Code Geass is pretty darn epic. It makes you want to join the fight, but at the same time, question which side you should be on.
I think the set up of the story is incredibly well thought through and each character plays an important roll whether it's to go help fight the fight or give others the encouragement and tools they need to go fight the fight.
Lelouch is (in my humble opinion) one of the greatest characters in all of anime. The most appealing qualities about him are his quick mind, his emotional strength, and his passion to do what he thinks is right.
Even though, I chose just to write a small paragraph about Lelouch, I could easily write a whole paper on each of the main characters and their relationships with one another and how it contributes to the story.
Besides the plot and the characters, the fighting sequences are amazing and the animation style has it's own uniqueness to it.
My only complaint is about the few flashes of nudity. They weren't terrible and I know for anime it's pretty normal, but it didn't add anything to the story. It was just there purely for fan service and I ain't about that life.
However, don't let that turn you away. Code Geass is on it's way to becoming an all time anime classic and I would re-watch it in a heartbeat.
