Though as much as the storyline can resemble Deathnote, I managed to dig out a bunch more themes. This is very much like a mix of Deathnote's "I want to change the world to my liking" plus Full Metal Alchemist's "What is a human capable of doing?" It's extremely psychological and introduces people to a different way of thinking.
Art: Overall the art is fine, though I'm not really picky with art. Sometimes Leloouch's blocky hair made me a bit unsure, but those are just sometimes.
Sound: I don't recal much music in the episodes, just the little mood adders, those were really good.
Character: Yes, there is a bunch of character developement. Lelouch slowly becomes more evil (like Light from Deathnote) yet he still manages to cling to his human emotions to his sister and friends. And C.C. also has some changes, though the seris she becomes more open to Lelouch (though it does seem like he's manipulating her). My favourite character developement is on Suzaku, when he changes from a loving, nice boy to a killer because of what Zero does to him (not spoiling hopefully). The rest of the characters also undergo some little changes, but I'm not going to get into them.
Overall: I just finished this anime yesterday and now I can't wait until the Second season comes out next year (Spring 2008). For anyone who loves a good mix of different genres, Code Geass has everything. Also for those who finished Deathnote and is undergoing obessions and such, WATCH CODE GEASS!
