Finished season 1.
Show ends during a climactic scene - first time I've ever seen something like that before...
I wonder if R2 does the same.
But otherwise, I kinda liked the ending few episodes, despite a bit of double you tee eff going on.

Around 3.5 to 4 stars.

Spoiler:

Oh and the hot-headed imbecile that is Suzaku is annoying, although I like some of his reactions:

I probably shouldn't spoil your story... but if you really want to know, there are different theories, and there's like craploads of pages on the Code Geass thread about it.

I find it odd that Lelouch never seems to suspect others knowing about the possibility of his power. I mean, he got it from that capsule, which was sourced from some people who probably know something is supernatural, at the very least. There seems to be hints that some members of the royal family are involved with these "power girls" and it would make sense for Lelouch to be suspicious that some in power know about this.

Lol, V.V. isn't a girl...

Really double you tee eff: he knew there were 2 people who saw his identity, yet he only went after Shirley, never confirming that the other was dead. Luckily she was amnesic.

You mean Viletta? she's probably harder to get (don't know where she is).

Nina's lack of coherent reasoning at the end is a bit odd for a science freak, but I guess, peoples' minds work differently

As C2 says, his emtions are wierd, especially after Shirley's dad gets killed - it's not like he didn't know people were going to get killed; his compassionate action

Lelouch, once he loses control of his power, says that he can't look at anyone any more. Uh, couldn't he just wear an eye patch? I guess it's still difficult to explain to people why he's doing it, but it would make a lot more sense than trying to cover his eye with his hand. Then again, he never really looks at anyone after that incident.

Cannot remember. With Nina, I remember her to be pretty broken towards the end (but that's probably season 2?)...

Lelouche... compassionate? Lelouche is about as compassionate as Light is.

In the first episode, the soldiers which he commands to kill themselves refers to Lelouch as "your highness". At first, I thought it had something to do with C2 saying that he'll "live the life of a king" or something like that, but it appears no-one else under his control ever did the same thing. Which means that the soldier leader must've somehow known what he was, but how?

Probably because he specifically says "Lelouche vi Britannia commansd you to..." when in all the other instances, he doesn't.

I seem like one of the minority group of people who didn't mind Suzaku all that much. Note: that doesn't mean I liked Suzaku. Just didn't really hate him (well, besides a few instances).

People seem to hate Shirley too...

Ok, just for interest, here's the 4 main characters from Code Geass and the amount of favourites for each, from MyAnimeList...
Lelouche - 14115
C.C. - 5376
Karen - 1982
Suzaku - 1092

From Death Note...
Light - 8965
L -13376

kung FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... What the fuck do people see in L that makes him get 13376 votes? Light shits all over him in pretty much every single aspect. Awesomeness, badassness, decision making, social skills, looks, everything. Light pretty much radiates awesomeness while L radiates "I am a freak". Is it just because Light is the bad guy and L is the good guy?

EDIT: according to my sister, a lot of girls dig L... WTF? Though she herself prefers Light too.

Actually, yes you should.  And since you don't nit pick stuff like Zinga, you'll probably like it better than he did.

When people ask me for anime recommendations, I usually tell them to go watch stuff like Code Geass, because it's sort of safe (which have since proven true).  Safe meaning it's quite universally liked, unlike stuff like AIR, which are somewhat hit and miss.

Ok, going to watch Baccano now.  According to my sister, it's excellent.

It's on my To Watch list (the one me and my sister are going through) - wee're watching Mushi-shi next on that list.

on Code Geass, Lelouch and C.C. gets my vote. i just wished they farther elaborate C.C.'s past. the other characters, don't care much. Read the manga as well, no further stories for her.
on Death Note, i have to disagree, i prefer Light, even though he got carried away. most of my friends who prefer L, likes him because of his weirdness. i prefer Near over L anytime. Manga version, better presentation.

these 2 anime are still my top ones, with Black Lagoon, Cowboy Bebop and Monster.

Finished it. As I thought towards the end, R2 tries to end the story, and some parts of the ending are somewhat what I had expected. I still like the audacity of the ending, despite me not being too sure it really works.

Overall, I'd say it's on par with the first season. Yes, some more very weird double you tee eff bits, but if you ignore them, it's about the same - quite entertaining.

Hate? I dunno. Dislike perhaps - he is a character after all.

Possibly intentions? Light was trying to become king of the world after all.

Spoiler for MASSIVE ENDING SPOILERS:

But all in all, I won't place my support for any single theory. I believe the producers are just leaving it open for the possibility of another season. Therefore the truth isn't even decided on the producers side, and will depend on the possibility of a 3rd season.

Watched a few episodes of Kurenai.
Was a little confused during the first episode, but becomes clearer later. Unfortunately doesn't seem to try to try much of an extravagant plot, unlike what the first episode seems to suggest.
Plot is alright, but it really seems to lack excitement, which is somewhat a shame.
