If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Wait, you are the guy who said that Code Geass and Death Note are "serious anime", where "every action is backed up with a very solid foundation of evidence so cleverly that there aren't any loopholes". Sorry, I'll go back to not taking you seriously, I forgot you are a troll.
unno, I really enjoyed it.
As for CG and DN, I agree I was pushing it a little (it was late and I was slightly intoxicated), DN I liked the way they developed the story but the ending blew, but I really liked CG. the "solid foundation of evidence ..." aside, what was so wrong with CG?
Code Geass was insane and nonsensical. Its only possible to enjoy if you turn your brain off, and not care about all the ridiculous, stupid crap that happens post-Euphemia.
Only because they screwed up the whole storyline by switching writers at the end.. -.- I personally think that CG was the best I've ever seen, but that's because it was the first/second anime I've ever watched. I am hardcore CG fan and will not except your blasphemy!!!! ಠ_ಠ
Code Geass averages out to be fine, if you turn your brain off. But saying its the best ever? With all the huge, gaping, monstrous flaws of R2? No way. Saying its clever? Smart? Serious? You gotta be kidding me. The fucking emperor went from being a bad guy, to a good guy, to oh wait hes still a bad guy, to transforming into a rocket, and then evaporates, all in a single episode. And thats just a single example of the shit that happened in R2.
I guess we can all agree to disagree. There were issues but I enjoyed it and I think there's a reason R2 not R1 is on top10 ANN.
On a different note, I feel like you've had a lot of experience with anime, what were some that you really enjoyed? (not sarcasm)

Like what ridiculous stupid crap? they explained Geass, there was a clear direction where the anime was going, although I admit the collective conscious thing was kinda wack but the end was pretty brilliant in my opinion, and the overall conflict with the like the whole Britannia Empire thing was concluded pretty satisfyingly I think.
A clear direction where it was heading. And then, suddenly, Lelouch is the Emperor of Brittania. There wasn't any clear direction it was going, not with the show constantly trying to one-up itself with twists. The way they concluded R2 wasn't bad (with the exception stuff like this: + Show Spoiler +
), but that still doesn't make up for the entire thing. Spazer pointed out some of the other crap in R2, so I won't rehash it.
Geass did have some stuff going for it. The Nightmare Frames are pretty cool, especially the arms-race between the Lancelot and the Gurren. The setting itself is also pretty good imo. But the execution of the series, the longer it went on, was just laughable.

Look at the recommendation list for a community-generated list of recommended animes!
And I'm pretty sure that its rating is just due to the droves of slathering fanboys or something along those lines (;D), and there's probably something about it being the continuation/culmination of everything that played a role.

If you want to check out our favorites, I guess you could look at our MALs. Mine, and you can find other TL guy's lists too.
I don't live by ANN, but from looking at what they have on the list, I think it's AT LEAST an indication that they pass the line between horrible anime and rest. At the very least.
Cool. You're into some pretty old stuff. I'm a big OP fan too :D Wow you've seen a lot (a lot of old ones too) animes
EDIT: I looked at the MAL's community generated recommendations too. Lo and behold, shares many titles with ANN.

Community generated lists are a good indication of popularity. It's hard to derive any other sort of information from these rankings though, since everyone has their own metric for this kind of stuff, and tastes also vary wildly. This is why recommendation lists are generally better, even if they are still very opinionated, because at the very least, they don't try to rank stuff according to some arbitrary scale.
Also, sequels tend to have better ratings if they don't completely suck. People who didn't like the first season won't watch the second, so they won't rate the sequel. So since there are a fewer number of bad ratings, the average rating of the sequel will end up being higher. In theory, anyway.

Wait, you are the guy who said that Code Geass and Death Note are "serious anime", where "every action is backed up with a very solid foundation of evidence so cleverly that there aren't any loopholes". Sorry, I'll go back to not taking you seriously, I forgot you are a troll.
unno, I really enjoyed it.
As for CG and DN, I agree I was pushing it a little (it was late and I was slightly intoxicated), DN I liked the way they developed the story but the ending blew, but I really liked CG. the "solid foundation of evidence ..." aside, what was so wrong with CG?
Code Geass was insane and nonsensical. Its only possible to enjoy if you turn your brain off, and not care about all the ridiculous, stupid crap that happens post-Euphemia.
Only because they screwed up the whole storyline by switching writers at the end.. -.- I personally think that CG was the best I've ever seen, but that's because it was the first/second anime I've ever watched. I am hardcore CG fan and will not except your blasphemy!!!! ಠ_ಠ
Code Geass averages out to be fine, if you turn your brain off. But saying its the best ever? With all the huge, gaping, monstrous flaws of R2? No way. Saying its clever? Smart? Serious? You gotta be kidding me. The fucking emperor went from being a bad guy, to a good guy, to oh wait hes still a bad guy, to transforming into a rocket, and then evaporates, all in a single episode. And thats just a single example of the shit that happened in R2.
When I watched Code Geass, I literally did exactly that, turned my brain off.
It's a fun show with a lot of quirky things going on and the action itself is nice. So I did really enjoy it. It was fun.
But a couple of minutes of afterthought helped me understand that it wasn't something to gawk at.
It also didn't help that I had distaste for almost every character (including Lelouche) who was using military strategies that either made no sense or are completely irrelevant....either that or they were obnoxious as hell.

OMG, I was wondering about that too!
I know, right? Would have been so great if it had scenes like this: Such wasted potential. Come on Sunrise, its not like you don't own the rights to both shows!!!
Hey, I just realized something: Code Geass is one of the few "original" animes; i.e. it's one of the few animes that isn't based on a VN or manga or something. Just a random thought.
