I did write one but I went well over the character limit. I managed to make a graph with my ASCII art skills too.

Yeah this and Death note both do such a good job of characterizing their protagonists its hard not to root for them.
Although I'm not sure I'd fully consider Lelouch a 'villain' per se even though he's clearly got some screws loose and willing to go to extreme measures his goal could at least be considered noble. Whereas even though you could make a similar argument about Light at the beginning of Death Note it becomes clear pretty quickly that he really did just want to become a god and so fits well and truly in the 'villain category'.
Anyway just my 2 cents. Looking forward to your reactions for where things go from here.

As soon as I heard you ask what the difference between these mechs and gundam were, I immediately searched the comments for the essay Antonjo was about to write lmao

Rooting for the villain is fun. Code Geass and Death Note aired around the same time and you can see why people draw comparisons between the two main characters.

The drama is very good in the climax here and this is also when I think Lelouch cemented himself as a fan favorite

Yeah, the start of the new season will be confusing at first. Just roll with it until things get explained.
