I suppose what you mentioned isn’t the kind of wish fulfillment I get out of Geass, since I find it most enjoyable when Lulu gets pwned. Also, his harem is mostly not my type.

I didn’t say C.G. sucks. It’s just another big series that had potential. I still watch it, but it’s not that my analysis spoiled my fun - I wouldn’t like it more if I just kept watching without knowing, noticing the authors’ aims and tricks. You, however, cannot understand this, because you (apparently) want to achieve pleasure by turning off your brain.

In my country there is a saying that a fool is a happy man. Using this strategy, knowing that e.g. you enjoy this series while ignoring the facts, it would be reccomended for everyone to be an ignorant gullible idiot. Way to go.

Shallow for the win!

It’s a known fact that “The mere comprehension of a statement entails the tacit acceptance of its being true - whereas denial requires a subsequent process of rejection.”

With this assumption, it’s quite obvious that people don’t think about why they watch something, or why they don’t do it, or why there is no point in watching something. I think one should try to analyse the world around(or at leas its small part that is of the greatest importance for one) - in order to understand it better and be able to be in control of no only his actions, but the expected reactions.

Liking Code Geass only because ‘It’s Kewl’, or ‘There’s a lot of depth to the plot’ is a very shallow way of thinking. At the very beginning of these series, I decided to watch it because the Geass works a lot like the Death Note, the protagonist is apparently trying something that has a lot of sense and indeed allows to bring depth to the plot. AND, it was cool because that friggin eye reminds me of Kakashi ;)

But then, unfortunately, C.G. became too popular to be an anime with a deep plot or references to the actual processes that used to change the shape of the world. Instead, we have a focus on moe, brainless action and robots. Evidently, the author(s) had no intention of making a good series anyway ;/

“GOD DAMN IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW”
Well said, Koji Oe. Too bad for you, you’re probably already addicted to this series ;)
Not that it should bother you, if it’s still fun to watch.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks for the insight!

THAT BASTARD!

I won’t say otherwise now.

One thing Lelouch needs to do is to use his 1337 Raep drug, cmon, he can bend wills… I mean…

this is like 50% joke entry

Besides, there’s nothing wrong with pandering. I loved Hayate to death, but it’s a pretty blatant otaku wish-fulfillment story.
