Code Geass

HOLY CRAP, HO LI   OMG. THAT SHOW IS AMAZING, AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Dear god, its just as good as Fullmetal Alchemist! MY EYES BURN FROM THE AWESOMNESSS! It was so perfectly paced, i never got really bored. Everytime it got a lil slow, THEY PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE WITH A TWIST! YES, YES IT WAS MAGICAL!

I would normally say something about the massive Pizza hut product placement, because theres like a pizza from pizza hut every 2 episodes, and sometimes they even zoom in on it. But actually i don't care, because i imagine it helped with the budget, the animation was never noticeably bad. (They never use the cheap trick of putting a still image of two people fighting and just playing the sounds in the back, i fucking hate that shit)!
AMAZING, simply AMAZING!
I'm sorry i ever doubted you guys! FORGIVE MEEEEE
Current 3 favourite anime are probably 3. Clannad 2. Code Geass 1. Fullmetal Alchemist
Yes, it has sadly knocked down angel beats, which is now my number 4

Spoiler:

he was probably talking about 1 of 2 things:

OVA 1:

or the spin off from code geass: Akito the Exiled. this story takes place between r1 and r2 and only the first 2 eps are out and translated so far. it's really well animated but the story doesn't live up to the original. theyre still pretty good though and if you're not trying to compare the two you'll enjoy em

That OVA sounds weird as fuck.

Right i forgot about Code Geass, I just talked to olo and he said he liked it too. IM VERY DISAPOINTED IN YOU PEOPLE.

You're a disappointment to yourself, way to go

Lol, Im glad you kept trying to watch it and liked it, ill have to finish clannad now

Spoiler:

And OVAs generally are weird and almost always contain fanservice, i mean just look at Nunnally in Wonderland
Heres what i said about that:

I just saw Code Geass: Nunnally in Wonderland
It wasnt very good, but it did have some good moments

I liked the casting of the code geass characters into the roles of the alice in wonderland characters, they all seemed to fit really well

Spoiler:

And the whole F.L.E.I.J.A. bit had me laughing a lot

Spoiler:

I didnt like how much fan service there was though
There was just too much of it here

lol. SOMEDAY!

Spoiler:

I don't think i will watch any OVAs, coz OVAs are usually shamless milking, and from what youve said it sounds like thats exactly what they did.

Also is CC the green haired chick? Coz when i watched it they called her C-2. Which i guess Cx2 is CC.

This puts me on a note i didn't mention, but relates to your post. The fan service was crazy in this show. They always showed Kallin from an angle that made her ass the center-piece. Also they made that weird thing in anime where it looks like hes going to have a relationship with every female character and even Rolo at some point, which was just strange. Also Rolo is a stupid name. I kept thinking of the candy Rolo. Also i had the same opinion as you about FLEIJAs

Not all OVAs are like that, the other ova is good, the one seren mentioned
Its just that OVAs have a tradition of having fanservice so they almost always include it simply because of that
Accel World's OVA 1 very subtly and indirectly pokes fun at it, the set up for it is that someone is hacking and stealing the clothes and items of girl's avatars, its great

But dont write off all OVAs as shameless milking

Yeah, its spelt like C.C. but pronounced like C2, the subs i saw had it as CC and i thought it was weird to type C2 like that until i learned it is actually C.C., then i thought it was weird that C.C. was pronounced as C2 until V.V. came and then i understood

The following is what happened right after i read this:

"What thats not true, there isnt that much fan service in the show"
*goes to prove bacon wrong*
*immediately finds this image*

"Well shit, i guess there was"

The fanservice didnt bother me though, it never felt over the top or needless
Like a lot of people hate panty shots like this:

But to me it makes sense that you would be able to see a girls panties in certain situations, its just the nature of skirts, so as long as its not over used or blatantly done im fine with stuff like that and wouldnt consider it to be fanservice

I mentioned that high school of the dead went down hill cause of fanservice in the best intros topic, it started off with panty shots that made sense (like 1 was because a zombie dragged a girl in a skirt away, which is an example of a situation where you would be able to see a girls panties due to a skirt) but later on theres an entire episode that is just a bath scene with all the main girls, and a scene with boobs that defy gravity and the laws of physics in general

Lol, i actually ate the thing i was talking about some time after that post, sarah cut the filet mignon into thin strips rather then chopping it up and put red pepper in it with the shredded cheddar cheese, and had salsa on the side
It was amazingly good

In my case, i don't really like fan service, especially when its made into a center-piece of a shot for no reason, like with Kallin. I don't mind subtle fan service, and i actually like it when its used for comedic purposes. I thought it was a bit over-used in Code Geass though, like a random Kallin shower-scene or a scene of discussion in the girls locker-room/SPA area or whatever that was. (Felt like a room built for fan-service!). Anyway that just my opinion.

BTW have you seen C-2s (or however you spell it) thumb on that pic you posted. It looks like her thumb is swollen and her nail is long and sharp, its creepy, although i know how its suppose to be seen as.

On another note, i was searching for images of Lelouch on google to draw him, coz i thought the art was interesting with their long stringy bodies and super slim crazy arms. Anyway, while i was searching i realised Lelouch Lamperouge translates to english into The sketchy red lamp. IT MUST BE A CLUE MEANING HES STILL ALIVE!

I dont think the shower scene was too much, the spa thing was, but when you compare it to other bath scenes from other anime its not too bad
And centering on an ass isnt that bad either, the pic i posted was just the worst example of it as part of the joke, they didnt do it too much though

Lol yeah, i see it more as her thumb mutating into a pinky
The artist was more focused on other areas of the scene
To be fair that scene is only seen for a split second so you wouldnt be able to notice an art error like that unless you freeze the it, its possible the artist did it on purpose so that freezing it there would show some weird stuff, but i doubt that

i hate panty shots. i think theyre the stupidest thing. if i wanted porn id be on pornhub. short of that, how could i possibly get a thrill out of seeing an animated girl's scripted slip up. i especially dont get them in romances with young characters. "yeah you go mr. creepy main character! you can win her heart!" "oh hey there, 12 y/o panties, my viewing experience wasn't complete without seeing you. i'm sure if i was the main character this would be awesome but now i gotta go to jail for a bit"

i remember the fan service being really bad some of the time
like you would have conversation scenes where the male character would be talking and it would have a closeup of his face and then the female character would respond with a closeup of her chest. this actually happened so much that it started its own drinking game. whenever this happens, you say "Ninpon!" and drink.

Spoiler:

i think i didnt dislike the amount of fan service in the show because it didnt usually go out of its way to create scenarios that allowed for it. and in scenarios which didnt allow it there wasnt any (usually)
i will never stop hating the episode of this show where

My stance on young characters is the same, if theirs a situation where a skirt would show panties then it should show panties
Although i dont think anime should be creating situations to show 12 y/o panties, they could easily have the "camera" be in an area where you cant see up their skirt even if another character can see up their skirt and they should do that more than they do

As for why they do it, its because seeing up a girls skirt isnt as creepy in japan, its more pervy than creepy, and pervy is considered to be more comedic than it is here

Even anime with no fanservice will do it, the audience cant see the panties but a character will be able to, if it isnt obvious that that the character saw them he will say the color of the panties to himself when he sees them to tell the audience that he saw them to convey the joke
That happens so often that i learned that "shiro" means white and that when a character randomly says a color it means they saw someones panties (sometimes its so subtle that you wont know that he saw panties at all, the first couple times that happened i was like "why did he just say white for no reason" and it wasnt until the girl reacted that i realized)
I actually find it funny when they do it that way, but only when a character that isnt pervy does it

Spoiler:

Yeah, thats what i mean by blatant, when it goes out of its way to do it

And I would consider that episode as more of a filler episode than fan service since it doesnt seem like it was specifically made to be appealing to fans

but how often is there actually a "good enough" situation for it. it would have to be 24/7 extreeeemely windy for panty shots to happen as often as they do in many anime. my point is that the vast majority of the time, the show creates scenarios which feature panty shots. it's not only fundamentally scripted but it's usually the highlight of the scripted scene. there shouldn't be extreme wind just because it'll flip a girls skirt
you're right though, and sometimes it is either funny or makes sense. those times i get it, the rest i still think it's stupid.
id even be happy with skirt-flipping being a hobby of a character, but no more of this windy day bullshit

What are you talkin about seren, I ALWAYS slip on nothing and land such that im touching a girls boobs or im seeing her panties. Happens all the time wtf. silly seren

And of course when you are adjusting something like a light-blub, above a female character, you will always, ALWAYS fall face to face on her. Then she MUST blush for a second then throw you off in a rage.

BTW, my friend just reminded me of this. What's the whole thing around C-2s name? Why did they hide it so much at the beginning and do they ever say what it is?
