what a perfect show! I had no idea what I was getting into when I started watching the first episode of Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion (english title)
and boy was I unprepared... This is some Star Wars level stuff... Now before I start mindlessly praising it, allow me to actually write a review.
Lelouch is the main character, a young student with a troubled past, who hates his own country and father. Britain invades Japan, Japan surrenders. Lelouch is native Britain but he's forced to go to Japan with his little sister. He gets caught up in a terrorist attack waged by some Japanese rebels and ends up with a unique power that changes his destiny forever, and of course the fate of the world. Does it change for the better? Watch and find out
Story 10
Absolutely phenomenal, there's a lot to take in as this show goes at a fast yet balanced pace. Basically, you'll always be learning new things about the grand scheme of what is really going on, but you won't be 'overwhelmed' by nonsense
Art 10
This show is from 2006? Really? It could pass off for a 2015 show in terms of the art and animation. I wasn't used to the art style they used as this was the first time I experienced it, but they NAILED it, and I quickly fell in love with it. You can tell how much work and passion was put into the visuals.
Sound 10
Some of the songs are really moving and beautiful, and the overall sound is without flaw
Character 10
there are many, many characters, some of them being developed more than others, but if they developed all of them it would be overwhelming, and I think all the characters were fitting.
Enjoyment 10
what an outstanding show! For some reason, it reminded me of Star Wars. Well, I think it had many similarities to Star Wars. Some of the music, a lot of the technology elements, fight of good vs. evil, etc. if you like or have seen Star Wars, you'll probably notice it too, and that was just the cherry on top of the delicious cake haha
TLDR: if you haven't seen this anime, SEE THIS ANIME
