Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
{IF IT SEEMS THAT I "STOLE" YOUR WORK, I DIDN'T} TL;DR (bottom) I was recommended Code Geass by a friend of mine and they warned me that it contains a bit of nudity. Truth be told, I went in head first because of that but little did I knew that there was more to it... Story: 9 The story is your regular ol' payback story but amplified. Lelouch wanted revenge at first but found a better motive; to create a world which is softer and more peaceful by the time Nunnally opens her eyes. The plot twists were really well done and made the anime much moredramatic by involving side characters who we thought would become irrelevant and forgotten afterwards but were proved wrong. Furthermore, this was an original so an adaptation OF the manga was out of the question. How Jeremiah got easily dismissed was kind of stupid though.

For an anime that started in 2006, DAMN! The animation crew did a great job! I would've given it a 9 but I didn't like how they made their characters that much. Still the animations and Knightmare effects were awesome
Sound: 10
I liked all the openings, endings and even the OSTs regardless of how much some of them were hated, ESPECIALLY Kaidoku Funou. I didn't really care if it suits the anime or not, just how good it was. The BGM gave a more intense touch to the battles which were well done too
Character: 9
Lelouch - Your typical oujidere but a bit more filled with pride and mentally fragile. As an oujidere, he is obviously not athletic. I also loved how he kept calm most of the time during fights.
Suzaku - The very definition of Brawns over Brains. I think ,to some extent, he was used as a plot device. Maybe thta's why the studio decided to make him irrational. The perfect example would be when Zero rescued him and offered him to join them but he refused and said that Britannia can be changed from within. Britannia is a reign that strongly hates the Japanese which also controls 33% of the world.
See what I mean?
Enjoyment: 9
With every point required for this sect already mentioned above, what all do I need to explain anyway? I liked how they included little hampers of comedy that could make a big difference if otherwise
Overall: 9
Code Geass was an amazing watch and nothing makes me regret watching it even in the slightest. I recommend it to anyone who loves revenge-plot stories ^_^
TL;DR - Has tits, is good watch, not cliched, has tits
