It was a bunch of guys that told me to watch this one year ago. I checked out pictures and read the summary. I didn't like it. Maybe if I was a guy, then all this robotic stuff would be appealing.
It was not until this girl told me to watch it that I decided to give it a shot. And I did. And I loved it.
Its so original. So addicting. I mean the openings and closings addicted me (mozaeku kakera... love it). It just so good ppl. Those ppl who r reading these reviews to determine whether or not to watch, WATCH IT DAMNIT. It's amazing. Dude, even ure these girlish romance-loving ppl. It's amazing. It has soo many WOW momentss. I love the idea of friends fighting against each other and not realizing it. and the shirley-lelouch thing is so cute. Everything in it was so good!
I never thought that an animation is able to create a character and make you feel for them. but this one changed my idea (this is the 2nd anime ive seen). And I also thought ive outgrown falling in love with Anime characters.. but Suzaku changed that idea (sorry Yufie)
--the only thing keeping me from giving it a 10 is that there are a lot of military terms, and lots of fighting. I didnt understand what was happening during the fighting most of the time, but i survived watching it without. BUT OTHER THAN THAT- loved it to death.
You know what would be epic? if this anime was turned into a live-action film or TV show with japanese ppl being japanese and the Britannians being Caucasians. I swear thats a good idea. Don't you agree??
