Olympics ending + Lelouche R2 ep.20
Today is the last day of the Olympics in Beijing after 16days of competition, I didn’t catch the whole ending ceremony. I only have seen the speech part and the London bus and watched a songs or two, That was it. From what I’ve seen the ending is just awful, compared to the opening ceremony. It’s like paying almost zero effort in it. Just plain. Dull. Boring.
There were endless singing in Chinese but none English songs while half of the crowd was foreigners. Maybe they all speak Chinese? As for the London bus, it’s like a transformer. With Leona Louis as phantom who just rose from her death. Her first sounds only make her presence as a ghost more realistic. Why they pick Leona anyways? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?! And Beckham? What a cliché!
Anyway, the Goldies!
- 51 for China (21 Silver, 28 Bronze = 100)
- 36 for USA (38 Silver, 36 Bronze = 110)
- 23 for Russia (21 Silver, 28 Bronze = 72)
US may got the quantity but it’s the quality that counts. I must say that Phelps, need I say more? He was just amazing. Also the guy from Jamaica who broke world record on 100m and 200m running. First one is just like a fish in the sea and the second one.. erm… horse on the land?
The 2nd part of this entry is totally unrelated to above. I just watched ep 20 of Lelouche R2, I was like huh? The history gets more complicated each episode. When I first saw Lelouche’s design, I thought omg, it’s just a copy of Kamui (Shirou from X by CLAMP). CLAMP’s character designs weren’t too original but the story is kinda okay. C.C apparently got her memories but and teamed up with Anya (huh?) and says Anya is Lelouche’s mom? (huh? x2). Suzaku realized killing his dad isn’t the solution to end the war, what he did was dumb (duh!). Schneizel wants to kill Charles to become a king himself (good for you! No, really). And at the end Lelouche locked himself and Charles in this virtual world ’cause his cut the power. Hmmm…
Lelouche R1 was following the storyline and I get the feeling that R2 is jumping from here to there, it’s like they has much to tell but has too little time to do so. Or CLAMP just keeps giving us pieces of the puzzle but never let loose the big picture, everything in it’s time, I guess. They better give it an ending, I don’t want open endings… X… so sad… no ending… I’m still waiting CLAMP… please… give me something… anything is better than nothing… T_T;;;
Also I’m watching Wagaya no Oinari-sama, I’m not going to spoiler anything. It’s a funny, light anime. Watch it when you’re bored or something. Big boobs appear too. Interested? I know you would be ^_^.
