#code geass z of the recapture

[teablogreal]

Dropping my thoughts on episode 2 of Roze of the Recapture later tonight but right now my brain just realized something thats kinda fucking obvious in retrospect but its driving me insane regardless spoilers below this point

dude Roze is just an anagram of Zero how did i not fucking notice. "Roze" is just the same role as the identity of Zero from the original code geass, meant to hide the true identity of the protagonist. I hate how on the nose this is because I fucking failed to notice this till now. like, fuck. i feel violent after realizing this just now

Why Less is More when it comes to mech-series casts in SRW

One of the interesting things I’m sure most people have noticed about the series roster for Super Robot Wars Y so far is just how small it is compared to other entries in the franchise. At just eight entries, it’s a full half the roster of Super Robot Wars 30, and that’s with specifically omitting 30’s titles that were just adding a specific mech or two (like how the original Mobile Suit Gundam is represented only by the RX-78 being an available mech for a post-CCA Amuro to pilot), the various crossover appearances of previous SRW Original Generation characters added in free updates, or the shows added via DLC and Expansions. If we include 30’s full roster, then Y’s entries so far don’t even hit a FIFTH of that.

Now obviously it sounds like we’re getting at least a few more entries in Y in addition to what’s been announced at the moment. But again, we would need to get double the number of shows announced so far before Y got to only just as many entries as 30 had.

And that’s not accounting for how at least some of those additional titles are almost certainly likewise going to be ‘mech only’ entries, like how we might get Macross 7 or Macross Frontier making an appearance just in the form of unlockable units. Or specific spinoffs of the already included shows that will take the form of additional characters and mechs to flesh out the roster but not really add additional story points. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if Code Geass’s entry was expanded from just Lelouch of the Resurrection to include Akito the Exiled and Oz the Reflection in the form of ‘Post-Series’ versions of those characters.

As an aside, I feel like there is a VERY good chance that we see both Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture and Macross Delta: ABSOLUTE LIVE as post-release DLC/Expansion content, in a similar vein to how 30’s expansions included a fair bit of continued story content following up from the base game.

What all this means is that I think it’s very likely that Super Robot Wars Y ends up having a roster of included mecha series a fair bit smaller than what we’ve seen in more recent SRW titles. Notably, even 30 had a slightly smaller roster than any entries in the proceeding ‘VTX Trilogy’ of games (16 compared to 18 or 19), and certainly much smaller than the absolutely LUDICROUS rosters of the Z series of games. Rather, Y may likely end up having a roster more around the size of the older handheld entries like J, W, K or L.

And you know, I think that might actually be a GOOD thing.

Because here’s where I talk about (part of) why Super Robot Wars W is one of my all time favorite entries in the franchise.

When it comes to story, writing and ‘universe blending’, basically everyone can agree that W is one of, if not THE best Super Robot Wars entry out there. It does a frankly incredible job of weaving multiple different mecha shows into an amazingly cohesive story that at many times even improves on some of the individual narratives. I means I could probably do a whole separate post on how W essentially builds an entirely separate PREQUEL show for Detonator Orgun that kind of completely changes who the real main character of that show is (if anyone wants that post, let me know XD).

Not only that, but W’s roster of shows are incredibly well fleshed out in terms of story, characters and mechs that appear in ways we RARELY ever see in other SRW games. Like other games will often really flesh out something like a third to half of their included shows while the rest are just sort of… there. Usually in the form of ‘their story already happened’. But W’s included shows get basically the FULL adaptation treatment pretty much across the board.

Like Super Robot Wars W adapts basically the ENTIRE stories of Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED Astray (along with both Astray R and X Astray), Detonator Orgun (plus making a whole-ass prequel), Tekkaman Blade (both show and OVA), Mazinkaiser (OVA and Movie), GaoGaiGar (show and OVA), King of Beasts Golion (aka Voltron), Fullmetal Panic! (both the first anime and The Second Raid, plus bits of Fumoffu), AND Martian Successor Nadesico (both series and movie), all with surprisingly little cut out into terms of major narrative or character beats. And the bits that ARE cut usually take the form of ‘we’re NOT killing this character off and letting them stick around as a continued presence in the story’. I mean, not only does W not kill of Nadesico’s Gai Gaigouji, they have him stick around for the rest of the story, even into the Prince of Darkness movie complete with his own unique character model and custom Aestivalis!

The same goes for the included mech-roster for all these shows, which are frankly MASSIVE compared to other SRW games. I mean just look at the Playable Unit List for this game! It’s pretty much a given that most shows in an SRW game will see at least some of their lesser known mechs cut. But in W, basically the FULL mech roster from EVERY included series is available! Just to give an example, W is the ONLY Super Robot Wars game to feature the ENTIRE cast/mech-roster of GaoGaiGar through to the end of GGG FINAL. Alpha 3 had to cut Furyu and Rairyu, and later GaoGaiGar appearances haven’t included FINAL. But in W, by the end of the game the gang really is ALL here.

And the whole REASON W was able to do all this?

Well, because it happens to have just about the SMALLEST mecha-series cast list of any SRW game made in the last twenty-five years.

When you get down to it, Super Robot Wars W really only has NINE mecha-series’ in it. Technically ten, but Getter Robo Go is literally just the Shin Getter and pilots post-series who are effectively made part of the Mazinkaiser cast.

So if Super Robot Wars Y ends up having just nine, ten or eleven shows in its cast, I think that could likely end up being a GOOD thing. Because it most likely means that the production team will have been able to do so much MORE with those shows in terms of story, characters and playable mechs.

Scotland Loves Anime 2024 thoughts:

Promare - It's alright, mostly just absurdly over the top on purpose and a fairly standard exploitation metaphor and way too many characters who don't serve much of a purpose. Pretty gay, I guess? 6/10

Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro - Somehow I'd never seen any of these, was a lot of fun in terms of humours and animation, and improved by seeing with an audience too. 8/10

Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture (all 4 parts) - Eh. First half had me cautiously optimistic, hooked, had never seen the anime but it was some compelling melodrama. And then the second half paid it all off way too quickly and in really boring ways. 5/10

The Birth of Kitato: The Mystery of GeGeGe - Again I've never interacted with the source material this is a prequel to but it was a pretty solid horror story and honestly the end cap where they tie it in with the characters from the original who were tonally way sillier was the only bit that threw me off. Echos of Umineko in there, but a little more direct? Was not expecting it to be so gorey! 7/10

Suzume - Really loved this. My small brain saw the boat perched on the house near the beginning and thought "damn, was that inspired by the 2011 tsunami" - no, genius, the whole film is an exploration of the damn tsunami and its impact on the survivors. Loved the symbolism in this. 8/10

The Scent of Love - Just a music video but pretty pleasant and was interesting to hear from the director about it + her experience on Suzume afterwards. Not a huge amount to say. 6/10

A Few Moments of Cheers - Didn't really hit with me, it felt semi-autobiographical but the films own point about the protagonist being naiive seemed, unfortunately, to apply to the film itself. Recorded Q&A from Popriq afterwards was excellent though, the interviewer was too old to really "get it" but some of the stuff he spoke about his process really resonated. More than the film, which was about art resonating with people? Wild! 6/10

KuruYukaba - Unfortunately the world's tallest man was sat in front of me for this one. There was a short by the same director (set in the same world I think) before it but it was already fairly dreamlike and the man's head was fully obscuring the very low subtitles so I didn't really follow that. The film itself was some very interesting worldbuilding and animation but too short to really do anything with it in the end. What felt like the mid-point of the film was about 10 minutes from the end. 6/10.

The Colors Within - Girl with synesthesia starts a band with a girl she finds beautiful at catholic school. Incredibly sweet! Loved the characters here, and it was also such an autistic romance story, but then it's also about catholic school so they never explicitly get into a relationship. Let them kiss. Still. 9/10.

Look Back - Oh this seems like a fun story of childhood rivalry... Oh now it's a romance this is such a beautiful story! (Emotionally devastating). Go and watch this immediately please. 10/10

Sand Land - Basically Mad Max: Fury Road as told by the writer of Dragon Ball Z. Good fun, humorous, power-up fights in the desert as you'd expect. Liked it but didn't really compare tonally to the previous two! 7/10

Totto-Chan: The Little Girl At The Window - You know those heart wrenching historical dramas about small children experiencing the outbreak of war? Yeah it's one of those, obviously. Also broke my heart with the addition of knowing I was crying for (fictionalised versions of) real people who actually died what with it being based on an autobiography. 9/10

Kuramerukagari - Somehow the other world's tallest man sat in front of me for this other film in the same world, KuruYukaba, so this was also hard to follow except had even more factional "intrigue" going on. Many of the same comments as before, it seems like a really interesting world but that maybe the director is more interested in worldbuilding and cool designs than a compelling story, which I can respect. Did tie in to a flash animation he made 20 years ago (Usigaeru) which was fun! 6/10

Ghost Cat Anzu - Strong first half, I liked the cat who grew to become a middle aged man-cat-spirit, that was a fun concept. Without spoiling anything because I think that made it worse for me, the second half felt a bit hurried and unmotivated, including the ending. 6/10

Trapezium - A pretty strong drama about teenage girls experiencing the stresses of idol culture at the behest of an impressively manipulative band leader, but then is ultimately more of a gentle bonk on the head because ultimately it's still trying to be a wholesome film about idols. 7/10

So top three were probably Look Back, Totto-chan and The Colors Within, in that order. That's a lot of anime in one week.

Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture Episode 1 thoughts

Okay so like, although I wasn't big on Akito the Exiled or the creative choices made with the compilation films, I was actually really looking forwards to this one. Unlike most people, I genuinely don't mind them doing more with Code Geass. Like we have the og anime just there, its out and people can watch it (except they cant because r2 is jailed on crunchyroll auughhhhh). They even made it clear that the new Code Geass stuff from Akito onwards are in their own continuity. Genuinely I don't mind them just expanding more on their already established concepts, though I do have a preference for when they do newer things with them. So like, yeah. Roze of the Recapture is my favorite thing to come from this series in a good while.

So for those who don't know, Roze of the Recapture is a sequel not to the original series, but instead the compilation films that recapped the original series with minor changes to the events that took place in there. It also follows up on the corresponding movie that conveyed what happened afterwards, but basically all you need to know is that after Resurrection, we have a 5 year timeskip. There is a new cast of characters who so far don't tread over where the original cast stood, however they do pay homage and parallel some of the characters from the original series. Honestly, I think this is the only part that has me worried, as I'd love to see them play around more with new concepts. However I feel like after the end of the first episode, those concerns are pretty much quelled.

Okay so I'm not gonna skirt around the spoilers any further beyond this point.

Okay. I want to talk about that fucking twist??? Because like??????????? I did not fucking see that one coming but its such a fucking great way differentiate your protagonist from just being lelouch again while also playing with parallels. We effectively have somebody who's a figure of importance who is thought to be dead, however lives on to take revenge on Britannia as they have wronged this person. Key difference is that our character kinda strays away from this idea. I know a lot of people here are referring to Roze/Sakuya as our first female protag for a code geass anime and I'm sure thats probably what they're going for. However my brain just sees Sakuya being legally declared dead and then proceeding to taking the identity of not an entirely different girl, but rather this whimsical boy twink named Roze. Idk, kinda transmasc swag but also I absolutely love how we've all been played for fools prior to release. Like all the marketing had led us to believe this was going to be a story about two brothers doing shit but WOW did they have everybody fooled (including me). A shame that the trailers for the later movies kinda spoil this twist but I will fight to keep this a secret as much as possible from my friends until I get them to watch this.

Roze as a whole is a lot of fun as a character, big twist aside. I love how he feels a lot more like a trickster compared to Lelouch. Even though Lelouch had a bit of emphasis on him playing with people (the orange incident comes to mind), Roze steps that up with his geass. I'm so glad that its not just Lelouch's geass again. They do something fun with it, like conceptually after thinking about it for a while its actually crueler than Lelouch's geass. Theoretically Roze could force you into doing something without brainwashing you, you could do those things while being entirely conscious. If you say no? Then whatever you're told to do otherwise happens no matter what. I think thats just insane, it really opens the doors for so many things to be done with it in the same way that we saw Lelouch's geass being used to torment Suzaku.

Anyways I think its really funny how people are realizing this one has Ichiro Okouchi coming back to write for it not through the writing returning to its unsubtle "no shits given" attitude from the original series, but by them having yet another chess game that failed to understand the rules of chess. Its a tradition at this point.
