Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Now I came into Code Geass a little disappointed. I was not a mechas fan and I felt the first 6 episodes made the show appear to be a carbon copy of Death Note. I continued watching the series however and it is now my favorite. At its premiss it is similar to Death note however it has a much more intricate and enjoyable story filled with alive, complex characters that really help make the story so compelling. It takes a story of war and terrorism and nicely intertwines it with a bit of romance, high school life, and comedy. Its an anime that willtake you one a crazy ride. It has more plot turns and strategic planing then death note. The mechas in this anime may initially turn people off but I suggest you watch it any way. The mechas take a back seat to the story, and the fights are not about who has the strongest robot, but instead are multi mecha battles that are won base on strategy, tactics, and planing.

Code Geass nicely incorporates many themes into its story and characters, so no matter what type of anime you prefer i suggest you try code geass.
