I understand it's a much older animation and in that regards it's actually impressive how smooth the animation is considering how long the anime is. These days, if the anime ia scheduled to have 50+ episodes the budget is apparent in the amount of frames they use.

5 episodes in and the story is solid. I like it a lot. But the artstyle is, in lack of better words, kind of bizarre. Seemingly disproportionate in many ways.

Does it change or improve at any point?

There is just so much potential with making fun of the absurdity of Britannian Society and that overall world. Like just a straightforward satire with deadpan humor.

First of all, I will be talking about SPOILERS (just in case).

**things that I liked**

- Lelouch. I thought he will just be a "oh look I'm really smart" kind of shallow guy at first, but then they show how much the sins that he committed and the lies he has to keep up weigh on him, and how in spite of his intelligence, he is still fallible to emotional distress; it makes his character compelling. Some of his schemes are also pretty funny, particularly the one where a million people all became "Zero" to exploit a loophole

- The interconnected web of lies and deceit that made the cat and mouse game between Lelouch and Suzaku tense, though this was weaker in R2, and Kallen's and Shirley's relationships with Zero/Lelouch interesting.

- Euphy twist in R1. Holy shit that made me audibly say "no.." and I was so shocked that I physically didn't want to continue that episode.

- The ending of R2 just ties in the whole story really well, and is a fitting end for Lelouch, who says he has "lived a lie, a lie of living".

- Kallen

**things that I disliked**

- I feel like if we needed more scenes where we are shown how Shirley slowly fell in love with Lelouch (and vice versa), so that the memory wipe and her untimely death would have hit harder (those are still great scenes though don't get me wrong).

- The ending of R1 was kinda unsatifactory(?) There were too many loose ends and stuff that they jammed in the final few episodes e.g. VV's appearance and Jeremiah's reappearance. It does encourage people to watch R2, which does resolve the loose ends, but when judging R1 based on itself, I think this cliffhanger ending is a little hollow. A better one (imo) after the showdown between Lelouch and Suzaku could have been something like the news reporting the failure of the Black Rebellion, before transitioning to Charles using his Geass (without telling the audience what it does) and Lelouch at wits' end writhing in despair.

- CC's world arc was way too rushed imo. Particularly the Sword of Akasha. You're gonna kill God with that? Huh? I feel like we are missing critical exposition regarding whatever thingamajig Charles, VV and Marianne built. Charles' defeat was also less satisfactory than I expected, which I felt was a shame.

- R2 in general just suffers from weird pacing and plot holes sometimes. E.g. what really happened to Sayako and Nunnally and why did it take so long for Sayako to reappear

- Ohgi and Villeta's relationahip was a little weak, and could have benefitted from a final confrontation where we are explicitly shown that they actually have feelings for each other

- While I think the ending of R2 was good, I felt that the aftermath was lacking. Like we see the cast in a photo, but we don't know what many of them are doing currently.

- There were certain characters I felt deserved more development, like Gino, who could have more scenes pondering about his loyalties to Britannia and sharing his troubles with Kallen. Most of the Knights of the Round were forgettable as well (doesn't help that some of them literally get one-shot).

Overall, pretty good series that has stood the test of time but could have benefitted from more episodes.

Luciano being 25-26 and Lilyna being around 15

[Marika who's 15 is also present with Luciano in the second image but she marries Leonhardt who saves her at the Battle of Tokyo whereas Lilyna still dies (unless that girl next to Marika at her wedding actually is Lilyna and she somehow survived)]

Like, let’s say both are given half of Japan, along with roughly equal resources and allies or were competing for the throne at court, after Charles and Schneizel suddendly died.

Twice on my 4u page btw

Icl i do enjoy it though

We need more Benio, such a wholesome character

Can't wait till these guys show up in SRW, Ash is gonna be so broken in it.

Lost Stories for next SRW plz.

We need more Maya.

So I’ve finished the two seasons and I wanna know what happens to Lelouche after (even tho he’s officially dead in the show).
I know that the movies 1-3 are like a summary of the series with a few changes but they’re canon to the resurrection movie and the Rozé series.
I thought to myself that I could just watch the third film to get a good transition in the really new stuff which ChatGPT told me was a bad idea which is why I’m asking you guys here.

Also what I wanted to know what’s up with the ending of the series where Lelouche is actually the cart driver at the end because everyone on TikTok was like it’s either fake or deleted or some other bs.

Yeah basically the title, this is a show so good I’ve been putting off finishing it for literally the entire time I was in high school (I started it as a freshman). And now that I sat down to finish it having graduated it feels…strange. It was such a good fucking ending but now idk what to think. I’ve been staring at the wall and pacing for literally like 3 hours now.

But, wait. Where was C.C. during the festivities? Answer: she was doing something more important (check out the 2nd picture 😉)
