Story (10/10): The story of Code Geass will capture your attention right from the get-go.The action of mech combat, the warfare strategies of the protagonist, and the complex narrative will sure to satisfy many anime fans.
Art (8/10): While this anime was made almost 10 years ago, it still holds up art-wise. The mech combat still looks great, and the animation is very fluid. However, there may be a few who can be turned-off by the art style of the characters. Their elongated bodies and arms take a little to get used to. But, some find the character designs positively unique.
Sound (10/10): The music in Code Geass can be seen as one of the best points of the anime. There is a great blend of genres of music, and it keeps the tension high when need be and also lowers tension at the opportune moments. The first opening, Colors by FLOW, is especially memorable. The voice actors also do a terrific job portraying the characters.
Characters (10/10): There are many characters in the series. The main protagonist, Lelouch vi Britannia, is compared to Light from Death Note by some people. While they both have similarities, they are also very different. Lelouch is a little more positive in terms of personality. He is a strategical genius and watching his plans take action are fun to watch. The secondary protagonist, Suzaku, is also a very interesting character. He can be seen as the opposite of Lelouch. Watching his plan to change the world in a more diplomatic way is commendable. Other notable characters include Kallen (a leader of Lelouch's rebellion), Nunally (Lelouch's sister), Eupemia (a princess of Britannia), and Lloyd (the creator of Suzaku's mech, the Lancealot). As you can see, there are many unique characters in this series. It can be easy to find one to relate with.
Enjoyment (10/10): This anime is probably my favorite anime of all time. With its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and great music, it left me begging for more. I am sure that many anime fans will love this series. However, some might find the character designs a little odd at first. Others will find the character designs unique. If you haven't given it a try yet (why haven't you?), check out Code Geass!
