Code Geass R2: Episode 02 Review

Oh but it is Geass.  Remember kids just because Zero throws around wanton terrorism doesn’t mean you should too.  Here’s the second episode of Code Geass R2.  The first episode didn’t do much to catch everyone up on what had happened since the last season so this one was given the dubious position of being the catch-up episode.  I was a little bit skeptical after the first episode, but episode 2 seems to bring us back on track with plot twists and action I’ve come to expect of Code Geass.

Code Geass: R2 episode 01 Review

I’m writing this review assuming those who read this have already seen the first season of Code Geass.  The story takes place one year after the ‘assassination’ of Zero and the destruction of the Black Knights.  Japan (sector 11) has returned back to a subservient position to the occupying Britannia oppressors.  There’s a lot more racial discrimination evident in this season then the last and the Britannians trust the elevens even less now after the attempted insurrection.  The elevens themselves still hold zero as a hero even after his supposed death even if it would brand them as heretics.  One theme that seems to have come to the forefront now is that of distrust.  It might just be me, but it seems to have become more prevalent.
