Code Geass: Lelouch of The Rebellion

2 words: Freakin' awesome!!

The first time my bro suggested this, chiming in his opinion of its brilliance, i was a bit skeptical. Ahhh, another mecha i thought. Probably some lousy fight scenes and a whole bunch of weird technical jargons. Oh and what the heck, let's throw in a couple of supposedly-futuristic technology, and voila... mecha for you. NOT my preferred cup of tea, unfortunately.

However, for politeness sake, i downloaded the whole series and told my bro i'd watch it when time permits [if ever]. So there it sat, a good 5 months in my external HDD, using up precious memory space. And just when i started having thoughts of deleting the whole space-waster, i got a call from Bro.

"So how was the anime?"

..........Gulp.

Busted!!!!

Hahahaha.. He liked it SO much i'm sure he was kinda hurt that i never got around to watching it. Tons of excuses later and a handful of blackmails and threats from Bro, i finally agreed to actually watch this and not just leave it rotting away.

And ahhhhh, the irony!!!
To think that I'd fall in love with a mecha-themed anime!
But Code Geass is just unexpectedly good. In fact, it's not only good, it's excellent.

I usually rate a good anime by how engaged and entertained i was by it.
Don't ask me about character development, or plot, or the use of CG or whatever. I'm no professional and my judgments are based purely on my level of satisfaction alone.
This, i'd probably give a 9/10.
Yeap, it was THAT good!

I really gotta hand it to my bro, he sure does have excellent taste in anime.
Code Geass is absolutely marvellous.
Definitely well worth the 5GB it took up. =)

A New Beginning.

First posts are always difficult for me.
And this in particular, is especially tough.
[u guessed correct, this is not my first attempt at blogging]

First entries are like first impression, that's what i believe.
I'd like nothing more than to make a lasting good impression on people, and yet i want to be completely and utterly honest.... Hmmm, I know what you're thinking. And the answer is NO, I can't be both myself and impressive at the same time. It just doesn't work that way. At least not in my case.

The reality of life dictates that i am by no means allowed to be totally honest with people in the real world so therefore the only place for me to be ME, in all my glorious imperfections and flaws, is the world i purposely created for myself i.e. the realm of cyberspace.

And thus, this is how i see my blog:
A little corner in space where i can retreat when life seems too much to bear;
A private hideout where i am still connected to the world, and yet i'm not.

This is where i'll be me.
Just Izyan.
Simply Izyan.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
