Anime Review: Code Geass

Today I finished watching Code Geass season 2 ^_^
I will however review the series as whole, since that makes more sense to me.
If you've read/watched Death Note you might recognice the main setup:
Very intelligent highschool boy who dislike the state of the world gains mystic power as well as mysterial companion, plots to change the world, battles ensues.
However he has much more character than Yagami Light such as having a personal reason to change the world, a more versatile power (though with a heavier condition).
While the main theme of Death Note is basically
"is killing ok if it's to change the world to a better place?"
I'd say the main theme of Code Geass is basically
"Power corrupts, but also makes the powerless rise to gain it"
unlike in Death Note most characters have alot of depth put into them, aswell as featuring a larger set of recurring characters.
Code Geass also have some elements of mecha, (such as the fact that most battles are fought with giant robots) but more in the style of FMP, where they still play a quite minor role as compared to the character relations.
While it maintains a lighter side to it with a highschool/comedy element it also puts a dark shade over it all as the series progress, shattering relations and in many cases scarring the characters.
very much like FMP had Fumuffo CG has the start of season 2 being very non-serious and full of fanservice, though later it picks up again to become really good.
The best description I can give of this series is probably
"2/5 FMP + 2/5 Death Note + 1/5 Gankutsou"
Something really interesting is that the ending of the first season could very well have been the end of the whole series (though not as finite as the second seasons)

Score
Plot: 4/5
Characters: 5/5
Development: 5/5
Animation: 4/5
Ending(s): 5/5
Total: 10/10
I really love this series ^_^

Tomorrow I'll be roleplaying again :D
