Code Geass Anime Review Guide To Enjoying The Series

By Joanna Walsh


Japan is known for many things. But one of the most influential and most well known thing that they have contributed to the world is anime. These can be categorized as cartoon animations with sharper features and more distinct appearances. Most of the time, these shows were based on novels and game characters that were created in the same country as well. There are those that have lived on to become the most known series of all time while others fade in comparison.

One series that is known to be successful was the anime Code Geass. Set in an alternate time line where most people use and control giant robots to win wars. You can say that the show had a successful run based on the two seasons that it was on air. However, if you want to be sure what to expect, you can always refer to a Code Geass Anime review for more information about the show.

Like many other animes, this is also a story that was derived from the Japanese comics with the same title. The story takes place during the time of the colonization of Britannia when it took over Japan. Although the concept is cliche, you can still see how the makers put it to good used. It was said that people of Japanese blood were considered as cast outs and were stripped of their rights and their freedoms as they were stripped off of their country.

Many people naturally wanted to revolt. But surprisingly the person who lead the rebellion was a Prince of Britannia which seemed ironic. There were a series of events that lead to his decision of ousting the current empire. This happened when his mother died before him. The same situation caused the current catatonic condition of his sister. When he was deported to Japan for exile, he vowed to accomplish his revenge.

He was bestowed the power of Geass which enables him to control the mind of any human being. This tool is what he used to start the rebellion. He became the leader of the movement who vowed to end the cruelty and tyranny of the empire and free the citizens.

There are many intriguing things about this show that attracts the viewers to it. Firstly, the main protagonist is not someone who can pass as a natural hero. He may have the looks and he may have the abilities but his motives are far different than that of a common hero. All he wants is pure revenge without room for forgiveness.

There are other people who have taken sides and they usually thought that the protagonist was pitiful. But sooner in the series, they realized what the prince was capable of. And things became more confusing and interesting as the hero does things that is not supposed to be done by someone with a protagonist role.

If you are looking for sharp graphics and good animated scenes, this is one of the most recommended shows that you should watch. The detail and effort put into this work is admirable. But you can also see that there are still other animes out there which can be compared to this level of graphical expertise.

As contrasting as it may seem, you can still feel and see that there is humor. It might not be consistent, but it balances the dark concept of the entire plot. Balance is always good to keep things interesting.
