After watching episode 1, I say Code Geass is the anime to watch this season - alongside Kanon 2006.
I don't really care about the 'zomg evil gaijin empire' because hah that does not concern me at all. It's just a pretty generic imperialistic empire that's very common throughout the 19th century that happens to have the name "Britainnica" and rules over Europe and America...
What I'm enjoying is how the main character's a freaking badass. Final scene evil laugh for the win. I like the set up - evil empire oppresses people, main character gets amazing powers and start pwning the empire. Sounds good to me. It really sent the chills down in me when I was watching the last 1/4 of this episode.
Looks like this'll be my 'quality mecha fix' for this season...
