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.
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.
Nice touch of friendship. In a world shrouded in bloodshed, having a fresh face to it by employing the power of friendship is such a brilliant touch employed in this series. It gives off a feeling that despite all the bad things society is experiencing, there will always be people who is there for you.
Family feud. For the sake of revenge, the main character is willing to fight against his own family. This is what makes Lelouch a good character. Apart from the wit and strong will power he posses, he knows what he was doing and stays true to what he believes. While he became more like antagonistic in the end, one cannot just push a good character away with a clear motivation.
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.
