| is he serious? are you serious? why did we like CG ? oh but wait, his favorite anime is claymore. i cant believe that people argue about code geass being sweet. Have u no taste at all? is all u like , those slice-of-life anime? jesus f**k |
| Stopped watching at around episode 17 about a year ago, started watching it again, and just dropped it at ep. 21...this episode was a little too over the top for me to keep watching. It was entertaining but I no longer care enough to finish it. |
  |
| LOL, OPINIONS! People like different stuff. If everyone likes something and you don't that means your a hipster and you fail at life. So go listen to music people have never heard of. |
| I'm not sure why some people here call it a "crap anime". Oh, yes, I do: You're trolls. Why denunciate it, if you haven't even seen it yourself? It's fine if people ask what other people liked about it and you can also tell them you didn't like it (or hate it or whatever) because of that and that and that reason. And still, this doesn't make it a crappy anime - and guess why? Because people have different tastes! It obviously isn't objectively crappy when LOADS of people liked it - for whatever reasons! (And yes, entertainment is a reason for heaven's sake!) You calling it crappy only mirrors your own opinion - which has no substantive value at all, sorry to tell you that ;) I'm not a fangirl, I haven't finished it yet (two episodes missing), but I didn't particularly dislike it so far. I'm not exactly one of those who think it is "awesome" or the best anime ever made, but it was entertaining and touched some truly interesting topics which were worth thinking about for a bit. Besides, its suspense was quite good for most of the show and kept me watching some episodes in a row sometimes. So, yeah, people like different things. I believe you have to learn that that's life. ;D Sad, but true. I didn't like Elfen Lied at all, which is quite popular. But of course this does not make it a bad anime, just one I couldn't come to like. If there was something about the plot or the presentation, for example, I pointed out how I found it weird or terrible and that's it. I didn't say "Whoo, you people are liking it because it's cool to like it, you're the dead fish swimming with the stream, hah hah!" which I find ridiculously childish. If you don't like it - fine, no (sane) person would actually say anything against you (as long as you don't start trolling - let's face it, nobody likes trolls). But that doesn't make you the "enlightened person who recognized the true value of this anime!" Nor does liking Code Geass make you someone with good taste. Ready yourselves for this, people! There's no accounting for taste. |

JuicyBuddha said: I'm not ignorant, I'm discerning. Life's too short to waste on crap anime, regardless of how popular it is. In fact, I'm actually even less interested in this anime after your explanation; what makes Death Note interesting is the battle of wits between Light and his enemies. And "IT'S ENTERTAININING" is not a very good argument in favor of an anime. I wasted so much time on the omfg so epic Gurren Lagann that was supposedly so entertaining when I could have read Chuck Norris jokes for five minutes and got the exact same effect. I think what I was asking is exactly what this person said, Death note was good because battle of wits between L and Light, FMP was good because it was really funny & any other classic titles which C.G contains within it has it's merits but C.G throws abit of everything in it and it becomes well, nullified since theres no humour in it since its a pretty sad anime tbh and none of the characters are really good to sympathize with esp not lelouche and in additional theres C.C who randomly shows up at start giving lelouche the geass then pretty much does nothing for the entire first season cept for minor things like pilot the mech & not letting Lelouche die when he messes up... |
 I will live on no matter what... so I can meet you once again. |
| Code Geass is one of the best anime I've watched. I've finished it after 2 days - both seasons. It's has the best animated action mecha fighting and a lot of eye-candy well executed fan service. Very fast paced, great plot twist, The Geass reminds me of Death Note too. And no, Death Note and LOGH are not better than Code Geass, in fact I yawned in a lot of pointlessly boring episodes in these 2 first anime while anime Code Geass kept me at the edge of my seat almost all the time, The only problem I have with it is the two pointless filler episodes in school, but I guess this adds to the realism of Lelouch being in high school. You can't even compare them because : LOGH is obviously meant for adult people while Code Geass is aimed at teenager like every Mecha series ever made by Sunrise. Their series "evolved" and Code Geass was born. Surprise : It's in the top10 best selling anime in Japon. Death Note is a battle between two geniuses, Code Geass is nothing of the sort. It's just a high school kid who got a power that will help him accomplish his goals. He is apparently good at Chess and is willing to sacrifice his (Geassed) allies to accomplish his goals. Believe it or not, some people likes to watch political conflics with good animated fights instead of being bombarded with philosophical dialog half of the time. Lelouch is a great character, one of the most complex character I've ever seen. Too bad he doesn't really know how to play chess (lol) |

You're providing your personal opinion, of course, but I don't think it's too hard to say something positive about Code Geass from a different perspective. Generalizations are a bit unnecessary. It can be easily argued Lelouch and Suzaku had a dynamic that was the opposite of what is usually seen in most mecha shows. The best pilot with the strongest robot and the most heroic attitude was the antagonist (Suzaku) while the protagonist was more of a tactician than a fighter and had more of a villainous than heroic disposition (Lelouch). The main character also had an internal conflict that made him very much unlike Light Yagami's aloofness and comparative indifference. So I'd say a number of people find these and other elements to be part of an interesting take on the genre. After all, you have a battle of roles and -vaguely- their corresponding ideals rather than one of wits. SuperSaiyen said: And no, Death Note and LOGH are not better than Code Geass, in fact I yawned in a lot of pointlessly boring episodes in these 2 first anime while anime Code Geass kept me at the edge of my seat almost all the time Unfortunately, I must disagree as this is also a matter of opinion. Particularly in the case of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the first couple of episodes might not have been the best but, just as well, they did provide a decent introduction into what turned out to be a very detailed and intriguing fictional world in the long run. It's also worth noting that both of these works are based on written novels (LOGH) and manga (Death Note), respectively. The producers already had a clear outline of where the story was going and how it was supposed to get there, instead of having to make those decisions along the way and deal with the demands of executives or sponsors. You can't even compare them because : LOGH is obviously meant for adult people while Code Geass is aimed at teenager like every Mecha series ever made by Sunrise. On the other hand, this does happen to be an entirely valid point. Having said that though, this doesn't mean adults are incapable of enjoying Geass or that teenagers can't like LOGH. |
| Because it's awesome...? There. I just answered your question in 3 words. |

Unfortunately, I must disagree as this is also a matter of opinion. Yeah. But some people actually think that LOGH/DN > CG like it's an irrefutable mathematic equation and people who think otherwise are retarded simpletons with a very low IQ and bad taste in anime xD |
|
| 'cause it has tons of flashy action, drama, great animations, and always keeps you on the edge of your seat? Code Geass is one of, if not, the most fun, exciting, engaging, and entertaining animes ever. it's not hard to see why it has such a massive fanbase tbqh. |
| lol... if you ask me, in full honesty and no offence taken, I find it completely weird for people not to be enjoyed by this anime. I won't tell you to find it perfect or whatever.. just be entertained by it. It might depend on tastes, sure, but still this anime has it ALL. And that is not some sort of over-enthusiasm, it's a logical thought procedure. And by "all" I mean it has from romance to big fights, it has a little shoujo and surely lots of shounen.. but it also has mecha, supernatural, comedy, drama, sci-fi, mystery, emotional moments.. etc etc etc So if you want my two cents, I'd say NOT liking even a small bit of CG it's like not liking anything.. gah..too picky.. In the end why bother ask why people like it ? That's too long to answer! Better ask why someone would not like it.. that's what would strike me as weird, so the question would be def more appropriate. And I don't think many people would waste more time to explain more than I did, they'd prefer go rewatch the series than caring to answer, trust me... the question didn't start a revolution.. |

| I don't like the show either... not at all. Zero's outfit it ridiculous, the drawing is horrible (IMO) and the story just doesn't catch me at all. I really, really, really don't get why people seem to like it so much (-__-) |

I really, really, really don't get why people seem to like it so much (-__-) there are already plenty of reasons given in this topic as to why so many people love the Code Geass series. if you still really, really, really don't get it, then you're quite frankly, stupid. |
| Use ideas from successful anime and incorporate it into a show is what Code Geass... Show itself isn't bad but not original either. |
 |
| Code Geass was the anime that brought me to this world.I was like "I can't believe an epic anime show like this exist Need more!!." So to my curiousity, I'm here. About the OP's question, maybe it's because it has lot of elements than any other shows have which tend to draw much more fans. If you didn't like mecha but you like romance, there you have it (though it was a sad one lol) If you didn't like the drama but you like action, there you have it and etc. It's one of my favorite shows because it was purely entertaining and mindblowing. Forgive me if my words are over-exaggerated for your taste but can't think any words to describe it. =) |
| The EPIC ending is all I like |

| I liked the ups/downs of the story but the main reason why I liked this show is because so many people died. If a show/movie/book/etc. can kill off an important character (not necessarily main characters, but if they can kill off a main character...) it adds a sense of realism to the story. Not many shows will kill off a character so when they do, I tend to enjoy the show more. Now when I say important characters, I mean on the good-guy side as well. Bad guys are supposed to die unless it's Bleach or Naruto. Code Geass had plenty of people dying and that's what I liked the most, especially since it was a military show. |
 |
| I can understand but I also understand is what's popular isn't always good. It's definitely better than a trainwreck like Naruto but it isn't the best. People only compare it to Death Note because of the main character and only then just because Death Note's the only next popular thing, Lelouch and Light wanted to change the world to different extremes and in different ways. Lelouch is a terrorist, a Prince, a rebel, that reminds of someone else from a better and sadly less popular anime rather than Kira/Light Yagami. Code Geass in my eyes was an attempt to make yet another alternate universe of certain anime series while trying to avoid comparisons from its earliest and greatest works. |

| Sometimes I cringe when I see this anime being compared to masterpieces like LotGH and Gundam but now I pat the people that made that recomenddation on the back, because it's true (if you go one way), it's nothing like Death Note, if you watch this as your first military-sci-fi anime, it will bring you less disappointment. when you experience better and mature works. I remember when I saw 08th Ms Team as my first Gundam and I enjoyed it, it was a masterpiece but it made watching lesser works like G and Wing more disappointing, so leave the good stuff at until the end. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| For me personally, I heard of it from a friend and he said it was amazing. While watching I enjoyed parts but the small parts of it I liked were dragging me through the rest of the show. It's one of those shows that just makes me upset to think of, there are a lot of things I didn't like and no one has ever shed light on an example of the good aspects of the show. It may take a forced re-watch or something, but for now I don't agree with the over the top ratings. |
| People like shows like code geass and death note because of the 'game'. These are usually intelligent people who like the show for being unpredictable and smart. This is what makes these kinds of shows unique too. |
| It because I root Lelouch x CC |
