Must Read 2014 Code Geass Anime Review

By Josephine Pennington


Those who have witnessed the rise of the anime industry will agree that its influence is starting to go global as well. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
