My recommendation is One Outs. Now, you may be asking yourself, "Wait. How could a baseball anime possibly be ANYTHING like Code Geass?" The answer is simple--the main characters are both are master strategists who cannot be outwitted by their enemies. Tokuchi Toua has the same cold, meticulous and ruthless method of plotting as Lelouch, and he manages to outsmart even the most sinister of opponents. They are antiheroes who the viewer can vastly admire. As far as the baseball in One Outs, it's only a means of conveying Toua's talents to manipulate his opponents and predetermine how others around him will respond to a situation. Even if you don't like baseball, if you can enjoy seeing how a strategist works out his next move, you will probably like this series--perhaps even more so if you like the premise of a master gambler.
