5.0 out of 5 stars
Great anime but those who collect box sets will be disappointed., August 22, 2009
This review is from: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, Part 1 (Limited Edition) (DVD)
The series from the storyline right down to the DVD menu is spectacular. However, I like collecting the box sets and was looking forward to what this one had to offer. Sadly I was shocked to see I got a paperboard sleeve with a single DVD case and a manga book inside. I figured a limited edition would come with more. The previous box sets came with two DVD cases, a manga book, audio episode, and a soundtrack. This review is solely about the box set and not about the series. I hope others will take the time to see what a great storyline this series has to offer. I was just disappointed in the overall box set of the R2 Part 1 Limited Edition.

Great Series, but buy the other edition., April 21, 2010
This review is from: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, Part 1 (Limited Edition) (DVD)
Code Geass is one of my favorites of all time, and every episode of R2 ramps the intensity higher and higher. The characters grow so much, often in surprising or terrifying ways, while the animation/music never drops in quality. Even the way it starts off throws you off balance if you remember the cliffhanger at the end of the first series, and it's all addictive.
However, the *only* limited edition feature in this box set is the bonus manga, so if you're not into the alternate universe Geass storylines with slightly different styled artwork, I wouldn't recommend it. I don't own the other edition, but the runtime is exactly the same and the only thing listed under "limited edition features" on my box is the manga. The Limited Edition discs come in one case (with the manga filling the empty space in the sleeve, which makes it hard to shelve if you want to keep the sleeve unless you let the manga stay there), and I don't own the other edition so it's possible that the other one has two cases contained in each sleeve.
But honestly the Limited Edition is not worth the extra money since if you really wanted the bonus manga you could buy it separately with the other edition. And your total price would probably still be cheaper.

Second time's the charm, May 22, 2010
This review is from: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, Part 1 (Limited Edition) (DVD)
Zero is back better than ever. These episode are really well done and prove that the author have not lost is touch. If you have not started watching code geass before do not start here code geass as one of the best character developement ever and watching all the change all the lead made (especially poor suzaku yes i said it i actually understand suzaku a little now) in the first season is very important toward understanding they view on the world. For some reason the first season is cheaper and include way mor contant with the dvd. but in my opinion these episode are worth getting just for the quality of the anime itself.
