Pilot Episode Thoughts
Wars! Wars! Wars! The show is set after a war, a nation overtaking Japan and changing everything including culture and lifestyle. Form What I see, this is about government issues and conspiracies. Fighting against the bigger enemy and having this mind, this weapons to overtake.
Interestingly, this anime is not afraid to kill characters, well, it's the first episode and we do not have any emotional attachment yet but, yeah, You can see early on what to expect moving forward.
“Time flows constantly, it doesn’t care about the people who are struggling.” – Lelouch Lamperouge
Full review
This show is good. I like the elements from the show, how they parallel chess games in war, how the show maximizes the use of mind control, and how far politics can go.
The show is massive political and war-driven. It magnifies deeper layers between two parties. It has hints of mystery, power, and curiosity. The plot is interesting, you have to give your full attention so you won't miss any details, especially the reveals as you go along the story.
It has all kinds of twists and turns. But, this is different, even though the twist happens every few episodes, you won't be able to guess what's going to happen next. It's crazy, massive twists that can throw away all the things that you think would make sense in the end.
It took me a long time to finish this but this anime is goooooooooood!

The Finale
Up to the end, we opened with a plot twist. Yup, this show has plenty in its pockets. We are peaking at the current battle and it's insane that it doesn't feel like it's going to end anytime soon. But it is ending in our eyes, the battle showed us results from left and right.
Lives have been lost and we are headed to an unexpected end. Have I told you about the plot twist in this show? Yes, another one in the end. A surprising, controversial but satisfying ending.
This is one of the well-written endings for me.
ALL HEIL LELOUCH!!
“There are times in life when you have to distance yourself from those you love, because you love them.” – C.C
My takeaway
Manipulation, getting what you want, and trying to control everything may lead us to the destruction of ourselves.
What can you sacrifice for the greater good?
