I had three main thought when I was watching this:

1. I am totally shipping Lelouch x Suzaku.

2. So that is how WWIII would work now a days.

3. POOR KIKU! HOW COULD ARTHUR DO THIS? (I will never be able to see anything the same after Hetalia.)

Skinny people... gosh..

I don't remember much from Death Note, but Code Geass so far definitely reminds me of 07 Ghosts and Gundam Seed. o_O

But I get the smart and borderline villian hero comparison. Love those characters. :D

Except I see the cliché arrogant prince. :(

A bit late into the series but I know I will be enjoying this. Prob most likely because Lelouch looks badass and didn't cry in fear. When he smiled at the end after making them kill themselves I went "awwwwww yeeeeaaaa" incoming badass alert

I get why people compare CG to Death Note. I got it at the moment Lelouch made that insane smile. Anyways, idk about you, but it's hard for me to restrain myself from watching more episodes -.-

Yup, very similar to Death Note, but Lelouch seems a bit more genuine compared to Light at the moment. =p

Looking forward to the next episode!

This is kind of irrelevant, but the whole premise of an empire, Britannia, 'stripping away the rights and identity of a country', Japan, reminds me of the Japanese colonization of countries like Korea, Taiwan, etc.

---------------------

Although I'm only on the first episode, the anime itself so far seems interesting.

Oh wow. What an exhilarating way to begin an anime. I now have high hopes for this anime.

I've put off watching this anime for months because I'm not a fan of mecha animes and the art wasn't appealing to me. I still don't like mecha but since Code Geass doesn't seem to revolve around it, I'll withstand it. The art has already struck me as beautiful, the character art has more of a late 90s style but the background is so detailed.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Really good episode, I can see why people recommend this to Death Note watchers and vice-versa. Crazy shit went down, I was a little confused at first with so much going on, but I think I will really enjoy this series.

I'm beginning to see what the fuss is about. I heard that the guy behind Guilty Crown did this first so I'm guessing the original will be a lot better, not that I though GC was really bad.

Quite Death Note-ish in the perspective that someone really smart with no powers gains powers that are out of their world.

Like it so far, also I shall not read any more comments as they are disappointing.

Having heard so many great things about this anime, I decided to give it a watch, but this isn't my first time watching the first episode. In fact, I've seen it like 3 or 4 times already because I tried to start this series so many times but couldn't get into it. Last time I tried to watch this anime I stopped at episode 7. But now that I've watched over a hundred other anime, I think I'm ready.

First episode was really interesting, Lelouch seems really cool. I like that power he has. Oh and I'm loving the mechas, this anime shall be interesting indeed!

First impressions: it was good.

I zoned out on the mecha fights hope there won't be too much of that :/

Decent main character so far. Don't really know anything about him yet. And his character design is awful.

Well, this is obviously one of those slow burners. I won't judge from 1st ep since I thought first ep of Steins; Gate was meh at first and now it's my favourite anime of all time...

First half of this episode was boring as shit; the second half was pretty interesting, though.

I'm expecting this to be one of the best anime of all time. Hopefully this episode is not an indicator of the quality of the series overall.

So first episode of the infamous Code Geass, was interesting to watch. Didn't think Lelouch would get such a power, seems really dangerous. But I like the characters so far and despite being a Mech it looks good.

It's been too long since I last watched this...

Boom, head-shot!

I always thought the first episode could have been better... I still think that. Best part is when Lelouch tells them to die. ^_^

It was an ok episode, I got bit confused with all this information but towards the end the episode got interesting. Lelouch does remind me of Light as they are both intelligent, but also both have similar goals as to change the world and use their power (death note/geass) to change it. I actually see why people recommend Code Geass to Death Note. I really love Death Note and I heard about how good this series is so I thought I'll give it a go. I'm looking forward to watching more of these episodes. I hope the whole of Code Geass series isn't like the first episode :)

Starting this!

So Britannia and Japan are enemies so to speak. Britannia has basically invaded Japan and are already taking it for themselves (watching others as terrorists who attack them in some form). Lelouch, i can tell, he's a smart guy and he got a power from that green-haired girl which makes him control people. I really liked this first episode, already into the action. I think, this power could easily manipulate him into a bad guy though.

Didn't like the OP song.

I don't catch a interest in this series because of lot of difficult to understand words.

Hey. I guess Lelouch IQ is extremely high as shown on chess game.

What interested me was when Lelouch got a power and commanded them to kill themselves. What a OverPowered ability.

ED song is well fit for this show. It gives me a shiver on my spine.

Great opening episode. The mysterious power is the gateway to many different paths.

It is kind of twisted to think of it this way, but I think those soldiers got what they deserved!

I never thought it would be this interesting, but I was mistaken.
