Continuing my accidently mid 2000s nostalgia trip started with Haruhi, I've been rewatching Code Geass. And once again I must say, it's still 11/10 and should be watched instead of whatever seasonal slop currently airs.
I liked it but grew increasingly annoyed at it until I stopped liking it.
I'd never recommend it to anyone, unless they don't care about the mindlessness and complete absence of basic planning. I don't know why I expect anime to have good writing or at least sensible relationships / (geo)politics.
I said it before and Ill say it again, code geass got incredibly r-slurred when the main dude made the pink haired girl kill all these people 'accidentally'. They should have just ended the anime or whatever, but that was some major bullshit.
It was very dramatic and sure, the fact that Lelouch just happened to talk in a way that would accidently trigger such a command is a bit contrived, but does it create a good story? Yes.
I feel like the soundtrack carries a lot. Yeah it's now a little harder to accept all the silliness and cheesiness, but when that music hits you can't help but be invested.
I'm not there yet to have it fresh in my memory, but I dunno, I don't think it's much sillier than S1. Also I love the Chinese Federation arc so it can do no wrong in my book.
yeah s;g 0 is honestly not as bad as people claim it is but the big issue is mood and pacing, it has no idea if it wants to be a depressing drama or a corny comedy and you really can't switch back and forth every episode
Literally me, this was the first time I watched Steins;Gate, and I started watching Steins;Gate 0 like a week ago, pretty good so far, except of course, the corny and cringy scenes.
I got caught up on Fable and I think it's one of my favorites now.
I also read Girls Last Tour which was good but you could tell the author took heavy influences from Blame and Gako Gurashi. Which reminds me that I should try reading Blame again since I got half way through and then gave up.
Reading Insomniacs After School and how many times can somewhat grouchy MC fall in love with bubbly happy girl with body defect. Maybe it'll turn around later since I'm only half done but I'm skeptical this will be any good. So far I'd just say read I Want To Eat Your Pancreas, same story but less time waste.
Asides from Blame I think I want to reread Iruma-Kun since I think it's been long enough since I read it. New Houseki no Kuni too haven't read it but we gotta be near the end right?

I watched more of Assasination Classroom. It's entertaining, so that's good enough for me.
Main characters commentary is still mostly very redutant, and feels to be aimed at some very slow audience members.

Definetly written for a younger audience, but very solid for what it was

It was kino and previously established that as a geass grows in power, it can overwhelm the user and be impossible to turn off.

No it only creates a bad copout to keep the story going when it could and should have ended right there. It was r-slurred.

You think Lelouch laying down his arms and everyone living happily ever after at that point would have been a satisfying conclusion?
