SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

missocpus I first watched Code Geass when I was 11 years old, now I am 15 and this anime is still my favorite. I know, four years is not a very long time but know this: I am a very picky person for everything. I don't watch all the most popular anime's that other people watch. Like FullMetal Alchemist. Sure its a good anime but I didn't find it that strong like Code Geass. Its not like I am trying to tell negative comments about FullMetal Alchemist, please not get it in that way. I am just comparing in my point of view. Now lets get back to Code Geass, first I want to let you all know that my love for this anime is at its over dose. And the main character Lelouch is my favorite character out of everything I saw in this world. This anime has a normal start, its not that strong. But the more you get in to the story and the more you learn about the characters, it gets intense. Like, real intense. I may be over loving this anime but when I checked the Japanese's Top 10 List of Animes I saw that I was not the only person who loved this anime. Code Geass' Season 2 stands in the second place of the list and season 1 stands in fourth. And its right, I mean this anime gets better and better with every episode it passes that in season 2 it becomes more than just an Anime for you. It doesn't messes the character personality's telling or the story line, it just gets better. And I may be a teenage girl but I'll tell you this; the boys are so sexy in this like god. Anyway *cough* this anime deserves your view. Promise, it is not a waste of time rather this anime will change your life. And mostly what I like about this anime is it gives you two options; you can see Lelouch as an evil man or you can see him as a hero. The anime doesn't determines it for you, you do. Watch it till the end, it will blow you away...

Catwings "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebelion" is an animated TV series with two parts: 25 episodes of R1 (which were televised in October, 2006), and another 25 episodes of R2 (which were televised in April, 2008) as the continuation of the story of R1. Since it's a blockbuster story where R1 combines with R2, you cannot understand the whole picture deeply enough behind the story unless you watch all the episodes from the beginning to the end. Frankly speaking, there are various drawbacks for the audience that make it difficult to get into the story and make it uninteresting. There is an undeniable sense that the feeling of depth of the story can be amplified by putting these flaws in the back of your mind and watching til the end. As a Japanese person and an anime fan, the following factors may distract you.Japan, with valuable underground resources, has war proclaimed on it by other countries looking for those resources, and Japan is defeated in the process. - Britannia, the opponent to Japan, sounds like an encyclopedia. - Despite the serious story, the country names used in the story are funny somehow such as; the United Federation of Nations, or the United States. - The characters including the protagonist are unrealistically beautifully, good -looking with big breasts. - It cannot be envisaged it as anything else but a Pizza Hut (home delivery pizza) and Biglobe (an Internet provider in Japan) sponsored production; overpromotion in the story. - The opening and ending songs change frequently, along with the hyper-commercial tie-up can come and go. So some of the songs are mis-chosen. - Too much fanservice of the female battle scenes, etc.It is hard to get into the story by these conspiratorial subliminals that the producer elaborately tries to implicate into the story, so it may be difficult to enjoy the story purely. For example, imagine if all every country could wage war on China because it had rare metals? Because of this, and in order to find it more interesting, I watched R1 in the original version, and R2 with the English dub. However, it took long time to finish the episodes.The story is about a fictional world, that is similar to our own world, but Japan has been conquered by the Holly Britannia, which controls about 1/3 of all over the world, Japan is defeated, and renamed as "Area 11". Japanese people are derogated as "Elevens", whilst being deprived of their freedom, and they are completely controlled by Britannia. Lelouch and Suzaku Kururugi, who are childhood friends, decide to go their separate paths after the devastating defeat of Japan. Lelouch gains the power of force absolute compliance, called "Geass" by C.C., an immortal girl, and he seeks his justice, using the power of his Geass as an masked anti-hero, whilst Suzaku joins the Britannian army in order to infiltrate the system from the inside. It invokes a world war involving with other union armies. It's all done for Lelouch's sister, Nunnally, and for world peace. There are various kinds of Geass in the story; the power to read others' mind, the power to read just a few seconds of the future, the power to stop time etc.Lelouch is a genius, also a top-drawer chess player, and knows a move or two. Being such a perfectionist, he can manipulate his Geass and tries to change the world as he sees fit. Thus, it may be dull to see such a perfect figure in the first half of the R1 story. It may seen boring until after the first 10 episodes or so. The first turning point is the ending of the episode 14 of R1. It is the scene where the perfectionist, Lelouch uses his Geass for his own emotional affair for the first time. And, there's also the tragedy of episode 13 of R2.... I somewhat like Shirley story and Rolo's stories. And more than anything, the last of R2. Even though I keep throwing dirt at the story, I got into the story around the middle of R2. The last episode reverses everything. Everything wisely reads ahead just like the moves of chess. Cool!

oranui56 I was't much of a fan of Code Geass R1, I never even watched the whole thing because I thought it was a passable show at best. So I skipped to this one to see if things got more exiting. But this sequel is absolutely bad. I watched about 4 episodes and it got worse and worse as it went on. There is a ridiculous amount of plot twists and deus ex machinas that defy logic in ways that insult your intelligence. The plot twist aren't very good, they feel forced and from those 4 episodes I did watch, there was one or more each episode and they really are just silly. The deus ex machine is even worse in my opinion, I probably can't list them all here since I haven't watched the whole thing, but when things two people using their Geases (I think that's how it is in plural form, I'm really not sure) to somehow STOP TIME, you know that something is very wrong with this show. I've read what happens at the end, and honestly, it's just completely idiotic, I won't say to avoid spoilers but there is no reason it should of ended that way, it was just an excuse to be "dramatic" when they were just being silly as usual. Not worth your time, I wouldn't even recommend R1, even if it is better, it's just mediocre, even if it looks magnificent in comparison to this.

Dejan K The Show starts with a 10 out of 10. Shocking, Amazing beginning. Unlike anything I've ever seen. Midway is a 8/10. The final episodes of season one fall to a 7/10. Then we come to the second season, 7/10 at best because the main character's whole journey is anticlimactic. Season 2 dips to a 6/10 at times, though the finale is a 10/10. In both seasons, things happen that are just irritating. Characters aren't used to their full potential. Beloved characters are killed off for shock value when they could have been used more effectively if they weren't killed off. Oh, but you see, just when you think a character is dead, you find out they are alive, but the writers do nothing major with that information and things continue as they were before. Then you think that the same character is dead once again for a few episodes, only to find out a few episodes later that the character actually survived. Wow, you say to yourself: "Why do I care about these characters again?". You watch a whole bunch of pointless battles with no clear person to root for and ask yourself: "Why am I watching this show again?" "What's the point to all these battles?" "Why am I finding myself hating and loving everyone at the same time?" "Why do I have no one to root for?" "Why is there no clear good guy and no clear bad guy?" "Why is everyone's reason for fighting so stupid?" Then you try to console yourself and justify these questions by telling yourself the show was made for a thinker, an intellectual like yourself, so you praise the shows attempts at symbolism and metaphor: "Ah, what a work of art; the pointless battles must symbolize the pointless nature of violence" and "Ah, the lack of good guy versus bad guy is intentional to reflect the unclear nature of morality, which lies in shades of gray, of course". But then you get to the final journey, the answer everyone has been looking for, and the answer doesn't satisfy you nor the main character. Then you just get angry at how dumb the show is and how dumb the main character is and how pointless the whole journey is. Then you just mindlessly watch the next episodes just to see how it ends. Ah, good ending, very emotional, you cry, the ending wins you over and you think "Maybe I was too hard on this show"; then your tears make you forget everything you previously hated about the show and you rate it a 10/10 on IMDb. Fool. I won't make the same mistake.
