Geass talk.

Ah! AniDB updated their R2 page to list it as 25 episodes. So I guess Bandai knew what it was talking about after all.

The series has kind of gone crazy lately -- catching up even two episodes yesterday left me feeling kind of breathless. So many people have gotten their just deserts, which is satisfying, but they had to go and screw up a lot more to get there. =/ Well, whatever the case, it will be over soon, apparently. Plus, C.C. is back! \o/

Remember when I tried to describe series that focus on the same thing and spiral outwards as opposed to move in little, non-concentric circles? Another way to describe the spirals, perhaps, is the graph at the end of this post, where plot just takes off exponentially. Usually ending with a hurried and not-very-satisfying exposition. I can think of a billion shows that ended this way, that I loved a lot except for the mindfuck at the end. Not that I ever expected that Geass would not be the same.

I will make the skin, but with school looming around the corner, I'm not sure the timeframe. Sorry. =/

Incidentally, clean ED1 images are now available here. Too bad we've mostly gotten over them and have moved on to ED2 already...

I think I kind of get the spiraling analogy, and I do worry they've bitten off far more than they can chew in the last few eps (nearly went all Eva-Instrumentality on us!), but I trust Geass to pull it all together in the end. The impression I got was that they did a fine job of that in Season 1 anyway - after Euphinator, etc. it looked like the world was going to pieces, but the series "ended" in the cave with just Lelouch vs. Suzaku, a far more focused ending.

C.C.'s back! Though that was a rather low-key way to bring her back compared to the drama of Lelouch's returns as Zero.

One character that has definitely not gotten their just deserts yet: Nina. Geass can't end without Nina getting her due.
