The biggest problem with the second season is it aired 6 months after the first had ended, so the feel of the show is different due to the passage of time. The show starts back up about 6 months later and even though we did not see what happened, time continued to pass in the Code Geass universe, so it throws you off the first time you watch it. It takes a few episodes to get used to it and for things to be explained. When they do though, my god it is freaking incredible. Everything Ledouch does has a purpose to it and it is shown in the final episode.

Ah, I always thought that, since it was split into two shows (as opposed to Code Geass being 50 episodes long) that R2 was more of a sequel series that came a bit later on and worked somewhat independently of the first (while obviously still being connected)

Anyways, I just finished episode 14. Wasn't really a fan of that episode, but the series has been great so far.

It is becoming a habit for shows to split their series between two seasons now. Code Geass aired after Gundam 00 finished, then Gundam 00's second season replaced that which was replaced by R2. Both series were planned to be 50 episodes, but instead of having to rush production on them, they split the series into two seasons spread over the course of 2 years between the two series.

Seems like Space Dandy is doing that too, but why not just have it be a two-season show like US shows do? Season one airs about 24 episodes, then they spend a year making more episodes and air them in the fall again. I guess the Japanese could find our system of doing that ^ weird, though.

Yeah, and Fairy Tale just came back after like a year off. In fact, I hope this shows Japan that it is okay to take breaks during manga based series when they run out of material instead of giving us hundreds of episodes of filler to the point that they have to change the name of the show to let the audience know they are done with the filler.
