i found it hard to rate R2 by itself and not as part of the entire Code Geass story. as a whole Code Geass was a solid 8 for me. however, R2 wasn't as awesome as i wanted it to be. a lot of random stuff thrown around, a lot of useful stuff thrown away etc etc etc. ultimately, i think it tried to please fans too much. but in any case, it was still enjoyable. i wanted to give it a 6.5 but since the voting is in whole numbers, i'll round it up to 7 because of the way the series ended
