This anime deserves a post on its own. Having just watched the last episode of Code Geass R2, which is most definitely the last episode of the entire series, I am declaring that it is the:
And I am not joking. I remember stating in a recent blogpost that it is the best anime, but now I am stating that it is the best, and will be the best forever, and ever. I cannot even imagine how anything will even come close.
Having watched about 34728379347 anime series (approximation), Code Geass stands alone, at the top by far, as the one which has left the deepest impact on me, and made me talk about it the most.
There's Bleach and Naruto which the whole world recognizes, and watches, but what special thing is there other than for "RAAAAAH CHIONG AHHH!! POWER UP!! BOOM! KILL ENEMY! RAHHHH YES I WIN!!" involved? Code Geass has got me thinking about the human intricacies, human weaknesses, human wishes, and the human behaviour which stops man from attaining these wishes. Geass, as a concept, is simply brilliant. Being able to symbolise so many things, it can be interpreted to be a power which is plain and simple, that is, the power to subjugate people's will. But reading between the lines, the definition of Geass is unlimited. Anything more I say will become a spoiler.
And so, I implore you, anime watcher or not, to watch Code Geass. Watch it not because I said it was good, but watch it because it is riveting. And earthshaking. And fabulous. And
ivan fed the world.
