Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection) Introduction and Story

It’s been 13 years since the release of the 1st season. Following its astounding reception, fans came to know Gorou Taniguchi, director, storyboard artist, and the original creator of Code Geass. With the release of Re;surrection, Taniguchi directs our eyes towards a new stage, its spotlight centered once more on conflict. To some, a tyrannical emperor and to others, a martyr—Lelouch vi Britannia was a divisive figure whose death changed the world. Following his assassination, a miracle occurred. Amidst years of war and conflict, countries and people united. The blame for the atrocities, crimes, and deaths shifted onto one person. The world was reset to “Zero.”

Why You Should Watch Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection)
[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="BCXA-1342" text="" url="" ]

1. Character Development

In one year, characters have grown, their lives taking form in ways they couldn’t imagine. Life has moved on, and the war has been laid to rest. However, even with the world renewed, feelings still linger. Lelouch’s abrupt death didn’t provide everyone a proper resolution. Grief spills over when characters see Lelouch, and that ignites old sentiments. Taniguchi clings onto this idea and builds character development where it seemed impossible. Given season 2’s finish and the difficulty of building character arcs, it’s impressive to see how far characters have come and still grow. The world has changed, and with it, the meaning of its hero.

2. Warm Nostalgia and Care Towards Old Fans

Capitalizing on the previous point, this film isn’t shy about its theme. Just as emotions are reignited within the cast, so are our own. There are deliberate shots that mirror scenes in the series. The film contrasts well with the TV show, giving perspective on how each character learned from their past. This new angle gets built upon, reminding viewers of old moments while introducing us to new ones. Dialogue in the film makes allusions towards the original story. This clarifies character intentions, rewarding viewers who recall old promises and iconic events. It’s intentional how the film feels like an episode of the TV show. The film’s scenario is crafted to mirror the original.

3. Weight to Action

With a movie-sized budget, Code Geass has never had action quite like this. From fast-paced infantry combat to the mesmerizing power of its mechs, action scenes have the strong support of its story and visuals. The film gives attention to one important detail: weight. Weapons carry with them a heaviness, and with that, a physicality that isn’t ignored. While the setting allows for technology like flying mechs, the flamboyant acrobatics of its pilots, the momentum of a sudden acceleration, and the recoil of a heavy blast are given due focus. War carries with it a burden, and that weight is shown in its action.

Why You Should Skip Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection)

1. Dialogue Pacing

The dialogue in Re;surrection is double-edged. On one side, the dialogue reminds the viewer of old plot elements. This is understandable as not every viewer will recall story details. However, problems occur when the plot moves and new information floods the audience. Old and new information fights for attention. Unfortunately, this is placed into dialogue when danger forces quick responses. This creates situations where exposition feels unnatural and unwarranted. A suitable amount of time isn’t given, and, while rare, story beats can be missed—something that the original took time to glamorize so viewers could absorb. While the film is masterful at creating its setting, dialogue conveys information in a rushed manner.


Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="2014CL-42" text="" url="" ]

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection is a love letter to its fans. Careful attention is given to visuals and writing, crafting a spectacle fitting for Zero’s return. If you were intrigued by the original series, you owe it to yourself to watch this film.

Academy City is a massive city that sits on the western side of Tokyo. With a bustling population that exceeds 2.3 million people, approximately 80% are students. There, they are a part of a unique curriculum that studies the development of esper abilities. The students are then ranked in a 6-rank system from Level 0 (no power) to Level 5 (exceedingly powerful). Accelerator sits at the top, as the most powerful esper in the city. He is one of the seven rumored exceedingly powerful espers of the city, and due to his excessive ability as the top esper of the city, he spends his days being bloodthirsty. He is finally defeated by the aberrant ‘experiments’ that he is forced to repeat over and over for the sake of discovering absolute power. Soon after, he encounters a certain girl named Last Order, who greatly changes his fate. The strongest, most ‘evil’ Accelerator is about to mow down the ‘darkness’ of Academy City!!

[Honey's Crush Wednesday] 5 Ray Highlights from Yakusoku no Neverland (The Promised Neverland)

$

[ad_top1 class="mb40"]

You’re correct, and you shouldn’t feel ashamed!

  • Episodes: 10+
  • Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Shounen
  • Airing Date: January 2019 – Ongoing
  • Studio: CloverWorks
[ad_top2 class="mt40"]

Yakusoku no Neverland Preview (No Spoilers)

In an orphanage isolated from the rest of the world, children up to twelve years old live a challenging but fun and simple life in the care of Isabella, the house mom. Occasionally, one of the children is adopted, never to be heard from again despite the tightknit familial relationship they leave behind. When the latest child to be adopted forgets her stuffed bunny behind, two of the oldest children, Emma and Norman, hurry to get it to her before she departs. Although they make it in time to see her before she departs, her lifeless body unveils the fate of all children who are adopted from the orphanage.

Ray Highlights (Spoilers Beyond This Point)

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" bookwalker_id="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="https://www.crunchyroll.com/the-promised-neverland" ]

1. He’s Great Under Pressure

Ray has a tough task throughout The Promised Neverland, one most of us probably wouldn’t be able to handle: he must be Isabella’s spy. Ray has lived his whole life knowing that Isabella was raising both him and his adopted siblings to be slaughtered for food, but he never allowed that to break him. This is especially impressive when you recall that Ray has known about this ever since he was a small child so even then he was able to resist cracking under pressure. Now, it would be even easier to just comply with everything Isabella asks of him as a spy, however; he’s not just complying but also plotting his and his closest siblings escape.

2. He Can Hold a Secret

As we mentioned earlier, he knew about the secret within the orphanage since he was a child and never told anyone. That means that throughout his decade at the orphanage, he was able to put on a brave face and act like everything was alright while developing bonds with his siblings. Even though he knew they were going to be killed eventually, he still went on having relationships with most of them to the point that Norman and Emma, two incredibly brilliant children, couldn’t even tell the dark secret he kept. He was so good at keeping secrets that he had to trick Norman and Emma into finding out about it, otherwise they’d never find out.

3. He’s Willing to Make Sacrifices

Ray makes it clear after revealing that he knows the truth about the orphanage and that he’s a spy for Isabella that he only plotted on saving Emma and Norman and no other children. For years he allowed Isabella to bring child after child away under the guise of adoption to become food for monsters. Ray is cold and calculating in his willingness to do what it takes to save the people he cares most about. A part of us wonders if he’d have sacrificed Emma and Norman for his own safety?

4. He Doesn’t Have Infantile Amnesia

The reason Ray knew the secret behind the orphanage when no one else did is that he doesn’t suffer from infantile amnesia like everyone else. Ray remembers bits and pieces in complete detail of his life since his birth, while we usually lose most of the memories from our youth, let alone our birth, over time. We think we prefer having infantile amnesia if it’ll help us forget our birth, though.

5. He’s Logical

While Emma is guided by emotions and Norman by his desire to keep Emma safe, Ray is guided by what’s logical and correct. From the very moment that Norman unveils what fascinates him about Emma, Ray outright disagrees with him because Emma’s caring about protecting others over herself doesn’t seem correct to him. He did the very opposite his whole life, and perhaps there’s a bit of guilt in that assessment. In any case, Emma and Norman are determined to try to help Ray stray away from the path of the best option and to act in a more selfless fashion.


Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" bookwalker_id="" cdj_product_id="NEOBK-2147786" text="" url="" ]

Ray has lived his life with a chip on his shoulder because of the knowledge he had that no one else did. With every passing day, he’s struggling to know if he made the right decision with that knowledge. He’s allowed countless people to die and he’s starting to discover that the best option isn’t always the right option. Of course, plenty of fans will also side with Ray’s logic-over-emotion mentality, and we won’t blame you for that either. There’s still a necessity for a guy like Ray and his endurance over the years has proven he’s not all wrong in choosing the best option.

Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka Preview (No Spoilers)

Take a world where the veil between mundane and mystical elements in your usual magical girl anime is torn to shreds and dial back the idealism by about eighty percent. Now add arcane terrorism, military tropes, and a more than healthy serving of PTSD and you’ve replicated the core concept behind Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka. The anime follows the titular magical girl, an ace combatant and veteran of a deadly conflict with extraplanar invaders known as the Netherbeasts that threatened to drive humanity to extinction three years ago. Asuka attempts to retire in peace, only to be dragged into the battlefield anew.

Asuka Highlights (Spoilers Beyond This Point)

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" bookwalker_id="" cdj_product_id="" text="crunchyroll" url="https://www.crunchyroll.com/magical-girl-spec-ops-asuka" ]

1. Not Your Momma’s Magical Girl

When we think of magical girls, the image of frilly dresses, cute poses, and obscure references to celestial bodies come to mind. Yeah, aside from the outfit, Asuka is having none of that. From her shaky integration into a school life plagued by flashes of the tribulations she experienced in the past we get an inverted and coldly rational view of the norm. Rather than a girl who grows more mature through discovering an affinity for magic. Asuka’s a girl chasing after what remains of a fleeting childhood magic robbed her of.

2. Not so Cold After All

Despite spending so much time in retirement, Asuka remains a venerable badass, bisecting fools with her karambit as casually as we take out the trash. Her resignation and relative ease with violence create a disconnect between her youthful appearance and cute maid uniform that reminds us of both Full Metal Panic’s Sousuke Sagara and Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika’s Homura Akemi. Similarly to the two above, she quickly develops a soft spot. In Asuka’s case, it’s reserved for her two normal classmates, Nozomi Makino and Sayako Hata. Seeing her interact with the pair is adorable, like a lion minding two kittens.

3. (Super) Soldiers Soldier on

She was made to suffer the deaths of six squadmates, fought at the forefront of humanity’s defensive war against the Netherbeasts, and even had her parents’ body parts mailed to her, all before she would be old enough to enlist in a modern military. Despite her social awkwardness and bitter demeanor, anyone on the outside could be convinced that Asuka was a stable person. She displays a remarkable level of resilience that provokes as much awe as it does sympathy.

4. No Nonsense

Asuka is generally level headed and displays wisdom well beyond her age. Just how much of her personality is a result of coping with trauma rather than any natural disinclination towards most waif and genki-girl female protagonists isn’t too clear. She represents a breath of fresh air for people tired of foolhardy, lovesick, and loud protagonists that refuse to grow their wisdom teeth in any case.

5. She Just Wants to Live

Compared to so many protagonists that risk life and limb to seek a vaunted position, treasure beyond their wildest dreams, or some other heady aspiration, Asuka’s goals are simple. She wants to go to school, make friends and do anything but worry about saving the world. It’s a trait that makes Asuka human, and one that has us gritting our teeth for her when something that easy can’t be granted.


Final Thoughts

While she might not appreciate being treated like damaged goods, Asuka deserves more than just our sympathy. Let’s cross our fingers for her and hope that she finds the peaceful existence she yearns for soon. While you’re at it, if you have any praise for commentary for her, feel free to share it below.

Why You NEED to Watch Both Fullmetal Alchemist AND Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood!

You’ve been hearing great things about Fullmetal Alchemist and decided to give it a shot, but you’re faced with a problem: Which one to watch? The first anime adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist from 2003 and its subsequent movie sequel The Conqueror of Shamballa, or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the highest rated anime on MyAnimeList? A lot of your fellow anime fans will undoubtedly recommend Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood over the 2003 adaptation because of one thing—FMA: Brotherhood is faithful to the manga source. But the thing is, Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 is no slouch and has some things that are equal or superior to FMA: Brotherhood in terms of story and experience. So should you watch FMA 2003 instead? No! Watch both and here are two reasons why!

Same Side Stories, Different Atmosphere

Fullmetal Alchemist has great side stories that either expand the lore or focus on developing the characters, but how they’re portrayed in each anime adaptations will give a different emotional response. FMA 2003 is generally darker in tone, has more graphic violence, and a somber tone compared to FMA: Brotherhood’s more toned-down violence, more slapstick humor, and more uplifting experience, like fewer cast members dying or suffering a permanent disability. For example, Rose from Lior devoted her life to Cornello’s cult in exchange for Cornello to revive her dead lover. In the 2003 anime, Cornello invites Rose to a room where her boyfriend is supposedly in bed, covered by sheets, in the process of recovering. A silhouette appears and calls out to Rose and she regains her faith in Cornello and continues to stay loyal to him (this is also the reason why the citizens of Lior are loyal to Cornello). It is then revealed that the person behind the sheets is a defective bird chimera made out of hundreds of sacrificed birds that was made to do one thing: to control Rose by parroting her name. It turns out Cornello isn’t capable of reviving the dead because human transmutation is impossible and this opened Rose’s eyes to the fact that no one, not even alchemy, can bring her loved one back. In FMA: Brotherhood, they skipped this scene, resulting in a less emotional experience. But on the flipside, there are other moments that are portrayed better in FMA: Brotherhood than in the 2003 adaptation and has more stories to tell that the 2003 adaptation couldn’t provide. FMA: Brotherhood compressed a lot of stories into about eight episodes so that it could finally continue with the manga storyline so the only way to experience these stories is by watching the 2003 adaptation. Ed’s State Alchemist exam, a more paced out Chimera story, the Yoki side story, and the Armstrong Household episode just to name a few, are reasons alone to check out FMA 2003.

The Main Story is Very Different

Both FMA 2003 and FMA: Brotherhood start off the same tale of the Elric Brothers Ed and Alphonse from the quaint town of Resembool who committed a taboo: they tried to resurrect their deceased mother through human transmutation using alchemy. The transmutation of a human being failed and according to the laws of Equivalent Exchange, Ed’s left leg and Alphonse’s entire body were taken. In a desperate attempt, Ed brings back Alphonse’s soul and affixes it to a suit of armor in exchange for Ed’s right arm. Ed gets prosthetic limbs called automail and with Alphonse’s now-immortal body, the brothers devote their lives to alchemy and search for the legendary alchemic amplifier called the Philosopher's Stone. The brothers believe that attaining this mysterious stone will grant them the ability to restore Ed’s limbs and Alphonse’s body, but this will not be easy because the brothers will be delving deep into the dark side of alchemy and facing powerful inhuman foes called the Homunculi. The first adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist aired on October 2003 and was in the uncomfortable situation of only having a few volumes of the manga to work from. With the manga series still ongoing at the time, FMA 2003 needed to tell the rest of the story differently by introducing anime-only characters, an original ending, and a follow-up movie sequel, The Conqueror of Shamballa. FMA: Brotherhood, on the other hand, was in the comfortable situation of airing in April 2009 with a ton of manga material to use, and as a result, FMA: Brotherhood is faithful to the manga source. To note a few differences, in the 2003 adaptation, the Homunculi are beings that were created through various failed human transmutations and consumed red stones that are similar to the Philosopher’s Stone to stay alive. This means the being the Elric Brothers created through the failed human transmutation of their mother is a homunculus. In FMA: Brotherhood and manga, the Homunculi are creations of a powerful being known as “Father” and they loyally do his bidding, like manipulating people to create Philosopher’s Stones or forcing people to commit genocide to cover his tracks. In the 2003 adaptation, the main plot revolves around the antagonist manipulating the Elric Brothers to create a new Philosopher’s Stone for their nefarious deeds, and in Brotherhood and the manga, Father uses the Elric Brothers and other alchemists who committed the taboo as a catalyst that, in part, involves eradicating human civilization to achieve omnipotence.


Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="ANZX-15001" text="" url="" ]

The story of FMA 2003 and the movie Conqueror of Shamballa still revolves more around the universal rule of Equivalent Exchange—there’s a price to pay for everything—than FMA: Brotherhood, which glossed over it just to get the best outcome and experience possible. It’s a “people die for their sins” vs “everyone lives happily ever after” kind of deal basically. But in the end, both titles are great and shouldn’t be skipped. One title covers the shortcomings of the other and vice versa. You can call this "Equivalent Exchange."

What's New?

Slopes – Create angled surfaces by just picking a direction and setting the length. Gentler slopes are an additional option. Angry Sun – Remember the angry sun that attacked Mario in the Super Mario Bros. 3 game? It’s back and ready to put the pressure on players in this new game. ON/OFF Switch – Hit an ON/OFF Switch, and all the red and blue blocks in the course will swap! Setting them up wisely will help players create tricky puzzles and obstacles. Water Level – The water level in Super Mario Maker 2 can be adjusted in the Forest theme, so only half the course can be underwater if that’s what the player wants. Water can even be set to rise and fall at different speeds over time. Banzai Bill – The red variations of these classic Super Mario enemies have a homing function, and chase poor Mario wherever he goes. Co-op Making: Pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend to create a course together, side by side. To Be Continued…: There are more secrets in Super Mario Maker 2. Players will have a blast experimenting with all the tools and features they can use to create.

To fund this reconstruction project, he needs to collect Coins, which he can earn by accepting jobs from the bulletin board and completing the associated courses. Story Mode is a great way for makers to get inspired, with more than 100 original Nintendo-crafted courses to play. New Course Themes: In addition to all the course themes from the original game, players will be able to create and play courses using the Desert, Snow, Forest and Sky themes. These themes feature new music by veteran Super Mario series composer Koji Kondo. The new Moon course part can be used to unlock night versions of themes. Depending on the theme used, wild things will happen at night, including floating Goombas, dimmed lighting in the Ghost House and sandstorms in the Desert. Some items might even transform in the nighttime… Super Mario 3D World: Players can choose to create their courses in the style of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. U games and a new one based on Super Mario 3D World. Some new features unique to this style include: Cat Mario – Cat Mario can climb walls, scratch, slide and pounce on enemies. Players can even use Cat Mario to climb up the Goal Pole! Clear Pipe – Clear Pipes can be placed in any shape the player wants, but they have to be careful, as enemies can also slide through them. Koopa Troopa Car – Hop in this sweet ride and zoom through the course. Players just have to make sure not to crash! Track Block – The Track Block will follow any path the player draws. The blue one starts moving when the player steps on it. Piranha Creeper – The Piranha Creeper follows the path that the player draws, extending its dangerous spiky stem around the course. Who’s Who in Super Mario 3D World?: A cast of other familiar faces will also make appearances in Super Mario Maker 2, so players are in for a treat! Course World: An online hub where players can play and share courses, as well as play together, Course World is available for players around the world who have a membership to Nintendo Switch Online. Players can browse by Popular Courses, New Courses or even search for specific tags like “puzzle-solving” or “autoscroll” using a set of filters. Once a course is downloaded, it can be played anytime – including offline! Players can also personalize their Mii character’s appearance using items like shirts and hats that unlock after completing various objectives. In Endless Challenge, players will try to complete as many Course World courses as possible on the difficulty of their choice before getting a game over. Earning impressive scores in this mode might even get the player on the Leaderboards! Play Together: In Course World, players can play courses with people all over the world. When playing with four players, players play as Mario, Luigi, Toad or Toadette. Multiplayer Versus – Four players face off in a side-scrolling showdown in this online multiplayer mode. Each player will be assigned a different character, then race each other in a randomly selected course. The player who clears the course first wins and increases their Versus Rating. Multiplayer Co-op – In this online mode, up to four players must work together to beat the course. If one player finishes it, everyone wins! Nearby Play - If up to four players each own a Nintendo Switch system and the Super Mario Maker 2 game, one can set up a virtual room that the others in the same location can join to play together on their own systems. Only the player setting up the room needs an internet connection.
