Episode 9, why aren't you here yet?

Now that LJ is being a bit more cooperative, let's play my favorite game. It's called what does the Japanese fandom teach me about series.

Today's series is Code Geass. So what does fandom teach us about Geass?

1. Lelouch is a kitty whereas Suzaku is usually a puppy. Sometimes they can both be kitties if they're being naughty.
2. Lelouch either views cross-dressing as really kinky or really annoying. Suzaku is just killer embarrassed.
3. Lloyd is apparently a pervert.
4. Because Suzaku played bondage during episode 4, he's apparently prone to all the non-con stereotypes. Poor Suzaku.
5. Suzaku loves paying homage to his Britanian prince.
6. Suzaku is a woobie.
7. Nothing is cuter than child!Lelouch and child!Suzaku.
8. Most importantly of all, girls exist only to make the boys cross-dress and the Nightmares exist only to increase Suzaku's hotness when he stands next to them.
9. Rivalz wants Suzaku's man.

Favorite fanart moments of the search: Suzaku wearing LuLu's cape, lil Suzaku crying over lil LuLu getting a shot and prettiest Suzaku/LuLu site that I've ever seen.

You know, if it weren't for Japanese fanart, I don't think I'd ship this pairing as hard as I do. Nonetheless, it is so very pretty.

Bad animation + Bad dubbing = Exceptionally bad Tenipuri. I really wish the VAs would pretend to care about their roles. Ryoma's a mixed bag. Sometimes he's great, and I love his ability to snark. But if he just has to be indifferent, he sounds lifeless. I think of the rest, I hate Taka and Inui the most since neither knows how to annunciate. Kaidoh tries at least. Momo is decent. Fuji would be better if he didn't sound so masculine. Tezuka has random delivery issues. I don't find Fudomine the most exciting of the matches to begin with so to have a crappy VA sound base to go with makes watching the episodes exhausting. Thank god for Kamio. I've always loved how slick he is.


ETA: Tell me I did not just see someone relate Kingdom Hearts to shonen manga in explaining how shonen manga could let secondary main characters die. o_0
