Nina dies in a fire and other wishful thoughts about Code Geass.

6 Comments

In part two of our guest appearance on the Ani-Gamers podcast we talk about Code Geass seasons 1 and 2. With Evan we explore our thoughts and theories on many topics including the series ending, the flow of the story, our reaction to bizarre parts of fandom, and why Nunnally was the best character ever. It’s only one podcast so while we discuss what really stood out for us, we barely scratch the surface of the series as a whole. We are warning everyone now that you might as well assume we spoil everything including details about the conclusion and who lives and dies. Also we discuss the greatest and most guarded secret only known to a handful in the Code Geass community: What Kallen Stadtfeld’s face looks like.

We did our first formal guest spot on Manga Out Loud this week. We had a long discussion with Ed about the first three books of Mechademia which sometimes went on wild tangent. But Ed has done a good job editing it down to a respectable 1 hour show. We go though the strengths and weaknesses of the series as well as noteworthy articles. We have an article about the third Mechademia coming up next week focusing on the Gundam essay. You can go back and read our reviews of the first and second volumes, too.

Drink #005: Summer Gin Punch, Suspension of disbelief (or lack thereof).

You are watching a movie and then you notice something. Maybe it’s a machine you use at work that you know does not work that way; maybe it is the incorrect presentation of the rules of a sport you play; or maybe just a piece of dialog that rings untrue. The second you realize something is off  you spend the rest of the movie picking it part. You have been taken out of the movie and cannot get back in. We use the movie Summer Wars as a spring-board to examine this phenomenon and how it shapes our perception of a work.
