Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Code Geass is easily my favorite anime (that goes for Code Geass R2). It combines the brilliance of Death Note with the mecha action in Gundum. Its basically about a boy, Lelouch, who obtains a sacred power to manipulate people, the Geass. He plans to take over the Britannian Empire. The characters are very interesting. For example, CC. The pizza loving green haired heroine of Code Geass. Her past is shrouded in darkness. Her love for pizza adds a lot of humor. CC is easily a fan favorite along w/ Kallen Stadtfeld, the 2nd heroine. Shes tough and is Lelouch's main love interest. Another character ofinterest is Suzaku. Suzaku is deeply hated by many for getting in Lelouch's way. He's a japanese boy but joined Britannia to change it from the inside. My fav characters are CC and Kallen.

Code Geass is best watched when all the episodes are released (and they are) due to cliffhangers. Make sure you have nothing to do because from episode 1-25 you'll be hooked.

As I said, there is mecha combat. Combat takes place in Knightmare frames. Many people believe the mecha genre is over used. Luckily, Code Geass manages to easily balance out mech fights and the stories that happen before each fight.

Code Geass nvr lets me down. The balance of story, combat, and character development.

People say Death Note and Code Geass are similar, and they're right. I personally believe Code Geass is dominent. If you liked Death Note, you should like Code Geass.

Code Geass FTW!!!
