 ====== Code Geass ======
-{{ img:bnr:r:code-geass.png?460 }}**コードギアス(**Code Geass ([[lb:E7]]:gías)) is a [[lb:mecha]] [[lb:anime]] franchise about a group of terrorists cosplaying as Knights in Japan fighting against an oppressive and questionably evil Empire of super-Brits from America. The guy in charge of the cosplayer knights has a super-powered eye that gives him mind control abilities.\\  Needless to say, Code Geass is pretty crazy.

 Nunally in Wonderland is a very strange thing to come out of Code Geass. Despite this, it's also entirely understandable, at least in hindsight.\\  The premise is that Alice in Wonderland is one of Nunally's favorite books and, so, Lelouch uses his Geass to manipulate all the characters of Code Geass into replaying that book for her. This is one of the few pieces of official content that acknowledges Lelouch's siscon status, although I think it's not subtle enough.\\  The artwork is cute and it's fun to watch. Who is who is quite amusing.\\  This is not technically an anime, as it's a picture drama (like one step above just a radio drama).
+==== Suzaku of the Counter-Attack ====
+This is a spin-off set in an alternate continuity where Suzaku is a power ranger and he bangs the technician instead of the princess.\\
+It's a bit short, but still pretty good.
+==== Tales of an Alternate Shogunate ====
+This is a really bizarre manga spin-off. It takes place during the historical time period of the Tokugawa Shogunate right after the US forces the country to end its isolation.\\
+It's kinda funny, the artwork is nice and...that's all I wrote in my notes.
+==== Nightmare of Nunally ====
+This is a very [[lb:evangelion]] inspired spin-off. The premise is a ‘what if’ scenario...what if Nunally made a contract with C.C. instead of it being Lelouch. Except, not really.\\
+My notes are, as per usual, sparse...they just say that it's about average in quality. There's twist after twist and the insanity ‘might be a bonus’.\\
+I also wrote that the Knightmares resemble Evangelions; the ‘Eden of Vital’ is ‘just like the Black Moon and Instrumentality’ and, well, that's that.
+===== Speculah & Analysis =====
+==== Shirley's Diary ====
+This is something I noticed and, since I noticed, I can’t un-notice...so I bestow this curse upon you as well.\\
+Shirley is a Britannian. Britannians speak English as their main language. English is written left-to-right. So far, none of this is that unusual.\\
+However! Shirley's diary is opened right-to-left and, like a Japanese novel, is set up that way as well. However, the inside of the diary is still written left-to-right.\\
+Now you know and, just like me, you will be cursed with wondering //why//.

   * This article used to have quite a bit here, but I cut it down and refined it to finally release it.
   * I noticed a quirk that the Emperor and Imperial family (Japan) are not really mentioned at all during the series. I'm assuming they do exist...//somewhere//...though it's strange they aren't mentioned. Maybe some kind of taboo on portraying them in media? Kinda like how GATE implies the Emperor taking an action, but doesn't show or even say it's him.
-  * I suddenly remembered that I read two of the manga...I think it was Knightmare of Nunally and Suzaku of the Counterattack. The latter one is relevant because it's referenced a few times in the anime.
+  * Suzaku of the Counterattack is referenced a few times in the anime.
   * I keep forgetting that Code Geass is a //mecha// anime.
   * EFAP has an exceptionally stupid opinion of this series.
   * I noticed something a bit ironic during my current re-watch. The Emperor and Britannia are framed negatively by the narrative because, well, they're a state that rules tyrannically and with a cutthroat monarchy and blah blah blah. However! It's also true that this is the largest, most stable, most prosperous and most technologically advanced state on the planet in their universe. The series is, perhaps inadvertently, suggesting that this is a very effective form of governance.
