Code Geass R2 episode 05

I know I am late. Don’t remind me. Apparently I’m much busier during holiday compared to when I was at campus. Sigh!

Members of The Order of the Black Knights are celebrating their victory against the Britannia army earlier, while Lelouch was about the Knightmare Vincent who saved him. However Lelouch refuses to reveal anything to Kallen and C.C. about the pilot, saying that it is alright if he keeps certain matters as secret from them. Later on, Lelouch joined the members of the Black Knights as Zero. Instead he was confronted by some of the members about him abandoning them at the eleventh hour during the Black Rebellion. Many were not happy with Zero’s explanation but after Toudou and Ougi come to Zero’s defense and prompt that Zero is necessary for their victory, the Black Knights let out a roaring cheer for Zero. More after the jump.

We continue to follow the footsteps of the award winning act cute protagonist together with his 3 guardians into the hidden fuuma ninja village.

Edit: Due to my hectic work and procrastinations, this will be a combined review of episode 3, Raid and episode 4, Assignment (I didn’t like the translation, based on the chinese characters, it would be more appropriate to name it “Mission Briefing” oh well).

Code Geass R2 episode 04

Rollo confessed of having killed many people ever since he was a child using his Geass, being used as an assassination tool by Britannia. Since he never had any family before, his undercover operation as Lelouch’s brother seems doubtful to achieve but he is aware that he is doing it for the sake of his mission. More after the jump.

nabari no ou episode 1

Ok, so here’s nabari no.1. Let’s first take a look at the anime series’s name : Nabari no ou. A quick reference to ANN provides two alternative titles or should I just say, translated titles : Ruler of Nabari and 隠の王 (Japanese). The latter title in japanese using kanji has the words “隠” which is similar to a chinese word for ‘hidden’ and ‘王’ which is exactly the same as King/ruler in chinese. So we can conclude that Nabari no ou means the ‘King of the hidden’ (kingdom/ninjas etc.) OR it could mean ‘Hidden king’. I’m opting for the latter after watching the first episode. Summary and thoughts after the break.
