A Code Geass Anime Review Of The Program

By Krystal Branch


When someone searches for the term 'code geass anime review' online, they will come up with results of a Japanese TV series. This series, by Sunrise, has proved to be extremely popular in several parts of the world, not only in Japan. The program is about a boy named Lelouch Lamperouge and his close family. His sister and his father feature in the series too.

The TV series depicts Lelouch in Japan, on a quest to discover the murderer of his mother, and to bring peace to the country. His quests are difficult, however, because he has to ensure the care of his disabled and blind sister, Nunally. Support for Lelouch is provided from a friend, Suzaku Kururugi, as well as from C. C, a girl who he meets when he is in much need of help.

C. C is a girl who shows up unexpectedly and saves Lelouch's life. This was when he was about to be killed by the Britannian Royal Guard. She took a bullet for him. C. C is a green-haired girl with a tattooed forehead, and she is the one who enabled Lelouch to have his power, or Geass. This power is also known as 'the King's power', and it allows Lelouch to have complete control over others. He ordered the guards to die, so they shot themselves.

Lelouch's new power helps him with his greatest desire, to create a place in which his younger sister can live in peace. He struggles through many battles to try and discover who is responsible for his mother's death, and to overcome the Britannian Empire. Lelouch has quite a difficult life because he has to act just like any other schoolboy at times, while at heart he is this hero with important missions.

The first of the series was called 'Lelouch of the Rebellion'. The broadcast of the series throughout Japan started in November, 2006, on Animax, after the initial premier in October on the Mainachi Broadcasting System television network. Due to the excellent response of the public, a sequel was made, and called 'Lelouch of the Rebellion R2'.

In March, 2007, 'Lelouch of the Rebellion R2' was announced to the public. There was an article about it in an issue of Newtype. Three premiers were held for the new series that showed the first program of the series, in Osaka and Tokyo. Those who attended included the stars from Japan who do the voices for the characters. A few thousand other people were also able to view the premiers.

Lelouch and his quests were allowed to be aired in the United States by Bandai Entertainment in 2008. The programs were shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block, and proved popular. Americans could view both series in their own language. Soon, the series moved to the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand.

Furthermore, related products can be purchased, such as two soundtracks for the program and a couple of light novels. Fans in Japan can buy Japanese video games as well. Perhaps consider leaving a review on code geass anime online if you enjoyed the series.
