First of all I must mention, that I am not a big fan of Clamp Arts, which is why I put off watching it until now. But since all the anime fan voices are praising it so much, I watched it anyway. And I was positively surprised: Not only was there a "double-hero" theme stretching throughout the whole story, but was the main focus on what you would normally call the "antagonist", a 17 year old boy, Leolouch, with a sad past, who seeks revenge and a better future for his sister, Nunnally, with an newly obtained power called "Geass".


On the other hand, we have Suzaku, former childhood friend of Lelouch, who joins the Britannia Army to change it from within.

And then everything came to an decisive battle between Zeros army, the "Black Knights" and the Britannia Empire, which was lost while Lelouch ended up being somewhere completely different and arguing with Suzaku. Each fired their gun at each other and puff, Season ended.
I was quite surprised, since the second season started with "1 year later", so I thought I accidentally skipped the last episode of season 1...but no. Lelouch had returned to living as a normal student, suddenly having a younger brother, and everyone seemed to have lost their memories. I was confused. After a while, Lelouch regains his memories and everything starts to make sense....In the end, I think it was an awesome way to start a new season, in complete confusion, and you only learn what happened a year before bit by bit.


(!!!!!!!!! WORST SPOILER EVER!~ so don´t read if you haven´t watched XD)
And then, final episode, he gets killed by a man masked like Zero, whos actually Suzaku....which was all planned to make Lelouch the "evil" that everyone projects their hatred on and to lead the world to peace....I must say, I don´t really see, how these things are connected, really, but well. It still was a worthy ending, somehow.
To sum it up, I think it was a great anime, although not one of the best I have ever seen. Sometimes, I was not even listening to the explanations and political-war talk anymore, because I was like "well yeah, whatever", and the fact that Lelouch had a harem of girls in love with him around him was quite an annoying fact aswell, but it was not too bad, as to stop midway. xD After a few episode, one gets easily captivated. Having a main-character with a basically good goal, approaching it by committing murder and crimes though, makes it quite epic. "All hail Rurusyu!" xD
