Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

This is an outstanding anime. Let's break it down by section: Story - the story is amazing. It has great strategy, it has mystery and suspense, and it has lighthearted moments too. The plot makes a lot of sense, character decisions make sense, and it's a very exciting plot. There are some parts that are just incredible. Art - quite good, although unfortunately I watched a low quality encode of it. For season 2 I'll definitely be watching a higher quality encode. Sound - very very good. The music is great, the sound effects are great, and the voice acting is great. Although the OPs are allpretty forgettable, but that's fine.

Characters - very well written. All the characters have their own motivations and act on them. They also all face personal dilemmas that affect their personality and actions. Characters are consistent. I think it's the characters that really make this show a masterpiece to me.

Enjoyment - I really enjoyed this. Lelouch is a really interesting character to watch. He's extremely strategic, but not to an unrealistic degree. He's cunning, but still principled. The action scenes in this show are awesome. The plot twists are great. Often times I felt shock at what happened, but I also often felt happy or excited about the events of the show. So yeah, 10/10.

Overall - easy 10. A masterpiece. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the ending. It's just ok. However, it's certainly not bad. I just don't think it was a good place to end the season. Fortunately there's a season 2. I'm very excited to watch it!
