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 top series that has made name in the industry is Code Geass. This belongs to the mecha category and is in league with the popular Gundam series. Before twenty fourteen ends, we will try to take a look at the things that made this series a blast. Let us take a peek at this short 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.
Great friendship. When things get rough and blood starts to spill over the place, one thing that can relieve the tension and give us a fresh new start is friendship. The creators of this anime took this seriously and gave us a wonderful treat. There were of course deaths. But all in all, the bond that they made along the painful journey was unbreakable.
Battle against family members. Whereas mainstream conflict involves people fighting against villains who are originally strangers to the main character, this animes villains are the family of our protagonist. So it is no longer just our typical good versus bad scenario.
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.
If you have not yet watched the series and is currently wrapping up your 2014 anime list, this should definitely be among your top picks. It is a cocktail of emotions with awesome revelations. A must watch.
