Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
10/10. Completely stunning, I am speechless. I'm completely stunned at the moment, It's incredible how powerful the series and the ending came about. I was skeptical at first. Being a mecha anime, I thought it would be bland and sugarcoated with lot of special effects to replace its lack of depth and plot, how wrong was I. Story 10/10 The story is VERY well executed, and the twists are completely stunning. You will be at the edge of your seat every second, It was like a roller coaster ride watching Code Geass. As every episode rolled, you saw the picture form slowly and vividly. Art 10/10 Just flawlessin the art department. The animation and character design was very well done.
Sound 9/10
The sound track was very fitting, and the director knew when to use certain themes to get the most out of a scene. Things like is CRUCIAL. Imagine watching an anime without sound or with the wrong sound, would it be the same?
Character 10/10
I feel like I've known most of the characters for years, that's how incredible the character development is. Lot of series emphasize too much on the main character and only those who are important to him, but in Code Geass, I feel like I know every supporting character as well. The author gives us insight on how each character thinks and moves throughout. I feel like I know those people as my friends even though this is just a fictional piece, it's amazing to say the least.
Enjoyment 10/10
Enjoyed it to the utmost.
Overall 10/10
This was a masterpiece, there is no other way of putting it. EVERYTHING came together perfectly. The elements that make a piece of writing shine was flawlessly seen in code geass. From the plot, to the art, to the sound and character developtment combined with nerve wracking suspense, drama and action made this series beautiful.
Conclusion:
Definitely give it a try. Don't be discouraged if it contains elements you are not in favor of, mechas being in my case. This series contains far more depth than you could imagine, don't judge it by the outside. However, I will say that it might not be suitable for young kids as it contains much graphic violence and blood.
