Remember Lelouch? He’s back, in pog form.
Rating: 9.2 slices of pizza out of 10.
The series that almost everyone has been waiting for has finally returned and with quite the bang. Everyone’s back and we have a new character, Rollo, Lelouch’s brother. No, I don’t know where the hell he came from, but I’m sure that question will be answered.
The big difference with the new season is that it is in HD, and it looks superb. I also thought that the violence and “dramatic scenes” (you know, of innocent people being executed and killed and such) would be toned down since the show was no longer airing late nights (it moved to a prime-time spot on Sundays) but it didn’t look like things were toned down much at all.
Anya, one of the new characters in R2.
CHINA also looks to become a bigger player in the scheme of things in the Code Geass universe. We didn’t really hear much of them during Season 1.
And everyone’s favorite knight, Suzaku, pledges to kill Zero himself. OMG
It’s going to be a great season.

Other things worth mentioning:
- The OP and ED sequences were both not bad. I like the artwork used for the ending.
- What “rolo” will Rollo play? Sorry for going there…
- It is now evident that the kotei/Emperor has a Geass eye, too. Should make things interesting…
- And Pizza Hut and Biglobe gratuitous logo placement is still happening. Not that it bothers me…
