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.

I started watching Geass because lots of people were saying it was good and I like Fukuyama Jun. I started dling it after it first came out, but only started watching it after the 8th episode was out. I meant to only watch a little bit but ended up watching all 8 episodes in a row. X.D Before starting to watch the series, I thought "Geass" was pronounced as "gay-ass." X.D That is, until I saw how it was written in Japanese. OOOHHHHHH~~~ "GIasu." X.D

I continue to watch the series because it's so damn good! LoL. I love Fukuyama's performance as Lelouch, Sakurai is great as Suzaku (*obviously a seiyuu fan*), and the story is just really interesting. The cliffhangers really keep you on the edge, as evil as they are.
