All Hail Britannia!!! – Nakagawa Kotaro

我々の祖国は真実と希望
Truth and hope in our Fatherland!
そして全ての敵に死を！
And death to every foe!
戦士たちよ休まず進め
Our soldiers shall not pause to rest
誓いを立て忠誠を捧げよう
We vow our loyalty

伝統は我々と共にある
Old traditions they will abide
立ち上がれ若き英雄たちよ
Arise young heroes!
我々の歴史は気高い偉業を奮起させ
Our past inspires noble deeds
オール・ハイル・ブリタニア！
All Hail Britannia!

不滅ののろしが道を照らす
Immortal beacon shows the way
いざ進まん、栄光の道へ
Step forth, seek glory!
空高く剣を掲げ
Hoist your swords high into the clouds
万歳！ブリタニア！
Hail Britannia!

皇帝殿下はこの世界のいしずえ
Our Emperor stands astride this world
かなわぬ敵はなく
He’ll vanquish every foe!
真実と正義の光は眩く煌めく
His truth and justice shine so bright
輝かしい栄光に喝采を！
All hail his brilliant light!

(皇帝殿下は)決して滅することはない
Never will he be overthrown
それは山であり海なのだから
Like mountains and sea
彼の血統は不滅で純粋
His bloodline immortal and pure
オール・ハイル・ブリタニア！(万歳！ブリタニア)
All Hail Britannia!

我らが進むべきは彼の英知
So let his wisdom guide our way
いざ進まん、栄光の道へ
Go forth and seek glory
空高く剣を掲げ
Hoist your swords high into the clouds
万歳！ブリタニア！
Hail Britannia!

This is probably the last Code Geass song I’m going to share. For some reason, I like this song. It sounds like… some sort of opera thing to me. This song was pretty much played whenever Charles appeared in front of his army and also when the Emperor of Britannia (including Lelouch) overwhelmed everyone with his… Britannia forces.

I’m not sure if anyone knows, but I’ve finished both Code Geass 1 and 2 (but not blogged… though, someone can join with me and do it) and haven’t given it a review. So here’s my thoughts on Code Geass:

Season 1 rating: 10/10
Season 2 rating: 9/10 (Leaving it a 10 in my anime list)
Season 1 + Season 2 combined ratings: 9.5/10

The first season was always full of surprises and same goes for the second. It has an average amount of Mecha battles, which I don’t really like (Mecha stuff isn’t really my thing). What I did like about it was that it kind of reminded me of Death Note; Lelouch was “Kira” in the beginning but became “L” in the end. Both Season 1 and Season 2 had endings which I didn’t like, but season 1’s ending made more sense and pretty much brought into a conclusion of “Lelouch is dead” to me. Season 2, on the other hand, ended really quickly with innuendos that Lelouch is alive, similar to that of Elfen Lied.

Season one to probably more than half of Season two showed the cruel side of Lelouch – the “Kira” side of him. Strangely enough that “Kira” existence was replaced with “L”’s existence, but the face of Kira was fully worn; Lelouch became an infamous being who scared the shite out of anyone who threatened him. Seriously, I thought Lelouch would have back stabbed Suzaku in the end as he’s a guy who couldn’t really be trusted. Maybe the World of C really did change his view in life. One thing I’m still wondering is if Charles and Marianne is still in existence (as spirits or not).
