Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Code Geass is truely a one of kind masterpiece. With it's dramatic plot and amazing visuals, I fell in love with the story and the characters at the first episode. Lelouch has to be one of the most unique main characters I have met in my career of watching anime. Many people say that he resembles Light Yagami from Death Note, and I have to agree in a sense. They are both very charismatic and intelligent. Also, I find that they both have very dark characteristics that aren't associated with your everyday hero. Lelouch has become one of my favourite and most respected fictional characters.The art in Code Geass is astounding. CLAMP is a wonderful mangaka group and did a great job with the character designing. The concept of the Knightmare Frames were similar to Gundams, yet had some noticeably different aspects.

Music is a very important part of an anime that can make or break it in an instant. After listening to the original soundtrack of the show, I was shocked. I hadn't really noticed how the background music played in so perfectly with the many different scenes and lines of dialogue.

That brings me to my next point. With all it's dramatic twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole series. The story plot surrounding Lelouch and his revenge held both action and tragedy packed acts. At most points in the story, I could really feel the emotion that the characters were experiencing. During those heart wrenching times, I had to try to stop myself from slamming my hands to the desk or bawling my eyes out.

My rating of this anime may be a little over the top, as well as my review, but I can't help myself. I enjoyed myself immensely while watching this show and I probably will continue to rewatch this for a very long time.
