Must Read 2014 Code Geass Anime Review

By Josephine Pennington


The impact of Japanese animation to pop culture can no longer be taken for granted. If before the influence are solely focus in Japan and its neighboring countries like the Philippines, now it has gone worldwide. Western countries such as the US have solid fandoms on different anime such as Naruto and One piece.

Among the popular picks are the mecha series which reflects technological innovation we have at present and an ambitious but appealing attempt to portray earth and its future hundreds of years from now. One mecha series which has left a mark on its viewers is Code Geass. Before twenty fourteen ends, we will try to recap the highlights that made this a success in this Code Geass anime review.

Theme. Without a good theme, any series will soon be boring and confusing. This anime made sure not to fail on this aspect by providing a strong one which is revenge. It is centered on a young prince who was originally a Britannian but was forced to flee the country after an assassination to their lives that killed their mother. In order to protect his sister and to avenge their mothers death he vowed on making those responsible people pay. And for a teen shouldering this responsibility, it is difficult not to sympathize with him.

Characterization. No matter how good the plot, without great and relatable characters, you still cannot get attached to the story. But Code Geass created awesome characters that are easy to like. Each of them, especially the main ones are reflective of a particular group of people. It should not be a surprise then to love the antagonists as the story unfolds.

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.

Battle against family members. Whereas mainstream conflict involves people fighting against villains who are originally strangers to the main character, this animes villains are the family of our protagonist. So it is no longer just our typical good versus bad scenario.

Weapons.If the Gundam series called them mobile suits, this anime termed them as Knightmare frames.It is not as big as the gundam units but are equally capable of inflicting huge damage. Their ability to get into close combat is also great.

Engaging plot. The main reason why this has garnered solid fandom and viewership is because of its great story which is engaging, intriguing and relatable. Characters were introduced for a reason and revelations were presented at the right moment to capture, increase or destroy the prevailing emotion on the story.

If you have not yet watched the series and is currently wrapping up your 2014 anime list, this should definitely be among your top picks. It is a cocktail of emotions with awesome revelations. A must watch.
