Context Trivia / CodeMENT

Go To

1* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: As it happens, there ''are'' actually various stores called "[[https://i.imgur.com/41VevKi.png Soup]]" that sells clothes.
2* ColbertBump: The number of viewers jumped by quite a bit after [[Creator/TeamFourStar Takahata101]] and Creator/LittleKuriboh (separately) recommended it. They also jumped quite a lot after people started making animations of the "I'm at soup" bit.
3** On the other hand, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2n9W6g1eEU YouTube videos]] of any music used in a ''Code MENT'' episode tend to see a spike in traffic after the episode is released, with many commentators quoting lines from the series.
4* CreatorBreakdown: The description of Episode 17 heavily implies that [=PurpleEyes=] put the series on a hiatus because of real-life trouble, including the loss of his sister and her soon-to-be-born child at the same time, and he didn't have the energy in him to be funny.
5* DeletedScene: The [=AnimeNEXT=] 2011 "The Abridged Series" Panel version of Episode 12 had a different take for the scene where Suzaku pours the water bottle on his head (that was contaminated with urine). In the episode proper, after Lloyd warns Suzaku, Suzaku yells "don't tell me what to do!" before pouring it on his head. In the Panel version, Suzaku and Lloyd just stare at each other for an extended period of time... before Suzaku wordlessly pours it on his head.
6* InspirationForTheWork: [[https://www.insider.com/im-at-soup-store-meme-code-ment-geass-purpleeyeswtf-2020-5 In an interview with Insider]], [=PurpleEyes=] divulged that the inspiration for the now-famous "I'm at Soup" scene was born out of a phone conversation with a friend he hadn't seen in a while.
7* ScheduleSlip: Mainly due to being put on SeriesHiatus, but the gap between Episodes 16 and 17 of ''Code MENT'' was nearly 9 years.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: If [=PurpleEyes=] had continued abridging, he's claimed some time ago that Episode 19 of this series would've been where everything he was trying to accomplish would've been made clear. Though with his return to the scene, it is now likely to pass.
9* WordOfGod: [=PurpleEyes=] makes it known that C.C. is intentionally unnamed in the series, to the point where he implicitly insists that the green-haired witch's name is not C.C. here.
