I think my big problem with Code Geauss was that it didn't do enough to earn suspension of disbelief, so when it tried to get going it slammed into the "WTF?!" wall.
It does a terrible job of trying to ease us into it's world, and it give no sign that its just trying to be for fun or that its not taking itself seriously, so it just hits you and you're like "I have no idea WTF is going on here and I don't think I care".
That I find LeLouch a massively unlikable character. I don't see how anyone gets through a conversation with him without at least one attempted strangling each time. I don't care that people with the Geauss ability are supposedly immortal - "immortal" to me is just a lame excuse for "bitches not tryin' hard enough".
