Wow, this topic.. just died...
Anyway, have any of you guys actually followed the Manga for the original series? Its pretty [tornado fang]ing strange, for example:
-The whole of Episode 19 is played out, but with Lelouch, Kallen, and Suzaku at a school trip because of Lloyd, instead of being blasted there.
-Lelouch is shot by Suzaku at the Government Building instead of Kamina Island, Suzaku didn't know Kallen was there right away.
-The Black Knights Debut and the Hotel Hijacking happen much later in the story.
-Lelouch has full knowledge of being Zero, and having a little sister, and is well aware Rolo isn't his brother after Charles messes with his memories. The only memories he loses are his memories of C.C. and Geass.
-Villetta has a small role, appearing suddenly in the first R2 chapter like she had been there the whole time, and is easily geassed into submission.
-Kallen doesn't appear in a Bunny Suit, but rather in a cafe, Rollerskating. She doesn't talk to Lelouch about his feelings for her until the school festival, where she is dressed as a gypsy, and later in the green otter (Taking Sayoko's Role as his double using a voice synthesizer.) Whereas Sayoko takes Kallen's role as being revealed as a Black Knight, Kallen is thought to have gone back to Britannia at school.
-Xing-ke presumably gets Geass-ed by Lelouch and kills the High Eunuchs no Questions asked, as such, Kallen is prevented from getting captured.
-Lelouch doesn't reappear as Zero until during the Chinese Federation Arc.
