There is a reason why Lelouch vi Britannia is considered to be arguably the greatest anime character of all time. As this is the sequel to the 2006 anime, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 is definitely worth the watch.

Story= 10/10. What is justice? Is there such a thing in war? Are the despicable means that terrorists use really not worth it in the end? More specifically, do the ends justify the means? This anime portrays the harrowing concept of war perfectly through all its horrors, more specifically through the experiences and broken relationships of those in the front lines. The way this anime is able to make its viewers look up towards heroic characters is mind-blowing. This anime shows the emotional roller coaster of what it means to be a true hero, one that wears a mask, a facade.

Art= 10/10. May not be the most beautiful compared to some other works, but is definitely outstanding compared to other anime of its time and of today.

Sound= 10/10, Nothing screams 'Military' or 'War' or 'Loss' more than the glorious soundtrack of Code Geass: R2. It is amazing, heartbreaking, and filled with emotion and drama.

Character= 9/10. I honestly, for a lack of better words, do not think there is an anime character I dislike more than Suzaku Kururugi because of how stupid he is. His character is poorly written when he should have been able to figure out the fact that his best friend is not entirely at fault for their problems. Suzaku's whole "I'll stop this violence with more violence!" ideology is another reason why I dislike him. In fact, there are many lovable and loathsome characters in this show. Also, there is way too much 'teasing the ship' between Lelouch and C.C; I really hope those two are shown as an official couple in season 3.

Enjoyment= 10/10. This anime was very psychological in a way; "I've got a plan for your plan for my plan for your plan." I love that, especially in action/military stories where the main character is trying to anticipate the moves of his enemies while they're doing the same thing. I was hooked onto this anime from season 1 to the end. Code Geass became my all time favorite show.

Overall- 10/10. Code Geass is a masterpiece and will forever have a very special place in my heart as my #1 favorite anything, really; there are no anime's, movies, video games, TV shows, sports, musicians, or books that can even come close to how much I love this show.

Also, I recommend watching this anime in the English dub; the casting and voice acting is also my #1 favorite with Lelouch having my favorite voice actor, Johnny Yong Bosch! This is coming from someone who watches anime in Japanese 90% of the time.
