I would say yes, though it wasn't all that bad because it managed to be entertaining. However, because of its inherent storytelling, R2 had to deliver several things in a very specific way that did not work in the end, well at least for me.
Perhaps it was because of my expectations, but R2 failed to execute properly the events that would involve the world into a total war.
5/10 - below average
I have rated for myself the first season as 8,5. However, because of the fact R2 was meant to give all the answers (which is absolutely not the case here) and THE conclusion, its value has a bigger impact than the first season, and I would give the franchise a very "fragile" 6/10 in the end. This is basically showing how disappointed I'm.
This "essay" is of course my only opinion, and i don't pretend to get an appreciation more worthy than anyone else's.

Anyone who has ever complained about my ranting and ravings, just look at this, Klashikari, utterly destroyed Code Geass.
I have stated that I feel people are not hard enough, and you hit a home run, that was simply beautiful. I also can't find any real fault with your logic.
They didn't answer a whole lot, and as I stated except for about 5 characters the character development was crap.
While some of it can be blamed on the time change, a lot of it can't, they chose to empasize plot twists over actual story telling, they chose to ignore developing characters, and for that you have a ton of characters you hate.
A 10/10 shouldn't need defending since it should be perfect.
A 10/10 shouldn't have any characters you hate.
A 10/10 shouldn't include the words The Scrappy
A 10/10 shouldn't include the words Rescue from the Scrappy Heap
A 10/10 shouldn't leave you wondering what happened
An example my favorite manga is FMA, and I love every single character, I love the Chimeras, I love the soldiers, I love the plot, I love the villains. They don't have a lot of plot twists, because you don't need plot twists.
For that review you deserve a postive rep
I have given you your postive rep
