CODE PIZZA: R2 EPS 1-5

(THIS TOTALLY CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Well that's just...that's just..

Okay well, actually they did wipe everyone's memory! I guess whatever stupid thing I say, Code Geass will do it just to spite me (Suzaku in a dress, Suzaku in a dress, Suzaku in a dress). But, they didn't go completely Tenshi Muyo -- only the supporting characters forgot everything that happened.

This means those characters get to be in more episodes with absurd parties where the overly dramatic mentally unstable main characters awkwardly shuffle about pretending that they don't all hate each other. The problem is that neither the comic relief nor the drama behind it seem to have the same pinache as season one did. I mean, I already saw the episode where they used a mech to make pizza. And season one ended with Mao's sadistic manipulations, the Euphenator's genocidal rampage, and Lelouch almost taking over Japan. Then season two starts with Lelouch playing chess and sneaking out of clothing stores. Its not easy to transition from complete over-the-top madness back to kind of normal.

Episode 5 did end with one of those left field plot twists the writers seem to love, and I've heard season 2 is not short on complete insanity, so I watch on in confidence that the show will not remain boring.
