"Julia watches anime??.."
No, Julia does not watch anime. Julia watched several series a couple of years ago. Now Julia thinks anime is silly and over-the-top; but she's not going to deny that she liked anime back when she watched it. Moving on to today's topic.
As you may have guessed already, this post will concern a Japanese anime called Code Geass. I could go on and on about how good it is, because it truly was the best. However, that would look something like this, "Oh my God, it's so good. Seriously, I love it more than anything. It's amazing. Suzaku is so.. ughh! Really, it's extraordinary. You should watch it. This is the link to the HD subbed version and here is your welcome bundle, including one large Code Geass poster, a talking Suzaku figurine, the entire manga series..."
Well, maybe not exactly like that. I don't want to force it down your throat. Also, damn, official merchandise is expensive..
A basic summary of Code Geass from an anime website:
"After the invasion of Japan by the Brittannian Empire, the once proud country is stripped of its name and renamed to Area 11. Its citizens, Elevens, are forced to scratch out a living while the Britannian aristocracy lives comfortably within their settlements. Pockets of resistance appear throughout Area 11, working towards independence for Japan. Ten years later, the young Lelouch, a Britannian student living in Japan, accidentally gets caught up in a local terrorist attack against Brittannia, reuniting with his childhood friend Suzaku as well as meeting the mysterious girl C.C. Cornered in a life and death situation, Lelouch accepts a power C.C. offers to him, the ability to order anyone to do anything. Harboring a thirst for revenge against the Brittanian Empire for their actions against his family, Lelouch wages war against the Empire."
Of course, that's only the beginning. It gets crazy complex, but that's what sets it apart from other series. Really, Code Geass has everything a viewer could possibly want - a refreshing storyline, tons of action, sex appeal, depth; developed characters, funny fillers, an incredible soundtrack, and countless cliff hangers.
Sigh. Just thinking about it makes me want to watch it again.
*w* Code Geass!!! Ahahahahah!!! It can be summarized with two words... "Unknown Word". The meaning of that word's definition is "Too amazing of a meaning to be put into words". :D
