A Code Geass Anime Review Article

By Krystal Branch


This TV series has been a huge hit in Japan, as well as in other countries around the world, and if you search for 'code geass anime review' on the internet, you will find plenty of information about it. This series, made in Japan, came about by Sunrise, and the main character in the show is Lelouch Lamperouge. Lelouch's family is involved in the show as well. Nunnally is his sister.

The series is all about Lelouch and his troubles and triumphs in Japan. He searches for his mother's killer while looking after his sister and her special needs because she is blind and crippled. Suzaku Kururugi is one of Lelouch's close friends. During the first series, Lelouch also meets C. C.

C. C has stunning, green hair and a tattoo on her forehead, and she came to Lelouch's rescue as he was about to be executed by the Britannian Royal Guard. C. C offered Lelouch a 'contract', whereby if he fulfills her one wish, he shall have the King's power, or Geass. When Lelouch uses this power, he is able to make anyone do anything he commands. For example, to escape his execution by the guards, he ordered them to die. The guards then shot themselves with their own guns.

After Lelouch had contact with C. C, he finds out how he can use his power to assist with his mission to conquer the Britannian Empire. He also continues to search for his mother's killer. Lelouch's greatest wish is perhaps to enable his younger sister, Nunally, to live in peace, away from fighting and death. Lelouch's double life is tricky, because he is both an inspirational leader fighting against the nation's oppressors and an ordinary schoolboy.

This TV series was aired in Japan in 2006. The first series was named 'Lelouch of the Rebellion'. After its initial premier in October, it was broadcast to the rest of Japan, on Animax, in November. The premier on the 7th of October was handled by MBS, the Mainachi Broadcasting System television network. The public loved the show, and a second series was developed.

The sequel was first announced early in March of 2007, in print in an issue of Newtype. Before it was available on television, there were three private shows of the first episode. These shows were also in March, in the cities of Osaka and Tokyo. The Japanese stars who did the voices of the characters were invited to the private screenings, as well as a few thousand randomly selected persons.

Americans were able to see both series, starting with the first, in 2008. They were then also aired in the Philippines and Australia. Bandai Entertainment on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block, was the broadcaster in America. The series could be watched in these countries in English.

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.
