CODE GEASS: TRAINWRECK OF THE REBELLION EP10


(SPOILER ALERT: THIS TOTALLY CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Lelouch has this new hobby where he likes to threaten to commit suicide to get people to do what he says. Considering the fact that his super power is magically forcing anyone to do anything he says, this seems slightly unnecessary. The writers must’ve realized that Lelouch was too nuts to actually be Suzaku's dramatic foil at this point, so they gave Kallen her own secret experimental mech to go alongside her sympathetic back story. But she’s pretty badass, and the fight scenes have enough random explosions and ridiculously complicated strategizing to keep me amused. And while Lelouch may be obviously crazy, he’s still entertaining to watch. His seiyū does an awesome job of delivering lines with a strangely perfect balance of “I’m an over dramatic teenage super-genius” and “My empathy and common sense were both put in a blender.” Evil Ziggy Stardust doesn’t work for everybody, but it works for this guy.
