I watched more anime in the last 3 days as compared to the first three months of this year. Wow. So anyways, this means that I’ve catched up with the latest Naruto and D.Gray-Man. I still have a few more episodes before catching up with Bleach but a lot more to catch up on for Katekyo Hitman Reborn and I’ve almost finish Rental Magica and Dragonaut ~the Resonance~.

I know that I’m suppossed to be revising for the Mid-Year Examinations and ‘O’ Levels and all but what can I say? I just have to pick up new series!

The new series that I’m picking up this season are;
CODE GEASS R2!! (Duh, already watched it even)
Blassreiter (Dunno what’s it about, but gonna give it a go anyways)
The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of URUK~ (Gonna give this a try as well)
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D

Yes, I know some of you are thinking, “Yu-Gi-Oh!!!!????”. Lol, I know it’s a bit…..I dunno….but I watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh! (Complete! =P), then followed on to Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (though missed out on a lot of the later episodes), so why not continue? It’s a for fun thing.

The long awaited second season of Code Geass: Lelouch of The Rebellion has finally aired in Japan today! And with it, came the opening. My thoughts on the new opening? Hmm….nothing special, I guess. The song is good but it just doesn’t seem right with Code Geass. It’s lacking something that was present in the first opening of Code Geass, which was Colors by FLOW. And it sounded kind of….happy?

Ah, anyways, the season looks promising. There are more new characters from the Knight of the Rounds, the Chinese Federation and such and not to mention more Knightmare Frames that actually looks nice (Only Lancelot, Guren and Gawain was notable in the first season).

I’ve only listened to the song 3-4 times only so I still haven’t really get the feeling of the song. UVER’s songs usually takes some time for me to actually like it (with only a few exceptions). But from the 3-4 times that I listened to it, I think that the animation and song does not synchronise well and therefore some may dislike this new opening. But if I only listened to the song and ignored the animation, the song is actually quite nice, and very similar to UVER’s other songs.

Yay! More spoilers and pictures for the new season of Code Geass. Finally something good happened this week, albeit its already kinda late with the holidays ending soon and all but…who cares.

Anyways, back to Code Geass. I won’t post the pictures myself but I’ll provide with links instead since people have already gone through the trouble of uploading.

My thoughts on the spoilers:
Well, to put it simply, a lot has changed.
- Nina has had a total makeover
- Lelouch has changed (He looks more friendlier, whether thats just a facade still remains a question)
- Kallen is where now? In some facility?
- CC is leading the Black Knights instead of Lelouch?
- Viletta is teaching PE in Ashford
- Suzaku has been promoted (That much we know from previous pictures and its not such big surprise)
- Lelouch is seen holding a White King chess piece instead of the usual Black (in the PV) I think that means something

A lot of questions is arousing and people have already started speculating. I, myself, don’t know what to think anymore. I don’t really like speculating so I think I’ll just wait and see.

One more month till Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2.

Well, it’s actually only four new scans that I found while browsing through Minitokyo. Anyway, R2 seems to be getting better and better and I really can’t wait to watch it. I really really hope it won’t be a letdown and I also hope that my studies will not get affected in any way. The scans are all heavily resized because the original scan are really very big. So if you want the original size of the scan, head to Minitokyo and download it there. I think the uploader needs to be given some credit.

Suzaku looks good with his angsty (is there even such a word, I know angst but angsty . . ?) new look and there are quite a number of new characters to be introduced. Hmm…looks promising.

CC’s new outfit is black, eh? Looks nice. And Rollo (Lelouch’s brother?) looks so gay.

I think Rollo really is gay… Anyway, this is probably the main cast for R2.

The guy from the . . . Chinese Federation? 

I can’t help but notice that there isn’t any picture of Kallen for R2. I wonder if that means something…Maybe she really was the one who got shot…but still alive nevertheless, as proven by the trailers.

Rejoice, it’s finally out. A good thing it came out today, something to get my mind off SPA (refer to post below for details, if interested). Download links are found below.
Credits for original upload goes to NIPPONSEI.

I found this when I was browsing a forum today. Looks good, I’ll say. Can’t wait for the second season to air in April. Hopefully, it won’t cause me to lose focus in my studies. =P

The audio quality is a bit low, but I guess that’s not really important.
