Synopsis

In the year 2010, the Holy Empire of Britannia is establishing itself as a dominant military nation, starting with the conquest of Japan. Renamed to Area 11 after its swift defeat, Japan has seen significant resistance against these tyrants in an attempt to regain independence.

Lelouch Lamperouge, a Britannian student, unfortunately finds himself caught in a crossfire between the Britannian and the Area 11 rebel armed forces. He is able to escape, however, thanks to the timely appearance of a mysterious girl named C.C., who bestows upon him Geass, the "Power of Kings." Realizing the vast potential of his newfound "power of absolute obedience," Lelouch embarks upon a perilous journey as the masked vigilante known as Zero, leading a merciless onslaught against Britannia in order to get revenge once and for all.

What can be said about this show that hasn't already been said. Whether its the commentary on freedom fighters vs. terrorists, the philosophy of imposed altruism, or the impacts this show has made that echo to this day. This show is amazing (good enough for me to have a symbol of the show tattooed on my arm). If you are just getting into anime, or a long time veteran who's never got around to it, this is more of a must watch then the big 3 (Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece). Twists, turns, misdirection's, and misfortune's are all that's to be expected in this show; ...

Alot of the times I had no idea what was going on at first, and I couldn't fully tell the two main characters apart for the first few episodes and had to rewind a few times. Mixed mostly due to slow start ...

So... this show is like Death Note; you'll expect so much because of the hype and be like... meh. With a main characters' name which translates from French to English into The-suspicious Red-lamp... meh.

It didn't feel like a waste of time; I just preferred Cross Ange, which I found to be a pretty close similarity as far as story type goes. What is supposed to be intense, falls flat compared to other shows that did similar things in my opinion.

Basically I don't recommend it; yet, if you choose to watch it... it's not trash. Restored my rating system to default so I ...
