This is my favorite anime of all time
Jodey James same! 😁
Agreed. Uncontested #1
Not my top top fav but its an absolute masterpiece
Same
Same
Still haven't found an anime that can replace this masterpiece in my heart!
this anime is Death Note but better...so basically, the perfection
Try legends of the galactic heroes
True
Miko Wu True
Was abt to say that @Everett Meckler
one thing is
Lelouch never made excuses for his actions
for example when he ask to meet Suzaku
Suzaku ask what really happen to Euphy in which he just say that he gave the order
not explaining how it was an accident
although Suzaku realize that there is more to it than that
Lelouch kept it real
I still think Lelouch should have told Suzaku the whole truth instead of just letting him figure things out for himself. They were best friends after all.
@@Elly3981 like suzaku will believe it
@@Votaru he must have at one point or they wouldn't have buried the hatchet.
@@Elly3981 less a burying and more a setting aside.
All hail Lelouch
He's such a badass
Zombie Terminator True, man
geek freak17 lmao yes he is he literally takes down an empire and dies according to his own plan.
All hail emperor Lelouch
All hail Britannia!!
Code Geass is great, but the ending made no sense.
If not for Code Geass I would only be a casual anime watcher and not even an anime fan. This anime actually changed how I looked at the world, anime, and even media in general.
Same bro. I watched Code Geass for the first time when I was 6 and more than 10 years later I still love it.
kandedjibril how do you understand this shit when you were 6??? BRUH NOT TO MENTION THE NAKED SCENES 😂😂😂😂
@@PotatoPizza420 I don't know, but I'm still glad he watched it.
same
This anime changed my perspective on anime.
Let me explain.
I watched Death Note as my gateway anime. Sure I'd seen other things. DragonBall and pokemon, but didn't really sit down and seek out anime till Death Note.
I don't remember if I went right into Code Geass next or if I watched something else. Regardless, I did sit down and watch it.
All throughout season 1, I was pretty constantly saying, "it's okay but Death Note was better." Comparing every detail from the art to the characters. I was a lot more passive and wasn't paying full attention.
And then SAZ happened.
I get why some people think it was contrived or stupid, but I never agreed. We're allowed to have dumb moments, and Lelouch clearly wasn't thinking. Not to mention, he knew Euphy so well he knew what the worst thing would be for her. It was a really poor taste joke that ruined everything.
But I do wish to some degree that they left it ambiguous about what exactly went down. I think they didn't want to pull the heel trigger quite that hard on him, but I do wish they did in some ways. I think the best of both worlds would have been to keep it from the audience. Leave that nugget of suspension that he did it.
I realized after watching this video that Lelouch actually carried out his own evil paradox.
“I commit evil to destroy the greater evil”
@@god_of_none yup
The reason i think lelouch is one of the best mc's of all time is because:
His unique character design, the symbolism around his character, badass, intelligent, great character development, great voice actor and his death scene at the end
Indeed , he not one of your typical “good guy characters and instead he can be considered more of an anti-hero which makes him a more interesting character .
Well he’s not actually dead but nice comment.
@@maddexward283 if you are reffering to lelouch of the re:surrection then you are correct, but that movie happens in a different timeline than the tv series. example: certain characters that we saw die inside of the tv series are still alive in the movie.
@@trochomancy1730 I saw the original CG a long time ago and there are 3 versions of the ending, one that implies he became an entity like CC after his death and was the cart driver she was talking to, a 2nd one with plain credits that made it more clear he died for those who prefer that ending, and the 3rd version, the ending of the movie recaps, made it a bit more obvious CC intended to bring him back. Which she could have done in the original timeline as well.
@@Valencetheshireman927 Yeah, Lelouch is definitely an interesting one of a kind character but he's also insufferably arrogant and overconfident. His bloodlust has returned to bite him in the ass more than once. I might like Lelouch as a protagonist but doubt I'd be able to stand him if he was a real person or if I ever met anyone like him in real life.
the fact that videos are still made on this anime, over a decade after it was made, goes to show how beautiful it is.
Yeah, I'm sure people will still be talking about Code Geass long after others like Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online are forgotten. Both started out great but turned out to be disappointments later.
Yep
Has anyone else noticed that the Zero requiem has been the plan (meaning foreshadowed) since R1?
in the episode "the princess and the witch" on the parallel dialogue between Suzaku and Euphy, and Lelocuh and C.C., Lelouch states that that fighting will come to and end when someone wins. When C.C. asks him "who?", Lelouch just smiles, never outright stating that he will be the ultimate victor and calling the shots when the fighting's over.
In a later episode, Lelouch then mentions to C.C. that if things go according to plan, *he wont be able to be with Nunnaly anymore* . one of the major reasons why Zero was stubbornly trying to recruit Suzaku to his side was because Suzaku was the only person Lelouch feels he could entrust his sister to if everything went according to plan (which it did in the end)
khaii13 Yes but I doubt Lelouch had only 1 plan. They probably just had all of the same conclusions. Can’t be with Nunnaly for them to work. He’s good at chess and being 1 step ahead but he can’t see the future. When he accidentally killed Euphy the author proved that he’s not overpowered.
@@PainAmvs_ i used to think the same as you, especially in my first watch years and years ago. but as life happens, rewatches reveal different insights (some of which i mentioned already). and i do feel that was the overall plan, at least the broad strokes of it anyway. obviously his intent was much different in the beginning. originally he intends to only have a safe "space" for his little sister. but it shifted kinda early after he tasted his first defeat against cornelia in which he declared he will make his own army and country; and originally also he just wanted to checkmate his father; the higher ideals only come much later. but i do feel that, based on his character, Lelouch kinda already know that for the fighting to stop, there needs to exist a symbol so evil that the world will unite against it that needs to be vanquished; and Lelouch is not thetype of person who would entrust the role of the ultimate scapegoat to anyone else given that with how much power said scapegoat would have before the end, anyone else could be corrupted by it and cling on to it. but that's just one youtube commenter's opinion.
and yes, i totally agree that Zero is not the type of person who only has 1 plan; but I sure as heck knows he is the guy who has a masterplan that he always keeps close to his chest.
One thing about Lelouch that people often overlook is that even though he can use his geass to order people to do anything he wanted, he still prefer that others help him of their own free will, especially his friends. That's why he refused to geass Suzaku into joining his cause but simply ordered him to live on, knowing he would be an obstacle.
You either die a hero or live long to be the villain. Lelouch was both.
I'm hella late I know, but in my opinion I don't believe Lelouch original plan was a zero requiem, like some said, it was one of the many plans he would have, but not the main one until his realization in C world.
My reasoning is that he wanted to make a perfect world for her sister AND watch her enjoy that world, Lelouch main objective at the beginning of the series is her sister and revenge against the nobles, at that time Japanese were just allies that shared the same goal, the destruction of Britania.
This is also my theory why the black Knights didn't had a contengency plan if Lelouch died, cuz Lelouch wasn't a guy that stayed in the back lines giving orders, while he definately wasn't in the front lines he still was in the battlefield were the risk of dying was highier than if her had hided.
Now a revolutionary organization would have counter measures in case of the death of their leader, heck, a leader as brilliant as Lelouch would have though this possibility, why there wasn't any mention of this plan then?
Simple, cuz Lelouch wasn't planning to die, or at least, as a sacrifice for the Japan revolution, he was planning to live till the end to watch the world he created with her sister, sacrificing himself would be the last resource he would go for and only if it meant saving her sis, like what happened with Mao, his goal was to be happy with her sis.
While someone who fought entirely for the revolution would think of ways that the movement didn't die even after his death, Lelouch would only sacrifice himself for the sake of her sister, that's why he never gave his organization that kind of plan, meanwhile, due the view they had of him, a man of miracles, they somehow found impossible the idea of him dyin in the battlefield.
Code Geass is one of those rare timeless anime people will keep coming back to.
Code Geass is what made me realize that anime was more then your typical shounen action show. It made me dive into more unique, adult, though provoking, psychological, drama anime and for that it's my favorite anime of all time(next to attack on titan but that's for a different reason)
All hail leluch!
All hail leluch!
ALL HAIL LELUCH! 😥
all hail lelouch
@@gideonroos1188 same bro I wish I could just stop remembering the anime.
Brij Duggal its spelled Lelouch. The fact that you spelt that wrong means that you probably watched this in dubbed 🤢🤢🤮🤮
@@PotatoPizza420 should I whoosh u
@@hesally2343 lmao I was literally the one joking... tf?
Pretty obvious what and who is my favorite anime and character is. I don't schedule it but I subconsciously Re; watch Code Geass like every year.
No i rewatch every month :)
@@adiyandwis5730 Lol. That's crazy. xD
@@scorpio5174 idk, rewatch this its more worth than watching new anime now.
Adiyan DS I am the Geass 😎
yh I rewatch it every year as well
I've actually recently been rewatching Code Geass too. I'm not sure if I'd call it my favorite anime of all time, but mostly because of how bold that claim would be. It is however a contender for such a thing for me. I've met friends, had valuable moral and life lessons answered, and maybe more I can't think of because of this show. I'm quite confident in that I wouldn't be who I am today without having watched Code Geass all those years ago.
Death Note and Code Geass I feel have very similar aspects. The 1st part gives you what you think is their goal and who they are but in the next season you are lost and confused. The main difference between these 2 endings for me in my opinion are the endings. Code Geass's ending feels satisfying whilst Death Note's leaves you a bit lost and makes you question which side you truly were on.
CG ending wasn't completely satisfying to me but it was better than DN's ending, that's for sure.
@@lynnia5875 I swear I’m one of like 6 people who didn’t like the ending
That's because at the end of the day while both Lelouch and Light committed great evil to achieve their goals, Lelouch showed himself to be far more human than light. Both characters has massive pride and were willing to use people, but ultimately Lelouch did care that people were being hurt by his actions. Light had no such compunctions, and showed not one iota of real care for anyone around him, only pretending to care when it suited his interests. Lelouch did the things he did because he ultimately wanted to improve the world, while Light just wanted to be god.
Light also want to improve the world but on his own way
And the fact that light is deluded while leolu I realistic
You have described my feelings about the relationship between Lelouch and Rollo perfectly.
Thank you.
I really like Rollo as a character, and think he is quite tragic.
Yeah. You want to hate Rolo for killing Shirley but also love him for giving his life for Lelouch. Ironically, he was the only one who showed absolute loyalty and devotion to Lelouch without having to be geassed.
@@lynnia5875 you forgot orange his loyal too yk
@@vincedaily8054orange boy😂
Just finished watching it for the first time and I gotta say - ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!!
cutiepie120048 kaguya sama
All Hail Lelouch!
I'm so glad you review older anime and not just the ones that are currently airing.
I like to keep a variety. Episodics are good for airing shows but I like my deep-dives too.
As someone whose favorite anime is code geass seeing an analysis from you made me so happy😆! And yeah people are waaaaay to hard on Rolo and I remember the hate towards anyone who went against lelouch because he was too charismatic that it blinded even the viewers at times. Code geass is just this melting pot of genres that make such a unique experience with THE absolute best anime ending.I'm very bittersweet about not being able to find anything quite like it anywhere else. But then all I have to do is rewatch it!!
Lelouch is amazing but he's definitely no angel. He can be a jerk to his friends and allies at times but people give him a free pass because he's the MC.
Lets be real. Lelouch was PERFECT leader for the horrible times. Yes... using people and treating them like chess pieces is sadly the way to go. Suzaku's way to fix things was too much naive to work. In war YOU NEED press on people and change everything. The magic of Lelouch character is .. amazing for me. Even if he was using people , manipulating them , play their lives being a demon - he was likeable and we wanted him to succeed
Plus the president or whatever they call him was immortal and probably wouldn't let anyone take his place anyway. Suzakus way would've killed him and got nothing done
Actually, the way Suzaku had was the best, most revolutions happened because of helpers in the military like certain generals and marshals, plus population support.
Yea
imo the best part about him was the fact that he manipulated people and played their lives like a demon
I was browsing Netflix at 4 AM when I stumbled across Code Geass and I was like oh yeah I heard about this show. I didn't sleep that night because I was watching Code Geass, and I finished both seasons in two days. Wonderful anime.
I really did shoot myself in the foot by having code geass be the first anime I ever saw.
Nothing has been able to match the ending in my eyes.
Not a single anime has made me tear up like this did.
I don't think there are any filler episodes in Code Geass. Its meant to show that Lelouch just wants to live with his friends, it shows his problem of being forced to lie to his friends and loved ones and how it hurts him.
Also, C.C. best girl
Only kinda filler ep was the school festival one honestly (2 i think there was one in each season) but they do cover a bit of plot in both the eps none the less
I have rewatched this series so many times
Code Geass has been one of my favorite animes since it came to the U.S. I love the complexity of the the story, the themes, subplots, and how every character big or small effects the storyline. I think you did a great job capturing everything that makes Code Geass an awesome anime.
Agreed. Watching the movie recaps and Lelouch of the Resurrection made me remember what a great series Code Geass was, a true masterpiece of its time, and that there hasn't been another anime like it ever since. I thought Attack on Titan might be able to match CG but all that development evaporated to nothing in the end.
Suzaku is one of my favorite characters of all time, and he gets so much bad rep. I'm glad you appreciate him as well. He's...such a good, well made character.
And CG in general is one of my top anime, I'm glad you made this video and went into it in depth. It does so many things well, teaches us a bit about society....so powerful. And the ending is perfect
Suzaku is my favorite as well! I love him and his character development
I always liked Suzaku and not lelouch, even after then ending. I understand what type of chara lelouch is but still just never liked him
erray that’s how I felt with Rolo. He was a fake ass Nunally that killed Shirley and was plotting to kill Nunally but he sacrificed his life to save his only “family” and I respect that
I loved lelouch because he was not selfish unlike Suzuku and was okay with being seen as the demon to save everyone just like he said he wants not to bring about Charles’ past or scheineizels’ future.... but the present
Also Suzuki craves gratification and forgiveness bc of what he did by killing his father but he does it in a hypocritical way... he is fine with turning a blind eye to the brittanian injustices bc he thinks he can change the thinking of the men at the top ie lelouches father, of which his whole character is based around the idea that Charles’ wants to make a world where nothing changes!!!
I grew up watching Code Geass and Shippuden as a kid but Code Geass as it ended earlier taught me so much going into my teens(I even played chess competitively in HS)! This was a total masterpiece even both Sub and Dub!!
I will always welcome a code geass video. I've rewatched it so many time and I still find new things that I didn't notice before. It has been my favorite anime since I started anime and I don't think it'll change anytime soon (Depends on how good Attack on Titan s4 is)
I watched this anime a few months back and I kinda hate it that I didn’t watch this earlier. The ending of this show still amazes me.
This and FMAB are both masterpieces for different reasons
9:22 on top of that, Euphie was that one girl he had maybe had a crush on back when they were little and she maybe had the same feelings for him, which makes her death even more tragic than it already is. His last words to her before he shoots her were "Farewell, Euphie. You may have been the first girl I ever loved." I mean.... I have seen Code Geass R1&2 18 times now in total and its still hard for me to keep my tears when seeing that scene. Great Review!
That came off as a bit creepy to me because Lelouch and Euphemia were siblings. Now if they were cousins, then it would be less gross.
@@lynnia5875 I mean one could argue that they are only half siblings and that they were young and didn’t know any better but I agree with you from the authors perspective it is kinda creepy
@@tttobi- Yeah. I mean royals in real life do marry relatives to keep their bloodlines "pure" but that's usually limited to cousins and not siblings, even half siblings. The only royals I know of who do marry siblings are the ones of Ancient Egypt.
@@lynnia5875
He grew up isolated in their palace and the only girls(his age) he ever interacted with were his sisters
I loved your video and listening to your opinions. Code Geass is a masterpiece, particularly thanks to R2's ending, and Lelouch is possibly one of my favourite fiction characters ever (Suzaku too). I'm glad your video reminded me of it.
A pretty devastating thing that goes pretty unnoticed is how Lelouch never tells Suzaku or anyone close to him, how he never meant to kill Euphemia but instead join her.
his sister knows it when she touches him at the end and learns the truth but yeah it goes to show how he never wanted to be forgiven or to be a hero just change things
@@AHBrandonReviews I'm pretty sure either Lelouch or CC does tell Suzaku the truth behind the incident with Euphemia at some point or he wouldn't have agreed to work on the Zero Requiem with them.
@@Elly3981
I’m pretty sure suzaku agreed because the plan was to kill lelouch
@@GodlyDra True. But when Lelouch finally handed Suzaku his head, Suzu found no satisfaction in it. He wouldn't have cried after stabbing Lelouch if he did IMO.
@@Elly3981 I believe that suzaku wasn’t directly told but figured it out himself via the way lelouch acted... he still didn’t forgive lelouch but he understood why...
Plus they were childhood friends I’m pretty sure that if I had to kill my best friend after he/she murdered the love of my life I would react the same way. Crying for the loss of someone close to you because of the cruelty of the world twisting them into something unrecognisable
what hit me the most is the understanding of mental health....or lack there of. This man breaks down, freezes up, and cackles exactly where he should. it's amazing.
I always get really sad watching the ending (for obvious reasons, like c’mon), but what really hits home is the dark coloring beneath Lelouch’s eyes at the Requiem, and even Rolo’s when he’s dying. It really makes their deaths feel like more since they fade slowly, and since practically every other character just goes out in an explosion which means that isn’t a detail we see normally.
I just finished my third rewatch of Code Geass and I decided to try is dubbed this time and.....god.....Johnny Yong Bosch hit it out of the park with his portrayal of Lelouch. While I love Jun Fukuyama's voice, Johnny's genuinely gave me chills. My favorite would have to be when Lelouch thought Nunally was dead and began screaming at Rollo over the charm he gave to Nunally just left me speechless. I ended up rewatching that single scene more than any of the other scenes in the entire show. Most dubs have trouble with portraying emotions through voice lines, but Johnny's just managed to captivate me literally every time he wasn't calm and collected.
Personally, I thought Jun Fukuyama sounded a bit old for the role of Lelouch in Japanese since Lelouch is only 18 yet he sounds like a 40 year old. JYB sounds much more youthful and fitting for the English voice of Lelouch.
I watched code geass English dub and the dub is incredible, lelouch’s voice is beyond incredible
I keep quoting the way he says characters names when he’s mad lol
“SUZAKU!”
I'll be honest I've never seen someone say so much I mean SO MUCH good stuff about Code Geass but also if I was as good with words and analysis as you I would have done something similar ... Coz that's how much I love this anime ... Always my top fav ... I absolutely adore Lelouch vi Britania for everything he is ... I have an attachment with every character of the series (which when you think of how many characters are there in it, is pretty commendable on my part 😅) but that's how good this show is ... Just like you said I can re-watch this anime any number of times from any episode and just fall in love with it all over again ...
Anyways thank you for making this video I am so happy and satisfied after watching it 😊😊
Nothing can replace my this as favourite anime and no one can replace lelouch as my favourite character the new movies still feel good even if they are not what some fans hoped for
Omg I literally just watched code grass for the first time last week and I wanted to see if you had done a review and you posted one today lol
I still remember the day I stumbled upon code geass abridged and loved it. After a couple episodes I wondered if the original show was any good and went to watch. So happy I did as this show is one of my all time favorites.
I recently watched Code Geass again. WOW, did I forgot about all the Pizza Hut. Great anime still.
Timeless and perfect masterpiece will never be replaceable, that is what Code Geass is.
I was saying that this will be my favorite anime of all time (and the best overall) when season 1 ended in 2007. After 13 years and more than 1100 anime later, my position in this is stronger than ever, nothing can even begin to compare with Code Geass and will never be, it will be the best anime (or fictional story in general) for ever.
Every time I rewatch it’s just feels so fresh
This anime blew my mind. Even the filler episodes had a purpose. Literally 50 episodes that all perfectly worked to build up the very last scene.
I deeply respect this channel for this review. This anime is genius, the best I've watched so far.
This series is the only reason I started taking anime seriously, and seems to be one of those anime that takes itself ver seriously but knows when to try to add mundane, calm, and humor so you don't experience burnout or be overwhelmed. Also, even though Geass is not explained, I find it to be more or less a glorified curse. C.C.'s story with her Geass kinda explains why she initially wants something so drastic from Lelouch.
Lelouch is my favorite male protagonist/character ever.
Not to mention its one of the few anime where the English cast is arguably even better than the original. I haven't seen that since, like, Cowboy Bebop or G1 Transforners
I'd say as a whole they're both pretty good.
Like when you hear the voices, they just seem to fit
Just watched this recently and I loved it to the end. I loved how all the characters were treated making them all likeable and hate able making them act more real than most people in anime. One of my new favorite animes and making me realised why I love anime.
with the whole suzaku and lelouch thing
Lelouch's rebellion is what allowed Suzaku to gain more power to help change the world, so without him Suzaku could never change it from the inside, forever being a common soldier and a pawn of those above him. So now in a way, no matter who wins, the world becomes a better place. This is true up to the final act, where Lelouch's sacrifice is what truly allows Suzaku and Nunnaly to build a better world
Right. Suzaku was Japanese and considering how racist the Britannians were, he would have never been able to climb the ranks if it weren't for Lelouch.
@@Elly3981 even aside that, commoners can only become nobility or other high ranking offices by proving themselves, and there would have been few chances to prove himself if not for Zero, I mean the only one I can think of off the bat is the hotel jacking as that wasn't Lelouch's doing nor was it only allowed of him bc of the status he had already earned bc of his feats against Zero.
@@megarotom1590 Yes, its true commoners can climb the ranks. Lelouch's own mother was a commoner but she's also native Britannian. Its much harder for ethnic minorities like Suzaku to climb the ranks regardless of his talents if it weren't for Lelouch's actions and the fact that he was Euphemia's favorite. If you watched Akito the Exiled spin-off, you'd notice that even though the emperor gave Suzaku a promotion for turning Lelouch in, he still put Lelouch in a position of authority over Suzaku, even while brainwashed, when he sent them over to Europia to crush an anti-Britannian uprising.
@@Elly3981 yah, but this might sound surprising but all things considered I don't think Charles is racist. What he actually believes and what he pretends to believe aren't always clear.
I believe there are 3 reasons he keeps the number system: #1: it's easier to run an empire when you have a class of people you can treat like dirt, #2: if he denounced it all the racist nobles would have a riot, #3: It gives him a good excuse to raid other countries
It definently doesn't help that it seems that Brittania now only contends with the E.U. and internal problems for the most part. So it's a lot harder to gain honor, especially for someone who would be most likely stationed near home to gain station
@@megarotom1590 Emperer Charles believes in an extreme form of social Darwinism and capitalism, basically every man for himself. He's not wrong when he said that all people are not created "equal" but not allowing people born disadvantaged equal opportunities to get ahead in life as those born privileged is what's wrong with his thinking. Its not totally his fault since he himself had been raised with this belief since birth.
Watched this anime because of what everyone was saying about attack on titan, about its gonna get a "code geass ending". I didn't get it spoiled but dam i watched C.G and im so in love that i watched the entire series in a week.
A main character dies in the show and gets revived in a alternate reality movie?
Lol if only
There are tons of code geass review out there but every sentence in this video is so accurate and on point. I do not regret clicking on it
You have described my favorite anime ever. You get a subscription from me.
Also I'm rewatching for the 4th time. I'm in season 2
Hands down for me greatest finale ever ♥️
What I enjoyed the most about this anime is how every episode has a secure place in the overall story. In a normal show the big fights and the political intrigue would be the main focus when things really start to get going. Geass, however, goes out of it's way to include social, high school episodes, even during its second season. These episodes served to evolve relationships between the characters, and STILL manage to keep me on the edge of my seat. I wouldn't go so far as to say they're the most important episodes, but what happened in school, every little interaction, could have a kind of snowball effect.
Future L.L and C.C content hopefully will be a thing. Would love to see what adventures they go on together
Oh, me too. I think if there's going to be a spin off, I'd like to see how Suzaku does as the new Zero. They should shift perspectives and allow different members of the cast to take center stage and be the protagonist of their own arcs, episodes, not just Lelouch and CC.
While Code Geass may not be my absolute number one favorite anime of all time anymore, I can certainly still say Lelouch is still and will likely always be my favorite anime protagonist of all time.
in r2 2nd episode C.C once said(during the duel) that either way, evil remain.
this is a gigantic foreshadowing, for as long as lelouch disposes of himself, both evil perishes, thus dismissing this paradox.
GREAT VIDEO
Awesome video man! Can you do Spice and Wolf next?
maybe one day
PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS ON CODE GEASS!
I said everything I wanted to in this video I doubt I'll do more
@@AHBrandonReviews I hope u do
Love this analysis of one of my favorite anime 😍
Before I watched this show my top anime was FMAB and death note, this has took top spot now.
Code geass/Death note. have spcial place in my heart and brain. So much fun seeing people battling it out with thier brains.
Such a great video, really well done 👏🏿
Code Geass is brilliant, it was my favorite anime before I watched Evangelion
Protection -> fun + revenge -> madness -> clarity. Also fanservice.
There are quite a bit of non foreshadowed character changes and logic gaps, but it’s still enjoyable at the end.
This has and always will be my favorite anime. This is the only anime that I have watched more than once. Johnny Bosh does a great job voicing Lelouch in the English dub and I think Code Geass has one of the best English dubs. I like quoting some parts of it because there are so many good lines and monologues in this show. I love it so much. "Destruction always comes before creation and for that goal, even my own conscience must be cast aside. The only path left to me is straight ahead. Now then."
Wait, THERES A 10 YEAR PLAN???
My favorite anime, it's just so good at emotionally investing me. Only shows like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and avatar come close
This was the first anime to ever bring tears to my eyes and will forever be my all time favorite anime
This was the 3rd anime i ever watched and i consider the story and character development to be up there with Lord of the Rings and the original Star Wars. there were several times in which which i was thoroughly mindf*cked beyond recognition (such as R2 Ep 1). Nothing I will ever watch will beat it ever.
If you like code geass, try legends of the galactic heroes
If only Kircheis was here...
why lol. they are totally different in writing. geass fans will probably be disappointed with the more realistic writing of lotgh
it’s been six years since I found this masterpiece and I have watched it every year since
I watch it every couple of years
"from breaking the school rules to brutally murdering people" lmao
*Eren watching intensely and take it to heart*
Code geass truly is a masterpiece.
I had no idea people didn't like Rollo. I was literally crying for half an hour after he died
Yeah my friend and I never understood how people hated him
demolish a skyscraper, drop a mountain on your enemy, all in Zero's play book.
0:50 “there’s a ten year plan” it’s been 4 years :’) still waiting on my r3
seems like you missed all the projects that's come out myanimelist.net/anime/34437/Code_Geass__Fukkatsu_no_Lelouch
I spent watching most this anime not really fully understanding what was going on but enough to kind of follow and watch the next episode, however that last episode... Never cried so much in my life 😭
I find suzaku infuriating but like him a little better now after watching this. This anime is special.
I love your analysis. It's amazing. Great observations.
I approve of this video.
yo zero
As far as Lelouch's power of absolute obedience there's only one character he uses it on that gets a permanent command and that's Suzaku. the command was for Suzaku to live and once it was given it ended up being a permanent command since every time afterwards that Suzaku seems to be in a life or death scenario that could kill him the order to live kicks in and helps him survive.
Such a nice video. It puts everything I like about the MC in 15 mins.
The most memorable scene was tablekun abuse
Code Geass is one of THE GOATS
Where's the love button, this is really well done! This is why this is my favourite anime of all time.
This show needs to be rebooted.
It seems he explains everything to Suzaku expect that the entire Euphie incident was a mistake.
R1 & R2 WAS SOMETHING ELSE I LOVED IT
Question: why C. C. said that 'can he see me? ' (for suzaku) at Japanese massacre. Was she invisible? Because all the time she was visible to others black knights, nunally, etc.
a long time ago, I watched the first episode of code geass, and during this time, I hated mecha anime with a passion and the momment I saw the first knightmare, I quit, but after watching the whole series I realized what a mistake that was, I still hate mecha anime with a passion, but code geass holds a special place in my heart
Ngl I actually may have possibly shed a tear or two at the end
10/10 Ending
It's true almost everyone is this way the reason why i love lelouch he sees the world and he knows it needs to change like you said i have acted this way ever since I was 10 I always think the world wants to make you something ur not and people need to know this that a grade doesn't show your reflect what you know
I really enjoyed this video. And I don't understand why Suzaku gets so much hate; the show literally could not have worked without him and his rivalry with Lelouch. Their relationship was brilliantly written IMO. Despite everything that happened to put a strain on their friendship, Lelouch and Suzaku never truly stopped caring for and believing in each other, even to the bitter end. Great job!
one of my favorite dudded anime
MY FAV ANIME OF ALL TIME!!!
