I know this show has been reviewed to death, but I'm going to try to write an honest review. I'll get straight to the points:

ADDICTIVENESS- 10. It's hard to stop watching the show, it does a good job of compelling you to watch the next episode. That's not enough to make the show good, but it's something.

STORY - 3 The similarity with death note is the characters have different philosophies, but what they want is ultimately a good world, a good thing (they just have different ideas of how to get there). Unfortunately, I think the twists in this story go ... way to far, and the main character does atrocious things for selfish reasons. We see characters twisted by their trauma, sometimes in an almost elfen leid kind of way.

CHARACTERS -3. There are some pretty fleshed out characters, but this is a show that takes things too far and gives us characters to hate. At first, you can kind of understand him and where he's coming from, but he takes things too far and doesn't consider alternatives. If you like to have a character you can hate, then Lelouch you. The rest of us will be repulsed.

Music - 10. The way they used music is one of the best things about the show. Excellent job.

Art - 10. I'm not overly critical of art - it was good and enjoyable.

Overall enjoyment - 0. You end up hating or feeling detached from almost every major character. There's nothing enjoyable about that. There are no morals to be learned, and ultimately nothing to redeem the downhill this show takes.
