it was fun but nothing up until the last few episodes felt like it was actually part of a cohesive narrative

>>289097389
But every sequel and spinoff going forward has used it instead of the original series. At this point the original is basically the alt universe all alone by itself. Then again all the sequels and spinoffs have sucked balls so at least they're not tarnishing the original continuity.

>>289097449
This was the anime that convinced me that dropping midway is sometimes the right thing to do. I had completed every anime I started previously.

>>289087588

>>289089280
S;G's ending is an overrated asspull

>>289100487
What makes it an asspull?

>>289101041
Getting a perfect solution from your future self that conveniently fixes every possible problem with no downsides? Way too easy especially for an ending not earned within what we're following from in the story itself.

>>289101869
How is it an asspull to have a worldline where the big bad ww3 is prevented among infinite possible timelines and also the entire story up to that point has been them sending messages to themselves in the past and changing the world line through doing that?
Future okabe also does not give his past self some step by step guide, it was more like a pep talk + a hint and it even goes wrong at the very end requiring okabe to improvise.
There pretty much are no downsides aside from undoing essentially all the time the characters spent together until that point and their relationships/experiences aside from okabe alone remembering but why do there have to be some massive downsides? Of course with the anime you don't have to go through the other endings etc to reach the true ending like in the VN but the anime does adapt the true end well and it doesn't feel undeserved

Classic case of "happy ending is le bad"

>>289087588
Geass can be used in animals? Stupid question but it something it has been around my mind since the end of the show.

>>289087588
So far nope, and anime original rarely produced these days.

Who cares? Everything gets ruined for money. You just ignore the bad shit that was released after the original show, like with Madoka.

>How is it an asspull to have a worldline where the big bad ww3 is prevented among infinite possible timelines and also the entire story up to that point has been them sending messages to themselves in the past and changing the world line through doing that?
You forgot the part where half of the story is about trying to change things in the past and failing to change the worldline almost completely arbitrarily. And that was something as simple as saving one person's life.
WW3 is not something you just stop with one guy doing a time travel sleight of hand. Steins;Gate was a always a shallow story this part took me out of it completely.

>>289106178
>You forgot the part where half of the story is about trying to change things in the past and failing to change the worldline almost completely arbitrarily.
They were fucking around with it at first until okabe finally realized that small changes can have massive effects when the entirety of akihabara had changed. He was able to undo/fix a lot of what he had changed but some things were not that simple which is logical and it still was possible to save mayuri but that required going to the world lines where kurisu dies, did you even watch the show?
And besides, you're moving away from how the ending was an "asspull" with this point to begin with. I don't understand your logic that half the story being about sending messages to the past makes the end where he sends a message to the past and finally succeeds an asspull.

>WW3 is not something you just stop with one guy doing a time travel sleight of hand
Yes it is if you make it so that the one guy who ended up igniting ww3 is not able to do so and the way to pull that off was to "trick the world" by doing a sleight of hand, again, did you even watch the show?

If you don't like steins;gate that's fine, it's a timetravel story that will have some form of bullshit in it and if you can't handle that then it's simply not for you but your arguments here are frankly complete dogshit

>>289106178
The show made great efforts to show cases of the butterfly effect. The change in vegetables or meat changing Rukako's sex*, the time travel paper being purged from the timeline due to the metal oopa, the entire development of a city present or gone due to one man's investment choice dependent upon his relationship with his daughter, etc.
Simultaneously it does this via showing the further the changes go, the more drastic the butterfly effect goes. So if a city/country can be different in a mere decade, it stands to reason that that same logic can extend to the world.

>>289106755
Forgot to include the * part of it.
* The Rukako sex thing was honestly the weakest part of it due to being established allready via known science that that's not how it works, whereas it can handwave away the quantum science BS.
Possible headcanons would be:
1) She wasn't actually pregnant at the time, just thought she was, and the actual fertilization happened later (women can miss their periods after all)
2) Fraternal twins and the diet change simply changed which one survived
3) Possible genetic condition and all it changed was the expression due to gene activation/suppression and the genetics remained the same.

that's so over the top it's funny in an endearing enjoyable way
but you then assume people are "ironically enjoying" one of the best OP of all time?
no we just normally enjoy it and going JIBUUUUUUN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO is a funny enthusiastic way of shouting out/joining in with an ICONIC OP line that literally everyone recognizes immediately
Jibun Wo is not "so bad it's good" ironic bullshit

Lelouch being hunted down by Orange, only to then semi-asspull a Gefyon disturber network rigged to the train as his big master plan to trap Orange once and for all... only for that TWIST to then be turned on its head by an even bigger, ASTRONOMICAL level asspull of a twist, where Orange is ACTUALLY a hyper loyalist to Lelouch's dead mom and will now pledge ULTIMATE LOYALTY as the ULTIMATE ANTI-GEASS WEAPON to Lelouch's cause... THAT is something one could enjoy "ironically" because you KNOW it's over the top to the point of being nonsensical, but it's so audacious you love it.

Code Geass is:

And then you can skip 2/3rds of season 2 and watch the last part. I'd have to do a rewatch but everything before the second battle of Tokyo is crap.

>>289141362
>face of this franchise is Lelouch
There really is no Code Geass without Lelouch. Everything else just feels like generic mech anime without him.
Code Geass is about Lelouch (and Suzaku) fucking around and getting into hijinks.

I don't get why people think Lelouch being alive is supposed to ruin the experience or something.
Faking his death always made the most sense, political stuff aside he still had a role in the world both as someone in charge of handling geass stuff as well as CC's companion.
>muh nunally
He already set her up for life, got Suzaku to protect her for life and would probably still keep an eye out for her in the shadows
>muh principles/morals of deceiving everyone
Nigga he always played the long game and used any methods as long as it was for a noble cause and for something that his loved ones wanted. Like when he decided to use geass on Nunally because even though she didn't agree with his methods he understood they had the same underlying goal.
The alt universe movie would have been fine if it didn't turn him into some disabled retard that was brought back to life because CC was too obsessed to let go, I would rather he just purposefully left himself an out to revive and agreed on CC helping him carry it out if needed.

Anon, shes dead.

The movie "changes" were just because of the format. Try actually watching other things the studio does, like Gundam. Any other time since they cover Res stuff they keep her dead.

She only "lived" in the movies because they didn't have time to do her arc, Goro Taniguchi was pretty explicit on that being the only reason. But that has no bearing on anything made since which leaves her dead.

>>289149036
>it doesn't matter because now the cope moves to "Nunally has magic powers"
Yes. They showed this in the scene where she knows Lohmeyer is lying to her and why Suzaku doesn't want to let her touch his hand after he lies to her.

>to "well they always intended for Lelouch to survive
No, thats called "retconning"
People have been doing that for hundreds of years of storytelling.

When you watch this show you kind of get upset halfway through and by the end of it you're like yeah i knew this pile of garbage would unravel in such a nonsensical and worthless manner it's total ass. All of it was for fucking nothing and le society "won". What a pile of garbage. Just fucking write up an ending where the friends reunite and pull off some elaborate scheme to deceive everyone, that's what it was about from the beginning right? le douche suddenly lost it and wanted to die or something what a fuckin pile of horseshit

Ohgi got off too easy, even in the movies.

I still don´t understand Orange´s reaction to this. Sure he was in the loop as well as Nina and all those serving Rurushu willingly but he was always an emotional and extremely loyal guy, could that kind of man really allow Suzaku to pass and just give the retreat order? Wouldn´t he have tried to stop Suzaku for real or, failing that, decided to die along his lord?

Season 1 was alright. Snoozed during the rest and watched Hamtaro instead. Dunno why nu/a/ is so insecure to insist about "mature themes" like as if they aren't unable to do so irl.
Pic related is far more entertaining

You aren't familiar with the figure of and subsequently Japanese love of Benkei, then. Thats the style of character they turned him into.

he was in on it

I had no idea Tamaki's voice actor died in 2016. Watching the movies for the first time, it's kind of jarring. The musics different, the mix of old footage and new is kinda hilarious.

I feel Suzaku should have gotten a lot more respect and love from the Fandom even after the shows airing. He was the only true idealistic hero. Everyone else was just edgy, flashy, anime anti hero cliches that looked good but are horrible people.

Suzaku was a huge hypocrite
