| For me personally, I heard of it from a friend and he said it was amazing. While watching I enjoyed parts but the small parts of it I liked were dragging me through the rest of the show. It's one of those shows that just makes me upset to think of, there are a lot of things I didn't like and no one has ever shed light on an example of the good aspects of the show. It may take a forced re-watch or something, but for now I don't agree with the over the top ratings. |
| People like shows like code geass and death note because of the 'game'. These are usually intelligent people who like the show for being unpredictable and smart. This is what makes these kinds of shows unique too. |
| It because I root Lelouch x CC |
| because of the deep plot http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100313193324/animebaths/images/8/8f/Code_geass_3_20.jpg |

| I'd love to tell you why, but to be honest, I don't know myself. I've already watched about a half of the first season, and uhm... characters are so empty, and emotionless, and the whole anime is trying to be so wise and serious. All the series is nothing original, and uh... I mean, I haven't watched the whole piece, but I really doubt that it's gonna get much better than it is now. ACtually, I think I'm gonna just drop it. But, one good thing I don't understand: actually it's pretty easy to watch, somehow. I don't know why. xD |

| Lack of originality usually does not bother me but here, people think Code Geass is so innovative and mature. In reality it tones down its politics and oversimplifies the "military tactics" for comedy and unnecessary drama. In my eyes, it should be a gateway drug so people can transition to more mature anime but it appears it is also a pit in the middle of the road that people fall into. |

| Didn't Like it , Instead of using Xanatos Gambit and analytical thinking like Death Note the show kept forcing unrealistic solutions and plot devices. And yes I was forced to watch it all because a friend kept telling me its better and I regret the time I spent watching it. |

| It's the Same story as with LoGH. "If I rate it 10 and put it on my favorite, that means I'm intelligent and cultured" /sarcasm off. Sorry to say, but some people exactly act like that."They can see Shakespeare". It's not flame, it's the facts. And facts can be harsh. I know, there is some who really like it, but not in that extent. |

| Paramount's Star Trek movies are orders of magnitude superior and greater in number to their Transformers movies. But ask the average person today and they'll probably say they like Transformers more. That is what knowing Code Geass but not Sunrise's previous series is like. |

zuziako said: I would say Code Geass is interesting because of the story and plot twists. Everyone can argue how smart Lelouch really is, and is Light smarter than him, and would his actions work in real war- but it's not really important. Neither code Geass or death note are realistic. Code Geass is also very epic, there are some scenes that make you hold your breath for just a second- great feeling. Mechas also contribute a lot to the series- they are powerful and nicely designed. I don't know what some people expect from code geass- it's a well written anime with really good designs (if you like clamp style). It's ENTERTAINING. Code Geass is still a amazing series Light became dumb after EP 24 of Death Note tbh |
| If u think Code Geass and Death Note are similar, you might as well call Hulk and Captain America same, in the end a single man fight a whole bunch of people in both the movies. In DN, since the moment he got the notebook, he set out to change the world alone even though he just fought the detectives in the whole series and killing innocent people didn't bother him. In case of Lelouch, he gradually realised the impact of his actions and he barely pulled thorough the al of the death of innocent people but in the end his actions paid off and he granted the world a better future. |
 |
| It's pretty average. Interesting concept but it's squandered by bad writing that contradicts itself with a lot of reused coincidences and dumb decisions that everyone around Lelouch makes to make him seem smarter than he really is. Coupled that with a disturbing masturbation scene with a table and you have yourself a trainwreck. I also wonder what they were smoking when they made the character designs but whatever it was it must have been some good shit. |

| First of all: Code Geass in one of my favorite Animes. It's my second favorite Anime and I don't care if anybody doesn't like it. I slightly hate it if people say it's ''overrated''. It's true that Code Geass is really popular and I can see why not everybody likes it. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's bad. I don't like the Anime because of the hot girls or fanservice. I've never saw Code Geass as a fanservice Anime. In my eyes it's a great Anime with interesting characters. I like Lelouch himself because he is different than other main characters I've seen before. I never really liked Light from Death Note that much. Lelouch seems more special in my eyes. Lelouch is like way more likeable and sympathic to me. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| Code Geass and Death Note's share only superficial features. Yes, both feature rivalries, supernatural elements, genius/strategy and world domination (lelouch doesnt rlly wanna be god tho, meh). But while these four tags are a fairly comprehensive description of Death Note's plot, they do very little justice to the point of Code Geass. The reason Code Geass' ratings fly high is because it has something for every level and kind of involvement. The palette and movement are captivating. I could stare at Villetta's beautiful angles for days. There's also high-school romance/humour+some pantsu(?). Mecha gets my blood flowing. The strategy gives me reason to watch (this is my genre usually). The show is rife with symbolism and literary references. The premise gives me a takeaway message for when I'm done. The way I currently interpret it, Code Geass is a rejection of Social Darwinism. It's argues that utility maximization is too simplistic a characterization of human decisions, unfixably. Why does Lelouch claim to make a better world for Nunally, when she already seems fairly happy in exile? Why is Suzaku so idealistic? Shirley, so believing? Kallen, so brutish? Why does Cornelia dote on Euphemia? Why are the Purebloods loyal to Maryanne, a commoner? All these tendencies make these people take decisions that make them objectively worse off. Love? Pride? Honour? I'd always considered these stale descriptions of human emotion. But I feel like I get this. Suzaku is compensating for going unpunished for killing his father. Kallen is proving to herself that she isn't powerless like her mother. They make decisions rationalised with thoughts they don't acknowledge. They're bad utility maximizers; they don't even know their utility functions. Thinking about how Code Geass characters act has given me a window into how I and people around me think. I'll change my mind in a week. Disagree with myself and land on a completely different interpretation. I'm at around the end of the first season on my fourth watch. My point is that I still get so much out of it. On my first watch, I thought Code Geass was shitty Death Note as well. I gave it a 6. On the other hand, I loved Death Note. But DN caters to 1-2 genres of viewers. The (intentionally) dark palette can honestly be a sore sometimes. All the humour you get is Ryuk's apples and Light's potato chips. You have to be in it for the strategy (or LightxL, ahem). With that said, it's of course exceptionally popular. But I have gotten far less out of DN rewatches. Code Geass has been like those childrens' stories I understand in a new way years after I've heard them. |

candybars said: Watch the very last episode... in my opinion it's why people like code geass, and lelouch, so much... the rest of it just helps you to understand that episode better. Well, the reason I liked Code Geass so much was not just the last episode, but the build up to it, but yeah, the last episodes of Code geass was great. The first season finale in Code Geass was when I knew that this was my favorite. Especially when Lelouch and Suzaku turn from besties to arch-nemesis. I don't like train wrecks much, but drama. There is a great difference. "Another" was a train wreck. Start to finish. So was SAO and Haruhi. But CG was pure drama. There was plot and character development woven nicely. In all anime, only code geass has given meaning to each character. Even though Euphy's death was something similar lazy writing, it was still executed perfectly that it wasn't lazy writing anymore. So was Rolo's death. I haven't seen another show that made me cry for its most hated character's death. I can go on and on, but Code Geass was the stuff. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I gave it a good collegiant effort with 6 episodes and couldn’t make myself care about any of the leads with the exception of the blind girl. For those who love this, more power to you, but for now I’m out of here. |
