Actually I just wanted to put Code Geass + Code Geass R2, but since this is “Twelve Moments in Anime” I guess I’ll have to pick episode 21.
Code Geass R2 brought me back to the BBT (before bit torrent) days of IRC. God how I missed the days when all the fans would gather on IRC channels just waiting for releases and chatting the night away about anything and everything anime related.
One of the more memorable moment was #anime-empire’s Slam Dunk release nights with their HUNHUNHUNHNHUNHUN spam. Code Geass did bring some of it back with GEASS SUNDAYS. Bored on a Sunday afternoon? There’s always fun to be had (I personally liked to spam in #gg but I’m sure there were other places too).
I picked 21 since it was this episode that :
- Lelouch defated his father Charles
- epic Charles torpedo meme was born
- I was shouting “ALL HAIL LELOUCH! ALL HAIL LELOUCH! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!”
So thanks R2, for all the fun & lulz.
ALL HAIL LELOUCH! ALL HAIL LELOUCH! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!
ps. It seems like I’m not the only one who though Geass was a huge impact in 2008, regardless of whether you loved it or hated it. And I’m expecting to see a few more “12 moments in Anime – GEASS” posts over the next few days. Hell I could do a “Twelve Moments in Code Geass R2″ thing if I wasn’t so fucking lazy.

21 was debateably my favorite episode of R2. There was just nothing more badass than Lelouch walking out to that throne and geassing the entire court after being accompanied by Spinzaku 2.0. There is also a part of me that screamed out in victory when Suzaku said, “YES, YOUR MAJESTY.”
Heh. I’m not doing this blogwide 12 Days thing, but doing a 12 Moments in CG R2 is crazy tempting…
You definitely should try the 12 moments in Geass R2! I can pull out 5 EPIC LULZ moments alone off the top of my head ….
All hail Lelouch! This one’s definitely ending up on mine as well XD
