Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Well, what can I say that all the other reviewers havent already about this amazing show... not alot but here goes. This was pitched to me by a friend who said that this was alot like death note (because we both liked that show), but I disagree. While they both are psychological in nature and have equally devious leads, that doesnt mean that they are alike, so what im saying is that those of you who came here expecting a death note clone should look elsewhere. WARNING-MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS Story: The story follows a young britanian lelouch as he tries to bring down the britanian empire(im surewe all know this part by now) by killing off the important leaders, who just happen to be his family. He takes on a false identity and takes control of a band of terrorists and fights highly strategic battles against the empire, his family, and his best friend.

Art: the artwork was friggin fantasic especially in the fight scenes but aside from that theres not alot i can say.

Character: The characters range from bubbly or sullen all the way to cruel and sadistic. I like the stark contrasts in the ideas of justice put forth by lelouch and suzaku as they fight for opposing sides. The characters have deep backstories and you get to know them, which is a luxury that we dont get with very many shows.

Enjoyment: I started watching this one day and before I knew it, I had seen the whole show, and had no idea where all the time had went. The one problem I had is that in the last few episodes I was sitting there wondering "what the hell just hapenned?" and thats how the show ended. This woudve pissed me off beyond belief if it werent for the second season of the show where all of the questions are answered.

In Closing: This show comes together magnificantly and is easy to follow, you will be drawn in and hooked. It is one of the finest shows that Ive seen to date, and I can confidently say that you wont be disapointed by Code Geass.
