The only reason for the downside what, Death Note was very much alive and at it's full peak, making it's fans get on their feet seeing Light and L going at each other but the things happened after Near took over wasn't the same as it was with L.

It was like, you couldn't predict what was going to happen but you could nearly do it with Near and Light. Only the ending, which had an obvious result still had it's hype.

Code Geass went smooth all over, without having much notable flaws or downfalls such as Death Note.

To Conclude, Death Note feels superior till L dies making Code Geass to have a better ending.
