By Josephine Pennington


Those who have witnessed the rise of the anime industry will agree that its influence is starting to go global as well. This popularity is no longer just limited to the long running favorite series Naruto which is coming to an end. At present, teens and adults across different continents are consuming different genres of anime that they can get their hands into.

Among the top series that has made name in the industry is Code Geass. This belongs to the mecha category and is in league with the popular Gundam series. Before twenty fourteen ends, we will try to take a look at the things that made this series a blast. Let us take a peek at this short Code Geass anime review.

Strong and consistent theme. Compared to other anime series that plays along different themes in an attempt to capture more viewers, Code Geass centered on revenge and made it a very strong driving force by making it a motivation for the protagonist, Lelouch Lamperouge. From his desire to flee Britannia to his plan on bringing down the royalties who killed his mother, Lelouch became a figure with a clear motivation for the entire story.

Awesome characters. His journey will not be that exciting without great characters. For the entire series, we are introduced to different characters from both his side and the Brits. The great things is, these characters are really lovely. Characters on the enemy side are not lame. In fact they can be at par with our main guy. Ans Suzaku, Lelouchs best friend turning into his enemy just made the story more exciting.

Friendship and romance. In a story which centers on war, revenge and politics, it is easy to dismiss the idea of making a good sideline story that has a touch of friendship and romance. But Code Geass manage to do just that. And it is not the type of story that just exists for the sake of having it. It has been weaved into the series real good that it managed to draw out more emotions from the viewers.

Family conflict. Revenge might be a common theme to a lot of anime. But if it has something to do with going against your family in a battle to death, then that is an entirely different story. But this is exactly what Code Geass has done. And they did it great. In a span of fifty episodes, covering two seasons, the story managed to lay down family issues and the motivations that behind each members actions.

Combat and weapons. The story is set in an era where Japan has been conquered and the ruling country in the world is Britannia. It is futuristic but not as advanced as the one we see in the Gundam series. Nevertheless, we are treated to epic battles with dramatic deaths added with a spice of surprise.

Story. All in all, Code Geass has a great story.It is gripping, entertaining and dramatic. It is the kind of story that will make you angry because Lelouch is angry, will make you cry because an awesome character just died in the hands of your favorite one. It is capable of bringing you into the shoes of its characters.

The production of mecha animation is prolific and you have a lot of anime to choose from. But if you have not seen Code Geass, you should definitely include this on your 2014 to watch list. Be thrilled.
