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.

I truly enjoyed this season even though I'm not a fan of mecha animes.

The writing is fantastic. It allows the viewers to deepen into the mind and feelings of the main characters, especially Lelouch. All of his fears and strategic thoughts as well as his mental instabilities. It is shocking to see him go from behaving like a caring brother to completely losing his mind falling into the temptations that come along with power. The best thing about his character development is that he's not the always good character fighting for his beloved ones, he also shows traces of selfishness and aloofness, regretting some of ...

He's treated like some sort of ...

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 ...
