A cartoon is a cartoon. Anime is a word that the Japanese coined. My point is not that these two are the same - rather, that they both employ imagination with a healthy dose of hyperbole. At least, Code Geass R2 did. See point 2, ponder on whether the Zero Requiem has been attempted IRL. See point 2 on why I am so obssessed with Lelouch's techniques being practical. 2. I'm not sure I can read anybody's personality, maybe that's why I was a bit taken aback. In any case, suppose you know how the guy thinks. That doesn't mean you can time your responses better than in the Mao video, doesn't mean he's really going to reply as you expected. Perhaps he wouldn't let the conversation turn into a ideological argument. There are many variables. To have Lelouch's plan work out 100% like it did was really disappointing - after all he had used practical tactics in the first season. As many have said before, the first season was srsbsns. In comparison, R2 was a bit more of fiction. Imagination. Entertainment. Just another cartoon. 3. http://trainwreck.ggkthx.org/2008/08/19/taniguchi-on-geass-not-as-planned/ http://trainwreck.ggkthx.org/2008/08/22/taniguchi-interview-from-the-roman-album/ 1.

I think the rationalisation they gave for Lelouch being able to defeat Schneizel (I think schnitzel everytime he comes up) was that it wasn't a game of logic (where Lelouch would lose), but rather one of reading his personality. Think of it as triangulation, where Lelouch was able to determine Schneizel's motivation and approach to the conflict from his earlier actions (in the chess game, for example). This model of course depends on an effective master-slave relationship in terms of personality and logic (i.e.: reading someone's personality automatically gives you a logical advantage). I don't think a re-interpretation should be in the works. Isn't that going to be just a remake? I can’t believe you called an anime a ‘cartoon’.

C.C. seems to still be happy after all the events. woohoo. she's to find another Lelouch. or... is he really dead... Gundam 00 is next. woohoo! :) yeah, was wondering as well. what happened to Xingke… hmmm… ah well, who cares anyway.
