Sorry 4me-chan but since you have yet to see Code Geass none of your votes count. :(

[Pearl Milk Tea]

lol yes yes, it's absurd not having "Code Geass R2" in any of your categories, especially in Best Anime of 2008 :P

[ware4me]

WTH! :mad:

CG can't be that good if it is filled with mechas :lol:

[Zer0]

How Naive 4me. I didn't think i could expect this from you.

But Rules are rules. If i where you i go dl Code Geass right now pause what whatever dl you got going on now and let CG finish then drop whatever kiddy show your watching, order a large pizza from pizza hut and watch season 1 and season 2 of code geass, because after you finish watching season 1 there is nothing that will stop you from seeing season 2. your gonna wanna see it no matter what. trust me. i guarantee it. then after you seen there series, your gonna wonder why you havent seen this show sooner.

i actually hate watching mechas such as gundam. but i will tell you this Code Geass is probably the best anime i ever seen. ever. And there are other great show that happen to have meccas in them such as tengen toppa gurren lagenn.
Just watch it 4me. You'll be doing yourself a favor. Trust me.

[ware4me]

I'm downloading 13 series now... 3 of them are 80GB, CG will have to wait :drop:

Hmm... I told Zer0 that 4me will get CG, but it will have to wait some time :lol:

[LittleVexy]

I seen CG.. It did nothing for me... meh!

[Pearl Milk Tea]

Well, it's not much of a ecchi or yuri anime, so... :P

[ware4me]

:lol: Vexy knows 4me! :lol:

[LittleVexy]

4mew only watches ecchi animes :3:

[ware4me]

NAH! 4me luvs a lot of anime series, doesn't have to be ecchi :p

[ware4me]

Hmm... Zer0 should start counting votes :lol:

[LittleVexy]

WTH! :mad:

CG can't be that good if it is filled with mechas :lol:
Down with Mechas!!! xD

[ware4me]

Hmm... R2 isn't that good, at least not the first 2 episodes. But be glad, I liked CodeGeass enough to say it is a keeper and a must watch.

But so far I don't think the same for R2

Well... I'll try to figure out a way to let everyone know the winners, maybe using tags. :3:

[Zer0]

actually i never expected u to like it as much as u thought. since i know ur favorite type of shows involve high school Love/dramas.
i only expected you to like it as much as the amount of high school love/drama was in it. which was only in season one. even then it wasn't much, but im sure you will like the ending of R2 more than the beginning. very good show even if dont like the genra.

* episode one was very confusing i didnt like it a great deal either, but
if i remember correctly episode 2 of R2 was actually quite Epic. (the return of Zero) i think.

[ware4me]

Yeah, I liked how bad was Lelouch, and couldn't stand Suzaku :lol:
