Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish. Sounds like a thrill ride. But I’m so cut off from the rest of the otakusphere I haven’t even heard anything (good or bad) about it.

Tell you what, I’ll go watch the first couple of episodes, and if it turns out as good as Someday’s Dreamers I’ll eat my goddamn shoes. >.>

Holy crap, you just reminded me, I thought exactly the same thing… In fact was damn near screaming “DO IT NOOOOOW” at Orange as he blabbered about allegiances and what not. For all the hype the Geass Canceller received it’s been strangely unused since introduced.

Maybe episode 19 is the straw that will finally break the camel’s back for Suzaku. I expect him to either a) go ape-shit on Britannia (and Nina) with an upgraded Lancelot or b) sprint into emo territory and become even more of a crybaby who sulks in his room as Lulu spends his time rewriting world history after losing everything he had.

Thanks! I found it!

Of course Suzaku snapped. He DID kill Nunnally. I just hope that Orange breaks the geass on him soon. Then Kallen can send him to see his father.

Actually, in that scene with both Orange and Suzaku, I really thought that Orange was going to break the geass. Oh well.

Mary: Someday’s Dreamers’s original Japanese title is Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora. You should be able to find more info under that name. :)

And I think Suzaku’s finally snapped and gone woop-dee bonkers. Did you see him cackling madly at the sky at the end of 19? Yup, poor chap’s sanity has snapped. I wonder if you can pilot Lancelot remotely from a white padded cell…

And that’s a damn interesting analogy you’ve drawn with Dostoevsky, even though I’ve never read the book and only have a plot summary to go by, but some of the more general plot elements fit eerily well. Just don’t start calling Code Geass “Dostoevsky with boobs and mechas” or else you may find a rabid mob of literary critics after your blood.

Ah! I’m glad that I’m not the only one who thought so about Code Geass 19. I can’t wait until they kill off Sukaku. He’s just an eyesore. =(

I can’t find “Someday’s Dreamers” anywhere. I was curious, because of your blog, but I can’t find a subbed version anywhere.

And is it just me, or does Lelouch remind you of Rodion Raskolnikov from “Crime and Punishment”? Maybe Kallen will end up being his Sonya? I wonder…

Believe it or not, but the original draft had “(is that even possible?)” added to that statement to qualify it.

But then I thought to myself… Hang on, as a full-fledged anime blogger, I qualify as a SERIUSS WRITAR, and my readers expect more from me than a cheap juvenile joke! Or not. I failed at judging my audience. :(

Also, Code Geass 19 was feckin’ awesome. Just throwing that out there.

I’m confused.
