It's Nunnally, did you forget? And this ties into a chunk of Lelouch's story where he doesn't want to see what happened to Euphemia happen to Nunnally.

What the heck is a Code Geass
- Thread starter Gundam
- Start date
But they do.
Code Geass's story is much deeper than most Gundam imo. Also you should watch the OVA Akito the Exiled. So good.
Yes. R2 is a massive trainwreck and the best example of a writer just coming up with stuff that sounded cool without checking if they made any sense.
Same. I really don't like mecha anime, but Code Geass is a really great anime, so good even that I was invested in all that mecha stuff!
I just finished the first series this week.
I was never a fan of the character designs, but after seeing some of the mecha designs over the years I decided to finally watch it.
It was entertaining but some of the twists and characterizations were just bullshit, especially in season 2.
Trying go decide if it's worth watching the sequels now.

This reminded me that I remember there being rumbling about a season 3 a while ago that I completely forgot about, but it turns out it's actually just a sequel to the movie adaptations (with an alternate timeline) and never actually existed to begin with. What the hell?
The two most brilliant masterminds on the show believe spending 8 turns to move the king into the middle of the board in a midgame chess match is a sound strategy.
Seems like a sound analogy for the show

It's dumb but perfect for a weekend binge since you'll only remember the major plot points and forget alle the stupid details in between. R2 is insanely dumb and nonsensical sometimes, but the end is top tier.
That said, it's one of my top 10 anime and I will never rewatch it because 10 years later, I'll probably be way more bothered by the plot holes and I prefer it staying a pleasant memory.

When have the combined brains of anime fans ever been anything anyone should trust
OP, I'm about to issue you a standard Bright Noah slap- Code Geass is pretty great.
And compared to IBO, it's greater. Also, season 2 falters a bit but overall it's good.
Give it a shot.

Even if season 2 is a trainwreck, the mech designs are pretty sweet. In fact I still know how most of the mechs look like but I forgot most of the story of season 2 while I could probably still outline the broad strokes of season 1.
My favorite trashy anime of all time . Crazy mood swings (from a character death to a school club episode complete to mass destruction) ridiculous one upsmanship that keeps escalating to the point where a terrible weapon that was used once ends up being used like 20x in the final battle like skittles. I personally love the mecha battles and how the craziness unfolds. It's like a much better version of Gundam Seed/Destiny with Death Note mixed in

How do we all feel about Lelouch's Gundam?
His gun is literally just two zeta beam rifles taped together
A true gold standard in anime dumb fun that can be genuinely great one moment and then hilariously bad in an almost endearing way the next (granted, that's more a season 2 thing).
Gotta go dub for Cripsin Freeman hamming it up here, JYB shenanigans, Yuri Lowenthal losing his shit on the regular and the emperor who might give you Street Fighter 4 boss beatdown flashbacks.
But you do have to endure Nunally who has the WORST english voice over, it sounds like a parody of the character.

It's the first time I heard of the magnificent bastard trope. It is absolutely ridiculous yet very entertaining. I really had a hard time believing such a show existed while it played out before me. So incredibly anime lol.
It's almost like Fuckery: The Anime.
(Which is even more hilarious when you find out the writers were just winging it.)
I do like the fact that you can actually see significant improvements in tech as the series goes on.
But yeah, it's a ride.

Like Knightmares going from ground-based units, to the important ones finally achieving flight, and then all the grunt units being able to fly towards the end of the series.
Not to mention CRAZY improvements in weaponry. *coughNUKEScough*

There is one scene (those who have watched it know) that gets me very sad and upset that happens to a character. However this character's fate is rectified in the movie trilogy canon. Overall it is entertaining and fun. Lelouch is a great character.
Fun fact... Goro Taniguchi is one of my all-time fave directors.
Loved what he did juggling shows with rich ensemble casts rife with over-the-top melodrama in both Infinite Ryvius and Planetes.
I also adore high quality dubs... trashy anime serials... and shrimp on pizza.
I have not watched Code Grass.
I should rectify this error, correct?

It's the poster child for dumpster fire anime, but it can be very entertaining. I'd recommended to watch it drunk or with like minded friends so you can all laugh at the absurdity of it.
It's a political thriller more than a super robot show. Also, lots of high school hijinx.
I wouldn't call it a good political thriller, but it's dumb enough that it's fun.

It is about a boy who rebels against an evil Empire by uniting the Japanese against them but his best friend also works for said Empire which causes lots of drama and fiction. He also has the power to control minds.
Season 1 is a well done thriller and Season 2 is kinda ass but is one hell of a ride and has a really well done final episode.
It and Gurren Lagann are basically the mecha anime's swan song. While there have been a handful of mechas since, those were basically the last of the genre to really become huge phenomena. It's incredibly melodramatic but the music and fairy tale-esque theming make it come off as almost play-like in its drama.
Like most mecha anime, it is a Zeta clone but definitely much more ambitious one and even then I'm only saying that because you wanted to put it on the Gundam scale.

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the fact that this show features a scene where a girl freaked herself with a table corner.
I'd highly recommend it.
Like others have said it's good but melodramatic. Operatic even.
The mechs are cool but it's not a mecha anime at its core. In he manga adaption they're removed entirely. The battles can still be fun though and during the first season they move differently the other anime mechs in that they basically have wheels and use grapple lines to climb. It gi es them a different dynamic than most other mecha battles. It was one of my favorite things about them, which unfortunately they ditched in the second season where they all just fly.
It's interesting inversion to see a mastermind schemer character as a protagonist while the good hearted kid who just wants peace becomes the antagonist, which is sold by the amazing dub.
The stick figure anime style is annoying, but you do get used to it, and it's worth pushing through.

One of my favorite anime of all time, with Lelouch being one of the most relatable characters in fiction.
Loved EVERYTHING about it.

A mere coffee table is not nearly enough to satisfy Nina, the Ravenous.
One of the greatest of not the greatest anime of all time. My personal favorite at the least. Watch season 1 and 2. They're great. The sequel movie is a continuation of recap films that have some major plot differences and is basically dependent on the viewer having nostalgia for the franchise so if you watch right after you probably won't like it. Wait a couple years, watch the recap films, and then watch it. Don't watch Akito. It feels like it has potential at first but the latter half and especially the ending are awful.
