@@rehanfmohammed9955 The anime was never properly green lit with funding. But pizzahut stepped in to fund the project which is why Code Geass goes out of its way to ft pizzahut. Big fan of pizzahut for that
FORSHADOWING AT ITS PEAK! Lelouch asked Geramaya to have an orange farm in the first season and he actually ends up having one after his death in the epilogue.
Honestly when Code Geass aired I was 13 years old and only cared about Kallen's scenes (ifykyk) but then I rewatched it again and STILL cared about Kallen scene's. What a masterpiece.
They had 0 reason to give us all of those OUTRAGEOUS Kallen shots in season 2, I was trynna focus on the story and instead got cake after cake fresh from the bakery 😭
That was too wack . 💀 And also gotta note that same clothes of seemingly same quality. Imagine a tailoring company or fabric factory was just commissioned to create Zero costumes in bulks of thousands 💀💀💀
This is my personal top 1 anime. I would describe the story like a professional olympic diver, Had a good jump on 50meters then bumps tumbles it's head on the next diving board below but somehow gracefully stuck the landing.
@@TuriGamer People often talk to themselves, some to family members who've passed away, and because of that i genuinely did not figure out that lelouche might have been still alive until someone else brought it up

Schinizel was an incredibly dangerous antagonist. Handsome, charming,, highly intelligent, powerful and a will to rule the world through the fear of WMD. A person like this is the ideal authoritarian making him the greatest threat to the idea of freedom
"Blood Stained Euphie" is by far my favorite episode of any anime ever, I still remember watching the episode in my living room during highschool and how powerful it was
@@aidan4246 I should probably start doing that again. Code Geass is one of my favorite anime of all time, and I think it might be one of the best examples I've ever seen in fiction of managing a truly immense cast of characters and making them all distinct and practically all of them actually relevant to the plot somehow. Seriously, compare the cast list of Code Geass to almost any other show or book, and you'll realize "wait, they were juggling this many characters?"
Fire breakdown as usual. Just like Eva and FLCL, i watched and enjoyed the show but you explained the deeper plot points i never thought about beautifully. Helps me enjoy the story much more
Man, I remember watching those 2010 "top 50 hottest anime men" lists and seeing lelouch all over the place (it was around the same time you'd be able to find 4-part uploads of a single anime episode). While I know a recap doesn't fully compensate for lacking personal experience, I still really enjoyed this summary! You have a great knack for delivering clear and concise information :) Can't wait to go through the rest of your catalogue.
Tbh one of the only anime’s I watched that made me tear up. Keep in mind I’m the guy that laughs at everyone who cries when they see something sad in a movie/anime 😂
Fantastic stuff, it's rare where you get someone who does retrospective perfectly everyone on UA-cam thinks they are either comedians or literal intellectuals , dope stuff man
Best grey characters ever written! people doing terrible things for good reasons, people doing good things for terrible reasons!.... one of the best vilains ever too!
I lost it with all the kallen scene's, literally cried for Euphy and Shirley, laughed with Milly and Rivalz, internally lamented for Shin Kei and Rolo, face palmed myself so many times over oggie, toto, and suzaku's actions, and now sympathize with nina with her expanded character growth in the timeline where leaoche inherited Charles code , and now hunts for gease fragments with his fellow immortal wife too continue on the path of betterment for the world!?! Though I will not forgive Roze of the recapture for they're pandering for the past!!!!
The death of Euphie was the first death that upset me. Yeah, I watched Dragon Ball and other animes like Code Geass at the time with characters dying, but Euphie was so innocent.
She’s on the enemy’s side right? She’d have prevented Lelouch from killing her brothers and sisters, emotionally, psycologically, and physically. So lelouch would never have won if she was in the whole story all the time.
It is not a complaint about the video, but for Code Geass, I prefer the english dub. It sounds weird to me hearing Lelouch not voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch.
Especially since the action is in the Holy BRITANIAN Empire. And I can’t stand sub Lloyd voice, and sub Lelouch sounds to old for me while dub sounds young enough to not break the immersion every single time he speaks.
Got moved all over again multiple times during this video by the powerful story moments despite it just being a recap That goes to show how amazing code geass is
@@O.Reagano it gets better the 2nd time you watch it. Just look for all the foreshadowing. I'm pretty sure even in ep 1 there's foreshadowing~ accidental foreshadowing~ since to foreshadow you need some form of prior knowledge and yatta yatta yatta. Seriously though when I 1st watched it was with my friend and that was his 3rd rewatch xD He was still finding stuff he never noticed before 🤣🤣
@@O.Reagano I'll say best time for a rewatch is when you start feeling nostalgic towards edits. Even if you just have a dream after a while of not consuming CG media that would be the best. I mentioned mecha animes to my friend and we steam rolled from there. Best binge night of my life.
i absolutely loved this show as a teenager. rewatching it, the story isn't quite as air-tight as i remembered it being... but still loved going through this recap.
This was a great anime, and a great recap. One thing I would say, that would give it more depth, is that Lelouch's story is fleshed out more in Atiko the Exiled. It explains the timeskip more and would provide a lot more depth to that part, if you were to include it. Just a thought.
Code Geass is hands down top 10 anime of all time i've ever watched and thank you for showing why with this beautiful and well constructed video essay. So glad i subbed to your channel, thank you for providing such quality longform anime analysis.
@@deepfriedgyros553 I like a lot of less popular choices so don't take my list too seriously but for a few examples: Eureka Seven, Claymore, Gungrave, Samurai Champloo, Parasite the Maxim and Aldnoah Zero are all anime i liked.
I found this channel because when i first watched evangelion i went to youtube to find some videos it was very entertaining and i wanted to watch a video kinda like a refresher and now you are doing code geass you have won my heart.
I absolutely adore Code Geass! It's a series I've already watched 7 times and it's probably safe to call it my all-time favorite anime. It is such an amazing story, with such incredible characters and spectacular world-development. A true Classic that should be watched, re-watched and appreciated by everyone! The aspect I loved the most in this series was the relationship between Lulu and Kallen, since I am a huge fan of the concept of the power-couple formed from one half representing the strategist/scientist and the other half representing the sword/ultimate soldier - this is why I also adored the relationship between Hange and Levi in Attack on Titan. It was so refreshing to see these roles reversed in Code Geass, whereas the male is usually the sword and the female is the brains, Lulu and Kallen breaking that stereotype was spectacular. Out of the many incredibly amazing moments in this series, three that involved Lulu and Kallen stood with me in particular: - when Lulu is so distraught and is about to dose himself with Refrain and Kallen stops him. The scene where he pushes himself onto her telling her that she can comfort him as a woman was so powerful from an emotional standpoint, IMO. At that moment, since Kallen loved him so much, she would have allowed him to have his way with her, but she realizes that this is not how she wanted her love to come true. Indulging in cheap pleasure would have done nothing in the long run for either of them. Once the deed had been done, they wouldn't be able to look each other in the eye and everything they worked for up until that moment would have crumbled. - when Lulu lies to Kallen and tells her she regarded her as a tool/weapon. He's obviously lying and she knows that. She can't say that she knows him best, and she admits that she can't keep up with his shinkansen of thought or begin to comprehend the deeper meaning behind his strategies, so she leaves and trusts him to accomplish another miracle, which does come true when Rolo saves Lulu and they escape. - the kiss at the United Federation of Nations meeting. That was incredible! Kallen was ready to return to Lulu's side with a single word from his behalf. She finally understood what he did for her back on the Ikaruga when they were held at gunpoint. She had an inkling of what his current great scheme could be, and yet, she awaited his response. Little did Kallen know that Zero Requiem required Lulu's death and that by turning her down at that moment, he managed to shield her from what most definitely would have been even more pain and suffering. So Lulu had to step on his heart one more time and turn down yet another woman that truly loved him. Since I am a great Lulu X Kallen fan, I like to believe that among the 3 women that loved him, Lulu would have loved her the most too, but due to the nature of their roles, he already knew how impossible such a pursuit would have been, given that Kallen was the spear of his army and always subjected to danger. While she probably would have gladly gave up her life for him initially, Lulu had already been traumatized by Shirley's death to allow something similar to happen to Kallen too. Lulu managed to suppress and kill a lot of his emotions since he experienced just how many times said emotions clouded his cold and calculating judgement. It was always the case when Nunnaly was involved and it was confirmed to him when Kallen got captured by the Chinese. One would argue that he was worried about losing the Guren MK || too, since it was the most advanced out of all his Knightmare frames, but with the resources they had at that point, Rakshasa could have produced another model with relative ease. All this, coupled with the fact that he already witnessed the fate that befell the other woman who truly loved him, Shirley, prevented him from returning Kallen's feelings. Her performance on the battlefield would have probably been affected too since Kallen would have started fearing death in fear of losing the chance to be with the one that confirmed her feelings. I would have loved it if during Lulu's death scene, we would have gotten a scene from his POV, and the last thing Lulu saw before closing his eyes was Kallen, his Queen. The person that didn't spark the flames of his rebellion, but the one that was instrumental to its success, keeping the flame alive no matter the odds. Code Geass is a masterpiece in storytelling, pace and character development. The only aspect I feel it's lacking is in the soundtrack department. I pray that this series never gets forgotten, that the generations to come will watch it and get to experience the same amount of awe and admiration for this series that most of us grew up with.
I fully agree with your thoughts, but in the end, C.C. was the best choice for whom he would be with as she truly understood everything Lulu was trying to do.
Another reason to be vegan...I mean to love this anime Oh my u have articulated ur thoughts very well..tbh I didn't even cared for luluxkallen but after reading ur thesis....i've got to keep an eye on them
One of my favorite anime ever made. The story of lelouch and how he had to deal with everything he did and becoming a martyr for the next generation all to secure future for his little sister and it didn't even have a manga lol crazy 💯
The sin I despise most is either stupidity or hypocrisy. If Lelouch's ways are dishonorable, how is joining Britannia's side any more honorable? It makes no sense. Morality and righteousness are not determined by power or might. Laws set by the powerful to oppress the weak are neither moral nor justifiable-they are simply foolish
This is 6 days old but doesn't include the sequel where they show he's alive and survived because he got his Dad's Code but upon coming back to life, lost his mind like Cece for a while
@Sock Sensei I really love Code Geass! I will have seen it almost 5 times now! I'm getting the DVD of Rozé of the Recapture series for either my birthday or Christmas and i'm looking forward to it!
Rewatching this recap made me both appreciate the original code geass more, particularly the opening about the alt history and Charles's true motivation, but it also reminded me why I don't really jive with this story It feels like it's trying to do too much, and the 3 different stories it's trying to tell are all getting in the way of each other. The political power struggle story is the main focus and really all the story should have been, whereas the highschool drama plotline and the thought elevator plotlines feel like detours that ultimately don't matter, or are just tacked on. I am glad that just defeating Charles didn't result in all conflict being resolved, that's good, but it also made most of his story feel kind of irrelevant. Like just out of nowhere the plot goes "oh btw if we don't stop Charles now, everyone on earth dies. Okay,now we stopped him, back to the war plot"

Lelouch asked Geramaya to have an orange farm in the first season and he actually ends up having one after his death in the epilogue.
It’s Gilford who suggested it in a mocking way, when they demoted him.
Honestly when Code Geass aired I was 13 years old and only cared about Kallen's scenes (ifykyk) but then I rewatched it again and STILL cared about Kallen scene's. What a masterpiece.
The shower 😅

I still do care about Kallen's scenes. Easily Best Girl, though C.C. is a ton of fun too.
Gross. Ugh, men lack discipline and just objectify constantly.
Yeah bro what the hell was we watching at 13 😂😂
Lelouch planning everything all the way up to the bitter end… definitely one of the few series that really sat with me by the end.
57:43 They really dressed everyone up, even the fricking dog

The ending of attack on titan (which resonates the similar motives, maybe too similar) reminds me how great was the Code Geass
For the summary at 1:19:34. Lelouch himself states, he commits evil to destroy evil. That scene when he battles Guilford epitomized his character

"one should not kill unless they are ready to be killed" Today's politicians could learn alot from that sentence!!
Ha
Only vaguely remembered the name but god that show would probably make me cry
I was just thinking of watching it and you posted this you always deliver
definitely one of the best anime of all time
Phenomenal video again!!
loves these type of videos
Your videos are always top tier.
Rewatching this recap made me both appreciate the original code geass more, particularly the opening about the alt history and Charles's true motivation, but it also reminded me why I don't really jive with this story
It feels like it's trying to do too much, and the 3 different stories it's trying to tell are all getting in the way of each other. The political power struggle story is the main focus and really all the story should have been, whereas the highschool drama plotline and the thought elevator plotlines feel like detours that ultimately don't matter, or are just tacked on.
I am glad that just defeating Charles didn't result in all conflict being resolved, that's good, but it also made most of his story feel kind of irrelevant. Like just out of nowhere the plot goes "oh btw if we don't stop Charles now, everyone on earth dies. Okay,now we stopped him, back to the war plot"
Many people call the Lelouch Gambit the greatest bait and switch of all time. I am many people
I love these long videos of yours
i dropped it after learning the traitor japanese guy lives until the end
I was wondering where all the Akito movies would fit in and the Lelouch resurrection as well as the new code geass series
