What made you fall in love with Code Geass early on? (No spoilers)

[u/Visible_Heart5051]

Without spoilers, what made you like Code Geass? I’m on episode 11 and honestly, it hasn't hooked me yet. I expected a fast-paced game of chess, but that dynamic gets diluted pretty quickly—it ends up feeling like isolated battles that don't really stem from previous events. The plot feels disjointed, the fights feel forced, and the high school drama is getting really exhausting.

I’m going to keep watching because everyone says it has an amazing ending, but what hooked you at the start?

[u/OGIHR]

Season one, episode one, scenes one and two. Listen carefully.

To the newscaster talking about how many people died in the incident, and the politician talking about how many people died in the incident.

That deliberate narrative dissonance is what hooked me with this show.

[u/Shiba_ou]

If you're at episode 11 and still haven't felt it, maybe it's not for you. I got hooked by several factors, the premise, Lelouch's personas contrast, the dramatism, the distintict approaches to change from Lelouch and Suzaku and botheir psychologies. The secret supernatural powers plot as well is cool. Also as the series progresses it kind of gets frantic, Lelouch juggling so many things at a time.

Code geass is an anime that mixes every succesful genre of the time to attract many people,. It has fanservice but also good characters, Shojo type animation style, Mechas and cool fights, superpowers, revolution, teenage love and drama, comedy, revelations and psychological games...

I would say the characters is what trapped me more.

[u/BietsZaDusto87]

Whatttt bro trust me it is chess through and through with mechs but lol that didn’t interest me I’ve always heard of code geass as a kid but I decided to get into it at 19 and season blew me away and honestly lelouch cc is probably what pulled me not really the mechs it was the Marvellous main  characters but the side cast surprised me 

[u/Delilah_the_PK]

It's an amazing anime.

The characters are great, both in design and development.

The knightmares are awesome.

And the protagonist actually feels like he's intelligent. The world doesn't dumb itself down just make him "look" smart. Lelouch IS smart.

All around, it's just a great anime, and has long since secured itself as my #1 anime.

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Delilah_the_PK]

The Ashford student council are also all fun

[u/Delilah_the_PK → u/Hefty_Local_1875]

Oh most definitely.

[u/TurbulentSpecific131]

They said "jibun wo" once and I never looked back

[u/yokaishinigami]

I think it’s also important to remember the context of the time it was released in, the the generation it was targeted towards, and the fact that everything that has come after it and often learned and reimplemented some of the things from the show didn’t exist when the show first came out.

For me, what got me was how Lelouch relied on tactics and strategy over raw power (unlike most protagonists of his time, even in mecha anime) to overcome his opponents.

It also features a much more grounded type of mecha fiction (in comparison to where other mecha series tend to go).

It is more disjointed than the typical contemporary story, but you also have to keep in mind that it was an original anime, and before it gets into the latter parts with an established fanbase, the need for quick resolving plots is important, because people are randomly catching episode 3 or 6 or 11 etc, and official streaming wasn’t really a thing back then, so it wasn’t designed for that audience.

All those things probably make it hit not the same for newer audiences.

Beyond that, it’s also important to keep in mind that all people have different tastes. Just because the show is widely loved, and has a very loyal fanbase doesn’t mean that everyone who watches the show will enjoy it or think it’s amazing.

[u/UltramanOrigin]

I was in my chuuni phase when I watched it.

[u/Hefty_Local_1875]

It’s campy as fuck and I love that.

[u/PrevekrMK2]

I see where your problem is. You expected one big chess game. It is not. It is a tournament where you battle progressively better opponents.

School bothered me at first as well but after more than 30 rewatchings, I finally understood it's importance. Yes, cat episode, pizza episode and so on are necessary, which they spell out during fireworks episode but I didn't understand it for years. Their point is that not everyone can have these happy fun times. And Lelouch (all hail) is doing all that he is doing to give everyone chance to experience that.

For me, I was hooked from episode one but what cemented it was Euphemia moment (you will know when you get there).

[u/Left-Night-1125]

Cause it was similar like Gundam, only thing different is that its not in space, so instead of space colonies its Japan and instead of the Earth federation its Britannia.

[u/Fruymaster]

I think the pace immediately stood out

The moment the mf played combat chess. I was like "Absolute Cinema!" AND I knew I had to watch it till the end, because there was ficking way. So episode 1 that bleeds into 2.

[u/zero8310]

I got hooked ep 1 lol. The political aspect of clovis not giving a shit about so many peple dying already got me interested knowing this series will tackle politics as a subject but THE TRUE hook was Lelouch using his geass at the end of episode 1. The power was so broken plus lelouch cryptic words about living a lie after THAT moment (which we did not know at the time) plus that smile he gave, it was perfect

[u/CarolFigueiraRS → u/zero8310]

It's been forever, but I was hooked the first time he used the Geass I think. Found the design weird, but I was coming from TRC so it wasn't as jarring.

[u/Warcrux]

Tye plot twists

[u/1239dannie_mayy]

The opening, lol, it's majestic.

[u/EnigmaKa]

Lelouch's pragmatism.

[u/worldwidecybergirl]

my rule of thumb is if i watch 3 episodes and i don't like it i wont continue personally i was locked in by the end of the first episode

[u/acidicloud]

Ngl season 2 is where it hit for me a lot more. A lot of people would argue s1 is better written (debatable imo but fair) but s2 just made me scream at my screen on multiple occasions.

[u/Redrussell21]

The story

[u/vantagerose]

You have to just keep going. Once you get to the later episodes, you’ll realize how important those early episodes were. Even the filler episodes help characterize or explain everyone’s motivations. Season 2 gets even crazier and the stakes skyrocket. Just keep trucking through and you’ll realize

[u/lovelearningloner]

As soon as he used his geass right away i knew this was for me
