+====== Code MENT ======
+{{ img:b:r:code-ment.png?460 }}
+**Code MENT** is an...abridged series based on [[lb:codegeass]]. Although ‘abridged’ is probably not the best word to use, since it goes completely off the rails and is nothing like [[playground:sao:abridged|SAO Abridged]]. It's so crazy that it inspired a sub-genre of abridged series called MENTs or abridgeMENTs.\\  It was created by PurpleEyesWTF, whose channel suddenly disappeared one day because, apparently, he deleted it in a COVID-fueled fever dream. Code MENT has been archived entirely by a guy (with Purple's permission), so that's nice. The archive channel also includes a remastered version of Code MENT, made by the archiver. It's actively being released.((:fn:>Besides remastering and archiving, he's also making his own series on Clannad, which I won't watch, because I want to play Clannad first.))

+===== Review =====
+I don't really know what I could say, so I'll just say that it's funny, but can be <del>cringe-y</del>. **Nevermind**, I re-watched the entire series recently. The jokes get better over time, but there are still more //good jokes// than there are //cringe-y// ones. Some of the jokes in MENT went on to become more general memes that most people probably don't know came from here...I was shocked when I saw //the scene//. If you know, you know.\\
+What makes Code MENT interesting in particular is that there's an actual plot here...that //fits together//. The characterization of, get this, //characters// remains //consistent// throughout. All this just adds to the comedy - especially since some jokes are dependent upon continuity.

+  * My mind has this categorized as one of the ‘two great abridged series’ right next to [[playground:sao:abridged|SAO Abridged]]. Though, honestly, I don't watch any besides these two...and the only other ones I've seen are honestly pretty bad.
+  * The archiver is [[youu>gilles4prezudent650|Gilles4Prezudent]]. He claims that him and PurpleEyes briefly discussed continuing Code MENT on the archive channel...though that's currently a big ‘maybe’.
+  * Another thing that's kinda weird about Code MENT is that it follows the original events of the series in a manner that...kinda fits. Although there are a //lot// more jokes and the series mostly discards Code Geass lore...it still sticks to it in a way. Some jokes are based on the original storyline directly like...<wrap spoiler>‘The only person who shoots me is ME! Good luck trying to shoot me WHEN I'M ALREADY DEAD!’</wrap>
+    * Obviously, it's not a summary of Code Geass...but it still kinda sticks to the original storyline.
