Before I start this review please dont read the description infact dont even read this review there arent any spoilers but reading these spoils just that much more of Code Geass. Dont understand the premise dont even look at the pictures I guess that cant be helped dont understand anything just jump straight into it you wont be dissapointed. Code Geass is a masterpiece in the true sense of the word and I dont even throw the word around. I would rate it much higher than 93 I have only Fate/Zero rated at 93 if it werent for some very tiny and maybe even insignificant problems but while writing a review I cant overlook anything. But we will get to that in a bit. If you are still sticking around then lets get down to it. Artwork and Animation 18/20 The Artwork of Code Geass CG from now on out is aged and withering that is not to say its bad its not it just isnt in tune with what we watch over here in 2014 CG was released in 2006 almost 8 years back. The artwork is much more realistic mature and hardy which gives its own special flavor to the series. I think the original shock of a new artwork really only lasts the first 5 minutes after that it doesnt really matter since you will be too sucked in to give a crap. The character models are also great. At first you would probably think that the legs are too long not Special A long but they arent they are in tune with reality. The faces are also very well done especially C.C pronounced C2 and Leouchs. http://i.ur.com/OXiXfro.jpg http://i.ur.com/57v2Vgb.jpg Of course how can I forget mechas? Well mechas back in the day didnt look and move the way they do now but they are still very good Im not a mecha fan so i wont comment on this further you decide. http://i.ur.com/EsbzClu.jpg http://i.ur.com/rIPmm6Y.jpg The general animation and artwork is also topoftheworld quality and I dont say it lightly. The blood and particle effects if can call it that are quite something. The uncensored scenes really get your blood flowing. http://i.ur.com/Z6Jt1HO.jpg The environment is also quite beautifulit isnt eyegaping good but it will make you look twice. The art section also shines in the way of fanservice there is fanservice at opportune moments but it isnt overdone and is kept low think 45 scenes over 25 episodes which means while you wont be looking at breasts all day long you also wont be running along to type omg code geass hentai on Google Images. Oh course there is the occasional Pizza Hut sign which is annoying advertisement but atleast it isnt overdone and I can understand budget constrains. Im fine with ads as long as they dont go out of their way to get in my face. Music and Sound18/20 The voice acting is a success. Voices are more than enough convincing and confident. The environment sounds were also very good and contributed greatly to the scenes. That said all is not well in the music department. The OP01 colors by Flow is just goddamned magic from the skies it is by far the best OP I ever heard. The second time I heard it I just watched it over and over six times and even then I wasnt finished. See thats why I said I wish I could rate higher. Seeing how great the section has been so far I would have called it brilliant but the problem with writing objective reviews is this All the OPs and EDs are equal one good OP doesnt negate a shit OP. That said OP02 was meh at best and OP03 which showed up like twice was utter crap. The EDs were all to the tune of meh well compared to Colors anyways they were. cZ7zQbMxm28 Story 19/20 The story in Code Geass is downright brilliant. As much as I like to say that a story cant be perfect I guess Im just going to have to concede this one. CG starts off very strong and keeps making an even stronger story with some respite at ep06 which was just some sort of comedy ep and then never ever lets up. There are no flashback episodes and there are no fillers CG just marches over anything and everything with its solid plotline. Sure there are some things which are never explained but they can be explained most of the time with simple deductive reasoning. Why would you EVER want a series to explain EVERYTHING to you? Which I guess is another good thing about CG It forces you to use your brain. The story isnt a hand me down and you have to hold your concentration to engage in CG. It isnt as ridiculously hard to grasp as KSnH and it is also much more rewarding if you grasp it. The division of focus in CG allows for a greater variety of support and CG never once favours one side over the other despite Lelouchs skill he isnt a god and has to retreat quite often. One thing I found weird about CG is that even though it revolves around the power of Geass the Geass is almost always used subtextually. Sure there are times when it is used on screen but most of the time you just have to chalk it down to lelouch using it in the background. Characters 19/20 http://i.ur.com/6TKfB8s.jpg The characters in CG are....amusing. I found that there is absolutely no character in the entire series that didnt get a great amount of development other than the very very far off supporting crew that appear as often as villager A. Let that sink in for a while. Every single character has a backstory every single character changes and every single one of them goes nuts. Which is the correct thing to do when your country gets blown to shit. I found some of the characters annoying to the point I hoped a KnighMare crashed into them and they just die already. Now that isnt necessarily a bad thing because the point is the characters managed to squeeze a response from me a bad response admittedly but a response nevertheless. Which means I at some point connect with the character that will be negatively effected by the actions of the annoying character in question. How is that a bad thing? Also the amount of Yuri around a certain someone is so much that the entire series turns into /u/ while she is on the screen. Enjoyment 19/20 Code Geass is by far quite enjoyable. It never has a boring moment it never feels drawn out and it just continues to surprise you at every turn of the way. Oh and no cliffhangers in any episode you know except the last ep which would have been annoying when the second season was yet to air but over here in 2014 it just gives you that NEED to get the fuck off your couch and get the second season rolling already. So yeah total is 93/100 which makes it the second best thing I ever watched. In case it isnt evident already go watch it unless you hate anything exciting and fun. http://i.ur.com/Pc7bzpl.jpg
