Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Story: 10, the concept isn't really unique but boy, is it executed damn near, if not perfectly, the story doesn't make much sense starting off, but starts to make more sense after a little while, there are lots of twists and turns, dark moments, it will make you cry, laugh, and smile, you will be shocked and distraught, it deals with sensitive topics such as racism and poverty, overall the story had me on my toes the entire time I watched the anime and overall the story is near perfect and probably where this series shines at the most Animation and art: 7, the art andanimation certainly isn't bad, but it is outdated, it may have been a lot better for people who watched it back when it released but I don't find it all that amazing, but overall it is still pretty good

Sound: 8, the first and second openings are awesome, the, 3rd opening is pretty bad though, the endings are pretty good as well, and the ost sets the tone of each scene and suits the anime very well, my only problem is the dub, I rarely ever watch an anime in sub but I had to with this one, the dub was just too bad, but overall the sounds suit the anime very well and are overall great

Characters: 10, I always wondered why lelouch was the #1 rated character on the website, then I watched code geass and I saw what makes him special, he is extremely smart and constantly has to make significant tough decisions and balance out his two lives, he can be bossy and cocky but he has a special someone he fights for, almost all of the side characters are important to the story in someway and characters such as suzaku and euphymia are done perfectly

Enjoyment: 10, I managed to watch 21 episodes in 2 days, no other anime will keep you captivated like this one

Overall: 10, I can confidently say this is a masterpiece and I highly recommend it, if you like fullmetal alchemist, magi and/or eureka seven then you will surely love this one
