This TV series has been a huge hit in Japan, as well as in other countries around the world, and if you search for 'code geass anime review' on the internet, you will find plenty of information about it. This series, made in Japan, came about by Sunrise, and the main character in the show is Lelouch Lamperouge. Lelouch's family is involved in the show as well. Nunnally is his sister.
The series is all about Lelouch and his troubles and triumphs in Japan. He searches for his mother's killer while looking after his sister and her special needs because she is blind and crippled. Suzaku Kururugi is one of Lelouch's close friends. During the first series, Lelouch also meets C. C.
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.
With the power that changed his life, Lelouch continues on his quest to find his mother's killer, and to eliminate the Britannian Empire. His ultimate goal is to find peace for his younger sister. He wants her to be able to live in a better world that is free of wars and fighting. Lelouch must lead a double life, because, to most, he is just an ordinary schoolboy doing usual activities, but in reality, he is a leader fighting against the nation's oppressors.
The first of the series was called 'Lelouch of the Rebellion'. The broadcast of the series throughout Japan started in November, 2006, on Animax, after the initial premier in October on the Mainachi Broadcasting System television network. Due to the excellent response of the public, a sequel was made, and called 'Lelouch of the Rebellion R2'.
The sequel was first announced early in March of 2007, in print in an issue of Newtype. Before it was available on television, there were three private shows of the first episode. These shows were also in March, in the cities of Osaka and Tokyo. The Japanese stars who did the voices of the characters were invited to the private screenings, as well as a few thousand randomly selected persons.
In 2008, the series began showing in America. It was aired by Bandai Entertainment on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. Both seasons were available in English. Shortly thereafter, the series was also shown to people living in Australia and the Philippines.
There are plenty of products sold that relate to the show. The music of the program is available on CDs, and there are books written as well. In terms of video games, however, there are only Japanese versions. People who like the series should write a review on code geass anime online to let others know of their thoughts.
