Character ages in Code Geass

[ianiceboy.livejournal.com]

Does any character's age (e.g. Lelouch, C.C., Euphemia, Tianzi) have a bearing on your enjoyment of Code Geass? Positive or negative?

Yeah, but those are all side characters. The main ones, the ones who were most important to the plot and had the most character development and emotional focus (Lelouch, Suzaku, CC, Kallen, Shirley, etc) were all teenagers.

Granted, CC is an old teenager, but she's still a teenager. Basically an eternal 16 year old!

C.C. is not an old teenager. She may eternally look sixteen, but her attitudes and actions are not teenage. Lelouch may be jaded, but C.C. is world-weary, manipulative, and consciously selfish.

Don't get me wrong; she's my favourite character, and she's my only favourite character from any anime who is not an adorable girl. She does look adorable, but she is not a girl. (Except for episodes 40-45.)

I would disagree with that. She has her moments where she actually does seem quite old, and even wise, but she never really grew up and became an adult - she's very immature and selfish, and though it could be argued that it's because she's so old and tired of life I think at least part of it is due to her being stuck in a teenager's body, with a teenager's hormones and lack of foresight and stuff.

Wait, Schneizel is 28? So when he says "I have never lost a game to my brother" and Lelouch left at 10...that means Schneizel was in his late teens (or 20 years old) and his opponent was a small child. Who he appears to have taken some pride in defeating.
Oh Lordy, Schneizel.
