Demonstrating The Development Of Animation Movies With Code Geass Anime Review

By Christa Jarvis


A television series in the seventies considered by many animation movies experts as the beginnings of the genre provides valuable insight into the exponential growth of anime. The series was supposed to go for 12 months, but after ten, it was almost axed from popular television. However, the developers noticed that there was a small loyal following. Today, the fame of anime is evident when reading such popular reviews such as the Code Geass anime review.

The Code Geass story is set in August 2010, with an evil empire keen on gaining control of the world. Japan is one of its victims, and the Holy Britannia Empire invades it easily using the Knightmare frames. These are mobile humanoid robots, which bring the country down easily. With the country on its knees, it remains a mere territory, stripped of its dignity and pride. The evil empire names it area 11.

A peculiar twist of events leads to hope of rescue. A cunning prince, exiled from the Britannia royal family, seeks to bring down the evil empire. Through a twist of events, the prince gets to meet a mystery woman, dressed as a masked terrorist. Through the meeting, the prince gets control of the Geass, with which he can get anyone to do his bidding. With this, his dream seems closer to reality.

With his new-found power, it is suddenly evident that his desire to exact revenge is not too far. Code Geass can be compared to previous anime series, especially with regards to plot. It is especially similar to the Valvrave liberator series, where the main character inspires a revolution to free the people. The main character uses a device with special powers to do it, and is assisted by high speed moves.

However, it seems to be the end of everything mainstream about this series. One impressive coup the series pulls is having impressive characters. They manage to inject humor into subjects that are otherwise quite serious. The speech of emperor on international television is delivered in an over the top funny way. The main character never misses an opportunity to add a light touch to any situation.

One unique characteristic, though, is the hero character in the series. They are not the normal savior with good intentions. Rather, they are a refreshing difference from the norm. The prince seems to be comfortable with using anyone he wants, without remorse even when he leaves them injured or dead.

Animation movies have grown leaps and bounds from the humble beginnings in the seventies. While they were generally considered for the geeks, today a review of movie culture shows geeks are slowly being accepted. Big bang theory, Stark in Iron man and batman show change of perception about geeks.

But animation movies are much more than that. They provide a valuable insight into Japanese culture and are often so meticulously designed to be attractive to the audience. Adding to the beautiful art are the storylines, which combine a playful genre in cartoons, with the struggles of both teenage and adult themes. Code geass highlights all these aspects perfectly. With animation movies, they try to explore complex themes and then present them in a fun and simple manner.
