The fact that the director/writter was surprised everyone loved Ash & were ready to protest the ending was the final insult for me! Ash was the true protagonist of Roze, Sakuya backstory had so much left to explain to get more attached to her! What even was the point of the survival of Arnold & Catherine if you kill Ash from the same causes???
@billyhopkins103 ай бұрын
Low key opinion. I think it would have been more satisfying if Sakuya sacrificed herself so Ash could live. I know it goes against Jugo’s thing to protect Sakuya. But one thing I really like about the original series was there was always a price to pay with using Geass. Like Rolo’s heart stopping, C.C never knowing real love, Lelouch dying, Mao going crazy. Sakuya in this series got everything she wanted besides Ash but it was her doing and her commands. Whilst Ash lost everything just being caught up in everything. It’s not a satisfying character arc.

When I saw that Ash just died at the end and the ending happened, not only did it feel rushed like ANOTHER mecha anime but they really did Ash dirty by killing him. He was the only character to have a really good backstory and development only for them to ruin it by having him just decide you know what I'm gonna kill myself, despite not knowing if his Knightmare has an ejection block OR having Sakuya just save him by removing the cockpit core to save Ash as a last resort or hell and this just came to mind, have Sakuya use her geass on him one last time to fight Norland and AFTER that you are free to live, thus dismissing the command. Yeah I know that she already used the geass on him eariler but this way would have been at least a better way to not let Ash kill himself. But unfortunately no since he died for a rushed ending that is a diet coke version of R2, a good chunk of the show is just R2 but worse and we are left with fanservice that really doesn't mean anything and the villians that work with Norland suffer zero consequences...... Why is this reminding me of witch from Mercury!? In any case, this ending was still garbage and we could have had Ash and Sakuya together, especially if Sakuya was JUST going to forbid herself from using her geass at the end anyway which is another plothole because she could have just used her choker instead of muting herself.

Series would have benefited if Ash really did kill Jugo. That was interesting but they undid that. Norland I think hated his existence. I kinda took his hatred for humanity partially motivated by his creation not serving a purpose. An empty vessel with no purpose would resent not having a purpose. Him smiling before his death, I think he was happy to have the release of death and seeing how he affected Ash. Not a great series. Some original ideas but they squandered them. Curious to see the future of the franchise.

The real crux of this series is that it was 12 episodes long. Seemed like they had a lot they wanted to do but fast forward through it. And it isn't like this franchise couldn't have given us a tight story, ie Akito. But because of the fast forwarding a lot of moments don't have the weight or tension it should have. Like stop telling me these Britannians are elite pilots and show it. Don't have them gone after one encounter. Also Nolan who lived as a rich nobel for years couldn't come up with a great reason for his attack. Hell his grand plan could have happened because of the discrimination of Britanians after the Zero Requiem.

At least Gambit’s Death in X-Men 97 was done a lot better than Ash’s death, even though he’s going to be resurrected as the New Rider of Death in Season 2. In fact, the Season 1 Finale of Kite Man Hell Yeah almost had Kite Man sacrifice himself by having his girlfriend Golden Glider kill him if he’s corrupted by the Anti Life Equation. And it was a lot better since there was build up, we feared that Golden Glider was going to go through with it and he wasn’t going to be coming back. Both characters of X-Men 97 and Kite Man Hell Yeah were way more interesting than the cast of Code Geass Recapture of Roze since they had a lot of focus in both shows.

It's clear that director Yoshimitsu Ohashi and Noboru Kimura should not have directed and written this series. You wanna know who should've made this series: Seiji Mizushima and Yōsuke Kuroda, why? Because they made Gundam 00 which is regarded as the best gundam series or at least is up there in the top 10 minimum. It's not as unreasonable as you might think because they got Kenji Kawaii to compose for Roze and he also composed Gundam 00. It wouldnt solve every problem with Roze and maybe no one could make something with only 12 episodes work but at least they would have a director and writer who actually understood code geass.

Sheniezel if given geass may be an op protagonist. Geass is just power and to be good at using it you gotta have a strategic mind. That's why Sakuya fails so miserably as a protagonist. She's not very strategic and her plans aren't as varied as Lelouch. Watching the show, it gave the impression that she was imitating Zero, both by hiding her identity but also through her ways of dealing with the enemies. Its just a repetition of the original battles of zero vs Charles.

Clickbait. No, this isn't the Zero Requiem nor was anyone involved ever attempting to replicate it. Your character analysis is superficial and made in bad faith, without really putting yourself in the shoes of each individual and trying to understand their emotions and mental state, rather than directly imposing your own way of thinking upon them. Only robots are logical at all times. Both human beings and characters should be allowed to act based on emotions and, yes, even irrationally depending on the situation.
@MyMediaChops3 ай бұрын
This is a poor reading of my arguments. The robot argument doesn't work here only serving to excuse bad writing. I went through the entire situation pointing out things that these characters would be doing. And the writers chose to not have characters not do that. That isn't the same as writing flawed characters who make mistakes. See Lelouch failure in episode 7. How is my character analysis superficial or in bad faith? I simply stated that Sukuya would want to protect Ash which she told him, I stated she's a competent pilot and therefore would monitor her energy filler status. I want to know what was bad faith or superficial? Sakuya and Ash spent plenty of time preparing for the battle. They were thinking critically for most of it. So why is suggesting another way to think about the situation which is in character for both incorrect? As I said we will never know if they were trying to re-create the Zero Requiem but based on the points I brought up it looks like it.
