Demonstrating The Development Of Animation Movies With Code Geass Anime Review

By Christa Jarvis


In the seventies, what was meant to be a revolutionary step in Japanese entertainment began showing. It was a cartoon program that was supposed to last for a whole year. At ten months, with the television executives almost pulling the plug, the developers realized that there was some loyal following, small but very devoted. Fast forward to today, and the popularity of what started then is clearly visible when reading 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.

Apart from that, Code Geass charts a completely different path. The fabulousness of the characters is one of the things that make it different. Through all the war and seriousness, the characters still find a way to bring entertainment into the plot. Both the emperor and the main character find ways of delivering humor even when they are supposed to be very serious.

One big difference, though, is the nature of the main character. Although a hero, he is not the typical white knight hero. The main character is not a saintly person with good intentions. He seems resigned to using anyone to meet his goals, and normally does not care whether they get hurt or not.

Since the seventies, animation movies have grown and developed. During the past, they were reserved for the geek minority, but geeks are slowly being accepted. Look at the popular geeky storyline movies and series, like the billionaire geek Tony Stark in the Ironman Franchise, or the three academics in the Big Band theory.

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.
