Ichigo to Yume

A tear just fell on my keyboard...
I just got finished watching Code Geass 13.  It was a wonderfully suspenseful action-packed episode.
And wow..what a conclusion.


As for next week...to the bat cave Geass den we go!  I loved Fukujun's voice in the preview!!  Well done!

You know it had been bothering me since last episode..
I was wondering where everyone must think Lulu is...
But wow, honestly how does he do it....?

Code Geass R2- 7
I watched R2 episode 7 last night.  But it was too late to comment on it then. So I'll comment on it now.
Wow, Lulu has feelings.


Macross F -7: The Power of Idols

Another cool episode.  I'm still liking Sheryl.  Cool.

T___T Lulu! Poor Lulu...
I screamed with glee when Lulu said "aishiteru" to Nunnally.  I love Rollo!! You're the best little brother ever!

Preview: Turn 7-棄てられた　仮面 The Abandoned Mask
ナナリーにも夢はある。
ナナリーにも選ぶべき道はある。
とても当たり前で、とても簡単なことなんだよな。
ああ、俺は…
Nunnally ni mo yume wa aru.
Nunnally ni mo erabu michi wa aru.
Totemo atarimae de, totemo kantan na koto nan da yo na.
Aa, ore wa...
Nunnally has dreams, too.
Nunnally also has a path to choose.
It's so obvious, it's very simple...
Yes, I will...

ルル:「ナナリーがいるべきところを奪い取った偽者め。散々使い倒して、ぼろ雑巾のように捨ててやる.」
Lulu: [Impostor who stole Nunnally's place, I'll use you all up, and like a ragged dustcloth, I'll throw you away.]

If there were any lines that stick with you after watching this episode, it has got to be these two lines said about Rollo!
Ok, I was expecting this.  And I knew Lulu was mean.  But to go far as to say this...T___T
Lulu you truly are beyond evil.



So next episode, more school life! Yay!  And finally Suzaku and Lulu reunite....confront!!! What about Suzaku and their relationship is Lulu supposed to know!?! Suzaku or Lulu, who's the better actor?? 気になる！！！And what is up with Rollo and the knife?  Is he still having doubts about Lulu? He'll be the insecure little brotherってことか？？？

Code Geass Episode 3

Rollo: Lelouch, die along with that evil eye! (pulls trigger half-way)

I'm loving Rollo more and more.
This episode was awesome because we got to see Lulu use his acting skills.:p 
As a sucker for kyoudai-ai, I actually like it when Rollo and Lulu are acting lovingly and brotherly to each other...even if it IS all fake.
And aww....my heart jumped for Rollo when he nearly broke down after Lulu suggested on taking away his locket.
The locket which he surprisingly holds dear to him because it was a birthday gift...even tho, it was from Lulu.
Hmm...this locket can also be seen as a weakness.... It seems like noone has ever remembered Rollo's b-day or given him a gift before. T__T The poor boy...

So like I wrote in a previous post, this episode we find out Lulu wears contacts to cover up geass and confirm that Rollo's geass stops time.  Also confirmed that Rollo knew everything about Lulu being Zero and his geass. And then all of a sudden Xing Ke attacks the Black Knights??? wtf?? I think he's gonna join up tho.

As for Rollo, I think he's gonna switch sides.  I think it's possible Lulu will somehow convince him to join his side and they'll continue to put on the facade of happy brothers.  And Lulu will continue to act as if he knows nothing about Zero and the Black Knights.  It could be far-fetched...but I'd definitely like that plan.  Maybe next episode, Rollo will actually tell Lulu what Zero did to make him hate him so much.  I'm thinking he was attacked by Zero-tachi in the past...either that or Britannia has convinced him that whatever happened was Zero's fault.


Turn 4: The Counterattack of the Gallows
They're trying to execute the core of the black knights.
No matter what, I've got to save them but, right now the problem is Rollo.
No, there should be a breakthrough.  For everyone whose memories have been rewritten, I...

Wow!
I can't believe a staff member leaked R2 ep. 3.
But, I can totally see why it's a big deal for sunrise.
It wasn't just any part of ep. 3 but the last 6 mins. which happened to contain a whole shiriload of revelations.

Ro..llo...
ROLLO!!  He may be a lie but I'm liking these two sides to him.
Suzaku, you traitor!!
Lulu, to defeat your father, you'll have to become stronger than Suzaku!!
Comments on this week's episode under the cut!


Next Turn：Ep. 3 Preview
ナナリーを探しだし、守りきる為には力が必要だ。皇帝やスザクよりも強い力が。手に入れてみせる。その為にもまずはあいつを。偽りの弟...ロロを
In order to protect Nunnally and begin searching for her, I need power.  I need power stronger than the emperor and Suzaku's. I will obtain it!  In order to get that strength, first, him...I'll have to...That fake brother...Rollo, I'll have to...

Today I was reading about the new characters from Code Geass R2 in Animedia.
Could Lulu be wearing color contacts?

PS: Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Gundam00
Like, WTF!?  I mean I knew Michael was crazy and all and Nena she's annoyed me from the beginning.  But with this episode, even if Johann is the sane one, this was the last straw!  I'm really beginning to hate the Trinity bastards.  And I haven't read any spoilers or anything, so maybe people know more about this than me.  But from the beginning, I've been wondering if Saji will play a bigger role in the series.  And now with this, I wonder if this is the thing that gets him involved in the fighting/politics.

It was just a really sad episode.  Nena's attack on the wedding was just so senseless. So terrible.

Setsuna go ahead kick some Trinity ass!!

Can't wait to hear what they say about this on Celestial Station.

Code Geass R2
I've been watching the Code Geass R2 previews as they come out.
And they played a preview of Code Geass R2 at the end of Gundam 00. It's looking like a hot season!  I can't wait!

Look who I met when I went to Chara Hobby last weekend.  It's not other than THE Kururugi Suzaku--himself.
But he was a little stiff.  And not much of a talker in person.  But he sure loves the camera.  All he could do was just stand there and pose for the camera the whole time.:/ Well Lulu and Zero were there, too.  I guess with the outcome of last season's finale, it's not a surprise that Zero showed up maskless. But how Zero and Lulu could be in the same place at one time....is still a fushigi na mystery.:p

I should really get to bed right now.  But I just had to comment on the last episodes of Code Geass that aired Saturday.

T______T WTF!!!
I loved how they ended it.  My heart was racing and I was on the edge of my seat most of the episode.  But that ending was...WOW! (xOx)
I'm glad they were consistent with the excitement and suspense of the show.

Wow, I just saw the cover of Animage!  Lulu pouring water on his HOTT self amuses me.  I must get this and Newtype.
I just read the spoiler about Suzaku too....

I have to go out pretty soon so this'll be short for now but.....
I just finished watching Code Geass 23 and.....

T_____________________________T wahhhhhhhhhh~

Lulu what?  I'm sorry what?  What was that you said to Yuffie before you did the inevitable?  ;___;
You just had to say that and make it all the more painful a scene. T__T
And C.C. you got some explaining to do...what's this about Marianne?
And Suzaku...my poor Suzaku. ;__: V.V.'s voice is so cute.

More commentary later.

I have to go out in the bright sun with these puffy eyes now. T__T
Hopefully, I'll be able to cheer up.

Today, it rained.
And well rain makes me sleepy and lazy.
Which sucks because I wanted to go to the Tokyo Int'l Anime Fair but couldn't help but sleep-in because of the rain.
Plus, I didn't want to go alone since my sister changed her mind and decided to stay indoors today, too.
So kinda sad I didn't go when I see all the cool seiyuu who did go and writing about it in their blogs. 
Argh!>< I should've gone.
If only it wasn't so far out there.

Oh well...I did catch up on some anime.  I'm catching up to Tsubasa Chronicle now.  Kurogane's past was so touching. T__T

Lulu's Geass Problem reminds me Ryuusei from Ze
Oh yeah, I was thinking this yesterday about Code Geass.
You know Lulu's permanent Geass predicament kind of reminds me of Ryuusei in Ze.
I mean from now on, Lulu has to be careful of what he says or he might accidentally Geass people.
Well, Ryuusei has the same problem with kotodama.  Through a bad joke, he accidentally used kotodama on his mom and that led to her death.  So because of that Ryuusei has to be careful of what he says and is determined never to use kotodama again.

Ok that was just really random.  But really I was reminded of that when I saw ep. 22.

And the emotional process I went through while watching Code Geass 22. (Spoilerish for those who haven't seen it yet.)

---.--- calm

--____-- anticipation, what's gonna happen?  is he really gonna kill Euphemia in this ep?

#o# Shit! he's pulling out a gun!

^____^  Phew! Euphemia seems to be getting through to him.

*___* Awww...look at that.  They're holding hands.

^O^ Yay, looks like things'll work out.  I guess all that die at the hands of Lulu deal was just a teaser.

O___o WTF, Lulu!?  You did NOT just say that!!!

"O" Oh shit!  Someone shoot Yuffie with a tranquilizer before all hell breaks loose.

V___V Oh damn.  Too late. 

;_____; ........

As you can see, this was one heck of a rollercoaster of an episode.
I'm somewhat depressed by the events that occured in this ONE ep.  I mean I'm sad for Lulu, Suzaku and Yuffie, things have totally taken a turn for the worse.  The one person who IS jumping for joy is the emperor. Ugh.
I have to say I was quite touched by the reaction from Schneizel.  He actually cares...wow.^^
Can't wait for more action in ep. 23!  Who'll get to Yuffie first!?

Je fais ce que je peux. 
Oh how I miss French.  I can still read it but I bet my conversation sucks now.  I'm not sure I remember all the verb conjugations advance of present, past and future anymore.  Really wish I had my old textbooks to brush up. 
Anyhow, I saw the phrase above on someone's bag yesterday and decided I just had to make it a subject to one of my lj entries.^^

Ah~.  The final week at work is winding down and I'm so happy about that.  I need some rest.  Luckily tomorrow is also a holiday! 
Hopefully, the northern winds will finally disperse and give us all a break here in Tokyo. It's so DAMN cold because of them.  I mean the weather would be absolutely perfect if it weren't for the darn winds.

One good thing about today is that I finally have my voice back up to 94%!    It took about 5 days but finally got it back to normal.  Honestly, I don't think ppl realize just how much a teacher is depended on their voice.  It's really hard to teach a class/lesson without one.  Another reason why Friday, I had to cancel my classes.  I thought it would be pointless to go to class and not be able to speak.  Especially, when I can't exactly explain to the JT what to do in advance...and even if I did, most of my JTs wouldn't have enough confidence in their pronounciation skills to wanna teach the lesson anyway.:p

Anyway, changing the subject really quickly.
I read a spoiler about Code Geass.  It was published in Asuka, I blv.  And if it's true (cuz I never know with CG.  You know, they may or may not be trying to set the viewers up or something...), well,  it's pretty much what was alluded to in the preview from last week's ep.  But all I have to say about last week's ep is...Yuffie's sure gone and done mess things up!  Watching the end of that episode, I was like, "Oh no she didn't...">.<

Got around to watching Code Geass 19!  Oh man, that was an awesome episode! 
Schneizel is so damn SEXY!  I'm so looking forward to seeing more of him!
And woah, Yuffie knew all along about Lulu.  I understand how sad she must be seeing as she knows that certain family members care/cared about Lulu and Nunally more than he knows.  In fact, I'll feel bad for Cornelia when she finds out.  Esp. knowing that she looked up to Marianne.

And despite everything, Lulu is still protective over Yuffie.  So cute.
Poor pathetic yet cute as ever Lulu, he can't dig a hole to save his life--no, literally.
Was anyone else touched when it was revealed that Lulu geassed Suzaku to live.  (^________^)
I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. 

But now Lulu sure has gotten Suzaku into some deep shit!  Schneizel better do something to get Suzaku released.  As if he hasn't gotten enough bad publicity up until now. The tapes of the sound recordings during the fight where you can hear Suzaku saying how he has to live was so dramatic and powerful.  Props to Sakupyon on another great peformance.

Well I guess from here it's off to Kyuushuu!  What dramatic surprises await us viewers!! 
 

Hot diggity damn! All heck is breaking loose on Code Geass!  What a way to keep us viewers on the edge of our seats with the suspenseful ending there.
First of all, I have to say...thank goodness Lulu was at the party in time to stop Kallen from  doing something stupid.  I would've been pissed if Suzaku got injured because of her.  Well in a non-fighting scene setting anyway.

Second, the Pizza Hut pizza at the party made me want pizza:p.
Second, Lulu's older bro is HOT.  But as I said before all of his siblings are beautiful.  I still think they get their good looks from their moms.
Third, man what a predicament Lulu and  Suzaku are in!!  What the freak's gonna happen!!!  AHHHHHH! I can't wait for 19!!

And did you hear Lulu in the preview?  Oh my gosh, Lulu!!  What are you gonna do to Suzaku?!

Code Geass 17.  Wow that was an amazing episode. T__T
These episodes really draw me in and I completely understand Lelouch's reaction at the end.
I mean the events that have been unfolding are really enough to drive one crazy.(+__+)
I can't wait to see ep. 18!
