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

By Christa Jarvis


Decades ago in the seventies, what people consider the roots of animation movies were first sown. A television cartoon series began on Japanese television that was supposed to take the industry by storm. It did might have lived up to expectations, but curiously produced a small band of loyal followers. In the end, the foundations of Japanese anime had been set. Today, the following and passion is evident when reading popular reviews like the Code Geass anime review.

Code Geass begins in 2010, with an evil empire hell bent on conquering the world. The Britannia Empire invades countries across the world and Japan becomes one victim. The Japanese invasion proves easy as the empire uses mobile vehicles. The people of Japan have their sovereignty and dignity stripped away, and their country is renamed area 11.

Meanwhile, a sly prince, who was excommunicated from the Britannia royal family looks to bring down the empire. In his exploits, he meets a mysterious woman, and the chance meeting results in him gaining control of the Geass. With the Geass, he has the ability to have anyone under their control.

With this device, his dream of bringing the empire down seems realistic. On the surface, the story is similar to many animation series before it. One particular close comparison can be made to Valvrave the liberator. The main character rallies the people to a revolution. The revolution is ignited by a special power, and there is an element of the popular speed chess moves used to defeat the enemy.

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.

One big difference, though, is the nature of the main character. Although a hero, he is not the typical white knight hero. The main character is not a saintly person with good intentions. He seems resigned to using anyone to meet his goals, and normally does not care whether they get hurt or not.

Through the decades, anime movies have grown exponentially. In the past, they were left for the comic book loving geek population, but part of their growth today is due to the fact that the geek is no longer an endangered species, so to speak. They have changed from being laughed at to being funny, if popular television and film productions like Ironman and Big Bang theory are anything to go by.

But that is not the only reason for their success. In the western world especially, they satisfy curiosity of people by bringing them aspects of Asian and Japanese culture. Animation movies explore complex themes and present them in a simple, funny and entertaining way and this animation movie is a perfect example.
