Viewing Blog 2

          All in all I think I watched about the semester's worth of viewing hours in one viewing blog post but that's fine because I'm and anime junkie and plus the incorporation of movies we have to watch in class also helps as well.
Code Geass              This anime is amazing. I watched about 4 hours' worth of this anime (which is approximately 9 episodes). This story is about a kingdom named Britannia took over the country of Japan and left it in shambles. Japan is now called Area 11 and the citizens of Japan lost their right to self-govern and the people are called Elevens. In order to keep power of Area 11, Britannia enforces their rules through its deployment of new mobile robotic humanoid armor vehicles that are super destructive and large called Knightmares. This kid named Lelouch is super smart and an exiled Imperial Prince of Britannia posing as a student. He ends mingling in the middle of this war and conflict between Area 11 and Britannia. When Lelouch meets this girl named C.C., he gains his geass (the power of the King) and has the authority to have complete dominance of any person he choose. He then is inspired that in order to defeat Britannia, it as to be defeated from within. These few episodes that I saw was just showing the background information, character development for Lelouch and explains how he got his powers. It hasn't revealed what his powers are specifically but only certain aspects of his powers. That he could only use it once on the same person and etc. The story has yet to explain who C.C. is and how she got where she is but I'm pretty sure they'll explain that later. So far, Lelouch is leading a rebellion group to fight against the Britannian army under the alias Zero.
      This story works perfectly into the science-fiction because it entails the aspect of war and conflict, and robots for human advantage. It's a great story and I can't wait to watch more of it.The Hobbit: The Fellowship of the RingSince everyone watched the Hobbit as a required movie in class, I will spare the plot summary and just immediately start on my rant. I thought was a fantasy, so why did this movie scare the socks off of me? The Shadow Kings  scared me so much  and I practically hated seeing when they come up because they give me so much anxiety. There was this one part when Frodo was talking to his successor (I can't remember his name) and for a second his face flashed into a monster. I couldn't take this movie. I guess I'm just a scary cat but someone should have told me that this wasn't a movie to watch alone.
