It’s complicated. I’ve not watched a huge amount yet and need to dl it again, but the British made sure the USA failed iirc using Benjamin Franklin as an asset, then Britannia got invaded by Napoleon, having Britannia needing to relocate to the territories in the Americas.
This guy joined in the middle of a chess game and said in chess it’s best to move your king as soon as possible because “if the king does not lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow.” Hey @sarahz.bsky.social, you’re in your chess era right now. Is this true?
That's not how chess works, no. Except in the late phase when there is not enough force on the board for a king to be hunted successfully — in that case, then the kings can, and must, be attacking units. Anyone tells you otherwise, they're wrong.
I think it's because it's at the end game (?) if you only got pawns and king, the yes, the king should be in the front line to defend the pawns' paths to promote 🤔
my favorite part of Code Geass was that none of the writers knew how chess worked, so if you look at the board in most scenes, it would never make sense in the context of the scene
my apparently controversial opinion of code geass is that it's a dumb person's idea of a smart show... which i stand by but with the caveat that i mean it in the most positive way possible
If you pick up Macross Frontier it has a blonde good guy for a change. Came out the same time. The main character is confused about his gender and considering what a dumbass the creator is it somehow ended up working out, especially in the movies.
Ah your journey begins mmmm just a heads up you know how anime will sometimes be needlessly horny sometimes out of the blue yeah keep that in mind but besides that enjoy the ride particularly season 1
Apparently it’s not actually Britain, but the USA who still existed under British rule until the empire collapsed and they just… kept going
Also Pizza Hut still exists

I need a thread of your reactions to this wild af anime. It's insane but is legit some of the most "peak anime" I've ever seen. It also has an interesting take on politics for a show of this content matter lol
This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I also watched it when I was probably too young for it. Back around 2009/2010 when it was airing on Adult Swim and I was in 7th or 8th grade. I rewatched on Blu-ray a few years ago and I still love it.
All kids go through this phase at some point...only the best of them never grow out of it.
(not saying this kid is the best though...I watched the anime forever ago and remember next to nothing)
Code Geass really sent my spirit flying when that kid was about to get gunned down by those soldiers and he was like "kys" and the soldiers were like "lmao ok". He didn't even know he had powers! He was just gonna say that regardless of the outcome! Wild.

Then Code Geass.
This is the natural next step. I see the LoGH pipeline

The American Revolution failed, but eventually the British artistocracy were forced to retreat to NA due to Napoleon.
