To start of the Story is good however it only got a seven in my opinion because it for me left a few blanks, for example why if some characters like Malcal/Malkal have a geass is there symbol different to that of Lelouch, Charles, C.C, V.V from the original code geass and even Shin from Akito the Exiled. Are they going to be artificial Geass like Jeremiahs who knows similarly the story seemingly has appeared out of nowhere in my opinion and could of had a bit more introduction however it isn't too bad considering they are technically Movies where after all 4 are made will total around 3-4 hours of story which may later be filled in.
The Art (9) is the same as from the original and that made me so happy and this art style suits the atmosphere perfectly. Similarly the soundtrack (8) is amazing however it is rated lower than art purely because I don't focus massively on the music especially during big battles where i'm too focused on the action.
Characters (8-9) are very good, Malcal is sympathetic towards the Japanese (elevens) even though she is an exiled Britainian and in a land where they dislike the japanese and send to battle with near to no care for there safety one general said something along the line of "they have seppoku and kamikaze what is wrong with sending a nation of death to die" (not exact quote). Akito is still mysterious to me, at one point being called the ghost hannibal and he seemingly has a geass or is under the effect on one at this time (unknown as to which it is though) and Shin who I believe will be the main antagonist for the rest of the series simillarly has a Geass and this is unique as in the original over than Mao and at one point Charles and Bismark later on it was very rare for Lelouch to be in direct conflict with someone who had a Geass and that was what gave him an advantage.
Enjoyment in my opinion is the personal rating of the show and i gave it a nine purely because I loved this episode and it just got my mind pumping with Ideas as to what will happen next.
Overall it got an 8 but if I wasn't trying to be slightly professional I would give it a 1000000000000000 (whatever number that may be)
