Anime

Code Geass and Death Note actually aired on Toonami side by side, so it's interesting to see how you might feel as Light and Lelouch craft their plots.

But yeah, Geass has a way of not giving us a really happy ending with any series. Pretty much the consequences of using the power weighs on the user and such. And as you saw with Euphie, it doesn't take much to make things go sideways. I'll warn you that season 2 is a bit of a backstep at first and might feel like it's dragging at times until it reaches the endgame. But it is one of my favorites despite that. Should you look past the series the first three movies are a bit of an alternate continuity where much of the same happens but a few changes do occur. And every other Anime project spins off of this movie universe. Not that it matters too much if you watched either before jumping into the fourth movie as the one change I really notice doesn't effect much overall. But there is some timeline stuff.

Lelouch of the Rebellion Season 1
Akito the Exiled (Side story that barely crosses paths with the series)
Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (Season 2)
Movie 4 (Name is a bit of a spoiler. Lelouch of the Resurrection )
Roze of the Recappture

To be honest Akito is tough to get a hold of as I don't think it ever made it to streaming, and it really doesn't add much to anything. I'd recommend the fourth movie if you want more of the characters you know. Roze just finished on Hulu and it felt like Geass was aping the Star Wars sequel trilogy. So for me that is happy there is more, but it really needs to do something a bit different.

Yeah, the incident with Euphie was terrible! It was almost contrived but still a horrible story thing to suddenly spring up on viewers.

Decided to back the Animeigo Dagger of Kamui bluray kickstarter as I like supporting the company in general, but watching the trailer actually makes me interested in it. Going to look forward to that down the line. Three days left for those who want in on this.

Yeah, but then the ending of the whole series was quite the surprise as it came out of nowhere!

More seasons that ended:
Zozo Zombie-kun: Gag show about zombies. Pretty silly, and new chars pop in a lot. No overarching plot so nothing matters too much. Later on it switches to English-only. Though for some reason, on Crunchyroll the audio and captions stopped working at this point, until the last 2 eps. Not too big of a deal since I wasn't that invested.

Twilight Out of Focus: This one felt like reading a yaoi doujin, was probably based off one. Boys-only high school, the film club, and the couples that form. While it did feel a bit old school in assigning the uke/seme roles, there wasn't TOO much drama and it was warm and fuzzy overall.

Ramen Akaneko: Slice of life show about a ramen store run by cats, and the human who joins them. Switches b/t CG and drawn graphics a lot, but it's not too jarring. The story is silly, sweet, and sometimes tearful. Definitely want more. Krishna the tiger is so cute.

Watched the latest ep of Quality Assurance in Another World, earlier, and honestly, this series feels like what SAO should of been with the whole trapped in the game world thing, with SAO, I feel like they ended the whole SAO side far to quickly and felt unnatural, breaking the established rules, in general that series best arc, is the Gun Gale, the Alicezation arc and War of the Underworld, weren't that good if you ask me, espeically the War of the Underworld as it was clear the series was loosing sight of its actual story!

OmPrimus, Rolo just killed Shirley?!? WtF?!?! I like Rolo but, ugh, it was just a misunderstanding, miscommunication thing! Geez!

Edit - Holy cow, Rolo just died too! Aw man! He was a killer but he still believed that Lelouch is his bro. Even though Lelouch kept trying to kill him, he died believing Lelouch was family. Geez.

Yes, I know Nunally got vaporized by the Fleijisomething but I liked Rolo more.

Edit 2 - wait, WHAT?!?

Watched the latest ep of: No Longer Allowed In Another World and honestly, it was a barrel of laughs, I really hope this series gets another season, its one of the most fun series around as you don't know what to really expect at times

The new Wataru anime looks very Minecraft:
The original for comparison(which had character design by Toriyama of DB fame):

Also waiting for this:
I've read most of the manga it actually is pretty fun - it was definitely made by someone who understands toku cliches and how to use them
