Plot summary: High school student Lelouch Lamperouge is given Geass, a power which makes anyone obeys any order he gives. He then takes on the identity Zero and leads a group of rebels against the Brittanian Empire to liberate Japan and at the same time, get his revenge aganist the royal family of Brittania.
Storyline: 7.5/10. I wasn't impressed when I realised that the first half of the series consisted of slightly altered strategies from Death Note and one from Detective Conan. But it starts to get original after that.
Music: 7/10. Nothing I liked, but it does set the atmosphere.
Art: 9/10. Lelouch looks just like Kamui from X... because the same artist drew them! That's right! It's CLAMP and CLAMP almost always impressed me with their art. I also liked the scenes when Lelouch uses his Geass.
Overall: 8/10. Code Geass boasts a lot on storyline. Unfortunately, half of it felt like deja vu, especially in Lelouch's character.
As I have said before, Lelouch is like a lesser version of Light Yagami. They are both driven by the desire to change the world, but Lelouch is more easily affected by emotions than Light. And Lelouch makes a lot more mistakes than Light. Lelouch was unable to stop an irregular like Lancelot, but Light was able to prepare for the appearance of characters like 'L'.
