You'll probably be done with Naruto before Naruto is done, if you know what I mean. Code Geass has the potential to stretch out into a multiple-season unending juggernaut like Bleach, Naruto, Dragonball Z, One Piece, or various other shows that just refused to die, but also appears to have a solid chance of simply telling its story and wrapping things up appropriately. I don't follow the industry well enough to predict this with any confidence, aside from an understanding that there will almost certainly be a second season. The nature of this story, involving rebellion against a powerful occupation army, merits taking more than twenty-five episodes to tell, but I certainly hope it doesn't stretch past fifty or so.

I just couldn't start up a post about Code Geass without a caveat. It turns out that I couldn't start it up without a lot of caveats. Heck, since writing this two days ago I've watched another five episodes. Considering that I've only found the time and interest for a couple of new anime this season, I must really be enjoying this one! What can I say?

And I thought "Throwing some stereotypical shy-students-in-love-dodecahedron tripe in with a contrived romantic-comedy harem or Japanese Liberation Front sci-fi war saga, and it’s bound to be trouble" was particularly very felicitously expressed. Anyhoo, all these issues, as you pointed out, somehow actually managed to draw me in instead of pushing me away. So I'm with you on being unclear as to why to invest in Code Geass (but the emotional capital has already been proferred to Sunrise)^^ ~huamulan03 AKA nik who begs for your indulgence in having commented... not really much *sweatdrop* What a marvellously roundabout way of recommending a series ^^ Would’ve totally worked for me if I wasn’t already following Code Geass. ^^ ITA with all your bullet points, esp. bullet four.
