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.

But Conan isn’t changing the face of anime, it isn’t deep, and it won’t make you contemplate the meaning of life however it will entertaining you. I find it easy to fall in love with if you let yourself.
With any long running series it can be extremely intimidating to try to decide how to jump into the franchise.
