"Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ
Kōdo Giasu: Hangyaku no Rurūshu[color:1d30=#00e]?), often referred to as simply
Code Geass, is a Japanese
anime series created by
Sunrise, directed by
Gorō Taniguchi, and written by
Ichirō Ōkouchi, with original character designs by manga authors
Clamp. Set in an
alternate future, the series focuses on how the former prince
Lelouch Lamperouge obtains a power known as Geass and decides to use it to obliterate the Holy Britannian Empire, an imperial monarchy and a
superpower that has been conquering various countries."

Personally, I don't like the series and I find its philosophical undertones handled poorly against other animes of similar venture like Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy bebop, and Fullmetal Alchemist. However, I acknowledge the series has a "dedicated" fanbase and wish to discuss the anime with everyone despite my differing opinions as the anime has left an impact on the anime genre for awhile now.
So please, discuss this anime.
