What draws you to Geass?

Why yes we are a poll. And yes I do live here. After reading something verity_isle said about people watching Geass for the lulz only and following most of the anime blogs, I asked myself why I watch Geass. I realized the answer has changed from the time I started watching the series to just after the Mao arc, when Geass suddenly became my *show* as I once viewed my other fave Naruto. So as usual, I have two questions to pose:


1. Why did you originally start watching Geass? When might be cool to know too since I know we have people here since October and others who recently marathoned the whole thing. It seems to me when a person started watching Geass partially determines the why.

2. Why do you stick with Geass AKA what do you love about it?


For me, I started with Geass sheerly because 1.)it was Clamp, 2.)Lelouch looks like Kamui and 3.)I love Kamui no matter what hell he puts me through. I did originally just watch it for the WTFery, although I always adored Lelouch. Now I admit I'm into the political intrigue and just how Lelouch is going to screw himself deal with things next. I might add more to this later but I'd rather hear some others first.

1. I originally started watching it (around the time seven or eight was out?) because aestalitz was and I didn't have anything else to watch this season, since the Death Note and DGM animes just didn't hook me and, as one of those damn ex-Destiny junkies, the I liked the animation style in general. Geass actually didn't hook me at first, either, but I kept watching because I liked Suzaku, Lloyd, Cecile, and Millay, which made up for my general disappointment with Lelouch ("What kind of badass rebel leader has his grand scheme to overthrow the evil empire threatened by a cat?" His incompetence didn't jive well with me until he started being a woobie to people who aren't Nunally). Euphie and Cornelia joined that mix later, too.

2. I love Britannia. I'm not much of a Lulu fan, and it was only with episode 19 that I stopped actuallly disliking him. I keep watching the series for the Britannians still. It's definitely those characters that keep me interested, and I want to see what happens to them (for some reason, they're more dynamic to me than the Black Knights. Aside from Lulu and Karen, there's no one goofy like Lloyd, sweet like Euphie, and "LOL KICK YOU IN THE FACE" like Cornelia). Sure, there may not be anything stunningly original about what's going on, but it's good entertainment.
