Code Geass R2 20 - Can I Get a Collective “WHAT!?”
I don’t think killing your father is so much a childish action as a sociopathic one. There’s a key difference there.
CG finally caters to the hypnosis fetish sect. In all seriousness, is Marianne possessing Anya’s loli body and wanting to rape C.C. not the weirdest plot twist yet? Were there any crazy theories out there that even saw this coming at all? Not only that, but Marianne also acts like some giddy high school girl about to go out on the town when she’s really probably plotting for some evil aliens. This is the person Lelouch has been trying to avenge? Did he meet her at all? Truly CG is unpredictable now.
The evil Geass Penguins are the true third faction in this battle. Fleeing Jupiter millenia ago, they flew through interstellar space on their wings of light, which rendered them useless in a real atmosphere. They now plot to cover the Earth in ice so they can move to the equator and enjoy tropic beaches FOREVER!
There’s another plot hole covered up. Or maybe they just finally took the time to lampshade it.
“Coup d’etat you say? Capital idea. Lackey, set things in motion. I’m going to go have some Earl Gray while I ruminate on my best evil laugh.”
Suzaku has effectively achieved the most pathetic retreat in anything ever.
I just love Lelouch’s ostentsious display of fabulousness here. Not only did he have to geass all those guys into that formation, but if you also notice there’s no one around to even see it! Lelouch is great this episode as everyone else is running around trying to figure out what’s going on, and he’s just like “Lol I’m gonna fuck your shit up now.” Lelouch with no morals is truly the best Lelouch.
So all the animation budget for this episode went into animating two giant CG pillars of rotating poo? Great, just great.
I think those are supposed to be statues? You can kind of see some arms outstretched or something. I dunno, looks pretty bad.
Also, Suzaku’s assassination attempt was so horrible. Here, I’ll just use this weapon which requires me to get close to the emperor while making as much of a commotion as I can. Never mind the fact that he can erase my memories or anything.

This show is just so…
I mean, does the show seriously take itself seriously?

Norman: At no point has Code Geass taken itself seriously at any point in either season.
As for the Geass thing, I don’t think that was so much a plot gap, as it was stradegy. Lelouch could not afford to have people constantly following Geass orders and potentially growing suspicious (not to mention that such a thing would interfere with his now gone morals). Now that Lelouch has nothing left to lose (or so he thinks), all bets are off.

You can’t go far wrong with rotating poo. Granted, you can’t go far right, either - in fact, I’m not sure where you can go, but that’s par for the Geass course.

They kind of look like deranged dildos to me, honestly.

I really thought the ending parts of both episode 19 and 20 had some great lines for Lelouch (ok well maybe they’re cliche to an extent, but I love em).
It was awesome to see that the Emperor CRINGED after Lelouch destroyed the entrance.

Lelouch has gotten much more badass without all his morals now. Still incredibly melodramatic but in an awesome way.

Yeah, found this episode great but needs some explanations , lots of surprises ( with Anya/Marianne, Marianne isn’t actually the beloved mother Lelouch thought she was, wonder if she didn’t plan her” execution” to trouble Lelouch and turn him crazy?!Waouh!!! This episode was amazingly weird but brought about a lot of material for the next ones, hope they gonna close up soon cause I can’t wait to see how it will turn out to be!!!!Maybe the enemy Lelouch will have to go against is not ” just his father” but also his own mother who seems to be witch - like. When she said “I’m not such a caring mother” it meant she’s a total bitch.
