What you are describing is basically Code Geass. I tried watching that show, I really did. Everyone fawns over it. I got bored after the third OMG! MAJOR PLOT TWIST! at the end of each episode. It's a formula. You use it too much, and it gets dull after a while.

NO. I FUCKING HATE THAT BOOK. I FUCKING HATE THAT BOOK SO MUCH. **FOAMING RAGE** -250 POINTS OF RESPECT

I shall take your word on that. I haven't actually read it.
