It's not for everyone but I've watched this about 8 years ago and I absolutely loved it. If you like psychological, strategy, character development, and immersive plot you will like this a ton, probably. It has really dated animation but as someone who's been watching anime since clannad first aired(no joke) this is a classic. But now there is a movie trilogy with current date animation of the source that I highly recommend. Misses some good stuff but better to see it then no code geass at all.

I strongly admire lelouch and how he dedicates his life for the greater good of his sister's future and the world's fate. Lelouch is one of the greatest protagonists I have ever seen. I'm really hoping that this anime makes a s 3
