Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Code Geass truly is one of the most interesting animes i have had the opportunity to watch. It is also one of the most intriguing plot lines i have followed yet. The idea of the plot might be a bit cliche; however, the way everything has been put together is more than just simply interesting. Also, the characters are interesting especially the character of Lelouch. His character till today remains unrivaled in the anime world. He was not your usual hero, neither was he all bad. He was a classic mix of good traits and bad traits plus superior intelligence, making him a very relatablecharacter. At one point, in the anime i started wondering what it would be like for me if i actually ran into such a character as Lelouch in reality.
The subbed version for me is the best approach to watching any anime. That way you can listen to the emotions as accurately as they have been projected by the originally selected voice actors. As for me, my love for the character of Lelouch arose rapidly after hearing his voice, the way he emotes, and not to mention his manic humourless, plain evil laughter.
The Code Geass art is also one of the best i have seen. It seems a little strange at first, but once you go on, you see some major improvements done on the characters, which just makes them all more appealing and attractive.
All in all, Code Geass has one of the most bad ass story telling techniques i have seen today. It raises alot of questions, and boldly approaches the topic of RACISM in our society today.
It highlights the presence of the subtle not so subtle racism and discrimination that still continues in our society of today, despite the technological developments, and advancement we find in most other areas of society today.
I love the show but R1 and R2, and i strongly believe its one of the best stories ever told such that i time myself, and give myself intervals after which i watch Code Geass all over again, and appreciate it all over again. :)
