Okay first off i want to say that first the only reason I watched this series is because it was recommended to me because I had seen Guilty Crown, and honestly i feel like i have a much higher appreciation for this series because I had watched it.
Also this review is for both R1 and R2.
After watching this series it immediately made it to my number 1 favorite series.
First the story, and yes I'm going to try to not hint at any spoilers. This story in a single word would be wow. From the first episode the series never drops the ball. Like i said
...
before i had watched Guilty Crown before this so i wasn't really sure what to expect, and when C.C. originally gave him the power of the Geass, I had thought to myself "that's it?" but I've never been so wrong. Yes it may not be as cool as Guilty Crown's "Power of the King", but the ability to give any order with total obedience couldn't be better fitted then to Lelouch. The series is filled with twists and turns always wanting to watch the next episode. Its a great mix of story and action with the Knightmares. At the end of season 1 you will immediately want to start the 2nd season.
Next the music, this is really the only thing ill gripe about, I feel like there wasn't enough. Really all i can say about this one.
Characters. This series does an amazing job both with the writing for each character and the voice acting (I've only watched the subbed version). Lelouch is an awesome character. He has so many sides, just when you think you know or understand him, he throws a curve ball and shows you a new side. He can go from cold and calculating, to caring, to off the deep end upset and that's just a normal day for Lelouch. I feel like so many series fall short with screen time between main and supporting characters but this one does it right. Never do you see a relationship spark up and die in the same episode, or random people show up and then are gone the next episode. They start and finish with roughly the same group of characters. Each of the supporting characters get a decent amount of screen time and story around them.
Enjoyment. I've already started to rewatch the series, do i need to say more?
Overall this is now my favorite series. Perfect mix of characters and story. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll be on the edge of your seat begging for more.
