    As the topic title suggests, I can't find a way to edit any of my posts since the forum's upgrade. Is it normal ? If not, what's the problem ?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    ^ If you like the j-rpg genre, I can recommend you some :

    Grandia

    Jade Cocoon

    Legend of Dragoon

    Wild Arms

    Persona 2

    Valkyrie Profile : Lenneth

    Arc the Lad

    Besides j-rpg, one of the best 2D plat-form game on PS1 is Castlevania : Symphony of the Night.

    And if you like some survivor horror games, there is Dino Crisis and obviously Resident Evil 1,2,3.

    .......

    I don't really understand why you both are thinking that the show is getting ridiculous towards the end. Like Flame-x, I'm quite curious why you thought the anime was less appealing. Personally, I think Code Geass is a total masterpiece of the previous decade. Not only most of the characters have a massive charisma but the story in its self and what Lelouch achieved by being "evil" is completely amazing !

    hmmnok, let's look how far i still get it together after such a long time.

    just to start, i don't disagree with you,

    masterpiece: check (might be a little too flashy worded, but still close...)

    characters with massive charisma: check

    lelouch and his "evil thing" amazing: check

    but still in terms of story there are just a few parts that raise eyebrows...

    i might mix up both geass seasons here now since i don't know anymore which one was which, but for example the part, where lelouch "accidentally" hypnos that queen-character, resulting in massive genocide.

    whilst on the one hand it might be one of the most dramatic scenes in the season it gets spoilt quite a bit by the feeling of "oh you HAVE to be KIDDING me" just by how fabricated that seems, giving that sort of "order", "accidentally" in this kind of situation etc.

    or the situation (near the end of season 2 i think) where he is pretty much general in chief (in itself already a little fishy, but okay, he has his eye-thingy so why not). but then singlehandedly from some chilled sofa eradicating half of his own army within seconds, with no one questioning him at all? yes i get that this is the absolute height of his madness, but it leaves one behind sarcastically saying "yeah sure, i totally buy that".

    also, i don't quite get together anymore how it actually was, but the conclusional thing with whitbearded british daddy in that cloud temple quite annoyed me as well, because it seemed half-assed and unfitting. it's not that i'm against weird multidimensional psycho-parts in anime, quite the opposite, but this one was unsatisfying.

    those are just a few situations i remember from the top of my head, but there where quite a few more

    ____________________________

    that seemed a bit like a rant, but i actually just wanted to point out, that the story has its flaws, all-in-all still a really great show though

    It doesn't seem like a rant for me. I just wanted to know your opinion about Code Geass and it is always very interesting to have others opinions. Just because someone doesn't like something you like doesn't mean you can't discuss about it. I agree with you that the plot is sometimes quite weak and there is a lot flaw here and there, that's totally true.

    Code Geass has a lot to like about it. The plot makes sure that I disregard all of that.

    Note: I have note seen season 2 nor do I have any plans to. The end of season 1 was such a dumb cliffhanger place to end that it was the final straw.

    Huge problem number one: It's hard to enjoy a show when you genuienly don't like the main character.

    2: Some of the dubbest plot twist in history. bonsaijodelfisch mentioned the one that I have the biggest problem with. It wasn't smart. It wasn't shocking. It was just stupid. I barely kept watching after this.

    3: Pacing - Sometimes this seemed to rush, other times is dragged. And then there were the painful cliffhangers which are just cheap.

    IMO Code Geass is average at best. No way I would ever call it a masterpiece.

    1) You're right. The main character is somehow the "life" of an anime. If you don't like him, it'll be hard to appreciate the show in itself cause the main chara will be omnipresent ^^'

    2) As I said to bonsaijodelfisch, I totally agree with that.

    3) That's where I "disagree" with you. The cliffhangers are a trademark of every shonen manga. It was the same with Dragon Ball or One Piece, Bleach and Naruto recently. It sure is annoying but it makes you want to watch the next episode soooo badly XD

    To be challenging, I say don't bother watching Code Geass. It starts out strong and then just turns in to total garbage. XD

    I'm curious to know why you thought the show was garbage.

    hmmn, i quite liked code geass actually (even both seasons). it's fun to see some maincharacters beeing foced into almost borderline evil with still a glimpse hope of redemption, but still unhaltingly spiraling towards complete madness. i guess thats just the stuff i enjoy, yeah plot gets "a little" ridicculous towards the ends, but if one manages to look past that and it's overall cheesieness it's quite the cool show actually...
