Code Geass

The following video is one of the displayed openings in the Code Geass series...

Plot Summary: The Empire of Britannia has invaded Japan using giant robot weapons called Knightmare Frames. Japan is now referred to as Area 11, and its people the 11's. A Britannian who was living in Japan at the time, Lelouch, vowed to his Japanese friend Suzaku that he'd destroy Britannia. Years later, Lelouch is in high school, but regularly skips out of school to go play chess and gamble on himself. One day, he stumbles on terrorists 11's who've stolen a military secret and is caught by a member of the Britannian task force sent after them, who is Suzaku. As the rest of the squad arrives, Suzaku is shot for disobeying orders, while the military secret, a young girl, gives Lelouch the power of Geass, which makes anyone obey any order. While Suzaku is secretly made the pilot of Britannia's brand new prototype Knightmare, Lancelot, Lelouch becomes the masked Zero to lead the rebellion to destroy Britannia once and for all.

Suggestions: If you are someone who loves a bit of action and mystery, I strongly suggest watching this show. Code Geass has a distinct storyline of the main character of Lelouch. The anime has some comedy coming here and there, some emotional twist from episode to episode and many experiences with robots and mythical powers. Code Geass is more recommended for more mature viewers and there will be some parts not recommended for younger viewers. This anime has include well written storyline and work, so we suggest watching it as soon as possible.
