Genre - Very influencing depending on what I'm in the mood to watch.
Studio - Only helps with connecting/finding out about other anime. Author - Only very rarely have I been influenced by the author. Recommendation - Influencing. Character Design - Somewhat influencing. Sometimes I'm picky, and sometimes I don't care. Trailers - I usually watch trailers after I become interested in something. |

Maybe I've missed the hype because Code Geass is a mecha anime, and most of my anime-watching friends (including the two that I get most of my recommendations from) aren't really into mecha anime? I, myself, don't mind watching mecha anime, but it's far from my first choice... Don't get me wrong - I had certainly heard of Code Geass before this thread, and heard it was a popular anime, but I haven't heard/read many people hype the anime based on their own personal take on it. |

Once again, I find it incredibly unreasonable how people can react negatively to hype. Sure, people will affect whether or not you will try out an anime, but other people's opinions shouldn't affect how much you like an anime. What hype does is raise your expectations to astronomical proportions, so the appropriate action is to forget the hype while watching it, not completely dissing it.

I'm a pervert.. So the anime I choose to watched is mostly influenced by those posted on /e/ So, its character design and recommendation in 1 compact bundle I do tend to stay away from loli char design and end up with series that have at least one BBB

Yeah, the mecha scenes are really just the icing on top - the broader elements of the anime are a very encaptivating and fun cast of characters, a genuinely epic and suspenseful plotline (Code Geass does this as well as any anime I've ever seen), gorgeous animation and character design, and pretty good philosophical/political intrigues. I also like how Code Geass has elements to it that seem, to me, to be inspired by things outside of the anime world. Zero, for example, reminds me a bit of V for Vendetta, while the Holy Brittania Empire reminds me a bit of Oceania in Orwell's 1984. Code Geass is definitely one of the top 10 anime that I've ever watched. Quote:
I do try to forget the hype while I'm actually watching the anime itself though. Code Geass comes very close to living up to the hype, imo, which is certainly saying something. |

I go by genre, and then character design, they typically tend to go hand in hand because I don't like mecha and (no offense to mecha fans) a lot of the characters in those shows look like Ike with a headset. (not including most the female characters)
