Okay, let's be real. We all cried when Lelouch died. The world stopped. Pizza sales plummeted (probably).
Then BAM! Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection. He's... back? With a dub? My inner fangirl did a cartwheel.
The Return That Divided the Fanbase
Some people were hyped! Others? Not so much. It's like pineapple on pizza: a very divisive issue.
The Dub: Hero or Zero?
The big question: How was the dub? Did they do Lelouch justice? This is where my unpopular opinion comes in.
I... kinda liked it. Okay, maybe I really liked it. Prepare for the outrage.
Hear me out! The original Japanese is amazing. But sometimes, I'm just too busy shoveling popcorn to read subtitles.
The English voice actors knew their stuff. Johnny Yong Bosch *is* Lelouch. Period.
Plot Holes and Pizza: A Match Made in Geass
The plot? Um... complicated. Let's just say it involved a lot of Geass, some questionable science, and a resurrected emperor.
Did everything make perfect sense? Absolutely not. Did I care? Nope! Lelouch was back, and that's all that mattered.
It's like a delicious, cheesy pizza with a few burnt spots. You still devour the whole thing.
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
I actually enjoyed the movie! Yes, even with the dub! Don't @ me.
It's pure fan service, I admit it. But after years of mourning Lelouch's demise, I welcomed the cheesy resurrection with open arms.
Sometimes, you just need a bit of closure (and explosions) in your life.
The Code Geass Legacy: Still Going Strong
Code Geass is a classic. It's got drama, mecha fights, and enough plot twists to make your head spin.
Lelouch is an icon. A mastermind. A pizza enthusiast. What's not to love?
And the fact that we're still talking about Lelouch of the Resurrection proves its lasting impact.
Embrace the Chaos!
So, is the movie perfect? Nah. Is the dub Shakespearean? Probably not.
But is it entertaining? Absolutely! Sometimes, you just need to switch off your brain and enjoy the ride.
So go on, give the dubbed version a try. Maybe you'll hate it. Maybe you'll love it. Either way, you'll have an opinion.
And isn't that what Code Geass is all about? Making us think, feel, and argue about ridiculously awesome anime?
Plus, you can always order a pizza while you watch. Lelouch would approve.
