Jason, blogging on possible endings for Code Geass:
Well, considering that we've been following the Mahabharata script so far, YES, actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it all really did end with everybody dead, except for two or three incidental supporting characters. And what a fittingly awful-but-hilarious ending that would be.
(52 episodes? Ha! Try slogging through a million gajillion Sanskrit slokas only to find that the whole thing ends with only the puppy, the leper, that other teacher that everybody forgot to care about, and the zombie fetus surviving.)
Seriously, though. Code Geass had the Sauptikaparvan and the Mausalaparvan last week, and there are still seven episodes left. The show has only one direction left to go: Increasingly lolarious character deaths, and lots of them.
P.S. - 2chan has started referring to Lelouch/Suzaku as "Lulukuru." Which, in turn, Newtype magazine recently romanized as "Rurukuru." I know that the English-speaking world surely must have coined some worse pairing name-smushes, but off the top of my head I can't think of any. I really can't.

Yes. This.
...everyone dies except Milly and Rivalz. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth after typing that– we watched 52 episodes to end up there?

Princess Tutu (essentially "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" as a children's show)
Yes. This.
