Most people hype Code Geass up to be next to perfect, but there are some... issues.


 * How the hell did V.V. ever become the kind of being he became? We learn how C.C. became like that, but V.V.?
 * Why did they physically cripple Nunally's legs in addition to what they did to her eyes?
 * Certain rows of coincidences, like the way Lelouche got the Geass (and survived. First he just happened to be in a position to help after the crash of the truck, fell into the truck by accident, just happened to be found by the patrol that had Suzaku in it, who ended up saving his life while C.C. was still out cold and just happened to delay Lelouche's death long enough for C.C. to fully wake up and do her thing... If you think about it, the chances of all that happening are practically 0.
 * A being he just met for the very first time told Suzaku that the person he knew and trusted from early childhood is a mass murderer... and he immediately swallows it, discards his conviction that killing is wrong and set's out to kill his best friend without even giving him a chance to explain or refute the charges.
 * The Black Knights believing Schneizel rather than Zero. The guy who personally ordered the creation of and authorized the use of a WMD that just killed more then !!30 million!! civilians tells people who's lives were saved multiple times by Zero that Zero is responsible for a massacre on a few thousand civilians without providing any proof and they believe him and turn on Zero. No one even thinks of demanding proof or demanding that Schneizel plays the entire audio recording, instead of just 5 seconds of out-of-context stuff.

Especially those last two points really irk me. It works out well enough for the overall story and the ending is just so great I'd even forgive 5 "my firsts are crying", but it's still irking me to no end if I think about it too much. ^^

AND something I'm somewhat pissed at that they never revealed C.C.'s real name even though Lelouche learned it! In one of the spinn-off manga she's contributed to have been Jean d'arc, but I don't think that matches up with the lip-movements of Lelouche... besides it's from the spinn-off anyway, not the main series.

As for the list, I'd put Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica there too, but that might just be personal taste.
