Code Geass has one of the best endings of all time in Anime.
The starting is not so much interesting but as the story progresses you will get really immersed in the story and the ending will make everything worth it.
The art style may throw some people off as it is a very old anime but the story and characters make up for it.

Definitely you should try it.

code geass is a trainwreck, but an enjoyable one. if you feel like you need a break while watching, just stop and continue later.
the show attempts to mix together a ton of genres. everything that was popular in that time. which includes super hot women, mecha, yaoibait, mindgames, and politics, supernatural as well. the show has something for everybody, how much of that you'll end up liking is just a matter of personal taste.
I didn't like geass a much, I liked specific elements but not the whole picture. I'd still recommend the show even now. at least you'll get a good idea of that era in anime.

It's a good mecha series with good fan service. I'm not fond of the character and mecha designs but it's worth a watch.

Watch it. For me is a masterpiece and my fav anime but that comes to personal tastes.I'm yet to find a better anime ending.

Just give it a try. If you can't get into it after the first 6 eps it means it isn't for you and you should drop it.

It's more or less everything I don't want to see in an anime.

it's highly overrated
it's starts off pretty nicely, but then it becomes a mess, characters not in character, a lot of plot twists that really feels like there was a need for a twist in order to not end it even tho they had no ideas
the art is decent but nothing amazing (it's not even that old, could have been better)
oh and just about everything is unsurprising, you can even guess what's gonna happen long before it's gonna happen, tons of cliche stuff tbh
it's not that bad but it doesn't deserves the praise it gets and I even dropped it when I couldn't bear watching this uninteresting show
I guess it's a good watch if you want to know what people like and watch and if you want to understand some references
I'm categorizing it into the fan service anime for fake weebs and cringy fanboys

I wouldn't recommend it, there's hundreds of animes that are better even tho they ain't popular

I'm not really a fan of mecha but Code Geass is still one of my all time favorite animes and Lelouch just might be my number one anime character of all time (even though my number one changes pretty often, he's definitely always in the top 3). I feel like that says enough about the show from my perspective. Try it out, I really don't think you'll regret it!

It's highly stupid. Emphasis on both highly and stupid.

Here's a very straightforward example. A mind reader and the MC play chess. The mind reader takes all of the MC's chess pieces without losing a single piece himself which is literally impossible in chess. Just.... wow. The other time the MC plays chess, a guy makes an illegal move and moves his king right next to the MC's king. Pure utter nonsense to make drama. Only those who don't know the slightest thing about chess would go "wwooooowww sooo coool". This should tell you just the level of "intelligence" the anime is. Which is super low. Hence my claim that it is highly stupid.

The anime starts out mech-y, but then turns into mega ultra supernatural nonsense crap. Also very shallow. They try to get philosphical, but just like the chess example, the writers have no ****ing idea wtf they're talking about so they end up saying really dumb stuff. I was on the fence, siding towards this anime is decent, but after the supernatural crap happened, no, **** this, I regret spending my time watching this.

The romances were also forced, weird, cliche, and just horribly executed too. A female "evil" agent gets amnesia, does a complete 180 in personality, then plays the innocent girl until she gets her memory back, at which she betrays her lover, but then blah blah blah. I won't spoil anymore other than its contrived.

Code Geass's main driving force is killing and torturing girls which makes you go "nooooo". For an anime virgin its a decent experience but for regular anime watchers, you can tell just how bad it is.

Its ending is iconic though. So if you just want to watch it to study anime history/culture, then go ahead and watch it. it's in the same boat as evangelion imo as in no matter how bad it is you watch it because its famous.

S1 is a solid enough show with a great finale.

S2 craps on everything s1 did right, and is an absolute disaster that admittedly still manages to have a few good moments here and there. No the ending is not that good imo despite what people say.

Collectively eh it's like a 7.5/10 series. I'd at least rec the first season, and who knows though you might like the 2nd season. Thousands of people seem to at least, I'm just one of them.
