Uwaaaah! I finished watching Code Geass last night, and it made me cry twice. Twice. Huhu. I want to die with Lelouch! TT_TT I was really, really sad about Rolo's death. I was sobbing like a kid who lost her toy last night because of him! I thought he'd kill his brother after those harsh words Lelouch said. "I've been trying to kill you but I just kept on missing my chances! I hate you! Don't ever show your face to me!" (it was something like that, right?) I really thought he'd kill Lelouch; after all it was the reason why he was sent and replaced Nunnally: to kill Lelouch when he recovers his memories. The mere thought of using his Geass to help his brother escape the ambush of the Black Knights was really touching. OMG Rolo TT_TT I was really crying hard when he continuously used his Geass while he was talking. Rolo wasn't a tool. Uwaaaaah! I loved him to bits; his protective side was really adorable and the way he showed his loyalty to Lelouch was really remarkable. Uwah. He didn't have to die like that. TT_TT
The ending was really freakin' awesome and sad! TT_TT I was kinda disappointed because Lelouch could've just told the truth about Schneizel and live with Nunnally and Kallen, but he chose to atone for his sins and die through the sword of Kururugi Suzaku, his best friend. He could've atoned while he was alive! C'mon! He was the emperor: he could've reformed the whole world and made it the place Nunnally wished for: a gentle place where wars don't exist. But he wanted to die. He was prepared to die, even back in that place where the Ragnarok junction took place (but it was stopped by Lelouch, of course). I was also shocked when I knew that Marianne was alive and she was the one who supported his father's will to stop time and to force peace on people. I really felt his sadness, his hatred and his pain. *is bleeding inside* I wanted to kill both of them (I was clenching my fists, you know?) for Lelouch. Augh. I couldn't bring myself to hate Suzaku because it was Lelouch who volunteered to die using his sword, and he didn't do anything wrong (except for the last parts of the anime when he said that what mattered was the result yadda yadda). Why Lelouch? Why? You should've been a little more selfish! You should've lived on! You shouldn't have left Nunnally and told the truth about your selfish brother! Everything has been taken away from you since you were just a kid: your mom and dad deserted you, you faked your identity, you took care of Nunnally, you lost your first love, you lost everything that was special to you! Shouldn't you be a little kind to yourself, after enduring all those by yourself? TT____TT
The storyline was really great and moving; where can you find an anime with the robots and wars but you'd find yourself crying? The art was lovely as well. Code Geass is the first anime that really moved me. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 already made its way to the top of my favorite shows and movies. OMG. TT____TT I'm still very upset about his death. Lelouch, you will always be alive in my heart.
