The story was amusing; I loved the idea of large scale kingdoms fighting each other using rl setting(s), but they lost me when they introduced mecha. That was a huge blunder to what I was hoping for with this show.
Lelouch is an interesting character, but I quickly lost interest in him and this show over time. He sort of fell into the generic anti hero trope for me.
The art and sound are great but it's not enough reason to watch a show. It's like eating an apple just because it looks good and even though it tastes like ass, you still eat it anyway.
I had high hopes for this show, but they blew it. They had the perfect plot concept, an (almost) perfect MC, but they managed to ruin it within a few episodes.
The only reason why I bothered watching more than half of this show's episodes is because JYB voices Lelouch, and I have a inexplicable bias towards him. But, as I said, art and sound isn't enough reason to watch a show.
