Reasons I like Code Geass

[aunt_zelda]

1) My boyfriend squees about it. (What can I say, he's got a thing about Magnificent Bastards. It's like his thing about Light Yagami all over again, I swear.) There's nothing more adorable than a dude squeeing over mecha. 

2) It's so cliched that you can riff it constantly, bringing up tropes left, right, and center and hanging lampshades all over the place. (Which my boyfriend and I do frequently as we watch.)

3) It brings out the worst in me. I've said the filthiest things about pairing up certain characters, imitating their voices in mock propositions to other characters, and taking certain questionable lines out of context to hilarious results. (The "That's What She Said" counter broke by episode 5.)

4) Princess Cornelia. UNF. That is all. Her voice (we're watching the dub, I know, we're being bad) ... makes me melt ... 

5) It stars Doctor Insano and his Nurse. Well, Doctor Insano if he had touches of L from Death Note and was given mass quantities of tranquilizers, that is. It's still Doctor Insano gorramit! They may go by Lloyd and Cecile, but they're Doctor Insano and the Nurse, all right. Cecile was at first one of those annoying, shy, 'oh, pardon me, I just had a clever idea, do excuse me for being a woman' characters, but she's showing depth and character development and she's SMART and snarky and cares for Suzaku and slaps Lloyd when he says something too rude. 


So ... yeah. Watching this and episodes of The Big Bang Theory is awesome. I'm going to have such weird dreams tonight ...
