really i personally believe that....this anime is on the level of deathnote.....may not be on the intellectual level but ...as a whole a touching series....sorry for not adding SPOILER ALERT....
Frankly, I wasn't impressed with Code Geass. It was a great time killer I'll give it that, but it really wasn't that well made if you compare it to real animes like Death Note and Mushi-shi. I found many things that I just didn't like about it.
I believe Lelouch is alive as well...I believe he achieved Code Geass: having the Geass from C.C. and then having the Code of immortality from Charle's (either that or that "contract" to protect the world with Suzaku actually gave him a Code). I think his death was needed to activate the Code....at least that is what I like to think.
There is that Taken out Ending for the origional Japanese version where he was revealed to be the driver of the wagon...it was promptly taken out in order for the viewer to make their own choice instead.

This ^^ is true.. The flaw is in vision Nunnally sees and the piece of origami which on the cart next to C.C. Nunnally taught Lelouch how to do it in the beginning of the series..
Code Geass was a fantastic anime, definitely one of my favorites. Personally I prefer it over Death Note because, in my opinion, the characterization is much better. Death Note was a great psychological run and the wit battle between Light and L was fantastic, but let's be realistic: most of the cast was pretty one-dimensional. Admittedly Light was very well developed and had many dimensions to his character, adding to the whole moral question of the series itself, and L was a likeable character (my personal favorite) with great intellect. However, aside from L, I can't say I liked anybody else in Death Note. Light was objectively a well-made character but everything he did reeked of hypocrisy and he lost sight of his original goal very fast and descended into madness. This carries over all the way to
Light's death, in which he dies like a pathetic failure.
People compare Light and Lelouch all the time but in my view, not only is Lelouch just as well-made, but he's easily more likeable. Lelouch genuinely cares about the people around him, a trait that Light lost very early on, and actually holds guilt for his actions and keeps the interests of world peace to the very end, while Light takes his god complex to the max and decides that his way IS the right way even though he became as evil as any other criminal he killed. Furthermore, Death Note presents a fantastic moral question early on, but by the end it feels more like Light's the bad guy and his opponents are the good guys, even though all of them are definitely strange twists on that. All through Geass it felt like a clash of different ideals, and aside from probably just V.V., I didn't feel any character was truly evil or unlikeable and everyone had a justifiable reason to take the action they did.
As for my take on the ending of Code Geass,
I believe that Lelouch is indeed dead. In my opinion it's utterly pointless to leave him alive. He may be my personal favorite character, but in fact it's BECAUSE he sacrificed himself for good that his character struck me as so amazing. He gave up his own life and made the entire world hate him for the sake of Zero Requiem and world peace, and something that profound should not be butchered by a stupid deus ex machina that brings him back. It ruins everything the last episode did for Lelouch and the series as a whole.
