I just got done watching the second episode of Code Geass, and to be honest it’s starting to get really interesting! Only two minor gripes of the series:

1. Sympathy - Now, for everyone who knows the series really well (I’m just a newbie XP), Brittannians are pretty much racist towards the Japanese (or “Elevens” as they are called) that they pretty much ripped off a few pages on “WWII For Dummies“. Yes, they invoked a Holocaust-like attitude towards the Elevens; Ghettos and the such (excluding the “Final Solution”, thank goodness). But regardless, Brittannians seem to be arrogant, and self-righteous. Perfect Cannon Fodder for Lelouch! Ok, I’m veering off of course here. My gripe? Give a more sympathetic view towards the Elevens. The action being covered on the first two eps. and the brutality towards Elevens didn’t really strike an emotion out of me (Besides the fact that I’d join the Rebellion just for a good chance of punching Clovis. XD). I know the focus is on Lelouch and his own conflicts, but the background of the story is so promising that I wish they shed a little more light towards the hardships they endure.

2. Information Overload - The last two eps. (The first being the more intense one) bombarded me with so much information, to the point that I got confused on the first ep. one what is really going on. But thank goodness for VCRs (Yes, I still use it.). Hopefully though, that it’s resolved now since I know the background and everything. Just. No. More. Cramming. Loads. Of. Info. In. Three. Minutes. X.X;

Oddly enough, I usually don’t gripe about things like this, especially on Anime. This is probably my one and only time I’ll gripe in the subject of Anime…I <3 it!
