Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch

I suspected that Code Geass would align with my tastes. I adore works with elements of strategy, rivalry, or superpowers. Disappointed by the ending of Death Note, I turned to it to improve my mood. However, Code Geass didn't intend to be just a "band-aid" for long and quickly found a separate place in my heart, remaining one of the most important productions for me until now. Why have I watched it three times already, and why am I so enthralled by it? # Characters

There are plenty of them, and each has their own ideas and goals. Their personalities are clearly defined, and each behaves in accordance with how they were written, yet they can still surprise us with their decisions. Moreover, there are no characters here who are evil just for the sake of being evil. "Everyone simply wants to find a bit of happiness," as was said in one of the episodes. It is what pushes us in a specific direction. The problem is that our directions differ from each other.
Even supporting characters are intriguingly written. I didn't feel like they were fillers; I wasn't angry that i didn't see what Lelouch was doing at the moment. Instead, I joyfully watched their actions.

Emotions

I'm also full of admiration for how feelings were portrayed. I felt that behind every facial expression, there was depth, anger was genuine anger, and despair was genuine despair. The emotions were presented so beautifully that it felt like I was reading the work of masters of psychological prose. However emotions aren't the primary focus here, as in Evangelion, and we don't get as many of them, but in return, we get a more intricate, clearer plot and a smile on our faces because Code Geass can also be funny. # Animation The animation is unconventional, and not everyone will like it, but it must be admitted that the women in it look great.

Conclusion

It's the perfect production for people seeking something deeper than the silly, lewd comedies that flood the anime market nowadays. You can also view it as a break from more depressing creations because it offers more than just a feeling of sadness; it present a lighter form without diminishing the weight of the message and depth. I won't hide that part of my enthusiasm is due to the fact that Code Geass touched on my personal fears and dreams. While striving to remain objective, I still believe it's a work where every element is implemented at the highest level.
