So this is a post i've been wanting to make for awhile. I have been sitting on this topic for a long time some of you might get mad at me but i need to express my opinion. So there are many things people like to say to make code geass look better than death note but allot of these claims can be easily shot down let's go over a few of them shall we.
Have you heard the trumpet theme: now yes both of these shows have a great ost. Here's the thing though. I can probably name like 4 themes from the code geass ost i personally enjoy on the other hand almost all of the death note ost is something you can truly vibe to. Not only that but i could probably listen to a death note playlist while studying. It's probably better than lofi. Yeah the music in code geass really hits the nail when adding more emotion to certain moments. But it's not something i can really vibe to. Btw the trumpet theme is called the master for those unaware and it is amazing but it can't compare to a whole collective of great music.
Lelouch outsmarted a mind reader: ok and? You realize light took out the worlds greatest detective right? Im sorry but mind reading isn't a uncommon feat. Many people know how to do it. It's even a professional job for some people. Mao was a powerful foe but he had his power handed to him. L on the other hand went through years no possibly decades of studying and training to get where he was. Both are great but L is on a whole new level of intelligence. Mao has it easy all he has to do is read you're thoughts. L uses much more complex methods. Yes outsmarting a mind reader is impressive but it's not necessarily outstanding. Im sure it's been done before.
Light died like a bitch: now yes you guys are right he really did. But he was meant to suffer that type of fate. Twisted people meet twisted ends that's just how it is. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. Light is compelling because he's evil. But lelouch is even better because he's such a great heroic man. Listen i'll it code geass has a better ending and a greater protagonist. I even hated light for killing L and hoped he would get what was coming. The thing that seperates light and lelouch is that one has better morals.
Now yes these two series are almost equal. But i like death note slightly better. In the end code geass is a experience i'll never forget. But i'll always hold death note dear to my heart. Thanks for hearing me out. Im a fan of both masterpieces.

Being a mecha fan, the winner is clear in my eyes but you do have a point here. Props to you for posting this here.
I'm just gonna say I like the openings for both and have them on my liked list on YouTube that is all
Bruh death not ain't got nothin on Geass cuz.
Maybe for you. But my opinion remains.
I think it just comes down to personal preference. For me, Code Geass is far better, in that I’m unable to continue Death Note after several episodes. I won’t hate on Death Note, but it’s not my cup of tea. I believe that a person’s taste in music decides which soundtrack is better, I personally prefer the upbeat, explosive and almost magical OST of Code Geass.
