Now that the series has ended, I finally decided to give the show a shot. >.>
I'm really into it. So far, I'm up to episode 22. . . . .those who've seen it should know why it put me in tears.:( :cry: People said it was similar to Death Note, despite it being a mech anime (which I normally despise), so I tried. They were right. You can definitely spot some DN themes in this show.
I'd definitely recommend it if you can take the occasional bloody scene.
While I think Lelouche's goals are more realistic, I prefer Suzaku's methods. I'm such a goody-two-shoes.
