Hey man your Code Geass review is way too vague in personal thoughts to be useful.
"I watched this because of all the rave reviews."
That makes you sound like a naive sucker. Bad intro.
"My expectations were high, and I was unfortunately disappointed."
No wonder. Never believe other's opinions. Especially those from 10 year olds.
" the whole Britannia world domination thing seemed quite propaganda-ish."
Why is that bad? You don't explain.
"mostly just a manifestation of teenage angst."
Same as above. Some love propaganda and teen angst.
"I also felt like it took itself too seriously at times and was overly dramatic... and did not do a good job of comic relief."
Same again.
" FMP also dealt with war and was dark at points, but the comic relief was executed perfectly."
"FMP drastically outshined CG in character quality and development."
Irrelevant and hard to compare.
"Lelouch just needs to take some anger management classes; I have to say, though, that his egotism is so extreme that it is almost funny. Suzaku just needs to see a shrink about his father issues. Angst, angst, angst."
WHY IS ALL THAT BAD?
"No real depth, no real relationships. None of the romantic connections are believable nor do I sense any ounce of true chemistry. Most of the girls just seem to be there for fan service or to fill a token plot role. While characters like Chidori and Sousuke from FMP feel so alive, three dimensional and multi-faceted, all of the characters in CG feel flat and dull like props. It's hard to like a show when I don't feel moved by the characters."
Biased without much explaining.
Why don't you read my Code Geass R2 review and see a more analytical approach?
