Code Geass discussion Thread

Oh I got your meaning now I think.
Basically, what you're saying has nothing to do with love or romantic sentiment.
You're saying (if I understand you correctly) that because Lelouch knew how loyal Kallen was to him, and he didn't want anyone else to die due to him, he severed ties with her to keep the Black Knights from killing her.
If that's what Okouchi was trying to convey, he did a really bad job of it IMHO.
I agree with Ami Koshimizu (the VA for Kallen), the kiss between Lelouch and Kallen was unnecessary to convey him ending their friendship.
Ms. Koshimizu stated in Animedia Jan issue of 2009 that she was taken "off guard" when she was told her character was going to kiss Lelouch.
I can see why.

As a side note I thought I should say that I really do like Kallen very much as a character.
However, if the intent of Okouchi was to make Lelouch love her than by God, why the hell didn't he just go ahead and do it.
It's frustrating when we are given all this love between CC, Shirley, Kallen, and Lelouch and then we aren't given an official pairing.
I know that the Japanese do this a lot in their story telling styles, but in Code Geass I think they were just trolling us the whole time.

Alpha and Omega update.

I'm currently on the 7th page of Chapter six (chapters are 10-12 pages max).
I hope to have it up for you ladies and gents by Sunday.

Thanks for the update.

BTW, how come Lelouch is still getting overconfident in combat? Is it his code or something? Or just that he's still a bit of a novice?

Caught in a debate over at animesuki of whether Lelouch deserved his end in the series for his lies, heh heh heh.

ETA: I've figured it out! The title font is a Manegrim variant.

I'm sorry azul120 but I cannot answer your question without spoiling too much of the plot.
All I can do is ask you a question in order to give you a hint.
Was there any way that the Kaminejima could have escaped thousands of Babylonian warships if Ishtar didn't get what she wanted?

As to the argument on animesuki.
I saw that.
Geez, you and Sol Failing are having quite a bit of a debate over there.
I posted some of my thoughts on it, not sure if they'll help or not, but I shared what I really feel about the ZR.

Thanks for finding out the font type.
Now I'll have to find out where I can download it to make the necessary changed in Photoshop.

Just an update on Chapter 7.
I've been working on it and am over half way finished.
However, as usual my life is a mess (automotive problems), and thus I haven't had time to get to finishing this chapter as quickly as I would like.
Guess I'm now as bad as the manga.
We've been waiting for that since November.

I hope to have Chapter seven up sometime in February (or sooner if I can).
Until then please be patient.

Well keep at it. We can wait.

I've been totally spoiled by various fanfics, my own observations, and my resulting expectations so much that I cannot look back at the original without any sort of disgust.

[Rai]

You aren't the only one Azul.

The original pales in comparison to some of the more thought out fanfictions I've read. Even if they may contain one or two more fixer sues to make certain pairings more canon - I still prefer them over R2.

All and all I could probably imagine people going to great lengths to surpass R2. Too bad though, since if you deconstruct it it's actually pretty generic.

[azul120]

Yeah, precisely.

In other news, I filed Ohgi under the Fallen subcategory of the Pantheon as God of Love Induced Stupidity.

[Rai]

I feel mostly bad for the Ohgi fans, because by the end of R2 he was nothing but a derailed pompadour. Ensemble Darkhorse or no, he hasn't gotten that much popularity since then.

By the way Azul, could you help me expand the TvTropes for Rai? A general outlook can come to mind if you read through Eternal Dreamer's translations. (I haven't done it recently.)

[Kodai Okuda]

Just a heads up for everybody.
I'm on the 7th page of Chapter 7 for Alpha and Omega.
I should be done by the end of this week if all goes well.
Real life has been extremely hectic over the last six months and hasn't let up yet.
Hopfully this spring I can get back to a regular writing schedule for Alpha and Omega.
