my god code geass sucks balls why do you all have to act like it is the best thing since sliced bread? seriously there are like 200 better anime's out there
204.5, if you really want to get technical. >.>
But it's all opinion. Some people love R+V II for some reason. >.>
99% of people watch R+V 1 & 2 for the T&A.
I dislike those people.
Anyways, Geass is NOT a show for everyone. Geass is a show for everyone with at least a dozen functional brain cells, which experience shows cuts off roughly eighty percent of Humanity.
There is no such thing as an anime that requires people be intelligent to find amusing. An idiot can keep himself entertained, as well as be entertained by almost anything.
I have not seen Code Geass myself, but it doesn't look like anything special. Nothing outstanding about it, and Lelouch is entirely too skinny. He seems like a cool guy, but he's just way too damned skinny.
And I understand why elfen lied might get a bit pissy, what with all the Code Geass stuff that is said when, indeed, there are probably many better anime out there. Wouldn't you get pissed if a group of about 20 people at your school tried to say... Naruto was better than Code Geass/your favorite anime?
I know I sure as hell would.
I would recommend you watch it, then.
One of the major themes in Geass was that the meat of the story was roughly divided in half between an intellectual wargame and Mecha blowing shit up. A lot of the themes and ideas of Geass flew right over people's heads, especially once R2 rolled around and upped the "think" part of the show and slightly reduced the "Blowing shit up" portion, and that had a lot of people viewing R2, then the whole series, as Dull or Generic, because they didn't understand it.
While I will admit that I may be a bit biased, given the Geass is one of my top ten favorite anime, I would not bullheadedly defend it if it was, in fact, stupid.
Also, EVERYONE is too fucking thin.
Also also, I think if someone tried comparing "Believe it!" to Geass, their entrails would end up as cafeteria food the next day, but that's beside the point.
