**Review Edited, Completed Series - DO NOT READ MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.* (Last review, i admit, i let my love for Geass conflict my review into being bias. Things have changed)

Story - 8.0/10 (B-)
Well, it takes place after the failed Black Rebellion. Zero has been supposedly killed, Suzaku becomes a member of the Knight of Rounds, and Kallen still is loyal to her Zero. The first episode feels like the first episode of the first season, dunno if it's good or bad however the introduction of Rolo, Lelouch's brother, brings some needed drama into the show. Afterwards, after all the corruption, conspiracies, Schneizel and the F.L.E.I.J.A warhead attack, things seem to really get odd. Suddenly, people are dying for almost no reason, people are magically coming back alive, and then Schneizel. It all feels too jumbled up, kinda like watching way too many soap operas. The ending is really not so good, i mean no Schneizel - Final Boss thing? But, the way Sunrise made Lelouch's death seem emotionally pulling (Yup, i shed a tear on you, Lulu.)was brilliant. It evens out the poorly-managed plot.

Animation - 9.7/10 (A)
Well the animation for Geass really got better, much better. The new Knightmares: Vincent Prototype, Shen-Hu, Guren S.E.I.T.E.N, Lancelot Albion and Shinkirou are really well designed. Like watching Gundam all over again, Code Geass gets props for such beautiful animation.

Sound - 10/10 (A+)
Beautiful. The music for Code Geass makes even Shakespeare want to wonder how it's made. Every single piece of gold (music) was beautifully executed perfectly. The final song played during the last minutes of the show, "Continued Story" by Hitomi, is a masterpiece at best.

Characters - 6.8/10 (D+)
Well, i gotta stop here. I really didn't like how they added about 12 characters an episode, kinda gave me a headache. Let's name them all shall we?: Li Xingke, Tianzi, Kaguya, Schneizel, Kanon, Rolo, Anya, Gino, Bismarck, Miss. Romeyer, Ougi, Villeta, Orange-kun (Jeremiah), Sayoko, Todou, Chigusa, Guilford, Shirley, Milly, Rivalz, Nina (Oh, god not table humper), Arthur, Lloyd, Cecile, Cornelia, V.V, Lelouch, C.C, Kallen, Suzaku and then finally..The Emperor. I probably missed a dozen more, but you get the picture.

Enjoyment - 10/10 (A+)
Though many might call it a trainwreck, i think it's the best damn trainwreck. It's so enjoyable watching every thing unfold so oddly. You can hate Code Geass yet still enjoy it. The show really has gone a long way, and i can say i want more, like a side-story or prequel. Kudos to Sunrise for excellently making a fine show.

Overall Averaged: 8/10 (B-)

The Good: Background music, much better animation than season 1 and a fitting end to a show many "enjoyed" in different ways.

The Bad: Plotholes, excess amounts of characters (even more than Naruto does) and way too much fanservice.
