For my next review, I've chosen the series Code Geass.
This series is set in an alternate universe where the world is split up by three empires, the Holy Britannian Empire, the Chinese Federation, and the Euro Universe. It takes place after Britannia's conquest of Japan with their new weapons called Knightmare Frames (basically giant Transformers you can control). Britannia successfully took over Japan, taking away its citizen's rights, freedom, and their country's name, renaming it Area 11 and referring Japanese as Elevens.
Seven years later, the story focuses on its main character, Lelouch Lamperouge, or previously known as Lelouch vi Britania, who was exiled by his father, Charles zi Britania, after the murder of his mother that left his sister, Nunnally, blind and crippled. While ditching school and accidentally getting himself in a battle between anti-government terrorists and the Britannian Army in a ghetto, his life is saved by a mysterious girl named C.C (C2 in the English dub) and she makes a contract with him giving him a power called Geass, which allows him to make a person follow any order with eye contact.
With his new power and intellect, he becomes the leader of a resistance group called the Black Knights disguised as a man known as Zero. With the Black Knights, he sets out to get revenge for the murder of his mother and to create a world where Nunnally can live in safety and happiness.
Full of action, drama, and a hint of comedy, I rate this anime a fifteen out of ten. It's a bit bloody and scary at times, but the storyline's worth watching this anime. There may be some parts here and there for a mature audience but it's not that bad. Totally recommend it.
