Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is a story about a boy who was a prince of a superpower nation, until his Mother's untimely assassination. Lelouch had to live in Area 11 (Japan), and because of his royal status, was treated horribly by the Elevens (Japanese). His only goal is to make a better world for his sister Nunnally, and to find what really happened to his mother.
The story is totally original, full of uncertainty at times, funny when it can, and really dramatic. A+.
Art:
Another wonder of Code Geass is it's character designs. What really blew me away are the designs of the Knightmare Frames, a big essential piece of the Code Geass puzzle. Everything just seems to fit in.
Sound:
Code Geass has the best background music of all times. Most are sung by the ever talented, Hitomi. The staff definitely knew when to put these awesome tracks. It's first Opening, Colors, was a hit for me. The dramatic scenes and the introduction of new characters had it really well. Next was Kaidoku Funou, another success. A+. The English dub of the series was another win, i really liked Lelouch's dub, Cornelia's dub and Lloyd's dub the most. Everyone else was ok. Japanese version was (of course) excellent.
Characters:
Well, you got the former Prince of the Britannian Empire, a green-haired Pizza loving witch, A "Sasuke" like clone who fights for Britannia (Suzaku), and the table-humping mad scientist (Nina). A well-mixed group of people. The staff balanced out the different kinds of characters fairly well.
Overall:
Code Geass is a show you MUST see, whether or not you watch it in English or Japanese, it's just win. There aren't alot of good shows out there anymore, so savor this one up. Make sure to watch the sequel!
