About Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Looking for background on Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ)? This action, drama and mecha series by Sunrise (2006) starts out like this. In short: On August 10th of the year 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sights set on Japan. Operations were completed in one month thanks to Britannia's deployment of new mobile humanoid armor vehicles dubbed Knightmare Frames.

More of the story: Japan's rights and identity were stripped away, the once proud nation now referred to as Area 11. Its citizens, Elevens, are compelled 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.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Lelouch Lamperouge (Jun Fukuyama) and Kallen Stadtfeld (Ami Koshimizu) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 25 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
