Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

I'm going to start this by saying that I came into this show with a handful of experience with the manga. When I first saw it, I thought that it was going to be a horrible adaptation but I'm glad that I decided to continue with what is now my favourite anime series. Also on a side note, I am a big Jun Fukuyama fanboy, and love everything I have seen him in. Getting into the grit of things: Story: Code Geass tells an incredible story, complete with wonderful and in-depth world-building that is not pure exposition. It's the type of story where if you arethinking really intricately and analytically as you watch, you can begin to predict Lelouch's next move, only to be shown that it was actually MUCH more intricate and thought out, and just damn cooler than what you could have hoped for. This delivers a perfect mixture of laughs, tears and moments of awesomeness, deserving a perfect score. 10/10.

Art: Although this anime is of an older variety (in comparison to a lot of the popular ones now), and it was not as well animated in some aspects as shows from the same time period, such as Death Note or in some aspects Kuroshitsuji, but it has definitely aged well, and never lapses in quality like some other anime with better animations. 9/10.

Sound: The OST is incredible in this, being one of the few series where I bothered to buy the full OST, but I do have a few grievances with the second OP and ED. Giving it a 9/10 on that.

Character: These characters are VERY in-depth as are their interactions, backstory is revealed systematically between characters and it does not go overboard on either exposition or flashbacks (like other anime), none of it feels forced, and some of these scenes contain some of the best voice acting I have heard. Along with the great choices in cast, even without counting Lelouch's, we have some of the best and most diverse, in my opinion, VA's we could have gotten, 10/10.

Enjoyment: This show was a rollercoaster to watch, and I enjoyed every second of it, twists and turns, laughing or crying, Lelouch or Suzaku. I have rewatched this anime, and it does not seem to ever get old, 10/10.

Overall: As an overall score, I don't think I can go below 10/10. It is in my eyes, one of the most perfect anime series I have ever seen and I do not think that there are many things I can say about it that are bad. There are a few plot holes, but those are usually minor and only made obvious when you search in detail. I encourage anyone that was a fan of Death Note, or things in a similar vein, anyone who likes strategy or mecha to watch this. I do not usually like mechas, but this is an exception, 10/10 overall score.
