I love yukke's style, if you happen to have pixiv please give him/her some love♥♥♥

Can’t really believe that it’s over. And I completed the whole series in the short span of a September! (Maybe a bit more to marathon the first season, though.)

It’s been really entertaining, and I’m kinda sad that it’s ended. What a dramatic ending, with that whole trail of blood down that slope. And I kind of like how he was, as one pixiv image states, The World’s Kindest Liar.

I don’t exactly hope Lulu will be some cart driver though, I don’t see how you deduce that some random cart driver whom I didn’t even consciously notice could be Lulu Resurrected ._.u Imagine that!

*…ALL HAIL CART DRIVER LULU! ALL HAIL CART DRIVER LULU! ALL HAIL CART DRIVER LULU!*

Furthermore, there were so many citizens (in the series) hating him, they wouldn’t want to be relieved for no good reason and forget to make sure he’s dead even if he’s somehow become immortal, right?

Nunnally (the new moe KIRA! character, as illustrated by KL-chan) would feel very cheated of her feelings too.

Hey, but maybe he could have had his soul transferred into Nunnally’s crane and that coulda been what C.C. was praying for and hey, he would have lost his entire harem but he still has C.C. by his side faithfully and she talks to him just like she talked to was-she-dead-or-not Marianne.In short: SUNRISE PLEASE DON’T REVIVE LULU IF YOU DON’T HAVE A GOOD PREMISE which we 48591241562318578922564.34156 fans haven’t figured out yet. What’s that, you say? The classic Deux Ex Machina? Some of us are getting sick of that crap.

Oh, and if Gundam 00 (I wonder if I should even try and catch up to something that’s part of the neverending Gundam franchise) is raking in enough from fujoshis and Gundam fanboys already, you don’t have to repeat the plot in CG, if what I hear about the similarities in plot/ending are correct.

Speaking of Gundam… Let me blind you with something interesting.

I heard this would bring in more pageviews from fujoshis. I think that's wrong. I have the feeling they will kill me instead since YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT MUHAhaha.

Speaking of that KIRA! meme, why hasn’t anyone done a crossover of Death Note and Macross?? (Or at least I haven’t seen any around.) I’d totally want to see Raiko and Lko doing that weird shineyshineyshiney thing. Instead of a mic they could be holding a deadly pen and preparing to have a deathnotegasm.

**SAKUJOU! SAKUJOU! SAKUJOU! made me rofl like crazy even though I didn’t continue the anime series after that.

…Please, let me blind you again?

This is somewhat more unseeable, but anyway. Kudos to Super Spycho on cr.

…

Alright, I won’t blind you anymore. I’ve been lurking pixiv and doing random stuff on lang-8 while neglecting my math. I’ve also been majorly mindscrewed by physics and I don’t know what to do to prepare for CHINESEDOOM and ENGLISHAGHWHYCAN’TISCORE tomorrow. I swear, I should have been in the Chinese stream and not the Higher Chinese stream.

Mind you, I'm still looking for a decent Gintama fanartist on pixiv.

I really love Kaiba~ And these two look really sweet together. There's quite a bit of fanart on pixiv.

Click for full-view to see everyone in Code Geass, even some characters whose names I can't remember for the life of me.

There’s a hell lot more decent fanart on pixiv (heck, I’m starting to get the feeling they’re all professionals but that can’t be true dammit you Japanese) ..I don’t mean the stuff I strike out, by the way.. and anyway I figured I should leave it to you guys to just go and find out for yourselves on pixiv Quite a lot are cute/ moe, quite a few pretty, a handful pretty hot, a few DANGITAMAZINGHOWDIDYOUDOTHAT and a lot of them really well-drawn. There are shitloads of KIRA! parodies

+ Code Geass is like totally owning the Top 100 Bookmarked Images list there.

Last one for the lulz:

It's so much funnier zoomed in, though.

Brits vs. Black Knights. Oh, and I love this drawing style.

So I’m slow. In catching up with the more popular (not necessarily better) anime series, that is. I know. Which is why, being a slacker with no grasp of time management, I have managed to marathon the first season in, oh, three days at most? And I started on R2 today, and I’m at around episode 18. I tell you, my EYAs are shot to hell. But firstly, my homework. As for my foot drill test, I’m leaving it to luck and my ability. (On second thoughts, this applies to most of everything I do.)

But that’s besides the point. Dear Lulu has given me so much entertainment these past few days.

I love the linework. Hm, someone told me this was the way to go for more pageviews

Now I’m not one who particularly likes watching ‘politics’-based shows, or those involving devious strategists and whatnot– Gundam 00 kind of started to bore me after episode 3, while I probably just jumped on the bandwagon for Death Note but either way got bored when LADIES– but seeing as to how I’ve taken quite nicely to Code Geass despite the ridiculous voice of Fukuyama Jun as Lulu (ugh, I especially hate his Zero voice just like I hate Christian Bale’s voice when he does Batman), as well as the fact that I loved Ender’s Game a few years back, I might just consider trying them out again once I’ve got free time. IF I don’t get distracted too easily again, that would mean the December holidays, but this year my lack of time management is entirely off the charts, so I wouldn’t count on that.

Contrast. Phew, the legs are mostly hidden. But the shoulders…

I don’t happen to nitpick the plot that often since I’m not very sharp. But as for the art, you wouldn’t even call it nitpicking.. I mean CLAMP does a great job for the manga versions (except for their inability to draw anything but anorexic bishies – just look at the legs and arms), but as for the anime art, though the animation’s fluid, and mecha scenes still manage to keep my interest, characters look okay after a while since animation’s fairly consistent, I can’t say I love it. From the front, most of the faces drawn are fine (albeit always too angular), but the side profiles are the worst sometimes. Really, just look at it. Specifically the Angry/Emo/Angsty Lulu ones. The Fingers are quite horrid too.

Lulu angsts.. a lot. But 'nuff said, take a look at the fingers…

Another thing is that I can’t help but start to laugh whenever Zero does one of his speeches. It is almost never complete without exaggerated hand-movements. That voice also contributes to the reason that I am so amused by it, I believe.

Summarised thoughts on characters so far:- Kallen is rather too tsundere for me, lol. But she sure kicks ass. A real pity she’s reduced to a mere woman (=fanservice) in R2, sigh. And despite C.C.’s outright advertisement for Pizza Hut (They even rendered that crazy Cheese Fondue or whatever it’s called pizza), I rather liked her (moreso before her memory loss in R2, but anyway). As for Lulu, he’s fine without the maniacal laughter that simply must be there at least once every 5 episodes. Granted, he’s quite the genius (at least in his little 2D fictional world), and a better strategist than I will ever be, but he’s quite the siscon… Furthermore, he liked Shirley, that good-for-nothing bimbo.

If Lulu wants an org– I mean, harem, this is it. Daw, isn't he loved.

That said, Rollo is still a bastard for killing her since she didn’t mean any harm to him nor to Lulu (I’ll take her word for it), and being jealous just because of his pathetic buracon. In fact his presence is quite uncalled for. Except for the oh-so-amusing Lulu x Rollo scenes and fanart. Quite disturbing how that even forms a whole fanbase (KL-chan included), but I’m not too surprised now since G00 has spawned such a fandom just based on the fujoshis (sirane included) already. Suzaku is another Syaoran clone, I believe? Suzaku is.. another very contradictory human. Euphie was a manifestation of Lulu’s secret desire for a yandere in the series. No, really. a tragedy. Nina is indeed a lesbian retard, her face when Euphemia died was like the Higurashi girls gone crazy, only a thousand times more unpleasant on the eyes. I see it has spawned several ’shopped versions of other characters on danbooru. Lloyd (especially his voice) is gay. Oh and Sayoko is the greatest ninja ever, while Li Xingke is worshippable prodigy. Too bad he is a lolicon and will die for such a sin.

Main characters for R2.. Pretty decent fanart, I might say.

…That’s all for now, not much to say about the music (bgm is mostly orchestrated :3 and ops/eds are ookay..) or plot (I told you, I’m not sharp enough). Have I told you that I love to ramble? That’s really all I am bothered to do nowadays it seems. :C It’s a bad habit but I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon. But I shall relieve you of any further pain from reading my horrible ramblings by ending soon D:

Random note, I’ve applied for JLPT Level 3 even though I’d aspired to try for Level 2 this year. :\ It’s quite irritating how Level 3 seems too easy while Level 2 seems too hard. Sigh. Speaking of languages, though, Italian is such a pretty language. A pity learning languages requires commitment/passion and time.

I realise I’ve been neglecting Tetsuwan Birdy: DECODE. ‘Tis sad.

This is Lulu. (Is -ko even needed?) CAN YOU UNSEE IT? CAN YOU?!

P.S. Geass, or rather geis, or geasa -plural- which I assume the word is based on, is pronounced gesh. Sounds horrible, don’t you think? Which is why, I suppose, they decided to coin their own word. Or maybe they just thought it would sound cool to use some rare word.

P.P.S. More picspam below:

A special request made by megane-fetishists

Lulu, pimping out. Britannia, Dark Knights, bring it on – Pizza Hut will conquer all

Note the two (ridiculous) characters in the air. That said, I love the design of this costume.

Cheese-kun is Japan's Pizza Hut mascot

Someone told me to leave this for last

/randomise/ In conclusion, Code Geass is a really popular franchise now… It’s not bad, actually, quite action-packed most of the time, and deserves that popularity, but I think they could have toned down the fanservice. Especially the BL subtext. (Is it really even subtext anymore?!) Also, Fan-pandering and picspam is probably good for pageviews.

If you would excuse me, I have a foot drill test tomorrow. Dammit.
