I'll start in order. First off the story. I didn't detect, any problems with the way the plot was moving. Of course, this anime is dramatic, and most of the things occuring in the anime will probably never appear in real life, but hey, that didn't get in the way of me enjoying the anime.
Kami (ha!) was not kind to Lelouch, and the rest of the characters in in anime, and I have purposely skipped over painful scenes many times during the process of rewatching. But watching Lelouch rise up from all of the pain and hurt inflicted on him was a sight to behold!
No matter how many times i watch code geass I never seem to get tired of lloyd's insanity, C.C's stonedness (yea...), And last but not least, Lelouch's genius, and addicting dramatic entries, and poses.
Unlike a few people out there, animation and quality really matter to me, so that usually restrains me from watching any anime that stems from a date before 2008. But Code Geass will always live in my heart as one of the better anime, even when the animations are from... surprisingly 2005. I believe that one of the reasons why this anime succeeded as a mecha, was because they didn't focus on the Knightmare all that much unless they were moving. All of the work was directed towards the characters' eyes, and I have noticed that the unique and sharp design of the eyes, really affected the level of my enjoyment. Yes, somehow a lot of emotion leaks from them.
I enjoyed the voice actors very much ( expecially Yukana-san
