## Review: Absolute masterpiece! This anime was just incredible from beginning to end. Two seasons of 25 episodes were plentiful to develop affection for the main characters and set a meaningful plot. - Every episode had a purpose. Not too short (like those 12-episode series that never get a second season follow-up because the producers are too rushed to meet deadlines) and not too long either (like Naruto, which is often delayed with needless fillers to buy time), it contained the right mixture of all the elements that make a successful story:
*A Mecha, sci-fi, action-packed thriller like the GUNDAM trilogy, but down to earth and doesn't contain excessively boring politics. ** Not to mention, it has a much more diversified and catchy playlist of background songs, going on most of the time to keep scenes interesting. Most episodes ended on cliffhangers, making it hard to predict what would happen next. ***Includes occasional humorous comic-relief moments and a school life focus to contrast with the high-intensity battles. ****A hint (not too much) of romance involving very attractively sketched female leads, which us male Otakus can fetishize and want to Waifu.
Graphics are unusually impressive for anime that got released in 2006. Most other series from that time pale in comparison to the graphics that can be produced today. ****** A stunning conclusion poses many rhetorical questions regarding the status of the protagonist. Many of the metaphors that were implemented throughout the series converge at the end. Although the many years of fanatic debate eventually ended with the release of the movie in 2019, ******* It helped me personally when I was struggling in high school with poor grades, parent pressure, and peer bullying.
I was even considering suicide at one point, around the end of 2010 or early 2011. When I came across the Death Note manga in my school library, read all the books, then went on to watch DN, followed by Code Geass shortly afterwards, my entire life changed. These two shows (arguably the greatest animes ever, which can be compared in many ways) lifted my spirit out of depression. The influence of watching them revolutionized the way I approached problem solving. I went from rock bottom to making the school honor roll, getting straight A's in math (my favorite subject at the time), and eventually getting a degree in math in 2017.
Lelouch also got me hooked on playing chess; I went from noob to national master in just 4 years. Nothing is perfect, but this is probably among the closest that you can get. Need I say any more? If you are feeling bad because of the pandemic (or whatever reason), do yourself a favor and watch Code Geass!!! God bless Goro Taniguchi for making this happen. Well, I am someone who really enjoys watching animes where the protagonist is just an ordinary guy, leading an ordinary life, when suddenly one day, out of nowhere, he gains supernatural powers, which makes his mind twisted.
So I think "CODE GEASS" fits perfectly into the category of my favorite anime list. The main protagonist, who is Lelouch, is now one of my favorite characters after Light Yagami. His way of plotting things—the way he thinks so calmly and confidently and calculates everything accordingly before his every move—is what makes him so interesting. This anime is just like a game of chess, where if you make even the slightest mistake, you will surely be doomed. I won't say much about this anime since I don't want to give any spoilers.
So if you are someone who still hasn't watched this anime yet and you are looking for animes that are similar to Death Note, then this anime is just for you. Just go and watch it, and do yourself a favor.
