It's not like I hate it but whole anime and main character are really overrated. I don't see anything special in them. Same with some other characters =/

but R2 is too colorful, story is unrealistic

I hate code geass because it seems too much like death note. The plot, the main character. It seems to unoriginal.

Also It just never seemed to get my interest (well that one episode with the cat stealing lelouch's helmet did. hehe stupid lelouch) Not only that I can't stand animes that keep me confused and this one definitely did (of course that might be just me. I can be pretty slow at understanding things at times ^^*)

cause it's a cheap rip-off of Death Note & Gundam SEED. also the whole story is LAME

The reason I dislike it is the deus ex machina feel of the story. Every time the protagonist starts to get ahead a twist sets him back. Every time someone important is about to die some big twist comes in to save them.

Now don't get me wrong the first season was decent, the plot was coherent, and the pacing of the series wasn't horrible. S1 had its flaws don't get me wrong, it was nowhere near art. However the second season came around and suddenly they had a geass canceler and everyone started getting these special powers.

^^ I love Code Geass but that's my major complaint too.

On a different note.. People seem to say that Code Geass just copied other anime and was unoriginal...but honestly I'm hard pressed to find an anime that combines a political feel with good action. The more the better is what I say.

Well, Code Geass is good. It might not be best, it my be overrated, but with animu... it's as far as you can get. I watched quite a number of animus myself, and CG is still one of the bast. But what I despise the most it's retarded fanbase that has it all waaay too wrong. But let's begin with something else, shall we?

It isn't. It has lot's of good points (from where did authors stole them I'll tell you later), and it's much more than your typical "good vs. evil" bullshit, but overall it's still fucking retarded... just like about every other anime.


Main character ain't that bad. Lelouch is somewhat evil, but that's good for him. It's much more better than thousands of all the white-knightish-do-gooders.


It's fun to watch though. With experiences from R1 i never expected too much realism in R2, but still it was fun. But I agrre, it is unrealistic (still better than story in many other animus though).


It is, I'll tell you why later. But for you to say that's because of Death Note... it's fucking stupid.


I can't say much more than "Enjoy your InuYasha and Naruto"


Hahaha, you have no fucking idea what the fuck you are talking about. (will be shown why later). Story is at leats good. Authors may have failed to show it properly though.


I agree competely. Whole R2 is one Deus Ex Machina after another. I seriously didn't know what to think about Orange turning LOYAL or Nunnaly surviving.


I'm just about to get there, to One Anime To Rule Them All...

You know Legend of the Galactic Heroes? That very old anime that somehow stays on the top of MAL Top List? This was the source of inspiration to CG authors (though they failed horribly). I first watched CG, and EVERYTHING that was good and pure i found later in LoGH. Protagonist has sister that was horrribly treated by the Emperor? LoGH did it.

A charcters is making himself object of hatred by, apparently, everyone else, for the greater good? And sacrificing himself for that? Nope, Lelouch is not first. Oberstein did it, and may the Satan himself rape me with a stick if he weren't so much better at it than Lelouch. Lelouch accidently commanded a massacre and made propaganda profit from it (hi Euphie)? Oberstein did it. Deliberately. Hell, he even got order from the Emperor but he lied to him and disobeyed it anyway. And compare stadium with whole fucking planet and tell me now who's more badass (and who's a ripoff).

Protagonis swore vengeance upon the Emperor for doing horrible things to his sister? LoGH did it, and much better - Lelouch is driven by vengeance by whole fucking series, but apparently Reinhard von Lohengramm from LoGH sees this as motive for, i dunno, couple of hours? And he is just a kid then. I mean, he still loves her but his motives EVOLVE from simple vengeance to hatred to nobles (for their happy lives in times of war, their families not participating in ongoing war, they lack of understanding of common man problems, just to name few), to despisal for the political system he lives in, finally to hatred to the founder of this rotten country - and trust me, I am generalizing here. What does Lelouch have? "I luv my sister so I'll abandon the battlefield cuz something might happen to her?"

Damn, most of the battles are ripped off from LoGH too. I mean - baiting the enemy into the base of a volcano? Doesn't it sound quite like "baiting the enemy into the range of Thor's Hammer"? (Thor's Hammer is a giant cannon mounted on Iserlohn Fortress). Triggering a landslide to engulf the enemy in mud? Quite like "Igniting the atmosphere to engulf the enemy in fire" (Battle in Legnica's atmosphere from one of LoGH movies). Besides, can Lelouch use anything beside terrain haxes?

That's another thing: Lelouch is no fucking tactical genious, okay? All he can do is use geass and terrainhaxes. And using overpowered mechas is not a tactic. Any admiral under Lohengramm's rule is more capapble than Lelouch can dream of. And battles are much more exciting from tactical and strategical viewpoints in LoGH (hell, we even have one battle when one side delivers a crushing tactical defeat to the enemy but is given a crushing strategical defeat in the meantime). Sure, battles are more flashy and sparkly in Code Geass, but in LoGH they are much more satysfying. And bloody. And I'm talking here about fucking brains on the floor and people trying to gather their guts from the floor back inside and people without half of their bodies trying to crawl away somewhere safe. How much bloody violence there is in CG?

Next point - characters. These are not well developed characters, okay? I only like Lelouch, Orange and MadMao are fine too, but rest of them... God, how I hate Suzaku - I've never seen such an idiot in my life. All the other characters seems to simply not have anything interesting in them. Wan't some well developed characters? Watch LoGH. Another thing: Actually, how many characters die in Code Geass? Does any main character die before the last few episodes? I can't remember too many, and because CG is about WAR i think that's fucking stupid. Now think about why LoGH author was nicknamed "Mass Murderer". Yup, main characters die. You don't know who, you don't know when and you don't know how. That's how it's supposed to be. No Deus Ex Machina, no supermechs saving your life, no coming back from the dead (hi Nunnaly). You die, it's fucking over. And who's the worst character in LOGH? Whoever it is, they're better than Code Geass' entire cast.

Politics - In Code Geass we have none. We have fairy tale bullshit. Whole evacuation of millions of Zero's from japan is just... i can't even laugh at it. Watch LoGH for some real goddamn politics.

And mecha: overpowered, overused complete and utter bullshit. Why they can't use some fucking tanks for Christ sake instead? Without supermechs and plotarmor CG would be so much better. (do I have to mention that in LoGH there is no mecha, no plotarmor, and a battle with 400.000 lives lost is considered small-scale? Oh, and there is no magic too)

Now, don't get me wrong. I have CG in favourites because it's still one of the best animes I've ever seen. I just hate it because it steals A LOT from probably the best anime in existence, but fails to do it right. More, it fails to do it medciocre. Hell, it fails to even fail properly.

And that's what I have against Code Geass: poor ripoff of one of the greatest achievments in animation industry. And the fanbase that think it is original. And anyone that thinks it's a Death Note ripoff. And any fucktard that thinks Tytania is Code Geass ripoff (god, I hate those fags the most). And the retarded fanbase that thinks in
Code Geass anyone has even moderate understanding of tactics and strategy. There. Is. No. Fucking. Tactics. There. Lelouch can't even do ANYTHING if something in battle goes differently than he anticipated, everything get's fucked up then. Lelouch only wins battles because of magickal eyez. And that's the only way he could become the Emperor, unlike some LoGH character who crowned himself a motherfucking Emperor. He did it through blood, sweat and tears, not because some thousand years old tart gave him magical powers.

Well, that will be all. You can now troll Geassfags by saying that their beloved "masterpiece" is just one of the poorest and failest rippofs ever made of one of the greatest shows ever made. It fails at ripping off plot, characters and ideas. And you will be 100% right while doing that.

While writing this post I decided afterall to remove CG drom my fav list. God, that felt good.

Because they took Death Note, added mecha, school life, multicolored outfits, fanservice and in short, a bit from every genre, and thought that no one would notice that it's a ripoff. Now, I'm not even a Death Note fan and see various flows in it. I would've even ignored the fact that Code Geass just copied everything if they did it properly, but they seem to have forgotten that the overly drammatic scenes and characters with twisted morality aren't the best thing about Death Note. So instead of a stable plot with almost no plot holes and relatively intelligent themes, they made that idiotic... thing.
