Lelouch was the only good guy in the series if you ask me.

One of the dumbest anime series of all time that represents pretty much everything wrong that could be wrong with modern anime today.
An interesting premise completely deluded because the creators wanted to appeal to everyone so the style is all over the place, important plot points thrown away with three second explanations while dedicating an entire episode to Lelouch chasing a cat, mecha-battles that always, always, came down to someone pulling a Deus Ex Machina out of their ass and taking out the other party, only to have the next episode revealing a new Deus Ex Machina which gets taken out with a Deus Ex Machina that guess what, faces another Deus Ex Machina.
While the first season was kind of focused and actually pretty decent, the second season was just a gigantic clusterfukk of utter stupidity that's only watchable because of how hilariously bad it is. The scene where Lelouch outsmarts his brother by pre-recording a five minute video where he not only perfectly predicted what his brother would respond but also nailed the exact timing is one of the most laughable examples of lazy writing I've ever seen. And yet it is so very, very sad to see people use that scene as an example of how smart Lelouch is supposed to be.

:wut:
Suzaku > Lelouch
In terms of skill and moral character. Homie was my favorite character in the whole series

Suzaku was the ultimate c00n. Didn't like him until the very end of the series.
I aint gon front, that whole scene with Lelouch and his parents in "Purgatory"
Was single handidly the worst 20 mins of clusterfukk, unexplained plot devices, and shytty story telling I have eva witnessed in my life.
I STILL have no fukking clue what that whole thing was all about. And how this idiot was supposedly doing all of this to "avenge" his mother and get back at his dad. When in reality his Dad and Mother were actually looking out for his spoiled ass. And he decides to kill them anyway
Code Geass is a fundamentally bad anime that still manages to entertain. it doesn't take itself too seriously and its all about throwing as many mindless plot twist as possible at the viewer so there's always something to catch their eye.
really if you wanna see what Code Geass could have been watch Guilty Crown. it was written by the same team and borrows the majority of the core plot elements and characters from Code Geass but it makes Code Geass look like a Studio Ghibli film in comparison.
watching Guilty Crown made me realize the only saving grace of Code Geass is LeLouch. He's a great character and he carries that series through its highs and lows. basically he is that series like Light is Death Note. i mean honestly most anime have shytty main characters. most male protagonist are either wimps or perverts and soft as shyt. if you put a conventional anime lead at the head of Code Geass it would be borderline unwatchable. i literally had to force myself to Finish Guilty Crown because it's basically Code Geass with a conventional anime lead wimp.

I love how Lelouch's original motivation was to find the killer of his mother, then halfway through the second season they went like "Uh, so much shyt is going on, let's just say it was a character that's already died".
Code Geass had its moments, but almost all of them in the first season when the series was still trying to make sense.
This and Soul Eater were like the last widely discussed anime before the fall off of anime popularity over here in the US.
It was good it just had plot holes and got kinda silly towards the end. But each Sunday was like a event on here

The moment lelouch n sazuka got back from purgatory the storyline just went into shambles.
nikkas went for mortal enemies to co-conspirators in all of 2 mins

Yeah, that shyt was stupid but his parents were making an assimilation plot (ie. Dead Space's convergence, NGE's human instrumentality project, what happened to the anti-spirals in TTGL.)
I'd kill my parents too if they tried to do something like thatYeah, that shyt was stupid but his parents were making an assimilation plot (ie. Dead Space's convergence, NGE's human instrumentality project, what happened to the anti-spirals in TTGL.)
You gon have to explain this one to a breh
What exactly were they trying to do, and how is it any different than lelouch's original plan of world domination (he only went the good guy route AFTER the purgatory saga imo
)
Lelouch died like a sucka
