Learn How Humor Helps The Good Guys Triumph With Code Geass Anime Review

By Christa Jarvis


A television series in the seventies considered by many animation movies experts as the beginnings of the genre provides valuable insight into the exponential growth of anime. The series was supposed to go for 12 months, but after ten, it was almost axed from popular television. However, the developers noticed that there was a small loyal following. Today, the fame of anime is evident when reading such popular reviews such as the Code Geass anime review.

The Code Geass story is set in August 2010, with an evil empire keen on gaining control of the world. Japan is one of its victims, and the Holy Britannia Empire invades it easily using the Knightmare frames. These are mobile humanoid robots, which bring the country down easily. With the country on its knees, it remains a mere territory, stripped of its dignity and pride. The evil empire names it area 11.

A peculiar twist of events leads to hope of rescue. A cunning prince, exiled from the Britannia royal family, seeks to bring down the evil empire. Through a twist of events, the prince gets to meet a mystery woman, dressed as a masked terrorist. Through the meeting, the prince gets control of the Geass, with which he can get anyone to do his bidding. With this, his dream seems closer to reality.

With his new-found power, it is suddenly evident that his desire to exact revenge is not too far. Code Geass can be compared to previous anime series, especially with regards to plot. It is especially similar to the Valvrave liberator series, where the main character inspires a revolution to free the people. The main character uses a device with special powers to do it, and is assisted by high speed moves.

The characters of Code Geass are one of those most impressive things about it. The developers found ways of adding humorous deliveries by their characters in what was supposed to be a serious subject matter. For instance, the emperor delivers an over the top speech telling everyone how pathetic they are on an international television channel.

The nature of the main character is perhaps the biggest point of differentiation. Everyone is used to the hero being noble and saintly, but not this one. He is content with using almost anyone he thinks will advance his agenda. He does not think about the consequences of his actions, whether the people he uses will get hurt or die.

Animation movies have grown leaps and bounds from the humble beginnings in the seventies. While they were generally considered for the geeks, today a review of movie culture shows geeks are slowly being accepted. Big bang theory, Stark in Iron man and batman show change of perception about geeks.

But animation movies are much more than that. They provide a valuable insight into Japanese culture and are often so meticulously designed to be attractive to the audience. Adding to the beautiful art are the storylines, which combine a playful genre in cartoons, with the struggles of both teenage and adult themes. Code geass highlights all these aspects perfectly. With animation movies, they try to explore complex themes and then present them in a fun and simple manner.
