Code Geass: Bloodstained Euphie

OK, right, yes, that episode where the fairly significant turn from the previous episode is amplified a lot. Many feelings.

Spoilers (this may still be interesting if you haven't watched the show at all, but probably don't read if you're mid-way through the first season)

Code Geass: more assorted thoughts (roughly ep 18/19, the island eps)

Me: I love how relaxed Lloyd is about caring about what anyone thinks

I remember the Game of Thrones tv show adjusting a lot of things to bring main characters coincidentally together EVEN MORE than the book which was great for characters (which was one of the strengths) but completely screwed up a lot of plot to do so; ideally you can have both.
