Synopsis

One year has passed since the Black Rebellion, a failed uprising against the Holy Britannian Empire led by the masked vigilante Zero, who is now missing. At a loss without their revolutionary leader, Area 11's resistance group—the Black Knights—find themselves too powerless to combat the brutality inflicted upon the Elevens by Britannia, which has increased significantly in order to crush any hope of a future revolt.

Lelouch Lamperouge, having lost all memory of his double life, is living peacefully alongside his friends as a high school student at Ashford Academy. His former partner C.C., unable to accept this turn of events, takes it upon herself to remind him of his past purpose, hoping that the mastermind Zero will rise once again to finish what he started, in this thrilling conclusion to the series.

When I clicked on the first episode I didn't expect much, the show was pretty old and looked unique. Many shows make their characters look cute with small statures and big eyes, but Code Geass does something different. Instead of small statures the characters have long limbs and their eyes aren't so big. It's not a bad thing though and you'll get used to it after a couple of episodes. The show started slow but it quickly picked up and you WILL hooked. In my opinion this show is straight peak and I don't care what anyone says. the vibe, the characters and fights are ...

Mixed Feelings
I think it's fine, but I can't help but feel both this and the first season are massively overrated. This show is constantly on like "top ten anime" lists, and I just don't see it. I feel like there is lots of better anime that do a lot of these concepts better, having seen those this kinda feels barebones.

There's not a lot of complexity in this even though I feel it tries to be complex, but most of the complex characters and plots just feel generic. The moral dilemnas it poses don't feel that thought-provoking because of how 2D most characters and situations are. ...

I had high hopes going into Code Geass R2 after the first season’s intriguing plot and complex characters, but unfortunately, this sequel utterly fails to deliver. What could have been a brilliant continuation instead unravels into a confusing, frustrating mess that betrays everything that made the original compelling.

First and foremost, the writing feels rushed and inconsistent. Instead of clever strategic battles and nuanced character development, the plot devolves into over-the-top melodrama and forced twists that make little sense. Key characters, especially Lelouch, make baffling decisions that ignore their intelligence and previously established motivations. Lelouch’s ultimate choice to sacrifice himself as a scapegoat — a move ...
