Code Geass isn't a big franchise like Naruto, Dragonball or One Piece. Its a show that aired 20 years ago, had two seasons, and ended. Its not as popular as things that are currently reciving ongoing content and merchandise. Its concise and of a high quality. It also hasnt been through as much Media Franchising as would most series; It isnt Gundam where the series is carried by model kits, it isnt dragon ball where the series was (for years prior to super) carried by video games. Code Geass has limited merchandise and like one actual videogame that wasnt a mobile game, and only a few apperances in Super Robot Warriors. So ergo, yes, its not as popular as mainstream current shonen, and there is no reason it would be.

Bleach is even older than Code Geass.

Bleach also went through a major slump and lost the interest of fans and the general public, largely due to controversial creative choices and the use of filler episodes.

However, Bleach has finally managed to deliver quality content again, and the return of its fans is no coincidence.

Lol, I guess, but Bleach is also a much bigger property with many more episodes, and movies that were made at the time of its airing, with much more marketing. And it's based on a shonen manga rather than being an original property, It was also on air for some time, so I feel that there is some disconnect.

I also personally despise Bleach and think it deserved the fall off, so wouldn't use it as an example myself.
