Crap, some guy in Yahoo Answers managed to reveal the ending of Code Geass in his actual question title. So many morons there.

One guy I saw once managed to spoil the endings of no less than 5 popular series in a QUESTION TITLE once: "how did you feel when these characters died:" (goes on to list protagonists from 5 series)

Tip of the day: If you don't like blatant unavoidable spoilers, avoid Yahoo Answers comics section (as well as wikipedia).

If you want to avoid spoilers, don't research the franchise in question at all, except maybe for ratings.

:(

Personally, I think that person is wrong, but meh. It's something you have to see to understand.

I wasn't researching the franchise AT ALL, i was just looking at the list of open general questions in Yahoo Answers. That's why I say it's a toxic place, people blatantly tell you the endings of shows and movies in their actual post titles.

It didn't give me the option of not reading it, by the time I realized the post was about Code Geass i'd already read the plot spoiler.

The only acceptable way to read Yahoo Answers is via a list of stupid ones someone else has compiled.

If it makes you feel any better, Reelya, I watched about five eps, then basically read wikipedia's plot summary (inc the last few episodes' summary) to make sure it was worth watching the whole ~50 ep shebang. I still enjoyed the series immensely; the ending was still great and it made things a little easier to understand.

I just finished R1 and I'm getting R2, so i'm gonna watch something else in between. Out of about 100 d/l'd series i have here to pick from.

Sakamichi no Apollon is probably the one. Drama series set in 1966 about Jazz music.

Right now, I still prefer Death Note overall, Lelouch and Light are similar, but in Death Note there's a lot more intellectual sparring, rather than military tactics, and Light is matched by an equally sneaky and crafty opponent, something that Lelouch seems to lack.

Sword Art Online, I know it was mentioned earlier.  Nerdtastic lurve for this.  Grimdark and Virtual MMO fantasy.  Yes, it plays its sweet siren song to the nerd in me.

Started to hit my ew factor in the second season(Why so pervy?), so I stopped watching.  First season wasn't terrible though.

Do you subscribe to: 'All female toons(in MMOs) are male unless specifically proven otherwise?'
I find it all the more hilarious, but I guess different humor.  One of the early episodes aptly showed the above...

Nah, it was more than the dudes sister(who found out she was actually his cousin) wants to hump him.  Incesty stuff is pretty gross to me.

I think I'm going to cry.
I just realized how awesome Persona 4 is. And I know the gameplay reaches ungodly hours...
WHY WORLD WHY couldn't you show me this before!?

Have to go on a freaking long train ride before christmas, so I'm collecting music for the trip, to break up the usual punk/metal which is the main part of my collection I've been going through a pile of anime (a-z) to find the best OP and ED themes.

Came across the second ED theme for Chobits. It's definitely the best thing in that show by several lightyears. Listen to this, and save yourself the pain of watching 14 episodes of Chobits to find this track. Here's the full 4 minute version.
