| For Code Geass? Don't think so, maybe 40. |
| I would say each episode of Code Geass is awesome and fun to watch. In fact, there isn't any bad episode. Still, I have to say episode 25 was a masterpiece. |

R2 still has its bright spots especially with the last arc and the ending, but to me it will never compare to how much I enjoyed S1 when I first saw it. Also fun fact, the original script for episode 26 (before the change in direction) was shared by the showrunners and is available online to read thanks to a fan translation, if anyone is interested about the original plan of R2 I would recommend checking it out: https://rainfall.dreamwidth.org/107694.html Theres no reboot in start of r2 and I never understand why anyone things this as reboot implies repeating the same events which isnt at all the case. The change in timeslot resulted in minor changes to actual story aka which point they start back from the major changes everyone mistakenly thinks occurs actually is towards the coloring and lighting in the show via timeslot for certain audience S2 did not setup many things besides the ending as creators stated, the only part they changed was Lelouch being still locked up in prison or not.  |

Well as I mentioned it's a 'soft' reboot, it still acts as a sequel of course but to welcome new audiences into the show as well, It wasn't just Lelouch being imprisoned that was changed, Rolo was added, the knights of the round, etc, if you want to get deep into it there were many other changes that Okouchi listed during interviews: https://mononoke-no-ko.tumblr.com/post/181136723714/writer-okouchi-geass-memories-on-writing-early A presidential election between Schnizel and Zero, Suzaku using Refrain instead of Lelouch, and many other things, what we got is what we got at the end of the day, and I am happy with a lot of it, even still, I am left wondering what route the story would've taken had those initial plans been concieved. |

Lelouch being imprisoned is pretty much the only change he made feom the original script. The link u sent is him talking about his brainstorming up new ideas which why he mentioned never created characters to be introduced. Ye I agree overall it came to the best and most perfect way possible to reintroduce the series to new people for them to start it from the actual start while also keeping up with the former audience. |

| @itzswxzy I don't really see what differentiates Lelouch's imprisonment plot from the other ideas mentioned in that thread regarding brainstorming, they were all brainstormed at the end of the day, that's part of the story writing process, it's also fair to assume that the soft reboot had the knock off effect of changing the entire course of the story, especially considering a character like Rolo for example only exists because of that reason, going from Lelouch being in prison to him losing his memory is a pretty big change, it had to alter other elements of the story as well, I think it's naive to assume otherwise personally. |
| Ep 50 is excellent in everything except writing Ep 25 is excellent in cliffhanger. |
