Probably the strongest characteristic of this anime series for both season is its twist and turns of its plots that would keep its viewers guessing and scratching their heads. I have to admit it that this didn’t just happened to me just once but more than twice, even in the last episode my guess was like 80% incorrect. Like the title of the said anime, Geass is dubbed as the power of kings and is responsible for somewhat making decision or desires into possibility. Although, through the course of the series, you will observe that not one person has the same kind of Geass given by either C.C or V.V.

The story revolves around Lelouch Vi Britannia, a prince in the empire of Britannia but was forced to live in Japan after being outcasted by his father, Emperor Charles of Britannia. After receiving Geass from C.C. he tried to create a world of peace for his beloved sister, Nunnally. But before this vision of his can be achieved, he must overcome different obstacle including his father which he thinks is the biggest threat. But since their lives are in jeopardy, since their father wants them dead, he takes in a masked character known as Zero. Like any other great leader or figure in history, he rally supporter starting from the resistance then inching his way up to prominent leaders without letting them know how he create his “miraculous” victories. It would really ruin if I would elaborate more here, it is just better if you watch the 50 episode, it is worth it. Maybe someday I will get my very own copy of this series, definitely must have in a collection. Before I end this writeup and give you a link to the 1st episode of Code Geass season one, here are some words of wisdom from Lelouch, ROFL, thought it was a great line.

Don’t you think wishes are the same as the Geass?

Things that you can’t accomplish with your own powers, you ask for the assistance of others.

I shall gamble on the Geass known as people’s wishes for the sake of the world’s future.

“All Hail Lelouch!”

Code Geass Season 1 – Episode 1

*note: I prefer more of the original voice with sub titles rather than being dubbed.

Titled The Rise of 00, it still focuses on a group of people trying to change the corrupted and chaotic world. More after the jump.

Like I’ve said in my blog before the 1st season aired, the gundam franchise is something that most people look forward to. Gundam 00 season ending was not your usual season ender, lots of hearts were shattered or people shouting ‘Why, why”. Usually, it is just one or two people that would get killed in season then in the next season those who lost someone will take revenge. But in Gundam 00 S1, more or less half of the Celestial Being lost their lives in maybe one of the most dramatic battle I’ve seen. This Celestial Being is an organization that is having a crusade in turning Earth in 2300 century into a more peacefull place to live. The main character, Setsuna F. Seiei, will once more people who oppress peace together with other Gundam pilots & Celestial Beings. What speculations I have for this coming season, my answer would be none but one things for sure it would be something to look forward to. I was entertained in the previous season although demise with the lost of Lockon Stratos but I would still give it a thumbs up.  Anyways, I will just have another post of pics of the new Gundam units and a summary of season 1. So till then, here are some trailers of season 2. Enjoy!

New Kids on the Block – Step by step

Is that them must be going through your mind by now. Yup that is them, hard to believe that guys like that is trying to break into the music scene again at their age, well older than most groups i suppose. Although, in my personal opinion, if they continue making this kind of music with modern tunes & beats. They could hit the mainstream even greater than in the late 80s and early 90s. But like their act then, time will be the judge of that especially now that kids & teens are almost glued to the tunes of Miley Cyrus & The Jonas Brothers. Here’s the 2nd single of their The Block album featuring Ne-yo.
