Code Geass is a heart stopping high intensity action packed anime that will keep the viewer completely stunned at the end of almost ever episode.  It is a short anime but each episode is rich in detail pertaining to the story line and is always relevant to the plot.  The story line is spontaneous and completely unpredictable but I a way viewers will love.  Lelouch's quest to find his mothers killers, to destroy Britannia, and to protect his sister drives Lelouch down a path that is stained with blood.  This anime is also one that can be heart wrenching at time, the story touches on the subjects of colonial control by Britannia over Japan and also in some episodes the genocide of the Japanese people.  This anime's character personalities are completely unique for each character and help to emphasis the different sides people take in the story.  Not to mention an ending that will leave you begging for more....good thing their is a Part 2 with 25 more episode!!!  

Good:
-Powerful storyline that is unpredictable
-Well thought out character personalities that all contribute to the feeling the show gives the viewer
-Lots of great action scenes
-Heart wrenching drama 

Bad:
-.....In all honesty I haven't found a single bad thing about this series 

Scully Rating: 10 out of 10
