Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Where to even begin this review? First, let me say that I'm usually anti-mainstream. I don't usually watch anime that has a great following in America [as I think that defeats the purpose] in any case, this is one of the notable exceptions. I didn't really know how popular this anime was before I began watching it. Now, I'm glad to say that all the hype that goes around it is completely warranted. It is, without a doubt, one of the best anime out there as far as plot goes. The entire production is well done from beginning to end, starting strongly, not lagging in themiddle, and ending splendidly. Each and every detail is thought out. You even get a few laughs, although the series on the whole was quite dark.
At one point, I even stopped watching it because I was that ticked at Lelouch. [laughs]
In short, every anime lover should definitely watch this one. A note to the wise though, this isn't a good start up for beginners and not recommended for children. Actually, I think no one under fifteen should watch this anime.
Five stars plus!
