In the seventies, what was meant to be a revolutionary step in Japanese entertainment began showing. It was a cartoon program that was supposed to last for a whole year. At ten months, with the television executives almost pulling the plug, the developers realized that there was some loyal following, small but very devoted. Fast forward to today, and the popularity of what started then is clearly visible when reading the Code Geass anime review.
The story is set in 2010, August, where the holy Britannia Empire, and evil ruling plans to rule the world. They invade every country, and Japan becomes one of their victims. In that invasion, they use mobile robot vehicles to take over the country, stripping it of its sovereignty, and the people of their dignity. The country remains an empty shell, and is named area 11.
The country and its people seem doomed until a strange twist of events brings hope. An exiled prince from Britannia seeks revenge on the royal family by bringing the empire down. By chance, the prince meets a mysterious woman, who is at the time dressed as a popular masked terrorist called Zero. Through her, he gains control of the Geass, which gives him the power to control anyone he likes.
The storyline of this animation series can be compared to many more before it. A notable similarity in this movie plot can be drawn to the Valvrave series. The main character in this series leads a revolution, and uses a magic object, together with clever chess moves to do it. However, that seems to be the end of the similarity trend.
However, it seems to be the end of everything mainstream about this series. One impressive coup the series pulls is having impressive characters. They manage to inject humor into subjects that are otherwise quite serious. The speech of emperor on international television is delivered in an over the top funny way. The main character never misses an opportunity to add a light touch to any situation.
One big difference, though, is the nature of the main character. Although a hero, he is not the typical white knight hero. The main character is not a saintly person with good intentions. He seems resigned to using anyone to meet his goals, and normally does not care whether they get hurt or not.
Since the seventies, animation movies have grown and developed. During the past, they were reserved for the geek minority, but geeks are slowly being accepted. Look at the popular geeky storyline movies and series, like the billionaire geek Tony Stark in the Ironman Franchise, or the three academics in the Big Band theory.
Far more important, though, is the progress already made in the development of the movies themselves. They give people a glimpse into the culture of the east through Japan. They are magnificent works of art, with the characters developed perfectly and the storylines captivating. The stories explore various themes and present them in a way many people can relate to in an entertainment setting as shown in this animation. Animation movies can capture complex themes and present them in a simple but fun way.
