yes i think so...

well you could just download the first 3 episodes (if you use something like utorrent or azureus this won't be a problem)

but to sum some good points up:

good and really nice story ( you cant tell which side is good or which side is bad)
mecha fights (once you get used to the fact that they move on something like rollerblades , they are really nice)
and it has C.C. in it :P (one of the female characters in the anime )
Lelouch is a very interesting main character and i like his voice actor
