Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Code Geass introduced me to anime and became an unreachable benchmark for future shows. Great anime makes you feel, think, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It makes you binge watch the entire show in a 24 hour period. Code Geass did all of those things. The story/plot of the show is the main reason I keep it at #1. It never wavers and has an amazing ending. Every episode adds to the suspense and it constantly drops "oh shit!" moments. The show is centered around a group of friends at school. It dives into their motivations and fears to pit their ideas offreedom and morality against the others. Throughout all the drama and suspense is sprinkled comedy and sadness. Includes good characters and fun dialogue.
