from 1st season! It truly was worth the wait and it will be on my short list of "worth watching" anime this season! Looking forward to Macross Frontier epsiode #2 also! Wow I Love ANIME!!! :o)
Hell YES! I'm watching it for Kallen
I was so looking forward to this and I wasn't dissapointed. I don't even miss Gundam 00 that much anymore. I can't wait for more... XD
Finally had a chance to sit down and watch the ep last night, although I've had the ep since it was shown on sunday. I intend to write up my thoughts later tonight but overall, I was underwhelmed. My biggest gripe is that it didn't connect smoothly with the end of the first season. We were left with a lot of questions and all we got in the first ep was basically a rehash of the first season opening and even more questions!!! Having said that, it did beat out the broadcast version of Ep1 of macross frontier. But only just. My anticipation for frontier still greatly outstrips my desire for more geass
Yap, watched it and it's good. Well this ep 1 has the same atmoshphere with ep 1 in season 1 too i guess... Like got chess duel, and in the end lulu was cornered and met with C.C then gains the power. Well it was probably intended to be like that I guess... Nevertheless I'm excited for the next episode~~~ :D
Animation quality is pretty important to me. There are very few cases where I'll stick with a show with shitty production values these days. The last one I watched was Rosario + Vampire, and that's only because the characters usually managed to stay on model, but each cut of animation done on fours or something.
Loving the fact there are more lolis this time around (◕ ◡ ◕)
Animation quality is important for me, however, content/story weighs more in term of whether or not I am going to keep watching it.
Woots!~ I can finally watch! Wasn't able to findthe time to watch... Karen, C.C, wait for me!!!
Seems like the writers dug themselves into a hole and didn't know how to get out at the end of season 1. Hence the story picks up one year later and Lelouch has fake memories.
A fresh start for season 2 of code geass!!! The quality is so good compared to others!!!
Still haven't checkes Geass out yet. Was downing a lot of shows at the time and this one slipped though; but since everyone is going crazy 'bout it I might give it a whirl. About animation quality needs; it's kinda inversely related to the story I guess. If the story is really good and I like watching, I might forgive some loss of quality, but if the story is not so interesting the animation had better be damn good. The only show that totally failed for me on both is Soul Hunter; god that was crap...
I was wondering why they had to repeat the same scene on season one where he ordered them to mass suicide. But awesome, seeing shirley, the chairman and kallen on their comeback surely made my day.
The first bit good but in R2 is way too cool because they detailed the story in 1st season.More mecha, nice and add new girls and boys, and more bloody scenes but need more romantic in next episodes..
enough bricks were shat to build a brickwall
Woot!! Code Geass R2 Code Geass R2 Code Gea..... *faints due to lack of breathing* Glad it's finally back, can't wait to see how they explain the ending of the first season, too many loopholes need to be filled up.
done a crash watching program on r1.. and seen the first episode.. excellent so far i hope they keep it up.
Bunny Girl Kalen for the win!!! I wouldn't drop watching the series if animation gets dodgy, not unless it gets super dodgy.
Seems like lots of ppl like Code Geass. I still haven't watch the first season yet. Is it really that good?
Stiil don`t finish the first season, but I will see this for sure
Wow immediate Kallen goodness from the 1st EP! Am I the only one who thinks she's the hottest of the bunch?
That's... a lot of screencaps. xPP As for watching if quality goes down, I'd have to say yes as long as I like the story. Then again, I DO consider myself a trashcan for anime ._.
Speed Grapher's freaking great, didn't know that you liked it as well Danny :D! Love the story behind it, so well thought out!
I havent watched the first series, so I've got pretty much no clue of the story lol. Looks pretty though. If a series animation quality drops it all depends on how good the story is. With Haibane Renmei I just wanted to see the whole series, regardless of the 2nd half of the series being worse quality animation.
I love Code Geass! It's been a while since I've been really into an anime ^^;
Code Geass is a great series!!! Whats more cool, it's done by Clamp. Had Clamp done anything with mecha in it? I just love this series...
Have yet to watch season 1. Dropped it after the first 2 episodes but D_Blade convinced me to give it another try, which I'll do soon ^^
it's been a while since i wathced season 1, and kinda forgot about the ending. I am glad to see Kallen back ^^
@Tempest: I did? That's cool. At your service. *Bows and warps away*
It was a nice episode imo... although very similar to the first episode of the 1st season. Wonder what happened to Nunally..
I watched the first season and absolutely loved it! The animation is top notch and it looks that it's going to continue into R2. Also, the first season (dubbed) is going to be on [adult swim] later this month and I'm going to be sure to catch that as well.
The animation in this ep was fantastic. And I didn't expect them to broadcast it in HD. Love the show, can't wait for the mysteries of the first series to get answered and can't wait to see Lelouch vs Suzaku battles.
