A Code Geass Week (Late, but Not Under My Control)

Hello everyone, sorry for being a day late, but my internet was out last night and thus I couldn’t post.  Am I not supposed to post on Fridays?  I’m beginning to think so.  I’ve been continuing to reread Ascension Book One: Bloodline and also reread Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2.  The new chapters this week are: Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2, Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Another Soldier Reporting, Bleach Drabbles, Queen of the Sea, Short Story Drabbles, Burning Ice, Famiglia Drabbles, Pain and Hatred: A Stray Devil’s Tale, Seerking’s Asylum, Heroes Assemble!, By Your Side is Where I Belong, Titanfall, Taylor Varga, Relic of the Future & Gun Bunny.

As I mentioned last time, I went to go see Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;Surrection movie on Tuesday.  It was awesome, but before I go on –

*Spolier Warning*

For those who haven’t watched either the previous movies (which I did before the movie to know the differences, and I also love the third’s ending song, Re:One) or the series: Lelouch sacrifices himself at the end to take away the world’s hatred.  However, because he had taken his father/uncle’s code in the Thought Elevator he revived: without his memories.   The main difference in the series and the movies is that Shirley survives in the movies.  She takes his body away and gives him to C.C. to help.  She takes his scared and unable to take care of himself body to find another Thought Elevator to get back his memories.

It’s a great movie that allows characters to share their thoughts on him and what he did.  Facing a Geass user who can send her memories into the past if she dies, how will Lelouch beat her?  Will he be able to save Suzaku and Nunnally?  Where will he go now that he’s back?

I really like that he chooses to stay with C.C. after everything she did for him.  I feel bad for Kallen, but C.C. really took care of him while looking out for his body and deserves him in this one.

*End Spoiler Warning*

Also I heard that there is a 10 year plan for the series that I’m looking forward to!  (I also went to go see Detective Pikachu today [Saturday], but I’ll leave that to next time as it wasn’t an original part of this post.)

Moving on, because of the movie I tried looking for Code Geass fics where they watch the series after and couldn’t find one that was finished or updated recently.  The first one I found was The Truth Hurts More by sfaye-chan.  It has C.C. giving Nunnally the DVDs of the series and has all the surviving participants watch them.  It gets through episode 4 and hasn’t been updated since Aug last year.  It’s good, but again not finished.

Next was And It All Comes Out by Fearel.  It has C.C. giving the DVDs to Kallen and she gets everyone together.  It’s also on episode 4, but only halfway through it and it hasn’t been updated since 2016.

Finally, was Entropy by ShadowBlah2.  It’s the longest one, getting through episode 9 and the best one overall in my opinion.  It has Nunnally finding the DVDs (presumably from C’s World) and has everyone watch them, with things devolving as the episodes go on.  It’s funny to watch Suzaku (as Zero) be horrified with so many people knowing his identity and failing to tell everyone to get it over with.  It hasn’t been updated since mid-2017.

I also read another fic called Code Geass: Re by Ignatius Thunderblade.  It has Lelouch going back to his child body and changing things.  He reminds C.C. and eventually Kallen and he changes things slightly but ends up with he and Suzaku switching sides (sort of).  It’s interesting and being currently updated.

Finally, kb0 came out with a new fic called Ginny’s Plan.  It happens when Harry breaks up with her at the end of book 6.  She doesn’t accept it and has a plan to help him when the war.  Only one chapter and it’ll be updated weekly, but it has him going to Grimwald Place instead of Privet Drive and making it his base for the summer.  Looks to be interesting!

That’s it for this week.  Hope everyone has a great week and I really promise to have the next post on Friday!  May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

After the Quest and a Change in the Posting Schedule

Hi everyone! Sorry I didn’t post on Friday, I actually forgot and didn’t really remember until Sunday (or maybe Saturday, but not until late). Thinking about it, I’ve decided that I’ll just post on Fridays, because then I won’t have to worry about staying up late to post (I have very early mornings, not that it matters this week cause I don’t have work for the rest of it cause there’s not currently much work.) Anyway, I’ve been rereading a few of sakurademonalchemist stories (mostly listening to them), but I’ve also been rereading Ichigo Awakens, Prime Directive: Hero, Gamer of the Sword and finished rereading the Pick Up the Pieces series – Rebuild. The new chapters this past week were: Devil Ninja, Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji, Viridescent, Heroes Assemble!, Raptor of the 20th Ward, Titanfall, Taylor Varga (Thurs & Sun) , Unexpected Restart, An Essence of Silver and Steel, Relic of the Future, Gun Bunny, The Unseen Hunt, God Slaying Blade Works, Tsunami, Black Sky, Mauling Snarks (Omake on Wed, Normal on Fri & Mon), Another Soldier Reporting (Mon & Tues), Souls of the Heart and Service with a Smile.

Since the Quest is over, you’d think that I wouldn’t have much to talk about sakurademonalchemist for, right? Well they have another new story. Its called Hashtag Believing is Seeing. It’s a Rise of the Guardians story where Jack discovers that the Internet can allow him to interact with humans and raise the belief in himself. Thus when the Guardians pull him into their fight with Pitch, he’s not very happy. It’s fun and is two chapters now (started yesterday).

I’ve also been reading some of the compilation fics they have, so I’ll go over them. Kingdom Drabbles is a Kingdom Hearts compilation fic where stories with KH as one of the original stories that might eventually be continued are.   So far it’s has crossovers with Fate/Extra, Once Upon a Time, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Nanoha and KHR. They’re interesting, but the nine chapters only contain up to two chapters of the story.

Bleach Drabbles is much the same only for Bleach. It has crossovers for Hell Girl, Nanoha, Naruto, Harry Potter, Natsume’s Book of Friends, Supernatural, My Little Pony (though it’s not very Bleachy) and KHR. Only one of the stories in here has become a fic of its own, Reaping the Cards. It’s also the only one with three chapters.

The Twin Tides is a fic that just got an update that’s by Solvdrage. It’s a Naruto fic where Naruto has a female twin that looks out for him. It’s only three chapters now, but Solvdrage does good fics (though they usually update slowly). It’s only just on when they graduate, but it looks like it won’t be the same old teams!

sbmcneil posted a new one-shot just an hour ago called Of Splendour in the Grass. It’s a Harry Potter fic focused on Harry/Ginny during his fifth year. In it Harry and Ginny are sent on a ‘detention’ date to Hogsmeade by McGonagall. It’s a cute litte fic.

I forgot to mention it, but a little while back, they also posted another one-shot called A Godfather’s Love. It has Sirius never escaping and being killed when Voldemort invades Azkaban. Harry never knew about him until then and when he finds out it was kept from him, he finds his own help to stop Voldie. A sad fic, but not a bad one.

That’s it for the new stories, but I have a few more things to talk about. Next month the new Code Geass Movie, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, is going to be in theaters. It’ll be playing in select theaters on May 5, 7 & 8. The 5th will be subbed and the 7th and 8th will be dubbed. You can buy tickets on the Funimation website – https://www.funimationfilms.com/.

I’ve also been watching a YouTuber – SarahKey play through KH3.   Why because I can and it’s interesting watching someone react to everything for the first time. Here is a link to her channel – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6TF2WuXLVgcP5TZVLuLf4A.

Thanks everyone for putting up with me. See you on Friday and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
