#geass

Ya know how people claim chess is like actual battle strategy? I never really got that til watching the fantastic Code Geass. It's another pick from the dark days before anime is cool are you surprised? Expect quite a few; I've been around a while.

The show follows a fallen prince and his attempt to get what he sees as justice. Is that killing his father and raising the lower class? Is it taking the original kingdom for himself? Or maybe something in between that gets a bit lost and confused on the way there. Also, it has this soft magic system of Geass, which is completely different for each person who uses it. But if you complete the wish you'll become immortal? Only some can say. All while occasionally getting a random slice of life at school episode due to the cover of being a normal school student in an oppressed country. Sadwiched between some banger music!

That's a bit confusing huh? Now what if I also told you there's mech too. It almost sounds like some sort of early 2000s fever of anime. And in a way it kinda is yet was and is still solid. Plus! one of the rare cases of a visibly disabled character in Nunelly being both wheelchair bound and blind. And it's not played up for sympathy but more that this happened to her and how she lives now. Yes her brother holds himself responsible for why it happened but that's part of his reasons for him becoming Zero.

The show is a little hard to talk about without basically ruining some of the mystery that you learn as it continues. So for now I'll leave you some little tid bits and recommend you seek it out if it fits something your craving. CC is a witch and somehow a girl failure. Karen deserved way better. It could of been gayer but yet not. Geass is god?

Recommend if you like: political intrigue, they could of been roommates, gaint mechs but NOT in space, quasi religious, viva la revolution, is this a possible future? don't think to hard now
