"Regardless what I want, is tomorrow!" — Lelouch Lamperouge
For you people who recently got into this beautiful medium called Anime then I definitely recommend you watch this show because this is one Epic that you ever forget.

Code Geass R2 is the sequel to R1 and though it isn't far superior by the time you're watching this you'll already be consumed by the world of the Holy Empire of Britannia, a world were Japanese are looked down upon and will no longer be referred to as Japanese but instead Elevens. Code Geass alter's history in which when Julius Caesar attempted to invade Britain the local tribes band together electing a super-leader Eowyn the first member of the Britannian which in time became the world power of Britannia.

Most people I know absolutely loved R1 so in turn they loved R2 as well but if you didn't like R1 first of all go fuck yourself, you aren't titled to an opinion on my review and second of all I doubt anything is going to change with because though R1 and R2 are a little different they're still similar.

Story
-------
Zero is back again, and his rebellion has just begun. But this time it's on a larger scale but if you thought he was ruthless last time well just you wait because he's gonna turn it up to a whole new level. Just like before it's a story filled with deceit and action, but I'd say R2 has more action sequences that R1.

Art
------
Code Geass has a very unique art style where all the character's have abnormally long torsos and limbs, the majority of viewers get used to the art style after 5 episodes. The reason I believe people reject this art style is because it's not one of the typical art style that animes utilize. I feel it adds to the character appeal making characters in my opinion just more badass.

Sound
--------
Soundtrack is just alright, nothing very memorable. But the characters voices are marvelous in both the dubbed and subbed version, with a few exceptions like Nunally's voice in the dubbed version, whenever she was speaking I felt like someone was sticking nails into my ears but regardless that doesn't affect the animation as a whole because the main character's voices are great and you can really feel the voices bring the characters to life.

Character
--------
Probably the best part about the show are the very memorable characters our Protagonist is Lelouch who is quite the anti-hero is I do say so myself, you might find yourself questioning his judgement and his motives sometimes but that's our Hero. Then there is Suzaku who is the person who exemplifies justice the most in this Anime. Some characters are annoying like Nina but she get's less annoying this time around. Sure there are a few one dimensional characters here and there but I would say that the more important characters are "deep" in a sense and I find that you will agree with me when you learn of there motives, justification and backstory.

Enjoyment
---------
Code Geass keeps you interested most of the time; but I do have to remark that the action scenes are very mehish but I only attribute it to how old the anime is, if you check out the OVAs (Akito the Exiled) then you'll understand that at the time they were limited to that Animation. The fight scenes do get interesting and if you're a fan of any Mech series like Gundam than you'll probably enjoy these fight scenes.

Overall
--------
Watch it, it's pretty fucking good in my opinion, but I'm not expert I just watch anime 24/7.
