Re: Code Geass

Table kun Nina is racistchan I think. I don't think I've ever taken in the first four episodes so slowly or comprehensively so this really does let me appreciate everything that's happened and was at stake. ... I can't believe I forgot Table-kun was a thing. I remembered a bunch of the various meme...

Re: Code Geass

I'd tend to disagree, because I don't think those themes were "lost" during the second season. It's more like they became surrounded by additional distractions and the pacing felt more uneven. But, for better or for worse, I think that in the grand scheme of things it all eventually does tie back t...

Re: Code Geass

Ah, Code Trainwreck, a show that had a lot of good going for it in Season 1 that, IMO, wasted almost all of it. It's another show that fails when the developers go for grand, sweeping scales when the small-scale conflicts and ethical questions make the show engaging. Is Lelouch really justified, and...

Re: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Yeah, watching this reminds me why I skipped the first 10 episodes of FMA: Brotherhood. The viewer can tell very easily that Studio Bones wanted to get to the content that wasn't in the 2003 series, or it was a mandate to get past the divergence point of the 2003 series as fast as possible. While I ...

Re: With Code Geass being reviewed soon, do you think Chuck will like it?

Well, it won't cause naming migraines because Code Geass has a good dub. I honestly prefer it, hearing Johnny Yong Bosch as a gigantic ham is a treat. My guess is that in some ways it'll be considered enjoyably stupid, at least for Season 1. Season 2, IMO, jumps so many sharks it's mind boggling, an...

Re: Shows I'd like to see Chuck review

I'd say Princess Tutu. Yes, if you haven't heard of the show, you probably expect it to be a meme to watch a generic magical girl show about dancing. Princess Tutu is like Madoka Magica in the sense its first episodes are misleading and more engaging on rewatch. The twists made later in the series a...
