Review without spoilers of both season 1 and 2
First of all, I have to say that pls remember this anime is really old and the art is not that good nowadays, and that you have to be patient with this anime, don't drop it after 2-4 episodes, cause this anime is stupidly good. After years and hundred of animes, I can say this anime is in my opinion the most perfect anime ever made (it's not my TOP 1 cause I personally have other anime I like more, but it is a fact this one is the most perfetc anime ever even if it is not my TOP 1 anime). I'm trying to not be subjetive here, even if it doesn't seems like that with that statement. This anime is actually NOT my #1 favourite; I personally have other anime I like more (Toradora!), but even so I have to admit this anime is objectively the most perfect one I have ever seen.
Code Geass atkes place on a worlds where the great empire of Britania has conquered a bug part of the world, including Japan. There is a really racist society where japanese ppl is is treated very badly. Japan was called "Area 11" since the invasion, and japanese ppl were called "elevens".
Our protagonist, Lelouch Lamperouge is a extremely clever adolescent with a strong sense of justice that hates how britania and his society do things. One day, very similar to Death Note, he gets involved in a situation where he acquires a extrange superpower: By making ppl looks at his eyes, he can order them anything and they will do it. As on Death Note, this power has restrictions and rules that Lelouch himself test the limitations etc. With this power and his very outstanding intelligence, Lelouch will try to free Japan from Britannia an solve a personal grudge he has with the emperor.
The battles are small armies of mechas, but the important thing is the mental battle between their comanders to lead their armie to victory. There are really clever and complex strategies kind of like a chess game. Not only on battles, but there are political and social strategies too.
Characters are extremely well built, their personalities totally match with their actions at every second of the anime, they really feel like real people. The plot is simply superb, not your tipical plot where something happens but everything is fine anyone of the good guys die and the bad guys lose.
In Code Geass, there is a lot of good and bad moments, important good characters die, aswell as important enemies.
Is honestly the best plot I ever seen, with characters matching really nice on it, and a lot of sad situations, a lot of happy situations, and a lot of feelings. Every episode on this anime is really important, and enjoyable to watch.
Look, you don't know me, but I beg you watch this masterpiece, this anime is something everyone on the world should know about. TRUST ME, you will love it, I'm 100% sure you will.
