Special Year End Code Geass Anime Review

By Josephine Pennington


The impact of Japanese animation to pop culture can no longer be taken for granted. If before the influence are solely focus in Japan and its neighboring countries like the Philippines, now it has gone worldwide. Western countries such as the US have solid fandoms on different anime such as Naruto and One piece.

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.

Strong and consistent theme. Compared to other anime series that plays along different themes in an attempt to capture more viewers, Code Geass centered on revenge and made it a very strong driving force by making it a motivation for the protagonist, Lelouch Lamperouge. From his desire to flee Britannia to his plan on bringing down the royalties who killed his mother, Lelouch became a figure with a clear motivation for the entire story.

Characterization. No matter how good the plot, without great and relatable characters, you still cannot get attached to the story. But Code Geass created awesome characters that are easy to like. Each of them, especially the main ones are reflective of a particular group of people. It should not be a surprise then to love the antagonists as the story unfolds.

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 conflict. Revenge might be a common theme to a lot of anime. But if it has something to do with going against your family in a battle to death, then that is an entirely different story. But this is exactly what Code Geass has done. And they did it great. In a span of fifty episodes, covering two seasons, the story managed to lay down family issues and the motivations that behind each members actions.

Weapons.If the Gundam series called them mobile suits, this anime termed them as Knightmare frames.It is not as big as the gundam units but are equally capable of inflicting huge damage. Their ability to get into close combat is also great.

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.
