    Another 2 Bangers!! It was so cool finally getting to meet Rakshata and see Schneizel. That last episode left on a crazy cliffhanger and we're itchin' for more!!
    We're on track to finish the first season by the end of March (if all goes according to plan) and would LOVE to cosplay for the finale like we did with Gurren!!
    If you'd like to help donate to the cosplay fund to make that possible it would mean the world to us and help greatly 🙏 either way thank you for being here and going on this journey with us!! 💜

    It’s interesting that y’all are pushing for Lelouch to become a more calculated leader! This is usually an unlikable trait, since people usually value empathy. I think Lelouch having empathy in these moments is what separates him from his father.

      I know right. Lelouch cares a lot,and definitely not cold and calculated regarding his friends, and could get very emotional to the point of being irrational. I thought the Shirley's arc and Mao confrontation with Suzaku part should have gotten that point across regarding his character trait, but apparently it still didn't..

    You said Rakshata was smarter than Lloyd... That airship and weapon were both based on concepts that Lloyd developed. They're both smart as Hell. Look no further than the Lancelot and Guren.
    So Schneizel is one of the smartest and most powerful people in Britannia. He seeks to be Emperor. And he employs Lloyd. When they mention Lloyd's boss or benefactor, they mean Schneizel. Lloyd develops concepts and Schneizel has them built. All Lloyd wants is to work on his passion projects, like Lancelot.
    All of this is done in service of taking the throne. To prove himself as someone worthy and then challenge the Emperor. This is something you need to be aware of in all his decisions. It's all in service of his goal.

    Another banger reaction and review.
    Josh, u dont have to feel bad about being frustrated with Suzaku. We all are. His ideals are hypocritical in nature bcuz he fights for a system that goes against all that he believes in. He doesnt want to kill ppl but he's put in the position of an executioner. That is so ironic its not even funny. But he still blindly follows their rule believing that maybe eventually he can change that from within. At the same time, what's going to happen with all the ppl sacrificed along the way. In that regard, Lelouch is kinda doing the same but he is aware of that needing to happen even tho, he himself, depending on the ppl that needs to be sacrificed, also is unsure and his resolve gets shacky.
    All in all cant wait for the rest of season 1. Also reminder to skip reading titles :P its for ur own good.

      No we aren't. Lelouch, Suzaku and C.C. are my favourite characters in the entire show in that order.
      Suzaku is the least understood in the entire show by a wide margin and it shows because a lot of people just choose to hate him instead of reading him. It's the same thing with Nina. People don't pay attention, make up their own 1D conclusions and spend the rest of the episodes defending that view instead of paying attention to what the show is saying. There are NO badly written characters in CG. And that goes doubly for a main cast like Suzaku.

Kinda like saying "skip the bad parts/filler of X show!", like yeah you can, and it probably is a better experience, but personally I like to evaluate a work of art in it's totality, and have enough faith in them as reactors/reviewers that they have the media literacy to suspend their judgement with awareness of how those elements contribute to the whole...
