 If you liked Cowboy Bebop |  ...then you might like Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch |
Cowboy Bebop earns its reputation for its combination of fighting and original character matchings, as does Code Geass. If you liked Spike, Zero takes it to a much larger scale when Spike's close range combat is bought into the scale of international war.
The strength of these shows lies in the charming and cool characteristics that the protagonist exudes. Spike from Cowboy Bebop is exhibits the chill and relaxed type of cool, while Lelouch from Code Geass shows more charisma and passion in his goals. Also, both shows have fights in different mode, such as gun fights, mecha fights (in CB, it's space ship), and clash of ideals. Did I mention that both are made by Sunrise?

Both feature laid back formidable main characters (Lelouch & Spike). Both have sci-fi influence and amazingly designed mecha/machinery. Both characters have a mysterious past intrinsic to the plot of the show.

Arguably the top notch shows of their era that defines their quality and writing. The main protagonists Lelouch and Spike are characters that you can relate in real life unlike standard anime. The themes of both shows really touch my heart to the point that it feels mature to the point that I can apply in real life. Even a non anime fan can take these shows a shot so that limited selection can be shown to those who have an avid interest. Definitely recommend one or the other if you saw one.

Although Code Geass and Cowboy Bebop are vastly different, skilful in their own respect Lelouch and Spike set off with their right-hand man, Jet and C.C. along an incredible journey filled with great action, and the many different abstract books that of people create for themselves. Both are great sci-fi anime classics both brought to you by the studio Sunrise.
