Lelouch Lamperouge and Yagami Light share some characteristics. They both want too change the world at all cost. Not a single death is too much for them. Although there are no Mecha's in Death Note, and no Shinigami's in Code Geass, I am sure that if you liked the one, you will like the other, so jump into the lives of these Anti-Heroes, and see what they will do for their goals!
Both are about someone with a hidden power that is trying to change the world. Someone close to them is one of the main enemies. Something like that.
Both are smart and strategic.
Both have main characters that want change in the world and use various powers and strategy to obtain their goals.
Code Geass is Death Note with CLAMP's animation, and robots.
both series are insane fun it will keap you at edge of your chair thou all episodes main characters are similiar.
Both feature heroes that have access to supernatural power, and they both want to create a new world of justice.
Both have strategist anti-hero protagonists granted with powers to change the world, rivalry, and plot twists.
If your a Code Geass fan you should love Death Note as I feel they are both similar character wise. In both, the main character gets a power to assist them in changing the world for the better in their views from a party whom follows them for the duration of the series. While doing so, they both gain followers who support their ideals. While this happens, a force attempt to fight the main character and discover their true identity.
Both resemble a game of chess as the main character fights to knock out all obsticles in their way to have their ideas reality.
Leuloch and Raito are soo similar. Both are intelligent and have an obescure air... they could be brothers easily... ;)
Psychological, intelligent, smart leads. The leads are anti-heroes while the antagonists are heroic villains (or whatever you call a villain that's acts good). Both leads want to change the world and manipulates other people. The person who gives the power follows the current user. The anime makes you predict what's going to happen, and something unexpected happens (except for VERY few cases). The user also goes insane because of overusing their given power.
They both have the same atmosphere... kinda creepy
Those anime are pretty similar and different at the same time. The main caracters are both very smart and have a incredible dream. They will receive a special power and manipulate people to get what they want. They evolve in two different environnement but both will do everything that is possible to realise their projects.
In both Code Geass and Death Note, an incredibly intelligent teenage boy seeks to change the world with a secret, hidden, absolute power that very few know about. They differ in that Code Geass is much funnier while Death Note is much more serious, and that Lelouch uses his power for good, while Light is generally more selfish, especially towards the end. If you like Death Note, you'll DEFINITELY like Code Geass, but the same is not necessarily true in reverse. I personally prefer Code Geass by a lot, but both are awesome. I watched both series in dubs.
The Main Characters of Death note and code Geass are outmost allmost the same in goals, intentions, and sense of justice
Both animes have a highly intelligent main character who is trying to control humanity, though not for the reasons you might think. They could be described as righteous by one person, and evil by another...both would be right. How you view the main characters morals and relationships makes watching these series an epic experience!
Both anime's are about a guy who wants to change the world. Both are genious and they're thinking about every move, ebery time :)
Just like the second half of Death Note, season 2 of Code Geass has everything finally come together. Lelouch and Kira have been using their power for their ultimate goals, and it all comes together in the end. The finale of Code Geass is mind blowing and you will be left in awe similar to the finale of Death Note.
The main reason why Code Geass and Death Note are compared so often is Light's uncanny resemblance to Geass's Lelouch. Both gain an ability by accident(or by fate if you want to call it that) that can change the world. Both are very intelligent, witted, manipulative, and have a twisted sense of justice that they attempt to justify. The main difference is that Code Geass has mechs and is a bit more colorful while in Death Note, Light is a bit more clever and emotional.(The cleverness factor is up for debate, as many people will argue that Lelouch is more clever than Light) Another important key difference is that while Light is a more overall emotional character, he has almost no emotional attachment whatsoever to any other human.(His father was minimal and ultimately just a pawn in his game) Lelouch, is just as manipulative as Light, but does show a bit more of a charasmatic nature and his unconditional love towards his sister in the beginning of the show illustrates that perfectly.
Another bonus of Code Geass is that it's ending and second season is MUCH better and well done then Death Note's.
Overall, If you like Death Note, then you are almost SURE to enjoy Code Geass. Geass has a bit more humor and action, may not be AS psychological, but it's pretty damn close.
Both have similar characters, psychological duels between characters and a supernatural weapon that changes the evolution of characters.(Geass - Death Note)
Both evolves to the point that the hole world is involved in the main character actions.
Lelouch (Code Geass ) and Light (Death Note) both want to change the world with their special powers. The animes have the same kind of ''chess games'' going on.
Both got the same vision of justice and try to change the world.
Both anime shows are about a young teenage genius with a mysterious power given to them by a supernatural being, which they both aim to change the world with.
In both cases, the protagonists lose their memories at one point, have a beloved sister who gets in danger, goes up against their father.
A notable difference is that Code Geass has giant fighting robots and machines, with strategy through battles and war, while Death Note has detectives and agents, with strategy through deception and guesswork. I'd recommend both though.
Both animes are quite awesome. There are a guy who is very intelligent and thinks carefully about every move which he makes to achieve something. There are supernatural powers and both animes includes death.
The protagonist (Main) characters are students
-Before they were both given powers, they didn't care for the world
-They both to want to make the world a better place even if it means killing others
-They have a somewhat a benefactor that follows them
-They're both weak, incredibly smart and stragetic
-They're both exposed to public with fakes names
Both constantly have the same similar events in the story that happen in both of these animes, Just one anime is mecha and the other is more like modern day life, but are both highly similar.
They both have a highly intellegent main character given a special gift/power that is used to change the world. Both main characters have a huge ambition.
both animes are d fight of brains which makes u glued to ur seat..well in code geass its mecha, and in death note its shinigami(death god)..both are epic series.
They have similar lead characters (Light Yagami, L and Lelouch) who are intelligent. They both involve mindgames between adversaries. They are both excellently well-scripted anime with a mind-boggling element of slow revelation of plot.
The main characters are very similiar, and they both have a great story.
The story of two prodigies who could have led a normal life if they had not stumbled upon powers beyond human expectancy. Light Yagami at one side is dedicated to dominate the whole world while Lelouch Lamperouge strives for world peace in his own ways. They have their own set of rules and ideals which they follow.
Both of them are full of drama, both of the shows are about protecting something (Death note: the main character tries to protect justice and Code Geass: the main character tries to protect his sister) and the most crusial similarity in my opinion is that both of the shows are full of strategy and sometimes mind games. The ending of both shows is similar as well.
it has similar strategy elements and also very good characters, although there is fighting in code geass, which is compltely different to death note
Both have a partners CC and Ryuk
Both wanted to protect the world and changing worlds
Both have diffrent powers Light death notebook Lelouch geass
>Both anime have an insane main character, I mean both Lelouch and Light are badass who want to "control" the world, even tho they aren't villans they both use illegal ways to get to their goal.
>Both Lelouch and Light are geniuses, they are stronger in tactics then in fights and both of them are physically weak.
>Death Note have a more dark atmosphere, Code Geass is more a lightful atmosphere.
>Overall I enjoyed much more Code Geass, it has much more action, the ending is much more satisfying (I mean, I enjoyed DN only till episode 30 if I remember right, last 6-7 episodes are trash).
Light and Lelouch are almost the same. Ending is way better in Code Geass.
they both want to create a utopia..
they have supernatural powers given by a powerful entity..
both have mind games that makes you think..
the protagonist is seen as evil...
The main characters are more or less the same. Genius, handsome, perfect bishounen (though Lelouch is not athletic). They want to create an ideal world after gaining a special power (death note/geass) using a cruel way. They manipulate countless people and fight using their high intelligent. Other's lives doesn't really matter for them.
Differences: Light is more serious, selfish and more prioritizing his live. He doesn't really care about his comrades, even the closest one. Lelouch still care about their comrades. Code Geass still has some jokes and love. Despite not as serious, Code Geass has a really serious, epic ending, doesn't even compared to Death Note. Nevertheless, Death Note ending is also epic.
If you love one, you will love the other
Light is very much like Lelouch, both are geniuses with darker streak, both enjoy viewing people as chess figures in their grand game and both pay a price for it.
-Both series have a young main male protagonist who wants to change the world using extreme methods (despite being on the opposite end of the spectrum)
-Both series explore the theme of freedom
-Both series have a main protagonist who has a special power (Light's being the Death Note while Lelouch's being Geass)
-Both series have protagonists who's methods are questionable and could often be debated if they are right or wrong
-Both series have some crazy plot-twists

The pacing the two series go in and the thought put into the majority of the two are near similar in every aspect.
Both deal with someone with a specific view of the World trying to change it. Both have fantastic elements to it (alchemy in Fullmetal and "magic"/mechas in Code Geass) that adds a certain mood to the series. Both are very dramatics stories with lots of twists, but not without their comedic moments. Both are great shows, that will make you think, laugh and perhaps even cry.
they are both awesome eventhough fullmetal alchemist is better. :)
is like a thriller you don't know what will happen in those amazing series, and there is a lot of characters and the plot of the most convenient to the world.

All the plot twists right out of nowhere.
Guilty Crown is more like R2 than Code Geass 1st season. The main character is thrust into a politically unstable Japan where he himself vows to change the nation his own way by his own methods (which are needless to say at times cruel). He has a power only he can use and uses it to further his own ambitions. (Geass with Lelouch and Void extraction with Shu) He is also leader of an anti-government faction. He also has a quiet female that supports him on the side. (Pizza girl in Geass and Inori in Guilty Crown) I do not want to get into spoilers but there are so many other similarities that you should just watch both if you enjoyed one. Each has its own unique qualities but are just too similar. The only slight difference is that in Code Geass, it is Westerners vs Japanese, in Guilty Crown it is Evil Japanese government vs Japanese high school students.
Both protagonist met a mysterious girl who give them power of the king and both of them are resistance fighting the government suppression and tyranny both settings is like a ghetto parts of Japan.when the series progresses both anime begun to realize they're fighting to much bigger threat a threat that they're fighting to people who wants to change the world for themselves... well the difference is that.. Guilty Crown has a FAG!!! and Cowardly King(Shou) and Code Geass has a manly genius king(Lelouch)
Both anime involve a high school boy gaining strange super powers who ultimately gets mixed up in a revolution for the freedom of Japan.
Many people say that Guilty Crown (GC) is simply a ripoff of Code Geass (CG), however i think GC brings enough to the table in order to make it an adequate anime by itself. GC may have a similar setting/atmosphere to that of CG, but other than that I do not feel that GC is a ripoff at all. Anyway, for anyone who enjoyed CG, i recommend that you atleast give GC a try. The music is amazing, and there is plenty of action/excitement to keep you interested and wanting more. While the characters are not as developed/ interesting as in CG, in the end i still found myself caring about them after everything that they have gone through. So give it a try!

they are both about changing the world and both use mechas as a tool to achieve this goal... although code geass is smarter and has a genius protagonist, gundam offers loads of action and amazing mecha fights
Both are similar in a way that they have complex story line and mecha fights. They are both jampacked with action and political battle. Both their methods in aiming for peace is the same - that is to let the mass unite and throw the anger at them. It's like the main characters are the protagonists and at the same time antagonists. The artwork and animation are superb. The only difference is that R2 is a closure whereas 00 still has a sequel( Season 2).
Replace Lelouch with the Gundam Meisters.
Both involve an organisation fighting the order of the world in the hopes of changing it. Strong similarities also exist between characters (Graham/Gino, Anya/Soma) and some of the mecha designs are similar as well in appearance and abilities.
|
|

mech, chars that effect change of world, both must watch lot of fun.
both are about 2 childhood friends different views of the war and fighting against eachother. the mecha also fits into the show
Both are involving battle and two childhood best friend.
|
|
|
They both are at war, they have strong weapons, they both searching for a better world by strange means, they both have some "magic" into them, they both have sort of a happyending with a better world in them.... VERY similar in my opinion. and they both VERY GOOD shows.. one of my 2 most favorites.
These two are the same because they both have-
Machine Battles
The two main characters have a little relationship.
Both series have a goal.
Both main males are ordinary school boys.
Both main females are a different being.
|
|
|
The history is very good, and the trama is great... and both are fantastic
Fighting to save the world
Both are mecha animes with very intense epic battles, the story plot between the two are both similar in a way to how they both want to make the world a better place and to become successfull in doing so. Theres quite a bit of mecha action and dramatic suspense with romance here and there, with some comedy to lighten up the moods. Very good animes overall.
|

Although the plot is a litte different, both main characters are very similar.
Hei possesses supernatural powers, wears mask on his missions and hides his true personality exactly like Lelouch. For both the most important are their younger sisters. Yin resembles Anya (similar hairstyle and emotionless). Both C.C. and Amber travel through the time, have many secrects and look alike (green long hairs, similar white clothes).
The chracters are some wat simlair and the story is kind of simliar too
Both animes are about supernatural powers. Very exciting and amazing situations. Good storyline.
|
|
|
While the series themselves are not that similar, the protagonists in both "deceived" the world. Not to mention they both have amazing evil laughs!
Both are very exciting anime, with lots of plot-twists, well-made and rich stories, great voice acting and lots of thrills.
In Steins;Gate you get to see time-travel and all its effects on the human mind and its possibilities.
While in Code Geass you see the ambition of a young man who gets the power to command anyone to do anything and manages to create an uprising against an empire (Britannia).

To bring peace to the world !
Sunrise and bandai goes crazy.
They share similarities in their ideology to end all wars (while differeing greatly in the actual plan they try to set the stage to make the way for peace). They are also other similarities between the brother/sister conflict.
|
|
|
both are roller coaster ride of emotion and drama
Mecha titles where the protagonists have to make decisions that can alter the world around them.
|
|

Same seiyuu for the main character (Jun Fukuyama)as well main character wields a look-a-like geass in BOTH eyes!
First of all, both are MASTERPiECES. And although i love anime and i've watched over hundreds now, when i actually RATE them, i'm considerably harsh. But anyway, here are some similarities. By the way, there are some spoilers. :V
- best friend attempts to kill best friend in both. ( if Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu was continued, then yes, both would've been best friend KiLLED best friend. )
- main characters are attempting world peace.
- both main characters have some sort of powers via their eyes.
- there are more then one type of power via eyes, and more then one owner.
- Both animes have a girl obessesed with food- C.C loves pizza, Ferris loves dango. They're also both tsunderes.
- lots of fighting, oh god the fighting.
- main characters both go insane at some point.
- there is a redheaded, tomboyish girl in love with one of the main characters.
There are also some differences, because if it was all the same, that'd be outright copying and also boring.
-As mentioned above, in CG, best friends KiLLED best friends. in DnYnD, the best friends didn't finish killing one another.
-DnYnD, as great as it is, only has one season. It's kind of. . . lacking an ending, but humans have an imagination, dont they?
- Code Geass is set in the future, so they have mecha and all that- DnYnD is set in the past in a different world with magic- no mecha. Both still have kickass fighting scenes, though.
i personally love both, so you should watch both of em. <3
|
|

Similar endings though different conclusions (you'll see what I mean when you watch it). The chairman of ZAFT is similar to Britannia's second prince in his intents and how he acts.
|
|
|
If you haven't seen either then don't read the following which contains spoilers:
Both involve a young genius taking over the throne of the empire and trying to conquer the world. However, it stands without saying that Lelouch's motives are vastly different than Ukyo's.
Also, both have mecha which are merely adding to the show rather than being the focus.
|
|
|
Both being very dramatical and are both great series which are a must watch if you love romance. The tension created on both animes is just amazing.
|
|
|
Recca & Lelouch fight for someone they care for, but thts it totaly different & Lelouch is much hotter
|
|
|
two great science fiction titles with engaging plot developments.
|
|
|
Both have Powerful Eyes
Both are mystery
and same Char's Dis
|
|
|
Both series have nations who strive for "true peace", but go about obtaining it in the wrong way, in a war stricken world. lelouche and nunally (both their characters and relationship) are very similar to luscinia and augusta sara. it becomes more noticeable as the story progresses.
|
|
|
Tons of action and plot twists, interesting character developments, epic plot.
|
|
|
The deepness of the story, and the way the Main Characters Thinks at the ends are same.
to save the worlds.
|
|
|
>Those series are actually different, but there is one thing of Zero no Tsukaima (ZnT) that reminded me Code Geass (CG): the story start in a small place, like a school/magic accademy, and it develops throught the whole world, and so, if you appreciated that developement I'm pretty sure you will enjoy both series.
>By the way, CG is much more serious, there is poor fanservice, the story is kinda a mindfuck (oh god, I loved CG so much), and the mai character is a complete badass. Meanwhile ZnT have a bright atmosphere throught 90% of the episodes, ofc there are some good touching moments, but is more based on a slow develoment and high ecchi/funny parts then on a solid story.
>Personally, I think that CG is worth a 10/10, while the whole ZnT is a 9/10 (for me, as I said), while the very last season of ZnT is a bit better then the others.
>I hope you will enjoy both.
>CG: War, tactics and mecha. ZnT: War, ecchi and maho... ah no, magic!

Ever heard great minds think alike? Yoshino is a great thinker, just like Lelouch. Both are powerless when it's hand to hand combat but excel when out thinking opponents. Both Lelouch and Yoshino need the strong opposite in the duo. In Code Geass, ita Suzaku and Zetsuen no Tempest it's Mahiro. Also, I can see a relationship between Suzaku and Nunnally almost like Yoshino and Aika. Lastly,C.C and Hakaze are women with an ability. Without that ability they become useless and they both cling on to the thinker.
|
|
|
Both have "heroes" in them who fight bad guys for peace. They have very realistic characters as well. Even though they both seem very different, they're quite similar and if you like one, you'll probably like the other.
|
|
|
While the plot of these two are completely different, there are some similarities,
- main character is the commander of a group, during battle, he/she commands others to do things and outwits the opponent
- both use machines, tank in GUP, and Nightmares in C geass
- during battle the atmosphere is similar, but completely diff outside of battle
|
|
|
When watching Durarara!!, I had that same feeling i had when watching code geass, that feeling of being their stunned and amazed at what had just happened.
|
|
|
Mostly recommended for Suzaku fans. This series has a main character who shares many similarities with Kururugi Suzaku: (Spoilers) 1. has committed a great wrong in his past, 2. goes beserk and becomes almost undefeatable when attacked, 3. has a 'curse' upon him such that he can't die. 4. Also spin kicks and cries abundantly. Secondary (female) character of the series also bears some similarities to Kallen.
In sum, if you enjoyed watching Suzaku angsting/brooding and trying to find atonement, you'll probably enjoy Casshern Sins.
|
|
|
Those Anime are the greatest mecha anime, all of you should see them
|
|
|
-Rebellion
-Masked protagonist
-Both Protagonist are intelligent strategist (Lelouch is smarter)
-Protagonist is the the leader
-Trying to figure out what happened in the past
-Lots of action
-Romance
-Mecha
|
|
|
This is something that might not be entirely obvious to begin with, but they do actually share a very common theme: obsession. Lelouch and Sato are both the most obsessed people on Earth. By the end of the series, you see that coming out. They are both spectacular series, but for almost entirely different reasons. However, if you like watching one person drive themselves, and everyone who cares about them, into the ground, then these two anime are for you.
|
|
|
-Rivalry between two friends.
-Girl with mysterious (kind of) power pursued by the government.
-Rebellion against a military dictatorship that oppresses those of a lower social class.
-Final showdown with two opposing military factions.
-Mecha.
Note: The Britannian military forces fom Code Geass are also similar to military forces in Innocent Venus.

R2 and 5D's are very similar in tone: they place priority on entertainment and wild aesthetics. Simultaneously both darker and odder than the previous installments of the franchises, the two shows present a wide variety of characters and are always trying to outdo themselves: every episode must be more flashy, more extreme, just plain MORE than the last one. They're fun to watch just to see what kinds of crazy stunts the characters will perform or what kind of didn't-see-that-coming plot twists will happen next. Recommended to those who just want to sit down and be taken on a colorful, crazy ride.

If you were to cut penguindrum into 2 seasons (1-12 ans 13-24), it is similar in a way with code geass r1 ending in terms of what happened to Himari and Lelouch.
Also as mentioned before Both anime starts out small and eventually ends up being involved with the fate of the world. Both anime are also about brothers doing everything they can for their sister. Code Geass is more political whereas Penguindrum is more focused on family.
|
|
|
Both are anime that are concerned with political issues.
Black Knights vs Britannian Government --> Code Geass
Red faction vs Blue faction --> K
Both also contains nice drawings!
|
|
|
similar drawing , similar main character , similar genres too ..
|
|
|
Similar lead characters, Suzaku = Dog soldier's protagonist & Lelouch = Dog Soldier's antagonist. Lead characters were childhood friends in both anime. Both involve military, warfare and deadly weapons.
If you liked Code Geass, you will LOVE Dog Soldier!
|
|
|
Again, just like Blassreiter, this anime is very serious, fast paste, and has its unexpected plot twist.
|
|
|
both main character are same how evil for good rezen, both are real robot in not so far future
|
|
|
Both shows use the destruction of the world as a metaphor to express their quality of writing.
Both shows also pride themselves on disjointed writing, unexplained plot twists, pointless side characters and sappy melodrama. Figurative trains will collide in your head if you attempt to question the "logic" of both.
|
|
|
This is similar because the series of plot twist and off the roof mech battles scenes Kick ass. The main characters all have a past that effects the story in someway. If you like Code Geass, then I recommend Macross Frointer 100%.
|
|
|
There is only one anime I've ever seen which comes close to Code Geass R2 for the "ridiculous trainwreck" factor, and that's Kannazuki no Miko. If you want something so silly you have to laugh your ass off and love it anyway, this is the anime for you.
|
|
|
The main boys are both heroes who try to rule the country . They both put the blame on themselves to keep order and peace , even though it was not their fault and they are good , and only a few people know of how heroic they are . They both try to better the world . They are both intelligent . They both have a power like something where they can control something . There is both romance in both shows .
|
|
|
Has the same voice actor for lelouch. only 6 or so episodes out so storyline not developed yet but if you like lelouch, then you'll love him in a comedy style
|
|
|
There's mecha in both and the main character tries to change and save the world.
|
|
|
♫same genre (Action, Mecha, Sci-Fi)♫
♫both of these anime series have several similar aspects like rebel forces fighting for freedom against large oppressing forces (Britannia and A-LAWS)♫
♫both have over-the-top battle scenes with a few far superior mechas being able to fight against large number of enemies on it's own♫
♫both have similar characters with beyond human capabilities (Geass Users and Innovators)♫
|
|
|
They share the same basic concept of war and strategy. And also the use of robot machines that beat the crap out of stuff.
|
|
|
For the first time I saw this new anime the first thing came to my mind is that it somehow related in Code Geass, something like a war type or a apocalyptic genre of anime. Toshokan Sensou: Kakumei no Tsubasa is a new and upcoming anime that you have to check mostly the otakus there who like this type of genre.
|
|
|
Hot girls piloting giant robots in compromising positions. Lots of screaming and skimpy suits/outfits. Both are pure awesome.
|
|
|
In Code Geass, the protagonist Lelouch is basically a lot like Koumei in Koutetsu Sangokushi. However the difference is the characters and the depth of tactical analysis. In Koutetsu Sangokushi the characters are bound by the power of the Sovereign/Imperial Seal, wanting to keep it in their poseesions, but in Code Geass, the "power/supernatural" thing is the geass--a power that differs with each person.
Of coarse I don't want to give anything away so therefore I won't say any more. But a recommendation is to watch the first code geass before the second or else you'll be confused in some parts.
|
|
|
The anime is very good.Judjing from Death Note witch the most of the fans like,this anime is the same for somethings ,but this is far more complicated and extremely suprising in every second,far more great and good.Even I,who underestimate this piece of greatness and coolnes,cryed like a little boy in the end.
|
|
|
there are elements of both mecha, action, romantic, and .. The characters look similiar.
and Kyoshiro .. he reminded me to Lelouch. His character, his face, his school uniform, looks similar. cool XD
|
|
|
Like Claymore it is packed with action-adventure and the story and the art are really great! :)
|
|
|
Both animes are about supernatural powers. Very exciting and amazing situations.
|
