While I have issues with the word 'anti-hero', I agree that Lelouch, so far, is being more ambiguous than Light-esque heartless slide into evildom. He's resisting, so to speak. But again, the word Taniguchi used was 悪人, it's more straightforward, but the connotations were less...strong than in English. I can't find a word that settles on it properly, so I used 'villain'.
That's one of the reasons I stayed on for the ride, really. One of the early interviews with...I think it's Oukouchi...states that this is a 'success story', which means Lelouch would get *some* kind of win by the end. Of course, he also says it's a revenge tragedy, so maybe it turns out into a Hamlet-esque commentary on revenge as well. (Besides, Taniguchi's doing his usual thus far and Lulu's 'evil' are not without real social consequences. I'd like to see that)
And don't worry about thanking me :D!!! I'm more than happy to get discussion. ^_^
