Code Geass definitely surpassed my expectations. Throughout the anime, this includes the first and second season I felt a lot of emotions both good and bad towards many of the characters and situations at hand.

Sometimes I question if what unfolded in the anime was really so necessary, but to contradict myself I feel everything that happened, happened for a reason. Everything was a stepping stone for what would happen in the end. The ending at first seems plain and simple, at least it did to me until I went to reddit forums questioning the ending and what this would mean concerning Lelouch and his ... actions. And through that I am able to appreciate this great story, filled with at first simple, run of the mill self-righteous characters, ambitious characters, etc who all had reasons of doing what they did. Although I still don't like some of the characters for wronging Lelouch (my king)! I can still learn to appreciate them and their role in this whole scheme of sorts...

Code Geass started with a boy wanting vengeance for his mother's death and creating a better, gentler world for his younger disabled sister, but in some ways or another ended in that way but the way to it was not what I expected.

Also, the subtleties of such mundane things like the title and the ending of the anime is really what makes this anime so great, it like easter eggs which you have to look very hard to find and understand, which hold much deeper meanings then what meets the eyes at first.

And might I add the soundtracks are chef's kiss!

Overall, great story with great and complex characters who make you rethink it all after giving it a second glance and would definitely recommend to watch!

in short i LOVE this anime with my whole heart <333


story: 10
jujutsu kaisen's story has a good flow that doesn't make you lose your interest. it wasn't something confusing to get into and you also did not have to wait too long to get into the action. i think it made you wait long enough to be curious of what was going to happen, but not too long that you'd get bored quickly. and everything was just incorporated into the right time, which made you want to see more and continue on to the next episode. moving on, it was not something fully unique as ... it was obviously inspired by other classic anime before it. but the execution of jujutsu kaisen is perfect. it takes the template given too them by past anime and improves and develops upon it, to create a better version of what was already there, with it's own spin of course.

art: 10
the art was definitely something unique in my opinion. maybe i haven't watched enough anime, but i really liked it and thought of it to be appealing. the art is consistent throughout the show. there is never a time in the anime where i though the animation was lackluster or declining. truthfully, the art gets better with each passing episode. it never failed to pass my expectations.

sound: 10
the seiyuu's were able to perfectly convey the characters. to elaborate, i feel like they did a very good job and that their voices really matched the characters they had. not only were the seiyuu's an awesome fit, but also the sound and soundtrack. i think the tempo and beat matched well with the fights or the situation that was occurring in the world of jujutsu kaisen. the background music was able to set a perfect mood for the audience that either got us excited to see what was going to happen next or suspect something bad was unfolding. also we cannot forget the amazing soundtrack both the new and old op and ed. they were all very memorable to stuck out to a lot of people including myself.

character: 10
the characters in this anime are also like the soundtrack very memorable. each have their own story and reasoning of being where they are and doing what they want. they were very realistic characters with their own motives and goals in life. this includes the supporting cast too, they also had their own backgrounds like the main. and i'm glad they were not there just to be a doormat for the main, but had a reasoning to be where they were, whether it be big or small. and when facing dire situations they reacted in a way fit to them and faced repercussions and consequences due to that. and from that they were able to internally grow and develop as characters. at the beginning it may seem that the characters are generic but as the story progress so do the characters in it, whether it be the heros or the villains. now going to the villains, they were written in a way which i didn't expect and is unique to them. but other than that, i have grown to love all the characters due to their amazing personality and their driven mindset.

enjoyment: 10
when watching jujutsu kaisen, it made me feel like i was with them and feeling all the happiness and sadness they felt. and after finishing an episode, I would be so excited for the next episode. it truly made me feel very happy when watching it. and when i completed the series, i felt empty because i had no more weekly jujutsu kaisen episodes to look forward to. it was definitely memorable and i loved it due to fun and refreshing characters. and i feel like getting the manga to see what happens next, but i'm broke so i'll just have to wait for the next season and the movie. but i with my whole heart love this anime. and i feel like words cannot describe how i feel in whole about jujutsu kaisen, all i can say is that it's perfect in all senses. jujutsu kaisen is something that will stick with me for a long time and i consider to be a masterpiece.

overall: 10
jujutsu kaisen is chefs kiss! it definitely lives up to the hype and if you are looking for an action pact, bad ass, and lowkey "horror" and comedy anime then i would recommend jujutsu kaisen!!!
