| i would like to watch a series that is just as good or even better than Code Geass |
| IMO, Full Metal Panic > Code Geass |
| I'm looking myself. So far, I haven't found anything better personally. However, it depends on WHY you like Code Geass. If you are decently comfortable with mecha: Gundam Wing comes to mind, due to the similar geopolitical power-shifts, mecha battles, opposing philosophical viewpoints, protagonist is an anti-hero, etc. but that's from like 13 years ago. Code Geass has too many things for everyone to ask for a blanket "what's better?" statement. If you like it for action, there are many anime's with better action out there. If you like it for visuals, some have topped it. Gurren Lagann might be your thing. Personally I disliked fanservice-fest ridiculously-over-the-top Gurren, for being the very opposite of the reasons I liked Geass which follow: If you like Geass for the intelligent geopolitical chess game tied together with intense emotional repercussions for the hero, warfare, inner-family monarchical divisions, multiple coup d'etat then tough luck: For there is no greater than Geass. I'd been looking for something like that for a while, Geass answered my prayers. The best other political chessplayers in anime's I can think of are Gundam Wing's Treize, and Mustang in Full Metal Alchemist. Maybe Utawarerumono also, since it has a few coup d'etat, and elements of harem like Geass. But neither one has the roller coaster of Geass. The characters are mostly static, with only a few being dynamic (and only changing once) unlike Geass, where MOST are dynamic, and many change multiple times, such as Lelouche, Shirley, Suzaku, etc. P.S. Geass will come back. In either a season 3, or alternate universe. Just re-watch the ending of 25 again and remember C.C. and the emperor both had a code (whichever he could of gotten it from). So please tell us WHY you like Geass, then we can help you better! |

| um death note is the closest to it plot, character development-wise. epicness maybe gurren lagann. |
| Supernatural powers to kill / control people - Death Note or Jigoku Shojo Mechas - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Neon Genesis Evangelion Similar plot - Death Note Epicness - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann |
 Sorry for my English ;) |
| I know nobody would probably see this, I came up on this thread a LOOONG time ago after I finished Code Geass, I just rewatched it today. Still I want people... who are searching to understand what is it really they're trying to find in other anime.... unfortunately I haven't found another Anime like Code Geass.... sure certain things like "plot" or "epicness" Id have to give that to Gurren Lagann and Death Note.... but come on. For instance Death Note and Code Geass, aside from what woukld be called "Psychological Warfare" is nothing a like... I get the feel that whenever I watch Death Note.... no I mean I see.... You NEVER see a colorful scene in Death Note.... I guess they wanted to accentuate the theme? Dark... Black-Humor... and mature.. Code Geass Has the former, but not the later, it's actually colorful, dark at times, but not that dark it's fun to watch... I just wish they'd have more battle scenes in though. As for Gurren Lagann..... Yes Throwing Galaxies as deadly disc of doom to fight the final Boss was epic... Actually I have nothing to pout about when comparing Gurren Lagann to Code Geass.... it was a good anime. Actually It'd be fine if they made a sequel too. I just want to say that I like EVERYTHING in Code Geass/R2 The casual everyday school life and the fact that there's another side to it, I.E Lelouch going Zero and waging war on Britannia, the humor, the action, yes the Mechs and effects are really cool to watch. I also liked the plot, but saying just "plot" won't get you anywhere when you try to compare it to another anime. I don't think there's any anime like Code Geass, Code Geass has a lot of theme, the genre is also varied, I haven't seen any other anime as diverse fun, full of action, interesting plot/twist/etc. |

| *check* We're still in the recommendation forum. *check* This thread really IS 2 years old. *wonder* Anyway, fanboys/-girls please stay in the Series discussion Forum, except you have anything to RECOMMEND to an RECENT Thread. Jeez. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Yeah it's called Highschool of the Dead, it uses pretty much the same standards for popularity. |
| It's not an anime, but Onani Master Kurosawa is in some ways like Code Geass. |
| Lol at the people who recommended Death Note. It's in his avatar! Hahaha - The Second Darker than Black Series |

| Durarara!! |
