All my pre-conceptions of this anime has been fault I do believe i does stand head and shoulders on the greats of the last decade (still prefer Death Note and Gurren Lagann) it's great story and great characters/development has shown why their is still a glimmer of hope with contemprary anime.
So yeah am here to congratulate the greatness that is Code Geass, and this is with me still being around the 1/3 of R2
Oh and english dubbing has done a exemplary job on this anime!
