About Code Geass
Code Geass is a Japanese anime produced by Sunrise, directed by Goro Taniguchi, and broadcasted on JNN (MBS) between October 2006 and June 2007. In a fictional timeline on August 10, 2010, the Holy Empire of Britannia surpassed Japanese forces. They conquered the country in one month with the help of strong robots. Japan lost its freedom and rights and was simply renamed Area 11. Its inhabitants, who are now called “Elevens”, were forced to survive in ghettos. However, there are still groups that resist and fight against the Empire for the independence of Japan. Lelouch, after being accidentally involved in a battle between rebels and soldiers, acquires the power of the Geass. This power gives him the ability to control the minds of his opponents and command them without resistance. Using this power, Lelouch joins the rebel forces to regain Japanese territory.
