Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

Synopsis:

Area 11 is still under Britannian rule and the Elevens remain brutally oppressed; what’s more, their saviour, Zero, is nowhere to be found and all of Britannia believes the rebellion is finally over. Elsewhere, having lost the battle, Lelouch sets his sights upon winning the war – but the task is no easier since the Britannian forces have learned some valuable lessons all of their own. Not only have they discovered his identity and captured many of his Black Knights, but they now manipulate the memories of all of his friends. Worst of all, they have taken the most precious thing in his life – his dear sister, Nunnally. With his hatred for the Britannians stronger than ever before, Lelouch must now recuperate his forces and bring their rule of terror to an end.

Death Note

Death Note main image

Have you ever felt like the world would be a better place if certain people weren’t around? Such grim daydreams might occur when watching the dismal daily news, but on one fateful day, Yagami Light finds that these daydreams can become reality. By pure happenstance, he comes across a black notebook entitled "Death Note", whose text within states that whoever's name is written on its pages will die. With the aid of the death god Ryuk, Light takes it upon himself to rid the world of its corruption, ushering in a new era of purity one death at a time. But as Ryuk foretells, Light's actions will not go unchallenged...

Like lelouch, Yanagami Light is looking to change the world in a non conventional way.. He gets the death note that a shinnigami drop, if you whrite a name in the book and think on the face of the person, he will die un less than a minute... And so it start his quest to erase the criminals from the face of the earth...

Migandas

Lelouch Lamperouge and Yagami Light share some characteristics. They both want too change the world at all cost. Not a single death is too much for them. Although there are no Mecha's in Death Note, and no Shinigami's in Code Geass, I am sure that if you liked the one, you will like the other, so jump into the lives of these Anti-Heroes, and see what they will do for their goals!

VivisQueen

Thrills, spills, cliff-hangers, twists, and a genius protagonist who wants to take over the world. If you want more of that stuff found in Code Geass, then Death Note should be your next destination.

Aelphais

Both series revolve around the anti-hero trying to take over the world. Death Note is a darker themed version of the genre, and Code Geass has mech elements, but both series provide an interesting outlook on tyranny.

weardo05

the main charters in both death note and code gease both have the same dark view of humanity and desire to take over the world

Oehr

Both series have a intelligent calculating anti-hero as the protagonist, who tries to "save the world" while becoming completely crazy!

larskri

The strategical play in these animes are very similiar, I think Code Geass has a better ending though.

Varnard

both have geniues characters, Raito, L, Lelouch or his brother... and in both you can't predict what will happen next

koukatsu

same general idea of a genius trying to change the world and make it better, a similar story with the same goals, but different roads to reach them, if you will.

Vrej

Both series are about an anti hero that gains a power that he uses for a good purpose that does not end well.

Both series seems to mysteriously make you root for the bad guy though...interesting.

AvionExile

Though there isn't as much action in Death Note as there is in Code Geass, honestly, I don't believe that is the point of either anime. They're more psycological. If you liked the psycological factor of one, its the same issue in the other one. Though both are pleasantly different, they have the same aura, and I don't know anyone who like one but not the other.

skepticism

If you were pleased by Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion then you will admire Death Note. The plot is similar to Code Geass, but it has a more unsuspected ending. In both of the animes, the main characters let out the evil that was hidden in them. They get overpowered by the power to rule. It would be rude of me to spoil the anime. Try Death Note, you won't regret it.

Mantis

Both of these anime series share something in common, and that is a protagonist with a desire to change the world. Such a powerful desire though can lead to many dangers and a dysfunctional personality, as you will find from observing Lelouch from Code Geass and Light from Death Note.

Interestingly, Lelouche and Light are very similar in how they share a very deceptive personality, and how throughout the two series it's often a battle of logic between the protagonist and his nemesis.

These two series have a lot in common, and I can guarantee that if you liked one you will like the other.

Jack14456

Death Note and Code Geass both follow a similar principle: High school student gets a strange power, in one case the Death Note and the other Geass, and try to change the world with it. Both weilders of the power have amazing thinking capabilities and are the most brilliant strategists of their world, knowing both themselves and everyone around them far too well because of their personal behavior.

tsurugiayame

Both anime focus on deathmatch between two masterminds. In both cases you will probably side with the evil one, even though it depends on point of view. Both baddies are just brilliant and you always wonder how the heck are they gonna solve this problem. Also both series focus on moral dilemma. Is it bad to kill criminal? Is it right to set free your country at all costs? How far are you able to go to fullfill your mission? Are you able and willing to sacrifice your own life for your dream? These are questions you will ask yourself after you saw both of these series.

And also... final scenes of both these anime are just going to catch you unprepared... you will not be able to tell whether the ending is good or not. 

If you want to watch and think a little and not just watch, then watch these anime.

Omurqi

Code Geass and Death Note both have a smart, resolute main character with strong ideals. What if someone like that were to be given the power to achieve those goals? Code Geass and Death Note answer that question. These shows are more about strategic battles of wits then anything else. If you liked Code Geass R2, and haven't yet seen Death Note yet, give it a shot, you won't regret it.

Abusive

Both animes are about people who possess special power, and who want to use that power to achieve their goals, which is making the world a better place to live in.

if you enjoyed Code Geass, you will enjoy Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann for sure.  Both series are about the protagonist, who started out with nothing, overcoming huge odds, rebelling against a greater power.  Many twists and turns are to be expected, along with tons of mecha action.

foureyedalice

If you liked the fast-paced plot, enormous cast and genre/mood-meshing of R2, you'll almost certainly like TTGL.  TTGL is another story of casting off the chains of oppression and changing the world... by means of mecha fights and bravado, but is more upbeat and tongue-in-cheek than R2.  Despite its more lightweight (in a good way) approach, the non-stop fighting, speech-giving, big revelations, politics, and power-plays in TTGL make it a good bet for fans of R2.  

Jedo

The second part of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and the second season of Code Geass share the political instability that is usually seen in the aftermath of war and the creation of a new government. Rossiu's political trifles are comparable to Lelouch's hardships in maintaining the Empire of Brittania and that is where we can see the similarity in both titles. Other than politics, we also have a female supportive role that is strongly present in both titles in the form of Yoko Littner, Nia Teppelin, and Lelouch's ever faithful C.C.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion main image

In the future, a devastating event known as Second Impact destroyed Tokyo as we know it, giving rise to the current day Tokyo III, a city under siege by mysterious lifeforms known only as Angels. Mankind's only defense are Evangelions, man-made machines piloted by Rei, Shinji, and Asuka, all who are the tender age of fourteen. The fate of Japan and the entire world now lie with these children, though they might not have the power to save the most important thing of all: each other.

Both mechas for people who hate mechas, R2 and Evangelion share similar qualities in their presentation of psychological and philosophical drama riddled with familial and political intrigue.  If you liked the (often-difficult) character development, complex secrets, philosophical questions and fast pace of R2, you'll probably like Evangelion as well.  

alactus

Both shows have larger than life dramas with "mechas"; howver, they both also concentrate heavily on the personal relations between characters, allowing for viewing experiences that are never stale. The major theme within each show also revolves heavily around collective conscience versus individuality.

X TV

Kamui has returned to Tokyo with a traumatizing past, but he is not the only one. Many people are returning to Tokyo for the same reason: they play a part in the End of the World. The Dragons of Earth and the Dragons of Heaven now must fight for the destruction or safety of the world. But is this troubled Kamui really the key to saving the world?

Maybe it's CLAMP's story telling way that makes me think this recommendation is a good idea.

In both, Code Geass (especially the R2 part) and X-TV:

* The main cast chooses their role in war to accomplish what they believe in, and both sides are simultaneously "right" and "wrong".

* The main character risks everything he has to make sure the people he loves will have a future (Kamui, for Fuma and Kotori; Lelouch for his sister Nunally).

* The future, human emotions/actions and wishes play a very important part in the story.

* A tragedy waits to happen (and does happen).

If you liked any of those aspects in one of the series, you'll like it just as much in the other. At least I got the same "feeling" from both.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

The mission is a success, but a young man named Kira stumbles upon the fifth Gundam, and he may be the Alliance's only hope...

Both Gundam Seed and Code Geass R2 have strong political focus despite being mecha at heart and relatively fast-paced stories. They also both deal with the ethics and tragedies of war and take a slightly cheesy shounen approach. If you liked the feel of one, you'll definitely like the other as well.
