Special Year End Code Geass Anime Review

By Josephine Pennington


What started out as a popular mecha series in Japan spread like wildfire across different countries. Code Geass, which started airing on October of 2006 and ended September of 2008 has been continually a subject of talks and debates among anime fans. Not only has it managed to capture different faces of human emotions. It has also left various lessons which are applicable in todays situation.

Among the popular picks are the mecha series which reflects technological innovation we have at present and an ambitious but appealing attempt to portray earth and its future hundreds of years from now. One mecha series which has left a mark on its viewers is Code Geass. Before twenty fourteen ends, we will try to recap the highlights that made this a success in this Code Geass anime review.

Theme. Without a good theme, any series will soon be boring and confusing. This anime made sure not to fail on this aspect by providing a strong one which is revenge. It is centered on a young prince who was originally a Britannian but was forced to flee the country after an assassination to their lives that killed their mother. In order to protect his sister and to avenge their mothers death he vowed on making those responsible people pay. And for a teen shouldering this responsibility, it is difficult not to sympathize with him.

Awesome characters. His journey will not be that exciting without great characters. For the entire series, we are introduced to different characters from both his side and the Brits. The great things is, these characters are really lovely. Characters on the enemy side are not lame. In fact they can be at par with our main guy. Ans Suzaku, Lelouchs best friend turning into his enemy just made the story more exciting.

Nice touch of friendship. In a world shrouded in bloodshed, having a fresh face to it by employing the power of friendship is such a brilliant touch employed in this series. It gives off a feeling that despite all the bad things society is experiencing, there will always be people who is there for you.

Family feud. For the sake of revenge, the main character is willing to fight against his own family. This is what makes Lelouch a good character. Apart from the wit and strong will power he posses, he knows what he was doing and stays true to what he believes. While he became more like antagonistic in the end, one cannot just push a good character away with a clear motivation.

Knightmare frames. The weapons may not be as good as the modern Gundam series but they are competent enough. What makes them great is their ability to both excel in air and close combat. The best thing is, they do not look awkward when they do so. Their designs and built in capacities are also awesome. Of course, the pilots are equally admirable in their own ways.

Story. All in all, Code Geass has a great story.It is gripping, entertaining and dramatic. It is the kind of story that will make you angry because Lelouch is angry, will make you cry because an awesome character just died in the hands of your favorite one. It is capable of bringing you into the shoes of its characters.

The production of mecha animation is prolific and you have a lot of anime to choose from. But if you have not seen Code Geass, you should definitely include this on your 2014 to watch list. Be thrilled.
