Code Geass R2 — Episode 25

It’s been a long journey, (probably longer than necessary due to the Xingke arc) but it’s finally over. The ending doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Although I do have some personal disappointments (poor Kallen ;_;), it was as a … Continue reading

Code Geass R2 — Episode 22

“ICHI-JOU!” It’s cool that Lelouch is all anti-hero and I-am-the-boss now, but there’s just something wrong about this whole situation.
