Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Hands Down one of the best anime of all time. It successfully takes one of the most overused plot structures, the rebellion story, and executes it almost perfectly. Two main characters on opposing sides and almost equal screentime allows for excellent storytelling, and couple that with the fact that the two know each other allows for some shocking revelations for the characters. The plot twists are amazing and still get me after watching the series three times. At no point does the story feel rushed or out-of-nowhere. There are almost no important characters that aren't fleshed out. None of the supernatural abilities feel overpowered orunderpowered, and when multiple are involved it becomes a battle of wit. Speaking of wit, a huge focus of this anime is the strategy and tactics used by each opposing side, making the outcome of each battle progressively harder to predict. 10/10
