Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

When I saw the trailer, I was a little bit sceptical about this anime. But then I decided to watch the first episode and I must admit that I didn't suspect that it's so good. Right now this anime is one of my favourite animes. Firstly we get introduced to Japan (year 2010) which is invaded by the Holy Britannian Empire. Then we have a time jump to the year 2017 (we are still in Japan) where we get to know the main character called Lelouch Lamperouge. Lelouch is a student in Ashford Academy. Everyone think that he is a normal person, but in realityhe is a Britannian prince called Lelouch vi Britannia. One day unexpectedly he is in a crime place where a girl C.C gets shot but before that she gives him a power called Geass.

From that moment Lelouch decides to become someone else. He becomes Zero.

Story: 9
I think that this anime has a great story, but not that great to get a 10. In my opinion the anime didn't need so much violence as it showed in the episode where Princess Euphemia declared a massacre on Japaneese people. Otherwise it has a very good story which shows how much someone you love is important.

Art: 10

This anime has a great art. I could only wish that I could draw manga characters like those animators. I like the colors they used, the colors in the anime is a symbolic. An example on that is character called Nunnally. Nunnally has dress with happy colors and her hair is light. It shows that this character is positive. Nunnally has a positive aura around herself.

Soundtrack: 10

I am not a music specialist, but I think that the soundtrack they did for this anime is great. I liked especially the lyrics of the intro and outro songs. They fit perfectly to the anime and they are kind of a summary of the anime.

Character: 10

That person who made the characters of the series is a genius. The characters is shown by their brightest but also of their darkest sides. Which helps you perfectly to understand the anime.

Enjoyment:9

I would give this anime 10 if it wasn't that violent, because I don't enjoy that much violence.

Overall: 10

I think you understand why😅

The anime has a great plot and animation. I mostly love this anime for the fantastic characters. Code Geass is a perfect example for how the rebellion works and how much they can do to get their country independent. It also shows that if you love someone, you will do everything for them, even join a terrorist group.
