Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch
On August 10th of the year 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sights set on Japan. Operations were completed in one month thanks to Britannia's deployment of new mobile humanoid armor vehicles dubbed Knightmare Frames. Japan's rights and identity were stripped away, the once proud nation now referred to as Area 11. Its citizens, Elevens, are forced to scratch out a living while the Britannian aristocracy lives comfortably within their settlements. Pockets of resistance appear throughout Area 11, working towards independence for Japan. Lelouch, an exiled Imperial Prince of Britannia posing as a student, finds himself in the heart of the ongoing conflict for the island nation. Through a chance meeting with a mysterious girl named C.C., Lelouch gains his Geass, the power of the king. Now endowed with absolute dominance over any person, Lelouch may finally realize his goal of bringing down Britannia from within! (Source: Bandai Entertainment)

Code Geass is a difficult series to review, simply because all of its defining features are things which some consider strengths and others weaknesses. Perhaps this is why there's such a rift in the fanbase, and it's one of those series which everyone seems to either love or hate. SO, I'm going to s…

Read full review on AniList →~~~This is one of those cases where even giving it less than a 100 wouldn't be fair. Code Geass is an anime with a truly remarkable plot, characters, and thematic exploration. Let's take a closer look at each component that led me to give Code Geass a 100 out of 100. Plot: I'd like to say a lot, bu…

Read full review on AniList →Code Geass is a magnificent anime that is incredibly psychologically, emotionally, philosophically and politically deep. Lelouch is the best protagonist I have ever seen. He is extremely complex and morally grey as well as highly intelligent and in tune with his emotions. He belongs to the famous a…
Read full review on AniList →As is obvious from the summary this is my favorite show so I am biased in a sense. Although I have 0 nostalgia for this show (I didn't watch it til I was about 18-19) the first time I saw it I must admit I was so encapsulated by the show that I saw none of its flaws. So although I have no nostalgia…
Read full review on AniList →Seriously, this anime is the proven proof that if the script is really good, you don't need to be too original to succeed. And the script is really good! It looks like it came out of Shakespeare's typewriter (although he didn't have one). I believe that Lelouch is one of the protagonists most tortur…

Read full review on AniList →Code Geass es una tragedia estratégica vestida de anime. Una obra que entiende el poder no como una herramienta de justicia, sino como una carga que corrompe, aísla y destruye. Es una historia sobre decisiones irreversibles, sobre la línea difusa entre el héroe y el tirano, y sobre cómo la inteligen…
