Description

Haha, no, I do love Code Geass to bits. But this one line totally annoyed me throughout the series. If they're going to speak English in Japanese media, at least do it properly, like this guy .

SO. I first learned about Code Geass through magazines and fanart on Devart. At first I didn't want to watch it, because 1) I had a life to attend to, no matter how much I didn't want to, and 2) it was labeled a mecha anime. Now, I didn't have a very good history with mecha animes- the only ones I've watched are Gundam Seed and Gurren Lagann. Gundam Seed was horrible- it was frustrating with its soppy love stories and bad scripting, but it dragged you in with its dramatic storyline. However, the genre was redeemed a great deal by the Gurren Lagann series, so I decided to give it a try.

I started watching at 3 PM yesterday.

I stopped watching at 4 AM today.

OMG IT WAS FREAKING GOOD. I only stopped because I realized I had to stay awake for church, but if I didn't I would totally have watched the rest of season 2. I'm also in love with that trumpet that plays at the more dramatic points. I classical instruments.

So, in order to express my feelings of love for Code Geass and procrastinate on homework, I doodled this short comic strip.

Hope ya liked it. ;D

(P.S. The japanese in the first panel doesn't mean anything. Its just something I copied off the back of a DVD cover. XD)

Well, unless it's really well done. I know of a Japanese singing group that speaks English pretty well- you can barely notice they're accent. (Forgot their name, though)

It isn't common for japanese to speak english without a great accent, though...
Have you heard the first bleach ending song?

Naw, I don't watch much Bleach. But I know what you mean.

I dunno, though, sometimes the Japanese accent works for them. The opening song for Ouran High School Host club has English words, and it works pretty well with the lyrics. At least, in comparison to the English version............

Greatkingrat88 In reply to fishy-kun [2010-03-20 19:32:57 +0000 UTC]

That's right. The english version of the same song was pretty bad, despite having the exact same verse and melody.

I stumbled upon it on youtube,Never watched an Anime in my life,I was really curious,I watched episode 3,I was hooked,then I skipped back to episode 1,and watched it through you tube,and some anime site,3 weeks from then and here I am.

That's usually how a lot of people find out about anime (or animes). The internet is a wonderful place...

Any thoughts on Code Geass? What'd you think of it?

Brilliant,Exciting,Atmospheric,Beststorylining in any show ive seen,I mean,I don't even have enough words to justify it,thats how great I think the series is,Just sheer brilliance,I never knew anime was so much better than crappy american shows like Camp Lazlo.Infact,In R2,I thought lelouch had some screws loose,well he did,but I was beginning to dislike him,because he was getting a little too evil,but wow,I was surprised that it was his plan all along to kill himself,and for a more than good reason,I mean,It caught me off gaurd,after I figured it out,I thought,This is the most bad to the bone anti-Villian in the history of shows,except Godzilla,but anyway,I really think the show was perfect,and an R3 wouldn't ruin it I think.if they did it right.

Mmm, it's kinds dispersed all over the series. I don't remember which episodes have them, but if you rewatch the series you're bound to come across a few or hundred of them.

Sorry, don't have the time to search. >.<;

Hm, how come this didn't show up on my subscriptons?
Ah, well, I'm glad I get to see it now.
This made me LOL, it's so true, but isn't it fun to try to imitate
their "YES YOUR MAJESTY" or "YES MY LORD" ?

It makes me cringe.

Haha, well, I guess I'm just not enough of a fangirl to want to do it. Its been a while since I last watched it.

Though I do love laughing at myself whenever I try the "Lelouch-covers-eye-with-hand" pose. XD

Yeah, that's true it kind of does, but it's good for laughs, I'll try it on you some time.
Yeah his cover-eye pose is fun.

CODEGEASS FTW.
I sort of switched watching subs and dubs. Reading subs, what they say in Japanese is just background noise to me :/ I never really pay attention.
I'm leaving season 2 for Thanksgiving...or else I'll break.

fishy-kun In reply to Dingalo [2008-10-08 03:10:07 +0000 UTC]

Since I took Japanese class, I've been able to pick up a few things, so sometimes I'm listening when I'm done reading the text.

For instance, one I hear a lot is "kore wa," which means "this is".

Lol, but sometimes, even though I ignore it the japanese voicing gets into my head. One time I watched anime for so long that I started hearing japanese words in my head whenever someone started talking. XD

I think I've told you that already...

Ohohohoh. Maybe we can watch the second season together during Thanksgiving break.

ARGH. I want to watch Code Geass so much, but I also want to watch like 52385930472859403 other animes as well. @~@

But yeah. That's my pet peeve in anime- when they use English, pick someone who speaks it well enough that it actually sounds like English! D:

fishy-kun In reply to Hara-ism [2008-10-07 11:52:36 +0000 UTC]

I know you'd know that well. I remember you saying something along the lines of: "Argh, I was watching this subbed anime, and at some random moment the subbers said [this is English, I don't need to translate, you guys can figure this out on your own], and I totally couldn't tell what they were saying. Aaaaaaaarrggghhh. D< Learn to speak good English, darnit!"

Lol, sorry, memory jog for me.

Dude, 52385930472859403 other animes? I only know of a few. When you're finished watching them, tell me if they're good or not, 'kay?

Oh wait! We have different tastes!

Hara-ism In reply to fishy-kun [2008-10-07 19:06:13 +0000 UTC]

OH YEAH. O: I did say that... Well, its true! and the English in the original Japanese versions hurt my ears. xD My sister turns in MAI SIZ-TAR. *twitch*

Hmm~ Eyeshield 21, Prince of Tennis, Hikaru no Go.... hm... The ones I want to watch more of are Black Cat, Soul Eater, Code Geass (; o, Getbackers.... And more that my brain fails at remembering.

But I really like the sports mangas/animes. * 0*

fishy-kun In reply to Hara-ism [2008-10-08 03:03:04 +0000 UTC]

Soul Eater, huh? I've never heard of it. Maybe I'll go look it up on Wiki when I procrastinate on homework, lol. (Like I'm doing now...)

Hmmmm... Have you ever read Yakitate! Japan? Its a manga about bread. I know there's an anime out there, but I've never seen it. Its wonderfully funny, and it really makes you crave for bread when you read it. (All the bread looks so yummy... )

Hara-ism In reply to fishy-kun [2008-10-08 03:47:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, a friend suggested it to me. O: Its apparently quite good.

Really? I've heard of it I think, but I've never read it.... Maybe I shall check that out then! : D But another good manga is Switch, by Naked Ape. It's a realistic detective/thriller manga by the manga-ka group Naked Ape. :3 I've read up to the second volume, and it really gets me eager to read more. <3
