Review of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Review for seasons 1 and 2 Summary Code Geass takes place in a dystopian future where a group called “Brittania” has taken over most of the world. Japan is ruled by Brittania and the Japanese people that originally lived are forced to live in slums and do not have access to equal rights and resources. Lelouch is part of the royal Britannian family and after gaining the power to make people obey him simply by looking them in the eye, he vows vengeance on Britannia and endeavours to obtain equal rights for the Japanese by whatever means necessary. Upsides Code Geass contains an abundance of high action psychological and physicalfight scenes as well as the added drama of Lelouch fighting members of his own family.
The relationships Lelouch has with a childhood friend who is now fighting in the Britannian army is a very captivating part of this anime. There are also many other interesting relationships, such as Lelouch and his friend and family member Euphemia who also thinks that what Britannia Is oding is wrong but refuses to take thew same drastic and homicidal measures that Lelouch does
Downsides
This anime focuses more on riveting plot twists, dramatic deaths and intense fight scenes rather than the writing and fort his reason the writing is a bit weak at times. However, this is just a minor flaw and it is still very much an enjoyable anime.
