Behind schedule, but my top series in given categories for the year behind, 2008:
Tag: Code Geass
Finally Gundam 00
Posted by - September 13, 08
Yes, I managed to finish this super-solid first season in light of the coming sequal. Why the hell didn’t I finish it until now? Not sure, but, I’m glad to be amped for next month.
Most of my Gundam 00 episodic impressions can be found at melative, but I will say this about Gundam 00: It surpasses Code Geass by a big margin. Which sort of redeems the Sunrise in my eyes, after R2… but doesn’t G00 predate R2 O.o
My real beef is that, Code Geass S1 was quite a good series, and ended decently, but G00 had a much better first season than Geass. Now, if Sunrise decided to take to R2 form with this second season of G00, I will be _______. Right!
Simply, here are some points G00 has over Geass, which Sunrise could totally FFFF:
- Composure (G00 was well-oiled, Geass was shredded tranny)
- Beauty (Space-Beautiful vs ugly persona, or die)
- Resolve (G00 has a handle to grasp, Geass is excite bike on acid)
- Identification (I can feel for members of Celestial Being, Geass everyone has un-human decision-making skills)
- Meaning (Eradicate war vs the world as a chess board)
- Justification (sound flow to Geass’s inverse variant of logic)
- Romance (mine as well, even if it is faint… Setsuna and Marina have a deeper relationship than everyone in Geass except Lulu X Suzaku)
Har Har. Whether I exaggerate or not, I still believe Gundam 00 has more wholesome attributes than Geass, and by far a more invigorating watch, without the eyerolls and doggie bag.
Nogizaka Haruka, Cleanup on aisle R
Posted by - August 27, 08
After Geass R2, it’s necessity to come back to something this sugary good. Nogizaka Haruka is just that, coincidentally, I have a feeling Michael has a similar take. ^^
This should have been posted 3 days ago, but weekend, cycling, work, and semester start were a bog. If I were to choose another series to clean up R2’s mess, perhaps Hayate would fill nicely. When on earth am I going to continue that… eternally paused, you could say (that’s how Mois-dono would put it, she’s adorable).
Midweek
Wednesday’s are peculiar, I’m not at home, but I only have half-day. Tuesdays and Thursday’s are full days, but I’m staying downtown for midweeks until December, thus I have little access to seasonal objectives; hopefully I’ll be able to stock up on Mondays and Fridays.
Rather than seasonal, I’ve round up another 20 episodes of Keroro and Gintama to enjoy, since serialized comedy is quite relaxing, but I’m moderate with them (no reason to marathon for these things). When I return Friday, the agenda is Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu and Xam’d HD.

How about this…
I think it’s “Fuck Ya” material.
Edit: I can’t believe I mini-marathoned 19 episodes of this in two short evenings, the brain is fried.
