Review For You.

In today's session, I will be blogging. This blog will be in the form of a review, and I will be reviewing the anime series Code Geass. Code Geass is an intense dramatic series with obscure plot lines, battle scenes, and characters that develop to the point where they may start to annoy you. This complex yet emotion story will pull you in to the immense dramatics that unfold and will only leave you wanting more.



This show deals with ideal problem about what the right thing to do is versus the bad. The young male lead character has chosen a path of deep secluded loneliness as he tries to conquer his home land, taking revenge for his mothers murder and his sister.



To someone who does not under go in depth investigation may pass this groundbreaking series by for the mere fact that the plot sounds like a typical "Good Vs. Bad" story. If you think that, you'd be seriously mistaken as it in fact develops a much deeper message. The character has to challenge himself through very suspenseful decisions. Being produced by the Sunrise, the company that likes to make a show as complex and confusing as can be, shows us that they have not let us down. Plot- 9/10



The battle scenes, which are strategically placed in the series as they need as much time as possible to fit dramatics, are quick, flashy and to the point. Battle scenes that last a life time are not enjoyable. I doubt many people enjoy waiting a week or two for there anticipated episode only to be disappointed by the mere fact that it focuses on the two conflicting characters starring at each other in 100 different camera angles. Occasionally, directors throw in the blunt grunting sounds which does not help. That is why the battle scenes in Code Geass are satisfying and overall deserve a high grade. Battle Scenes- 8/10

If you look for a show with characters that will make you love them look no further, all of the characters in Code Geass show deep development as they progress, even if they only have about 1 minute of screen time. The characters all develop personalities that seem so real that you could even compare yourself to them, yes that's right, although I doubt you will move within the same motivation level, as I don't think most are destined for re-creating the world or having some involvement in it. They are comedic and can really be determined to fulfill their existence.
Character- 9/10


This show is a exhilarating watch for all fans of great stories, and that can handle them in an anime format.
