They casually changed the Nunally scene that backed the whole survival theory, in a recap movie made before releasing the sequel where he survive.
What the hell where they thinking ? just lol

C.C. booty.
Lelouch and Orange-kun.
Xing-ke.
Lelouch and Suzaku.
Excalibur.
Lelouch lies to Suzaku about Euphy.
Suzaku uses his foot to bring Lelouch's head to the ground.


And that was the end. LMAO at Shirley now alive to the end and forcing her name on Orange-kun's letter. They changed the pic of Lelouch on Kallen's wall. This is for sure a new alternate timeline in order to make FnL possible and they ruined Lelouch and Kallen's relationship in the process. Certain characters who originally died now live in this alternate timeline. Taniguchi said Lelouch and Shirley were dating (it didn't look like it) in these films unlike in the original series. Taniguchi was my GOAT during season 1. Ever since the executives meddled with the series that altered season 2 (R2 means Route 2 because the story was altered), it just hasn't been the same.

I remember hating Rollo long ago and I didn't care when he died, but now, I feel so bad for him, since this time he didn't really do anything wrong.

Knight of 12 Monica is so pretty. Damn, I'm so attracted to her! It really sucks that she died! Suzaku should've shown mercy on waifus. tsk

I'm with the Emperor and Marianne with their new world. Once everything is united, it will be eternal peace for all. Lelouch isn't looking into the future far enough. Zero Requiem's peace is only temporary. Given enough time, people will end up doing the same mistake all over again. It's the same thing that's happening in real life right now. Ragnarok is still the best option since it ensures everlasting peace.

That ending with Lelouch dying and the completion of Zero Requiem is still one of the best anime ending IMO, especially when I first saw it. I didn't see it coming at all!

Man, that ED is super duper badass! Instant added to my play list.

Upon rewatching Code Geass 3 times including the recap movies, all the plot holes, dumb writing, plot conveniences & contrivances became more apparent.

The Highly praised ending Zero Requiem also makes no sense and feels contrived and forced to gain sympathy for Lelouch

10mins of pathos sequence and the grandiose opera soundtrack sadly can't fix all the plot holes, dumb writing and contrivances.
He could've kept the throne and made change happen differently. Even the upcoming sequels can't fix any of these.
These are irrefutable facts and the people who watched the show for the first time are blinded by the ending.

There are obvious problems with the Zero Requiem plan as many people have already pointed out. Lelouch was too quick to sacrifice himself. He should have stuck around to manipulate world events from the shadows. At least he could have used his Geass to control Schneizel and make him a puppet Emperor. And even if he were insistent on the Zero Requiem plan, at least make Schneizel the puppet evil Emperor the sacrifice instead of himself.

The trilogy ends strong, onto seeing what the Re:surrection offers!

I remember hearing about retcons, but the main one is that Shirley is alive? haha, other that that I only noticed minor changes. No cart/man at the end with C.C. which is hilarious considering all the theories that man was Lelouch, the next movie is supposedly about his revival, but they removed the part that spawned a lot of the fan theories haha. Obviously an intentional nod to that scene at the end of the series, I do wonder how they handle things in the next movie, it can't be too bad as it seemed to review well!

Saying all that, these three movies at least are great way to revisit the classic series!

Yea, still cut many things but not bad show. Still enjoyable mostly the climax. Never forget the climax they've made it was awesome. Love the show and pretty exciting. Moment that Nunally and Lelouch in the end was memorable. Lelouch did everything for the sins of their parents that everyone don't know about it. The last scene, yesss Lelouch still alive and he must be alive because it tell about the next show i guess.

Really loved the added song from series. I'm glad they used Mosaic Kakera in this movie again :D
Lelouch vs Charles, Lelouch vs Schniezel, and the end with Zero striking Lelouch was all awesome. I think most of the cuts(maybe few new cuts here and there) are the same from the TV series.

"The only one who should kill are those prepared to die themselves" - Most important line.

The very end scene was different. C.C was riding a Donkey and she was reading a letter by Shirley and Jeremiah. And C.C. said something about Jeremiah and Shirley carrying something to a particular place.(which i think is Lelouch's body) "ジェレミアとシャーリーがこんなところに運びおって…"
It also showed Zero's broken mask washed along the shore, and ended with "Next: Resurrection" Nothing too much was hinted about Resurrection unfortunately.

I think it's safe to assume that "Re;surrection" is the continuation of R2 movie instead of R2 TV series. Different timeline where Shirley is alive.

Really enjoyed this a lot.

Score 9/10 at MAL.

This trilogy is a bit of a pointless exercise. It seems like it was made for a fragile segment public that didn't want their favorites to die. But by removing the stakes it infantilized it. And by removing the finality of the Zero Requiem, it makes it kinda pointless. Lelouch is a great character but he did some terrible, terrible things. And by taking his own life by Suzaku's sword, he was taking responsibility. Him surviving is a narrative cop out or a money grab.

What a great series. even after watching the main season, the movie was still a great watch.

Knowing Shirley is alive, rolo's death hits quite hard (ToT). Well at least Shirley is alive and well in this AU.

The after credit scene makes it obvious that lelouch is about to resurrect, Shirley and jeremiah send that resurrected gift to cc. Really hype for the next movie since it looks like it'll be the continuation and the fulfilment of the contract that was made between lelouch and cc. 9/10

After 3 months of watching the 2nd movie, I finally reached the finale of the trilogy. This was definitely an alternate timeline to the main TV series, in which Shirley is alive. I personally enjoyed this movie because it was an intense, action-packed retelling of the climax of R2. Fantastic use of soundtrack too. They finally used "Mosaic Kakera" in this movie, since I've been waiting to hear it from the previous two movies, but they never played it in those movies. The new scenes can be a bit hard to tell apart & recognize from this movie, especially if it's been a long time since I've watched the original. But what I can confidently say is that all scenes involving Shirley in this movie are brand new.

The epilogue after the credits roll was totally altered from the original show. C.C. travels while riding a donkey, and she's invited by both Jeremiah AND Shirley to Jeremiah's wonderful paradise, lol. I believe this is what will connect to the Fukkatsu no Lelouch movie, along with the broken mask of Zero, which was shown drifting along the shore. This is what will eventually lead to Lelouch's resurrection.

Whew, it was a long journey to watch all three of these big recap movies. The only way to watch the Fukkatsu no Lelouch movie was to watch these three recap movies after finishing the main series, because these movies lead to a different timeline with one character (namely, Shirley) alive in the story, and it would be incredibly confusing for people who haven't watched these recap movies after completing the TV series. Well, I made it, and I'm ready to witness the Re;surrection movie very soon. I'm so looking forward to witnessing a brand-new story featuring the characters from the main series, whom I've grown attached to. How I've waited for this moment.

Stunning! This, by all means, wasn't perfect, but this movie was still a great wrap-up to this alternate timeline. 9/10!!
