This popularity is no longer just limited to the long running favorite series Naruto which is coming to an end. At present, teens and adults across different continents are consuming different genres of anime that they can get their hands into.
Code Geass is written by Ichiro Okouchi and directed by Goro Taniguchi. In this Code Geass anime review, we will tackle some of the things that made the anime a popular hit among teens and adults alike. If you have watched then entire series, you are welcome to drop in your comments as well.
A dominant theme that has fueled the entire series is revenge. It is about a young Britannian prince who lived in Japan under a different name, Lelouch Lamperouge, in order to find out the culprit of the assassination attempt to him and to his family when he was still a kid. Lelouch looks like any other teens of his age. What they do not know however is the scheme he is plotting to take down the Britannian empire who has conquered Japan.
Characters. This series goes beyond what an anime fan could consider competent in terms of characterization. The characters are solid, relatable and lovely. They can easily be distinguished from one another. More importantly they have their own principles which they managed to portray really well.
Friendship and romance. In a story which centers on war, revenge and politics, it is easy to dismiss the idea of making a good sideline story that has a touch of friendship and romance. But Code Geass manage to do just that. And it is not the type of story that just exists for the sake of having it. It has been weaved into the series real good that it managed to draw out more emotions from the viewers.
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.
Combat and weapons. The story is set in an era where Japan has been conquered and the ruling country in the world is Britannia. It is futuristic but not as advanced as the one we see in the Gundam series. Nevertheless, we are treated to epic battles with dramatic deaths added with a spice of surprise.
Plot. At the end, what makes this a great series is the plot. It is full of surprises, revelations all woven into a very creative manner. It also did not stray away from its major driving theme which is revenge. It even manage to thicken it as more and more antagonists got in the way.
The anime may have already ended, but this did not stop discussions on online forums as to the possibility of a third season. If you are someone who loves an awesome story with great characters, Code Geass is definitely a must watch. If you have watched it, feel free to share your comments.
