Such a sad and violent story. Filled with death and decay, yet I enjoy it so much.
This anime fits perfectly into my descpription of a good anime. It forces you to think hard after every episode, make theories what the Zero's next step will be and completely devote youreself to it while watching. The political critisicm(atleast I think it is) in this show is huge. I draw parallels to the colonisation of the world, lead by Brittain and other European countries, that lead to the first world war. This is almost exactly what happened in Code Geass.
The story in this show is so twisting ... and turning that I never once knew what was going to happen. The thing is, it's so well thought through that the most obscure things can happen and still it fits in to the story. Truly a masterpiece.
The art is typical CLAMP, very tall and majestic. I find nothing wrong in this, but it's not my favourite kind of animation. Therefore the 8
The fate of the characters are intertwined in such a way that you wonder how the hell they managed to make this. There is a thin line between masterpiece and crazy and how CLAMP did the characters is so close to cross it. So much emotion is shown in the action of the characters that it will probably make you cry. Hate and insanity is very common among the many outstanding characters in Code Geass so if you don't like that you can skip it. Yet somehow, in the middle of all the bloodshed, they manage to squeeze in some love. They did it in such a way that proves that this anime isn't all darkness and hate.
Overall this series is horrible and dark with a glimt of light at the end of the tunnel. Fighting to protect what you love with all means possible.
