Story: This story is without a doubt the greatest thing I've ever experienced. The concept of all the secrecy and involvement of Lelouch's friends is very interesting, and it's not very often you find a very popular anime about rebellion against a kingdom in a modern world that is taking over everywhere. My realization of how wonderful the story is handled came along towards the end.
Art: I'm not much one to take into account an anime series' animation style, but it is indeed very good looking.
Sound: Again, I don't really compare musical scores to different anime series, but some of this series' ending and opening themes were particularly good.
Character: Now this is another reason that makes it so amazing, the character development. It's rather amazing to look back at the first episode and see how much it's all changed. The interaction between the characters because of the story elements is truly different, and I have yet to see anything that is better at this. There is one part of the series involving Lelouch using the Geass on someone, and it was just so non-stereotypical in the way the events turn out it amazed me.
Enjoyment: This series is very enjoyable, mostly because of the story. The endings of individual episodes were also more enjoyable than most other series, as there were a lot of cliff hanger endings that left me awake until two in the morning just because I NEEDED to know what happened. This series really just had a lasting effect of amazing. Every time I've tried to describe the ending to my friends, honestly, the only words that come to me are "amazing" and "wow". This series definitely must be watched by anyone.
