code-geass
Was Code Geass first a light novel, manga, or anime?


It was original, the anime came first then various adaptations. You could
confirm this in
[MyAnimeList](http://myanimelist.net/anime/1575/Code_Geass__Hangyaku_no_Lelouch).
Under "Background":

> Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch is an **original anime series** by Sunrise
> animation studio with original character designs by the all-female Japanese
> manga artist group Clamp.

(Emphasis added)

Just don't be surprised that some good shows are anime-original like Psycho
Pass, Madoka, etc.

Another way to know it's anime original is that the wikipedia page calls Code
Geass an anime. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Geass>

Cf another 'anime' like Death Note: The wikipedia page calls Death Note a
manga. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note>

Of course it's just heuristic. The sure fire way is to scroll down the page
and check the release/publication date.
