I've never really pulled out the card to give an anime a 10, but since I completed this a year ago I've rewatched it at least five times, ultimately proving the rewatch value on this anime is immensely high. I've met a few people who will argue Code Geass is just a copy of Death Note, but while I am a fan of both i'd easily say Lelouch is definitely more appealing of a character then Light, because Light was given power, but easily corrupted by it.
I'd also have to say the plot was absolutely amazing. I don't remember a single time in the fifty
...
episodes I got bored of it. I'm not even a mecha fan and I actually try to stay away from all mecha series after Gundam, but the mechas in this anime are actually pretty good.
The art was also great. The character design combined with background visuals is complete sex to the eye, and I remember watching these episodes and admiring the detailed art that was put in. Animation is also great, there is some limited animation when developing the story of the characters, as with all animes, but the mecha fights make up for it.
The songs in this anime were fantastic. I haven't watched Code Geass in two months and I can still remember at least five of the soundtracks played. All the soundtracks are memorable in some way and are played in times most fitting of the scene.
I enjoyed the hell out of this anime, it has the elements of slice of life, comedy, adventure, action, and drama, seriously, in this anime there is at least some parts that will appeal to your side of the audience. Personally I enjoy all of those elements which is why my ratings are so high for this anime.
Overall, Code geass is an anime you should definitely give a try. The story is interesting, the art value is astronomically high, the soundtracks are memorable, and the characters are by latest anime standards, gods. Treasure the first time you watch this anime, because it is one of the very few gems in a swamp.
