Power-wise I think I prefer the Geass to the Death Note.  The Death Note has all sorts of arbitrary limitations placed on it as the series goes on, while the Geass does almost exactly what is advertised in the first episode throughout the entire series.

Of course the series tried to do way too much but that's why I love it.

e: the fact that the blogger managed to misunderstand the moral message of something as straightforward as Code Geass doesn't really fill me with faith about his analytical abilities

And the bonus of pulling the franchise out of the fires of SEED

00 is meh compared to other Gundams
..compared to what gundams? it's certainly mediocre, but then so is pretty much every other gundam series. 00 at least had quality going for it.

Only Gundam i avoided watching was Gundam Wing, while it was extremely popular, that took boring to the next level.

Well the finale for Gundam Build Fighters is pretty good.

AND it has sequel bait.

Only Gundam i avoided watching was Gundam Wing, while it was extremely popular, that took boring to the next level.

Yeah... It is the only show I ever seen that had back to back clip episodes... and while I can appreciate a clip show if the series is especially long and convoluted... They usually boiled down to "this guy bad and we meandered around a lot"

I still love the opening though... and when I think about it, I think the only reason I watched it is because of its awesome opening.

It wasn't just me then. Originally I tried to use that as a gateway to get into the whole Gundam thing, but it didn't hold my attention well enough to follow the plot of even a single episode.

I went back much later though and watched the 1979 Gundam and I enjoyed that a lot more.

Gundam Wing is special for me because I grew up watching that. 00 was meh to me.

To admit Gundam Wing is one of the FEW gundam series that doesn't suffer from "Death Packed Ending Syndrome".

Which has always bugged me...

Heh, Gundam Wing goes along with DBZ, Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya for me.... they were the first animes I ever watched as a kid, on bootleg VHS tapes, in Cantonese +English subtitles.

00 is notable, as Furtuka mentioned, mainly because it came after SEED. It could have been an absolute steaming pile of shit and still would have looked decent in comparison, and what it actually was was a decent-quality entry with too much moralizing and magic particle wankery.

Power-wise I think I prefer the Geass to the Death Note.  The Death Note has all sorts of arbitrary limitations placed on it as the series goes on, while the Geass does almost exactly what is advertised in the first episode throughout the entire series.

Of course the series tried to do way too much but that's why I love it.

Thank you so much for that comment about the Code Geese review, I might have missed some gems otherwise.

Anything else I didn't comment on/add to I just plain agree with. I would love to see the reviewer's review on NGE, but I can't be bothered to navigate that... thing.

Thank you. I don't know why I hesitated about saying, "No, you clearly didn't actually watch the show." there when I didn't elsewhere.  :P
