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.

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.

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.
