LOL
Some actually think CC would have Cheese-kun in Ashford Academy storehouse, and in a box with a crazy threat written on it.
Rivalz knew Nina’s handwriting; they’re among the Student Council, right?

next ep.
Rolo uses his GEASS on Suzaku and Lelouch has to hurry and tell Nunally that he has to pretend not to know her, because Rolo’s Geass has the time limit on it.

[...] The aforementioned weakness mentioned in episode 5? [...]

Okay, first of all, Nunnally is happy because she doesn’t know. I forget the details, but it’s pretty obvious that she doesn’t know Zero’s identity, nor does she realize she’s being used by Suzaku.

The reason to hate on Suzaku is that he isn’t a stable character. He’s awesome to watch, for some, but he’s not realistic. If he wants to thwart Lelouch’s plans simply because he thinks Lelouch is an idealist nut, then by all means go ahead. Whoever’s side you pick is simply an opinion, so it doesn’t matter. Instead, he claims to be righteous, but also striving to help Japan, and uses underhanded ways to achieve this, making him a hypocrite. If it’s possible to question people’s faith in Lelouch, then it’s seriously also possible to question one’s faith in Suzaku. Does he really believe he can just rise to the top and save everyone? He wants to make peace with both Britannia AND Japan. All on his own. Isn’t he a bit of an idealist himself?

Basically, this whole series is based on hope and ideals, and whichever side you pick, the other is your enemy. There’s only a slight tip of the scale. I think Lelouch-supporters either prefer the idea of rebellion and violence (and not to get politcal, I think we’re all aware that this is a FICTIONAL STORY), or fall prey to the fact that the story is generally presented from Lelouch’s point of view, making him seem like “the good guy”.

Don’t hate; just my two cents.

Guys, you are all idealists.
Revolutions were never good. They may bring freedom for a limited amount of time, but the revolutioners themselves turn to be dictators later. Okay, I am not talking about French revolution or something that happened like centuries ago, but in the present time with countries with such military power, revolutions can not be good. I am saying this as a person who’ve seen a couple of “revolutions” in the area I used to live. Revolutions bring more deaths and uncontrollable desire for power.
Do you really believe it is possible for a fucking small nation like Japan to defeat such a powerful empire like Britannia? They don’t have enough manpower and Lelouch can’t do everything, one smart person is not enough.

1st season was the very evidence we need: once Zero was gone from the battlefield, his “comrades” gave up and lost.

People keep hating on Suzaku, and I will never understand that. Look at that whore Karen, she is being used by Lelouch and she does not have her own opinion, she is weak, naive and stupid. And so, even though she keeps fighting for her country’s “freedom” which will never be achieved, she is more pathetic than Suzaku.
Suzaku used Nunally. Oh NOOOOOES, HOW COULD HE USE A CRIPPLED, BLIND GIRL!!! POOR THING! AWWW…It’s not like Nunally minds apparently. She seemed fine to me, sitting in the middle of some fancy garden. As far as I remember, Lelouch was ready to kill his siblings with no hesitation. F***, he manipulates every single person out there – a Japanese, a Britannian, he does not care. Isn’t it pathetic and retarded? And all I see in Lelouch is revenge. All he wants is to avenge his mother’s death, and he is ready to use anyone to achieve that.

She’s more oneesama than ojou-sama; she’s not QUITE as haughty as the stereotype demands. Yes, she’s upper-class, but she doesn’t rub your face in it the way someone like Nagi from Hayate or any of the ojousamas from most of the other shows would. She’s just… very used to getting her own way, and will charm or tease or in general guide people into following her, rather than forcing them. That charm and gentle ‘velvet glove over an iron fist’ approach (although we’ve yet to see her wield said iron fist) is probably what I love most about her. Smart and sassy yet prim and proper, with an understanding of what she wants… but at the same time, she knows how to get it without demanding; people just bow to her, since she seems so reasonable.

As I said, ~~Tamaki~~ couldn’t help but respond to that – she probably just gave him a small smile and he felt compelled, or was eager, to offer her a dance. Lulu needs to take lessons in blackmail from her; the way he approached Viletta could’ve been finessed a lot more if he’d been able to pull tricks from Millay’s book.

@Kaioshin

Kanokon episode 5 actually had significantly less fanservice than the other episodes this season, especially 1-3.

@Bianktia

Next week looks to fulfill all of your desires. Lloyd and Cecile, as well as plenty of NPCs guaranteed to be kicking the bucket in combat episodes.

@Natasha

Plot device? I mean Suzaku is pretty oblivious to the real workings of the world if all of this is to be believed. But these types of characters are par for the course in Sunrise shows, they drive the plot. I mean, I hate Spinzaku with a fiery passion, but the plot wouldn’t be as interesting without him. I suppose you need someone to hate and generate rants like my own =) Makes rooting for Lelouch much much easier.

@Haesslich

Yeah she does have the onee-sama/ojou-sama vibe going on, I’ll grant that. I find those characters decent, but unless they are stumbling tsunderes like Takako from Otoboku they won’t rise to the top for me. And yes I was definitely surprised he pulled away from his skinship with Suzaku to dance with her.

@Zamses

Suzaku didn’t kill his father to save Lelouch and Nunally, he killed him because as Prime Minister of Japan he refused to surrender to Brittania. Suzaku wanted him to give up rather than adopt a do-or-die resistance. He does feel massively guilty over it, and for good reason. And his whole relationship with Euphie is both silly and screwed up, so I really try to avoid going into too much analysis of it. I gave my view in simple terms up with the episode commentary.

The entire basis of Suzaku’s ‘must support wantonly corrupt superpower’ complex is basically he killed his father in order to save the lives of Lelouch and Nunally, who were at the time Japan’s political hostages against Britannia. The whole Mao arc in Season 1 is about revealing how guilty he feels about killing his father. He feels the need to validate his actions. Basically he feels he must stand by his actions and prove that he is in the right. By this logic, he didn’t give a damn about Euphie. He just saw her as a symbol representing everything he wanted to believe about Britannia. Thus, when she dies, he loses a good portion of his innocence and ‘I can fuck with your head too’ Suzaku was born.

Calawain: Millay has that oneesama vibe, which is probably why I like her. That, and she even got ~~Tamaki Suou~~Gino to pay attention to her instead of to Suzaku. Now that’s something special.

Natasha: See Quisling, Vidkun for a definition of what Suzaku’s doing.

Personally, I feel that if some country overthrows your own and takes away your freedom, you should have the right to fight back and win your independence back. What i don’t understand, is why is Suzaku, a Japanese person allying with the people that are destroying his country? Does he honestly believe that change will occur when you play the underdog or the slave of the enemy? If the emperor said jump, Suzaku would response “how high.” LOL. :3 The greatest irony for me, is a British prince has been so destroyed by his own family, that he had led a revolution to overthrow it and bring freedom to the country. If the british royalty can turn against their own blood, whose to say that the emperor would keep his word to his soldiers? I just feel in the long run, that Suzaku is stupid and I don’t understand his character at all. I’m rooting for Lelouch, honestly I can relate to his need to fight, and I think in his situation, the only way to fight, is with violence, kill off his enemies one by one, starting with Suzaku. I’m not playing, if this characters doesn’t die by the end of this season. I’m going to stop watching.

I think Suzaku figures that if he keeps at it, eventually he’ll hit upon one of Lelouch’s female relations/loved ones that he WOULDN’T be willing to destroy, kill, and then metaphorically spit on her grave. After Lulu’s done with Nunally I suggest Suzaku try Kallen.

–S: Hey Kallen, still want to resurect Japan regardless of means, probablity of ultimate success, or consequences?
–K: Yup.
–S: Congratulations, it’s yours. I’m going to be laughing at you from the corner here, but don’t read anything into that. On an unrelated note do you have life-insurance?

Natasha — Mon, 05 May 2008 22:39:28 +0000

The one thing I don’t understand about Suzaku, is why is he such a baka? Why does he have the right to cry about losing friends and some stupid girl when Lelouch pretty much lost his entire family? Suck it out A**hole, I mean it was Suzaku’s choice to betray his bestfriend and join, for the lack of the better phrase, “the evil side,” so he should just live with the consequences of his actions. I’m honestly, rooting for his death. I guess, I now know what happened to Nunnally, I can’t believe that she would ever join forces with the same people that were responsible for her mother’s death. I mean, it’s the whole reason why she is blind, I would be angry over that. Doesn’t she miss her brother at all?

Oh noes! Lloyd and Cecille are back!!! I hope they don’t tag that table-humper Nina. Well, at least we can finally get over this school festival nonsense and get to killing more innocent by-standers again… and some soldiers. ^_^

Awwwwwwww I was hoping Crusader was going to rant about the fanservice so I could call him on it’s presence in Macross Frontier as well. I guess it was just Gundam that wasn’t allowed breasts then eh.

And I guess Episode 5 is the new fanservice episode in anime and not episode 8. All the episode 5’s I’ve seen this week seem to dish out the fanservice. Actually….well actually I’m not following To Love-Ru and Kanokon at all, but I assume it’s par for the course this week for those series.
