Gundam Seed in my favourite anime. However, if I had watched Code Geass first, I would not be sure which of the two I would choose. Despite the initial assumed similarities, the progression is still unique. Here are the comparisons, but I think it's better to see for yourself. THE BATTLE: Unlike Gundam Seed, Code Geass focuses on the strategical aspects of the battle, not just at the different designs and capabilities of the Mechas. Definitely a satisfying watch for the logic crazies. PHILOSOPHY: The different perspectives about war and the world are covered in both, but only Code Geass managed a definite resolution (although it might be a grey area, yet genius-ly executed). SUPER "POWER": While we have the Seed which leans toward Sci-fi, Code Geass leans more towards the fantasy side. CHARACTERS: There's no doubt you can draw many parallels in each of the characters and their relationship however Code Geass' character development sets them apart; it cleverly ties down to the plot/plan. Initially, I was upset with how similar it all started out but it soon proves to be a different story on its own. If you ever find yourself disagreeing, then comfort yourself with this: I saw from a review that rather than "copy", Code Geass was inspired by Gundam Seed. After all, they're both by Sunrise Studios, so I expect nothing less than terrific and clever. Both series went beyond my expectations.
