Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I've seen a few episodes of Code Geass and I think it's overhyped, clichéd fluff. It doesn't even compare to Bebop or Gankutsuou. Go ahead, judge me.

>Code Geass
>fluff

Eh?

It's a show about terrorism. While there is fluff here and there, and it can't always (if ever) be taken seriously, it certainly isn't a fluff show. K-ON and other moeblob shit = fluff.

A show that hasn't got any particular depth, can't be taken seriously, and exists solely for providing mindless entertainment and feeding the fandom. Fluff.

(Btw, I didn't watch the entire show but to me it didn't seem to be about terrorism. It was more like a carefully picked and mix of everything that's popular nowadays: bishounen, T&A, fanservice, mecha, posturing and melodrama. But YMMV and all that.)

I think we have different definitions of fluff. My definition of fluff is plotless bullshit centered around pairings or marketing techniques, i.e. most harem shows or anything released by KyoAni. While CG has some of that, it isn't nearly to the extent of the aforementioned, and it doesn't revolve around it. Its intended purpose was, for the most part, to be taken seriously. The second season pushes it into "HAHA OH WOW" territory but overall I disagree with your opinion of its intended purpose, and I think watching more of it would change your mind, if you were inclined to do so.

As I said, your mileage may vary. From what I saw of Code Geass it was ridiculous and it was centered around pairings and marketing techniques. The characters, male and female alike, might as well had "WRITE DOUJINSHI ABOUT US" tattooed on their foreheads. It felt painfully calculated, as if the producers had a checklist of "stuff that makes a show popular" and constructed the show accordingly (which they probably did). If it was intended to be taken seriously it failed miserably. (Plus, Fukuyama Jun annoyed the hell out of me. I first heard him in Gankutsuou and he was stellar as Albert, but in CG he was so hammy and so annoying that it just grated on my nerves.)

You're a fan so you obviously saw something in it that I didn't. That's cool, but it doesn't make CG an outstanding, timeless masterpiece of the genre. And it doesn't make it any more serious or deep either. Whether you call it fluff or not, it's still the same show.

(reposted because LJ somehow ate the last part)

We might as well agree to disagree, because there probably isn't much else we can agree on besides the fact that Geass is a ridiculous series and can't be taken entirely seriously. It's clear that campy anime isn't your cup of tea; I'm just looking to be entertained, really. If a show entertains me, as far as I'm concerned, it's doing its job right as a form of entertainment. I'm not looking for depth or EXTREME EMOTIONAL REALISM. At the same time, I don't consider it fluff if only for the fact that fluff occupies likely less than a third of the series; the rest is DRAMATIC TENSION ACTION DRAMA, and despite how hilariously campy it is, it's not trying to be light-hearted. Fluff generally TRIES to be fluff, IMO.

It's a show about terrorism.

It doesn't really do a good job at it. It's so laughably bad that calling people calling it fluff are being a bit too nice.

And hey, K-ON is actually good for what it's set out to be, that is a slice-of-life show, ala Kamichu.

lol opinions

Slice of life is my definition of fluff.
