Quite frankly, Code Geass may very well be (in my opinion) the greatest anime to date. It's exceptional storytelling, theme-plot structure, voice acting, action, art style, and... robots, always for good measure. The main protagonist, Lelouch, vascillates between the great hero and anti-heroQuite frankly, Code Geass may very well be (in my opinion) the greatest anime to date. It's exceptional storytelling, theme-plot structure, voice acting, action, art style, and... robots, always for good measure. The main protagonist, Lelouch, vascillates between the great hero and anti-hero roles with ease (particularly in R2), playing on both Western and Eastern structure of a cartoon hero. The mechs, Knightmare Frames, are essentially below-atmosphere Gundams minus the incredible agility - so if the robots are your thing, you might not lose TOO much interest - though they're design, specifically the more advanced models, are much better. The power of Geass is the most enticing aspect of the fictional aspects, the highlight of the story aside from Lelouch's journey. I'd definitely recommend.… Expand

Okay, this is simply one of the best anime, if not the best anime of all time. I highly recommend this to everyone, even non-anime watchers.

Btw, ALL HAIL LELOUCH!

One of the Best anime i've seen. The main character is great (i love those anime where there's a really smart character with power to make change, such as in Death note).
Everything that happens is unexpected, and you will like to watch this until you finish it

The plot is excellent, very massive and breathtaking throughout all the chapters, with a full-size setting involving all types of characters and conflicts. It has a very intriguing trama designed to keep you interested and exited with jaw-dropping moments that give the story radical twists. The main storyline about the futuristic warfare going on is totally magnificent, complemented by the more romantic facet with the affection seen among the characters. These characters are very well thought, with a vast variety of different traits among them to give a wide view from all their perspectives of the chain of events that takes place. One of the principal and most attractive things of this production is its dynamic; the action combined with the thinking alongside the unexpected situations create an irresistible tension to the audience. This series is deeply sentimental and takes all of your emotions to the edge, creating character-viewer bonds that will not break. The excitement will drag you to watching this anime non-stop until you get to the end, with amazing surprises all the way.… Expand

Absolutely fantastic series. Great writing, great characters. Fantastic twists. Beautiful animation. Great dubbing. While it isn't as clever as Death Note, it does deliver more action and that creates a perfect balance. If I have one gripe it is that I felt that some of the side charactersAbsolutely fantastic series. Great writing, great characters. Fantastic twists. Beautiful animation. Great dubbing. While it isn't as clever as Death Note, it does deliver more action and that creates a perfect balance. If I have one gripe it is that I felt that some of the side characters weren't given enough attention, but they are given enough for this to be only a very minor point.

Overall:
This has got to be my favorite anime series to date. A must watch to any anime fan.… Expand

Uno de los mejores anime del nuevo milenio, en un contexto idéntico al V de Vendetta conminado con el recurso de los robota gigantes tripulados. La dinámica de la historia, con personajes estilizados, se mantiene en cada capítulo y la temporada cierra con un final que no provoca indiferencia.
