This episode didn’t have such a lot of fight scenes, but it won me over. I found it very, very delightful, indeed. :D

The KallenLelouch moments were funny; I’ve seen that somewhere in the Net before, but it made me grin nonetheless. Then I had to really laugh out loud when C.C. suddenly appeared out of nowhere and cut their conversation short. Ho-ho, that was hilarious; I had to watch it all over again and laugh.

How old exactly is Tianzi? She’s… what, seven? Goodness gracious, what are those Eunuch Generals thinking??? I know she’s an empress, but man… Worse, her fiancé looks like a dirty old geezer! How old is that first prince, anyway? Forty?!

I love the LloydMilly scenes. Hah, so it seems Milly is still engaged with Lloyd, huh. Awesome. I rather like them together.

Xing-Ke’s bond with Tianzi is so adorable. The promise is so sweet of him.

Can I just say that *shudders* Nina is still as psycho as she had been in the last season? Good grief, that creepy girl should be pushed off a building or something. Like, PRONTO. Her obsession with Euphemia is scary enough without her tirade against Milly. Milly has been perfectly kind to her, too; she’s just bitter she’s not as pretty and not as *normal* as Milly is. UGH. What a psycho.

And is Suzaku a MORON? He says, “This is another tragedy that Zero created” while he’s stopping Nina’s psychotic outburst. Duuude, Nina has been a nutcase since she was like, born. It’s not Zero’s fault, fool.

Surely, Zero won’t kill Tianzi? Tianzi is Sumeragi’s friend, and the last thing Zero would want is to displease Sumeragi. I just wish they’d give Xing-Ke and Tianzi a chance to talk and have time for themselves.

I still can't figure out how they managed to make one million versions of the Zero outfit. Like... yeah. :P Otherwise, it was genius, and I can't believe some people can doubt Lelouch/Zero's capability at producing results. Hasn't he shown them enough already? Psh.

Even Suzaku had to shut up. Hah, showed that bastard who's boss.

Is it wrong that I’m beginning to dislike Nunnally now? I don’t dislike her as much as I disliked Euphemia, but she’s starting her descent to that level, I’m not sure. I have a thing against characters with, uh, hearts of gold, simply because they’re not realistic. And dull, too, and annoying.

This turn is pretty boring for my taste, although I realize its necessity to highlight Lelouch’s emotions and yay character development. It shows that he’s still very human, despite the fact that he has the Geass now. What was his promise to C.C. in the first season again? That he won’t fall to the Geass. Personally, I think he’s doing really well at keeping that promise.

That he wanted to have a dose of Refrain is a bit overdone, though; I don’t think he’d be that desperate. (Although I don’t really know; I’m not carrying the burden of the world on my shoulders now, am I?)

The Lelouch-Rolo moment was a bit awkward; I feel that Rolo was standing a tad too close to his brother. Eh. I do like the fact that he’s getting jealous of the real sibling Nunnally; I just hope he doesn’t get too jealous, because that just won’t work.

I’m so thankful Kallen slapped the hell out of Lelouch. He deserves it so, me thinks.

Suzaku is fail at the natural sciences. How terribly embarrassing for him.

I sense that Lelouch is planning something. When doesn’t he anyway. :P

Oh my God, but the utter genius of this turn literally makes me cry. I've never seen anything like it before! I doubt the word marvelous even begins to cover it, but it's really marvelously, beautifully done!

I thought it was really sweet of Rolo to have used Geass to help out Lelouch in such a crucial time like that. He's beginning to grow on me; what a sweet guy. Yeah, I guess I like him now. (He should just make sure he doesn't turn against Lelouch.)

Rakshata is so easygoing and yet so devious all the time; I like how she has long planned how things would be against the Lancelot. Having her always pwning Lloyd is too awesome to resist; actually, I like her more than I like Lloyd now. Yay for this machine genius. Woot. Lloyd is just fail against her, and it's so funny.

Kallen is pure win, too! Her loyalty to Zero is remarkable, but it's not too much to the point of being annoying to me. Overall I think she has developed into a likeable character who can kick ass, and of course, pilot the Guren efficiently.

I dislike that Anya person. I see neither personality nor depth in her.

Lelouch didn't have too many frames in this turn, but I guess it's just well, since it focused more on the fight. What I don't like is how Nunnally's character is turning out; does it mean she'll be against her own brother in this? It sucks that she doesn't know how much he's been doing for her sake; I guess she's never really realized how unsatisfied Lelouch is with how their lives have turned out. I hate it that she chose to be with Suzaku, but I hope she changes her mind soon. Seriously, I'm even crept out that I ever considered the SuzakuNunnally pairing before, as Suzaku is a hypocritical bastard who should never be with anyone whom Lelouch holds so dear.

Lelouch can be pretty annoying, too, sometimes. It's great how he's shown to still have feelings and not some crazed psycho who kills people for the heck of it; the proof of which can be seen in how much he values his sister, as well as his friends. It just frustrates me that he crumbles too easily; he's very intelligent and yet he can't keep his emotions bottled up so he can think straight. I know it can be argued that it's his sister that's of main concern here, but I think there could have been less dramatic (and more Lelouch-ish) manner through which they pulled off his sentiments like these.

To be very honest, I found the first half of the turn rather boring. Or is it because Suzaku just had to get some frames and waste my time? Huh. Anyway, it all picked up as soon as C.C. showed up for the - surprise! - giant pizza. Man she is unstoppable when it comes to pizza.

Can I just say that I dislike being introduced to new characters? I get it that they're supposed to make things more interesting, but those Anya and whoever else people bore, if not irritate, the hell out of me. I feel like Code Geass can proceed without needing too many of them. They don't look very interesting anyway.

I wonder what the weakness to Rolo's Geass is...

It was just hilarious when Lelouch put a paper bag over C.C.'s head. Hahaha! After that he pushes her into a truck full of tomatoes! It was too funny for me, especially since Lelouch did everything oh so casually; you'd have to give it to him for pulling those off without trouble.

Although... running just isn't his thing, which makes it doubly funny. How ironic that someone who can possibly take down the biggest empire in the world can't run after a cat. :P

So it's official that Rolo is on Lelouch's side. Great! I'm starting to like him for this!

Suzaku hasn't changed much; he's still an a-hole as he has always been. Someone bash him with a stone tablet already. Lelouch has to gather himself and pretend like he doesn't know Nunnally. He's supposed to have only a brother, right?

The end was such a cliffhanger. How cruel! Gotta watch the next episode. Like, now.

I have to say, Lelouch Lamperouge must be a sort of Napoleon Bonaparte. Getting a cold-blooded assassin to listen to him? Hah; what charm must he have! :D

Someone get C.C. away from armaments. :P

I absolutely love how Lelouch used the tactic he had once used during the previous Black Rebellion; it shows how he knows that the Britannians haven't learned from their past mistake. Which is rather embarrassing for them, considering they should be well-informed about things like this. In any case, I found it hilarious when Lelouch suddenly went, "Now they've crossed our territory; kill 'em!" Now *that* was an excellent move. I don't even care that he lied flat-out to Guilford about fighting one-on-one, since a prince like him should break his promises in case the necessity arises. (Thank you, Machiavelli.) It was really just genius.

Rolo, Rolo. Hm, I'm not too sure about him; I really don't feel strongly for or against him. For now, he's just, well, there. It sucks for him that Lelouch will only be using him to get to Nunnally, but that's how it's supposed to go.

I know I shouldn't compare, but I was screaming "Light Yagami!" in my head when Lelouch started sweet-talking Rolo and saying stuff about their being brothers and all that glitz. It sounded pretty unLelouch to me, but very much Light Yagami indeed. Ah, evil geniuses. They're both so awesome.

Suzaku is going back to Ashford Academy. How curious. Even though I don't like him, I admit I look forward to how he and Lelouch would interact. Lelouch would make it very interesting, indeed, since he's playing the memory-less Lelouch Lamperouge.

Another amazing episode! I must admit, R2 is definitely more exciting than the first season. I love this one; it's so intense.

I was a bit confused when I thought it really was Lelouch in front of the camera, then I saw him in the gym with Viletta the next second. He threw me off guard, just like Rolo, and I had to squee like mad when I realized the trick. C.C. is a wonderful partner in crime, hahaha; Lelouch must be so thankful he has her with him. :D

I don't find Rolo's character too difficult to figure out, based on this episode. It seems to me like he really wants to have a brother, whether it's Lelouch or someone else. It actually appears like he's grown rather fond of Lelouch, and the way he reacted when his brother was about to take away the locket was a giveaway. I'm thinking he grew up alone - most probably an orphan who yearns for a family. All right, maybe not orphan, since it appears he doesn't have a birthday. :O (But I'll leave it at that for now.) I can't find it in myself to dislike him at this point, but I'll see in the next turns.

I love the trick that Lelouch pulled off when he made his way out of the boutique. It gave me the same feeling that I had when it was Light Yagami (from Death Note) figuring his way out of trouble that was Misora Naomi/Ray Penbar/L Lawliet/etc. Creating discord like that was absolutely genius; it made me smile and grin and, well, squee for him.

Kallen is pretty funny, too. I really like her now. And I hope I don't change my mind soon.

I love this turn, but at the same time I hate it because it ended in a cliffhanger. I have school tomorrow; I can't keep watching! D:
