Otakuism

Nice. I have a new love for my monitor and Sayoko.

Not nice. I still love my monitor though.

Shirley’s death is harsh for Lelouch, but it also reemphasizes the point that Lelouch really can’t go back, no matter how much he wants to. Him continuously trying to Geass Shirley to live was the best part, as it showed his own belief that he can do anything falling apart. If this leads to a darker Lelouch, or even a Lelouch that completely embraces the identity of Zero, then I think Shirley’s death was worth it. Lelouch has been waffling between pure villainy and normalcy for too long. And, really, Rolo just needs to die. We can all agree on that. Jeremiah’s about-face was very unexpected, though makes sense in the weird kind of honor-logic he uses.

Jury’s still out on the new OP. It lacks a certain oomph I think a mecha show needs at this point in the game. It does promise epic battles IN SPACE, so I’m looking forward to that.

One more shot of my new monitor. It’s a Hannspree 19 inch for the curious, and that is the Victory 2 Gundam. It’s down there on my to watch list. Somewhat fitting as the new enhancements for the Lancelot and Gurren remind me of the Wings of Light from Victory Gundam.

Gunota has compiled all the new info for the second season of Gundam 00 coming out. Most of it is pretty simple stuff, but there’s a couple things that really caught my eye:

The second season will revolve around an independent security enforcement organization within the Federation called “Arrows” that suppresses anti-Federation elements.

And

Most people aren’t aware of the severe oppression of Arrows due to the Federation’s complete control of information.

Oh lord it’s the Titans all over again. It also looks like Lockon’s twin brother will be joining the group, so would he be the Quattro?
