Yeah, I’ve been a little preoccupied over the last two weeks, which isn’t unusual. The profs wanted to get in the midterms before spring break. Seriously, they have no consideration for my anime watching schedule. How am I supposed to watch anime and study for tests at the same time? I can’t read a book and subtitles at the same time.

Back to my topic, I’ve been out of the anime blog-o-blob for almost two weeks. I stumbled upon this well after the newness rubbed off. By now, you know that Code Geass is getting a second season.

I’m not ecstatic about the whole thing to tell the truth. One of the best parts about many of the shows I really like is that they ended. I’m not saying that simply because there is going to be a second season that means it will be inferior or even that it will diminish the appeal of the show; at least I don’t believe it will in the short run. What I’m implying is that a second season means that the first season may not have the finality that I was hoping for with Code Geass.

Simply, I like when a story ends even if it doesn’t rap up all of the loose ends. That is if it accomplished the intent of the story. Did it “say” what it had intended to say would be another way to put it. Sometimes the greater meaning of a story can be had without rapping up the entirety of the plot. This is evident to me in such endings as the original 25 & 26 of NGE, I preferred that ending to the story. In some ways, Kanon episode 23 could end the story nicely with only minor modifications.

It’s all about closure. The problem is that closure isn’t always as easy as it would seem to be. Sometimes knowing that everybody “lived happily ever after” is the way to end a story. Sometimes, the meaning doesn’t lay in the actions of the characters and the resulting effect but in the meta substance of the two. Basically, the results may not be tangible in a physical sense. Nevertheless, closure can be achieved without answering all the questions.

On a side note, I don’t think that C.C. has had the screen time she deserves.

Okay, if they must have a second season here are my demands.

• More C.C.
• Lose the pizza. Try Diet Vanilla Pepsi, the stuff is like crack!
• You know what? More C.C. isn’t enough C.C., there needs to be an evil twin C.C.
• Actually, pizza and Diet Vanilla Pepsi is pretty good. . .I change my mind. They can keep the pizza.
• More Geass, Lelouch should just start geassing everybody.

All jokes aside, I’ll definitely watch the next season of CG. I was hoping for a nice wrap up. There is plenty of time from the current point in the story until the end of a standard series length to climax the plot and end the story with some nice falling action, if that was what they were looking to do with the show.

Oh well,

–

Is it “Gee-ass”, “Gee-aus”, or “Gee-ss”?

Let’s look at the bright side of things. Now there actually is a chance for an evil twin C.C.

Yes, I do these things because I want to be different.
