Code Geass; Something I Didn't Realize Until Now

So I did finish Geass last night (with a 101F fever even), but somehow it doesn't have that feeling of finality that most good (sad) Anime have. Maybe it was the not-sお-depressing-as-it-seemed ending, or maybe it's because...

MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER DIDN'T DIE!!!!1!11!!!..1!

I couldn't believe it; this NEVER happens. Somehow, in my days of watching anime and movies and reading books and manga, I have picked up a rather depressing habit of choosing the character fated to die as the center of my attention. I could make a very long list, but I'll include my favouritest-favourites;



Movies, books(Harry Potter books>Movies x sideways-eight), anime, light novels...I've come to terms with this. But I was sure プリン伯爵 (Pudding Earl) was going to die! But he's alive! ahhh now I don't know what to expect any more! The sky is falling, help!

As you can probably tell, when the characters in a series are done very well, they come alive for me like they do for the author. They become real; just like the author intended. That's why I don't feel like a crazy-OCD-otaku when I say;

LONG LIVE THE PURIN HAKUSHAKU!



I think I'll watch this a few more times before officially moving out of Geass-Mode...
