uh oh (here we go)

"i envy you kids today... you have so much time on your hands" tell me why this sounds like every conversation i have with my mom

the way ohshc has truly ruined the name tamaki for me forever...

"if the king doesn't lead, how does he expect his people to follow" okay yes that's an interesting philosophy but also... that's bad chess???

"we've gotta get to SCHOOL" uhhh i think there are MORE IMPORTANT THINGS HAPPENING AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME

i don't know who this boy is but i do know i will die for him

OH NO ????? OH NO IS HE

ohhh i like him! he's cute (character immediately gets shot)

NOT AGAIN JESUS CHRIST

i'm a simple creature. someone says the word "Ragnarok" in any context, i go absolutely feral

THE SAXOPHONE..... NOOOO NOT THE SAXOPHONE IN THIS DRAMATIC SCENE... WHY AM LAUGHING

suzaku: i look pretty good for a dead bitch
me: HE'S ALIVE!!!

i love how this man's first thought isn't like "oh gee, the person piloting this giant metal suit, whose face i can't see, who just shot at me must be an enemy combatant who took over the suit from one of my soldiers" and is instead "friendly fire????"

"YOU HEARD HIM, DO WHAT THE VOICE SAYS" SIR??????

LANCELOT??????

i spent like five minutes thinking hang on the aesthetic of this show really reminds me of something and i JUST FIGURED IT OUT (only 90s kids remember)

see this is what happens when you fight from inside giant mech suits you don't know who the fuck you're FIGHTING

"in the midst of battle, he rescues someone" why am i SOFT

"we used to play chess together as boys, except i would always win" is that... really the most important thing to mention right now... like i get it but also.... is that Really the most important detail at this moment in time

there are so many fucking kids in this family oh my goddddddddd

"you can't change the world without getting your hands dirty" [immediately cuts to club meeting]

"supple and willing, that's what I like" honey that's gaaaaaaaaaay

"that's why she looks so familiar" well she is the only girl we've seen who has that precise magenta-colored hair

did she just.... karate chop a BEE

oh no the paper cranes :(((((

"what just happened" if that ain't just the biggest mood

coin pouch that turns into a knife..... where do i buy one

the dichotomy between the mundane high school stuff and having a secret life as some kind of freedom fighter/killer is giving me death note vibes for some reason

tuxedo mask is that you

omg lelouch holding suzaku in his arms as he sails away.... the romance of it all... the DRAMA

god he's such a fucking boy king oh my gooooood

oh no... hot evil lady villain... my KRYPTONITE

"well, everyone gets married at different times!" she is literally so precious...

i love this bitch... shows up to someone else's house, tells him they have a contract, takes all her clothes off, and sleeps in his bed, making him sleep on the floor... iconique...

she talks to cats..... i am in LOVE

she's a LIBRA and she has PINK HAIR... that's my girl...

LELOUCH MAKING A GIRL CARVE INTO A WALL EVERY DAY SO HE CAN TEST HIS POWER GHFJDKS THIS MAN IS INSANE

SHE JUST SLAPPED HIM ACROSS THE FACE!!!!! YES QUEEN!!!!

and they were narrative foils.... oh my god they were narrative foils....

oh boy here we go on to episode 6....

god that was fucking ominous "the project must proceed without delay"

lelouch leaving the room and dramatically adjusting his collar before he does... tell me why this just reads as "let's go hook up in the bathroom without letting anybody know" ghfdjska

IT'S HIM.... WHY AM I WEEPING

"doing it again... everyone's needs but your own" lelouch just assuming that suzaku wants to be apart from him because of some larger plan and not because he just... wants to (which is absolutely inconceivable because of their relationship even after 7 years ) BYE!!!!

"there's no way i'm getting exposed by a lousy feline" "if have those terrorists, we could encircle the enemy" why is this line sending me... sir that is a CAT.....

"WE CAN CHOOSE WHERE SHE PLANTS IT" "CAN YOU GET BACK IN THE CLOSET, PLEASE" I'M ???? I'M SORRY I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SHOW ABOUT IMPERIALISM????

"that's funny, he never went along with the crowd like this" GOD I WONDER IF THERE COULD BE ANOTHER REASON WHY SUZAKU WOULD RISK LIFE AND LIMB FOR A THING YOU WANT LELOUCH... COULD THERE POSSIBLY BE A REASON....

the way we've transitioned from cat shenanigans to a STATE FUNERAL complete with DRAMATIC SINGING that almost sounds like GREGORIAN CHANTING

TINY LELOUCH!!!!!

SMALL ANGRY BOY

how about instead of this love triangle nonsense kallen and shirley just date each other instead

"war is a struggle between pride and life" the way that hot evil animated ladies are absolutely my kryptonite........

this scene between lelouch and cc is just the "dear sister" skit from snl

okay but the zero/kira parallels are definitely very interesting (especially with the false kira/ drawing him out into the open plot of the earlier episodes of death note)

i love that kallen's resistance outfit is just a headband

"we are knights for justice" okay theater kid

CORNELIA AND EUPHEMIA...... I AM SOFT......

THEY!!!!!!!

I AM GOING TO BE THINKING ABOUT THIS IMAGE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS STRAIGHT

euphemia (takes off her glasses like clark kent)

corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture

CATBOY LELOUCH..............

"you don't need a costume. you're already wearing a mask" wow.... we live in a Society.....

oh my god suzaku..... SOFT BOY.......

"can't you do anything right... besides selling your body, that is" i BEG YOUR PARDON

this soundtrack reminds me a lot of bebop and i have no idea if it's intentional or just a genre thing but either way i'm digging it

kallen only just now realizing her mom stayed with her former lover to be with her (her daughter) i'm... ma'am what did you think she was doing

"everybody loves a hero, and what better hero than a knight" and suzaku piloting lancelot parallels...... goodbye! goodbye

"even messiahs need to perform miracles if they're to be acknowledged" god it's as if this show knows the best way to make me go absolutely FERAL is to mention messiahs...

"the four holy swords" excuse me i beg your PARDON first we have lancelot and now we have HOLY SWORDS

"how can a landslide come out of nowhere" well that is how most landslides occur

ORANGE???? DIE

that man's face just melted like the end of raiders of the lost ark

okay i just finished ep 10 so that's it for tonight - tune in next time as i continue to livetweet my breakdown watching an anime from 2006 because of all the goddamn arthurian imagery!!!!

alright here we go episode 11 time

"revenge for what happened 7 years ago" okay that number is so specific that it has to be referencing what happened when lelouch went into hiding so i most definitely missed something wrt the four holy swords/JLF/lelouch's mom

"euphie" god i'm.... i'm so soft for them what the FUCK

"more than anything, you hate when people die. yet you're in the military. why is that?" BOY KING BOY KING BOY KING

"people aren't just pieces in a chess game. zero wouldn't think like that. if he did, he'd use us as pawns" BOY IF YOU DON'T -

oh jeez i wonder what that symbol means it seems very familiar

okay that was most certainly lelouch's mom in one of the flashbacks which is hmm interesting considering my Theory about who CC is/what she's doing

okay so the fact that CC isn't human but also has some very clear link to humanity that is traumatic is definitely adding to my Theory so it'll be v interesting if i'm right

"it's more like kallen's absent the same day he is" shirley that's GAY!!!

"why would shirley just... out of the blue"

was nina just masturbating to euphemia's picture..... i.... i beg your pardon

oh this rakshasa person very very hot

LACRIMOSA??????

oh god oh no oh no shirley oh NO

"don't bury him again" i am going to CRY!!!!!!!!

this "zero is just chaos" speech from suzaku is, and not to sound like a broken record, BOY KING SHIT

cc giving a speech about grey morality and blood and the point of no return as she clutches a large stuffed animal is me writing poetry about my crises of faith as i cuddle my stuffed manatee mr. willoughby

okay i have no idea if this is intentional (i think it very well could be) but every time someone says "path of blood" i think about Akira Kurosawa's "throne of blood" which is uhhh very interesting vis-a-vis power, cycles of violence, monarchy, and justice

not to Yet Again be comparing code geass to death note but there's some interesting parallels between villetta & naomi misora at least so far which is UHHHHH INTERESTING

"is there anything unusual?" "yeah, you aren't here"

"he's a very bad man, and you like it"

"i don't have a photo, but i can paint her in balinese style" i love this woman

okay this monologue is VERY light yagami ("he hasn't seen my photo, etc etc)

his name is MAO... that CANNOT be a coincidence

HE HAD THE PHOTOS

"any sin you committed is mine to bear" oh we are just in FULL "allie is a lapsed catholic who loses her fucking mind whenever anyone mentions redemption" hours

"it was a friend... well someone very important" oh no........ oh nooo...... oh NOOOOOOO...... "how her smile saved me"... no!!!!!!

"i don't like cops" cc said ACAB

baby mao's painting of cc is me at age 12 trying to draw my anime character ocs

okay so that was episode 15 !! i've been trying to watch 5 eps at a time so i don't get burnt out so i'll be back tomorrow with more dumb thoughts ~~

okay whoops i forgot to update this thread & i'm on episode 18 now ghfjdksl some thoughts
- rakshasa is really hot
- the suzaku/euphemia princess/knight dynamic is making me go FERAL
- lelouch learning suzaku is lancelot.... PAIN!!!
- lloyd & millie is PEAK lavender marriage
