Death Note vs. Code Geas

The biggest argument I see between anime watchers is Death Note vs. Code Geass (the shows, NOT the actual things). So which one do you think is the best? Death Note or Code Geass?

And say why you think one or the other is better.

Sigh, I wrote a whole long post explaining why I thought they were both about the same, in my opinion, and then I accidently closed the page...sigh.

I'm not rewriting the whole thing again, so I'll just paraphrase myself:

I think they're both great in their own sense, and I believe Death Note has a deeper intellectual battle, while code Geass has a good intellectual battle, with awesome powers and mechas. Overall, they both have the depth and epicness of each other, just in different ways.

So my opinion is neither is better than the other, and both are epic.

Now if you asked me which ending I liked better, I would say, 100%, Code Geass' ending was so much better, and more epic. I loved the way it ended, and so, in my opinion, Code Geass has a far better ending.

I think the Death note anime was indeed better than Code Geass.

The reason for this? I think the characters in Death note were way better developed, and the storyline was a whole lot more interesting. Although both were similar in the intelligent strategy area, I'd say death note really executed it well. Death note did start to fall apart a bit later on, but the first part of the show was good enough to cover for this. So I really think this was a great anime and better than Code Geass.

Not by much though.
