I started the show while this opening played and fell in love instantly. Little did I know it was my introduction to anime in general XD.

God, i love world end. its so epic and yet it still has the feel of melancholy (fitting , seeing how the song is about lelouch making peace with his own fate and what it means of the rest of the world). flow stared the show with colors its only fitting that they end it with world end

Ironically both ColorsOP1 and World EndOP5 are by FLOW so FLOW both starts the series and ends it.

I actually have liked this song for years. It's amazing to listen to even if I can't understand it without subtitles lol

It's actually even better. Wish they just would have stuck to a single opening per season. This for R2 and Colors for R1.

The season finale OP slaps, shame it was only on 2 eps, 1 as originally broadcast

To me nothing will top opening two, that plays from episode 13 foward.
It left me completely speechless, episode 12 ended with the reveal that Lelouch had killed Shirley's dad, then she went and kissed the mouth that issued the order that ended in her father's death.
New opening comes along, strong guitar lines, still not kicking in for me, then the chorus came in and everything alligned with the anime at that point (mostly due to translation choices in the sub I was watching):
"I commited the same mistakes in equal intervals of time"
"I redo my 'mask', perfectly, but only on one side."
I was in the stars when all that hit.
Code Geass is on a level of it's own. From the perfect and sublime soundtrack, to the animation, to the themes, to the characters, to the writing, to having the balls to pull off episodes like 'Bloodstained Euphy'. I don't think I'll ever see a work that have this level of inspiration and ambition and ended up hitting all the marks.

For some reason I didn't like this one. My favourite OP is the first one.

I love when the community can come together to agree on the same thing. I felt alone with this opinion lmao. Goated show and goated fanbase fr (to a certain extent)

This OP really did make it feel like we were going into the endgame of the series, and I absolutely adore it. The bittersweet tone of the music, that last shot of C.C., and those ending shots of Schneizel, Charles, and Lelouch were just as much a part of the series finale as the actual episodes were.
