    Code Geass

    Why the dubs? They sound so... cheesy... (I've watched Euphy's death in dubs. I wanted to hit myself. Why, why, why ruin such a touching moment! Stupid dubs!) The only scream I really like is when the cat walks off with his helmet. :3 That episode was priceless.

    Definitely! They're both so adorable, and give off that irresistible medieval true love aura. The eleven, the Britannian princess, a knight and a princess. I couldn't hate them if I tried! So I love them! (but Suzaku and Euphy should have at least kissed... They're a beautiful unblocked flower.)
  3. Try and put in some more detail, and fix up some of those typos. Too much detail doesn't exist in my dictionary! (fifty word long sentences describing someone's eyes? I write them all the time.) Try slowing it down as well, and inserting a more (whats the word) clear plot. It's kind of blurry to me. If you go too fast, you'll miss some key parts of your story. Personally, I feel you should have spent a longer time on the 'Prologue' (the princess thing). Why would the villagers revolt because the royal family had children? (needs more explanation) Why does this Rebel leader hate the family? The backstory you provide is the foundation you lay out- while it's a good idea to hide some of it and save it for later, if you don't lay down enough, your story can't support itself. Like Nobody said, I try to practice what I preach, so don't take this as me insulting your writing. While I'm not a big fan of this story, I do like helping other people improve by analyzing common mistakes I see in my own stories and giving others advice. So my consensus is: Okay plot, just needs more backstory. And more detail is a must. For detail, think about it like this. Can you see the story in your head? Describe it to me. Try your hardest to paint the image in your head to mine. That's my advice to improving. Detail.
  4. The point exactly. Do you like it though? (or at least the writing style)

    I have a basic outline! I really wanna start! But it's midnight and I'm so freaking tired!
  6. It's my plunny! XD JK, JK... I don't feel like writing that. Too hard to start.
  7. I put down Shinichi. So dramatic and showy for his mysteries. And his words. XD

    Roll didn't make me cry, though it was sweet that Lelouch buried him, leaving the locket with him. I'm going to try and write a Code Geass fic that takes place a year after the series ended. Wish me luck!

    Code Geass

    Suzaku gets along well with Nunnally and Kallen (who I bet guessed Suzaku's identity) and could be friends with them. After ten years, who's going to remember Kururugi Suzaku, Knight of Zero? He could try to start over. Random comment/question: What parts of Code Geass made you cry and why? My answers: Euphy's death, and Lelouch's. Euphy dying was bad enough, but Suzaku holding her hand, hiding the truth for her, and- and- his offer for her to go to Ashford Academy with him. He's so brave, offering a future he'll never have, torturing himself, to make the last lingering moments of the girl he loved happy ones. And Euphy was Euphy! Kind, sweet, naive, and ready to help the world. As for Lelouch... Nunnally's crying seriously just had me break down into tears. "Onii-sama, I would have been happy just living with you! I can't live without you! Onii-sama, Onii-sama!!" with the chorus of 'Zero, Zero, Zero!' in the background, ignoring her agonizing wails of horror and sorrow. Shirley's death made me cry too, (I liked Shirley and ShirleyxLelouch dammit!) and that's when I started opening up to Lelouch, because he could finally understand the pain of his best friend. And it was just a few episodes after Cupids' Day! (I wish Suzaku participated! If I were at Ashford... Suzaku-kun!!!!!!!! *chases*) Code Geass had a lot of moving moments for such a short anime... And is anyone else pissed that Code Geass R3 will be almost completely unrelated to R1 and R2?
  10. So when's the release date? I love the Magic Kaito episodes. They're always so funny! XD
  11. Kaito and Shinichi are both aware they like someone. They're just not good in getting the point across. Heiji doesn't even think anything of sleeping with Kazuha. (Spider Mansion. And sleeping as in sleeping. But that still blurred out Conan's entire train of thought.) Hes just like "We'll just have to do it to stay warm."
  12. I'll finish it... This weekend. Because I've skived off enough sleep with Code Geass. (staying up past midnight for past week) It sounds good, I just wish the first half had more suspense.
  13. I never said it had to have explosions... They just all happen to have them once you think about it. (I don't think 7 did though...) The first four movies feel like those fast-paced arcs filled with suspense, the ones that make you tear your hair out because you have to wait for the next chapter. They have mystery, suspense, and that crucial factor of excitement. (which is what the mystery of 15 happens to lack.) The plot of a movie has to make itself special, that's all. Otherwise, it's an anime special. It has to go out into the theaters, attract both fans and people who've never watched it before, and succeed in entertaining them. And what I mean by action probably isn't exactly the conventional definition. (because I hate watching extreme violence and all that stuff) I mean a mix of suspense and excitement that keeps the audience begging for more on the edge of their toes. Argh... It's so hard to describe. I desire things that make me feel. Whether it feels that I'm holding my breath awaiting an answer, or crying, I need to have that sort of feeling. And yes, that does involve fangirling. And/or making fun of every character on the screen with my lil' bro.

    I don't hate CC, I just don't like her. I don't like the emperor either. I hated Lelouch in R1, but I liked him in R2. That is one thing that makes it great. Go find happiness, Suzaku!
  15. Heh, heh, nice. I draw on my math notebook all the time too! Mainly practices for faces, hands, or eyes though. Though currently, my papers are covered with sketches of Suzaku Kururugi (Code Geass) XD. I'm fourteen, ninth grade. I won't take AP Physics- I'm taking just about every AP class social studies and math have to offer though.
  16. ShinRan FTW! I can't wait for their next meeting! *totally hyped* Hopefully we have more plot-related fluff... (<-contradicting myself) They have all odds against them, but they still persevere through everything. It's really fun, enjoyable, angsty, funny, and it gives me that warm feeling of nostalgia.
  17. I'd totally want to be the B.O.s teenage prodigy(not science-related) sent into Teitan High to investigate the currently missing Kudo Shinichi. But in the process, I'd gain my first friend in Ran, and have divided loyalties. :3 I love crap like that. XD
  18. ^I cheered. Heiji obviously doesn't really care what a blushing, stuttering Kazuha has to say... He's more concerned with making fun of Shinichi for confessing.
  19. I went trick-or-treating a few hours ago! :D But I found out some bad news... My friend will be moving in a few months. :( After my other friend moved away in June. This sucks.

    I always cry when I watch the end. But not until Suzaku and Nunnally start crying. I'm not as sad for Lelouch's death as for those who will suffer in its wake. Suzaku and Nunnally will bear his death for the rest of their lives. Suzaku's hands are stained by the blood of his father and best friend, Nunnally forced to live with the knowledge that her welfare was the reason that her brother started the revolution, eventually leading to his death. But they can live on knowing that they freed the world from endless war and violence, holding Lelouch's last wishes close to their hearts for as long as they remain beating. I wish I had an idea for a Code Geass fanfic... The story is complete and yet incomplete as it is... I want to write about Suzaku... Which reminds me. Why do so many people hate Suzaku? Is it because he's the anti-hero or what? Because he betrayed Lelouch to the emperor, stepped on his head(I laughed so hard when Suzaku did that. I cheered.), or was it something I missed? I personally only like him more for all that. He's unpredictable, strong, heroic, determined, and when it all boils down, the most loyal person in the series. Or as Euphy says: "I love everything about you. Your strength, your courage, the way you talk and laugh, and even the way you have trouble with cats!"<- 'course, this was off the top of my head so it isn't the most accurate thing... So... The question is: Suzaku haters and lovers! Why do you hate/love him? What did he do to make you hate/live him? ^My answer to #2. I liked him from the moment he tackled Lelouch down, covered his mouth, and left himself vulnerable to the 'poison gas.' While reading the manga, I basically attacked my friend asking if he was alive because I loved his character so much. His personality can be read just from those short five seconds. Hah... I just noticed the topic says lost fav pairings. SuzakuxEuphy FTW. (so cute... I laughed at their confession. Suzaku, I command you to love me! Yes, your highness! *comprehends* Wait- WHAT?! Why did Euphy have to die?? They could have been greater than ShinRan. *sobs* Suzaku and Euphy were my favorite R1 characters....) LelouchxKallen. (I don't like C.C. And I especially don't like her with Lelouch. I only liked CC without her memories because then she was hilarious. Kallen is Lelouch's queen piece! Q-1! And Lelouch obviously cares about her... He shoved her away so she wouldn't get killed, and tried to kiss her when fighting off his depression. I like Kallen. She's a much better person in the anime.) Xing-Ke and Tian Zi (not an x because I'm not sure about the age difference... But I'm glad they represent China. )
  21. Well I do watch for mysteries too (I read 750 chapters of DC in three weeks during the school year(read all night and sneak in ten chapters during school in the occasional breaks) from my kindle(I had lost my itouch and that kindle is so friggin slow) because I liked it you know!), but movies have to define themselves from the episodes. Otherwise, they're just an episode that's been elongated. And if that was all I wanted, I'd watch the anime more often. Movies- from the very beginning- have some action moving it along, because a mystery that lasts 90+ minutes will lose most people along the way. (I'm part of this group.) A fast-paced plot combined with a murder, all boiling down into a dramatic climax, the criminal brought down, and another bout of chaos arising. That's essentially the pattern of DC movies. I'm sure the plot of the fifteenth movie is fine in essence, but it didn't seem to make any moves to define itself. The other movies just about scream a plot and make you listen. Movie 1: keep buildings from blowing up, Movie 2: Don't let some psycho kill in you in number format, Movie 3: Find the other egg and involve KID, etc. etc. Movie 15? What I got from it: a. The subway blew up, but nobody died! b. Some guy got murdered and Conan pretty much figured out the trick right there and then. c. A teenager woke up from a coma after a long time and remembers nothing about his 'accident.' <- Sounds nice when put this way. But definitely not executed to my taste. It was too 'bland' for me if you will. Now, someone tell me where it gets interesting. Around what minute mark does the case actually gain some momentum? Because I do want to finish it- but the first half was an utter disappointment for me and I don't want to have to watch more of it. (I spent all day getting myself excited for watching it, all week counting down to when I'd finally have enough time to watch the movie I'd been awaiting for six months!) It sounds like the climax is one of the greatest. It's just a shame how much of a turn-off the first hour was.
  22. Well, I'm not kidding when I said I couldn't last through the first hour. I tried my hardest, and it wasn't just the DB. The problem was that there isn't any action! I don't what I was expecting, but I didn't feel the way the other DC movies made me feel. I guess I'll try again this weekend to watch it, and hopefully the second half makes up for the disappointment of the first half. You usually have to force me to stop watching a DC movie- even if I've already watched it 10+ times. Especially if it's new. (14th movie... To parents and brother: Get away!!! I'm watching the fourteenth movie!!!!) I just set my expectations way too high. *sigh*
  23. LOLZ, I'm Eri. XD I guess I'm like her most as far as female characters are concerned...
  24. Really? ... But the first half was so terrible I don't even want to dare to watch more... Where does it get good? I'll just start from there.
