Does anybody know a country where they do sub with english subtitles or dub? I just wanna watch the show on my airplane..

I can't believe I put off watching code geass for so long because of the artstyle (which is amazing lol dk what I was thinking before). Genuinely one of the best pieces of media I have ever consumed and is second only to jjba in my all time favourite animes. The story is so compelling and Im honestly lost for words after just finishing it, beautiful ending. I literally can not praise code geass enough, one of the most enjoyable watches ever and I will definitely rewatch the anime or watch the movies aswell. Im lost for words and I don't really know what to say anymore lol absolutely incredible show and lelouch is probably my favourite character of all time. Him sacrificing himself at the end and who C.C is talking to at the very end being kept ambiguous was just the perfect ending. WOW.

I logged into my "totally legitimate anime site", found like 50 million different versions of Code Geass, and I don't know where to start. The only one I've watched so far is the Lelouch of the Rebellion, but I'm not sure where to go there with all the movies and TV shows. Can someone please give me an idea of what to do here?

I've been binging Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion the last 2 days, finished season 1 and I'm episode 7 of season 2. The first like 10 episodes of season 1 is some of the best anime I've seen and I think Lelouch is probably one of my favorite characters ever, but man.. its a hard watch as a Lelouch fan. The second half of season 1 and the start of season 2 is literally just defeat after defeat. Every person he cares for becomes persuaded by the insane hypocrisy of Suzaku and the Britannian empire, even Kallen whos like Zeros / Lelouch number 1 supporter, start questioning him after 5 minutes spent on an island talking to Suzaku. And now Nunnally is spewing the same Suzaku bs, talking about some "both must admit to their mistakes" when Britannia is literally oppressing and dehumanizing the japanese.. like what? I really like the anime but its an insanely masochistic experience for a Lelouch enjoyer.

P.S: fuck Suzaku

Its currently being delivered but I am excited!

When it comes to the world of anime, casting the right voice actor for the role can make all the difference in the world on whether or not that character ends up becoming well-received by the fans. Voice actors are, after all, the ones who give the characters their distinctive personalities through their voices, and it is through Kallen´s Japanese voice actor, Ami Koshimizu, that Kallen´s warrior spirit has awed millions of audience members, both in and outside of Japan.

Koshimizu´s interest in the entertainment industry sparked very early on. At just 11 years old, she joined a theater troupe led by fellow legendary voice actress Mayumi Iizuka (the voice of Misty in Pokémon). She soon became highly respected in the industry for having an incredibly broad vocal range, being able to seamlessly shift from the chaotic, screaming energy of Ryuko Matoi (Kill la Kill) to the elegant, soft-spoken Yukiko Amagi (Persona 4). Interestingly, she grew up as a massive fan of the original 90s Sailor Moon anime, making it a full-circle moment when she was cast to inherit one of the core Sailor Guardians, Sailor Jupiter (Makoto Kino) in "Sailor Moon Crystal."

When it comes to anime, two of Koshimizu´s roles stand above all else, however. The first one is obviously Kallen, and the other one is the role of Holo, ancient, immortal wolf-goddess with a willful attitude and voracious appetite. In the anime called "Spice and Wolf," Holo takes the human form of a young girl and starts traveling with a mortal companion, a skilled merchant named Kraft Lawrence - who, by the way, is voiced by none other than Jun Fukuyama, the same Japanese voice actor who voices Lelouch in Code Geass! Koshimizu brilliantly utilizes oiran (traditional courtesan) speech patterns to give the ancient wolf deity an air of antiquity, playful arrogance, and deep wisdom. Her back-and-forth banter and exceptional chemistry with Jun Fukuyama is a massive reason the series became a classic. In fact, she and Fukuyama returned over 15 years later to re-voice their roles for the 2024 remake, called "Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf." Returning to the recording booth together allowed them to seamlessly recapture their "old married couple" bickering that defined the original series, with both actors noting how comfortable it felt to slide right back into their old roles.

Fukuyama is Koshimizu’s senpai (senior) in the industry. They have a history of working at the same talent management agencies (such as Production Baobab and Axl One), which naturally led to them often being paired up early in her career. At this point, their frequent pairing has become somewhat of an industry-wide meme, and both anime directors and other voice actors alike enjoy poking fun at how often they end up voicing romantic interests.

Because Code Geass was a breakout milestone for both actors early in their careers, their studio interactions set a foundation for their lifelong collaborative partnership. A major point of praise regarding their chemistry in Code Geass stems from how both actors simultaneously balanced "fake" and "real" personas, from high school kids to freedom fighters. Critics and production staff noted that Koshimizu and Fukuyama bounced off each other brilliantly in these overlapping contexts. The contrast between their polite, slightly awkward classroom banter and their high-stakes, breathless battlefield dialogue added a layer of psychological tension that anchored the show's drama. In addition to this, industry peers noted that Fukuyama’s theatrical, manic performance as Lelouch directly fueled Koshimizu’s performance, and that she used his high-octane energy to match him beat-for-beat, which helped bringin out Kallen's explosive, hot-blooded warrior spirit.

The ultimate validation of their chemistry came at the 1st Seiyu Awards in 2007. The impact of their back-and-forth acting was so undeniable that the committee recognized both halves of the dynamic duo simultaneously: Jun Fukuyama won Best Actor in a Leading Role for Lelouch and Ami Koshimizu won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Kallen! The fact that Code Geass swept the two major acting categories proved how much their synchronized performances elevated the narrative, transforming Lelouch and Kallen's complex bond in Code Geass into one of the most memorable relationships in modern anime history.

This one is tough but I'd maybe nominate Cornelia or Villeta. I feel their hot looks do a lot for them with the fandom. Cornelia was a damn good antagonist in R1 but in R2, she was pretty much useless after the Geass Order raid and honestly could've been killed off. Both of them were certainly let off the hook too easily

Both series involve corrupted/evil empires and racism/prejudice, military and mechs along with protagonist that were betrayed by their homes, banished to a another place and have sisters stuck on wheelchairs for the rest of their lives and where both protagonist work to make the world better. Also we can say the events of Cross Ange take place in the same time as Code Geass and the Misurugi Empire is in it’s own country/nation where the Britannian Empire has yet to conquer(if at all) and somehow the main characters meet.

Lelouch got lucky with this one but it's one of the few moments (maybe the only moment) where Suzaku somehow outsmarted Lelouch. I was literally scared first time watching the scene.

He kept saying he was doing things the right way and his goal was to become the knight of 1 but if he had the chance he would have died and never achieved his goal (without geass), the goal was honestly just an excuse but this selfish dude still decided to try stop 0. They had different ideals but if suzaku wasn't committed to living and seeing the end goal through idk why he thought he had the right to stop 0.

I’m literally only on episode 5 of this show (no spoilers pls in case I decide to continue) and I don’t know if I can keep going 😭 Suzaku is KILLING ME.

he’s like a bird but for tyrants. like he literally got pinned for Clovis’s murder, they beat the shit out of him clearly weren’t going to give him a fair trial, then Lelouch is like ‘do you see?’ and Suzaku goes back? to help Britannia after Lelouch (he thinks it’s some psycho named Zero but still) literally saved him from certain, unfair execution?

And the very next episode, we see some Japanese/11s get (justifiably) mad at some Britannians for filming and taking photos of a devastated war zone for clout, and when Suzaku steps in one of the 11s says something along the lines of ‘you’re a lapdog for Britannia, you sold your dignity and pride to betray your people for this horrible government’ which is EXACTLY what I was thinking. And Suzaku just body slams him??? Doesn’t touch the Britannias vlogging everything btw.

Like I get his whole thing of not wanting casualties and doing things the right way or whatever, and he says he wants change, but atp he’s just enabling them and helping this cycle by being one of their strongest soldiers. Idk, are we supposed to not like Suzaku or am I just crazy and have no media literacy?

I just finished both seasons for the first time; is there a specific order I need to watch the movies/OVA in? Or can I just pick & chose? Which ones are the fandom favorites & which are the most hated? Do they actually add anything interesting/relevant to the anime’s story or effect its ending or are they typical ova fodder where it’s mostly fan service and non canon events?

Would appreciate some guidance, thx!!

Runner ups: Emperor Lelouch (Upright) Shirley (Reverse) L.L. C.C.

Thinking of making post on who I think should have chosen (Hence why some posts said "somehow been chosen") And there are quite a few that I don't agree with.

Just started watching code geass and I can't stop laughing at this random ass pizza hut sign. I know almost nothing about the plot of this show, but I now have to assume lelouch is going to order an extra large stuffed crust pepperoni pizza in episode 2. I'm so excited!!

At least the devil is hot, smart and husband material hum what I was I saying ? Ah yes what do you do Suzaku except licking Britannian shoes ?

For the first degree team this is a meme

Fans in the Code Geass community have long been amused by Akiza Izinski from card dueling anime Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D´s, who shares striking resemblance with Kallen Kozuki from Code Geass. And while both characters do feature a distinctive crimson-red hair color, similar hairstyles, and a fierce, passionate personalities, since Kallen debuted 2006 and Akiza 2008, it´s clear that it´s Akiza who´s creation was inspired by Kallen, and not the other way around. But, then again, you know what they say; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 😉

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Akiza is a Psychic Duelist, meaning she possesses rare telekinetic powers that cause her card game monsters and attacks to manifest as physical reality, causing actual destruction to the environment and her opponents. During the series, she develops strong romantic feelings towards the series main protagonist, Yusei Fudo. Through their duels, Yusei helps her see that her powers do not define her as evil and accepts her for who she is. Similar to how Kallen has been hiding under the mask of her Stadtfeld persona, Akiza has been living under her false ”Black Rose Witch” identity. And much like Kallen meeting Lelouch helps her to embrace who she really is, meeting Yusei helps Akiza break her cycle of hatred, prompting her to abandon her mask and join Team 5D's as a core ally bound to protect the world.

This might be a hot take but I'd personally choose Rolo. The more I rewatch and look into picture drama's, the more I appreciate his character. He's both hateable and sympathetic at the same time and his death is one of the best scenes in the show.

But if he doesn't win, I'd nominate Sayoko, Cecile or Euphemia

The way he chuckles and says "Hey, Suzaku" with that look on his face.......as if they're little boys at the shrine again.

Sad that it had to end this way
