Its appearance also marked a new breed of humans: Contractors. Humans who have lost their emotions and gained psychic powers, their existence is kept secret by the government. Hei is a powerful Contractor with a dark past and many secrets. He works for a mysterious organization called the "Syndicate". He works with another Contractor, a Doll, and a regular human, undertaking some rather questionable missions. What is the Syndicate and what is Hei's real motivation? The first time I started watching this series was on the computer when I was really tired. I thought it was kind of interesting, but when I stopped watching, I forgot to go back and finish it. A few years later I found it had been released on DVD, so I thought it was time to check it out again. I was completely blown away. I was hooked from the first episode and every episode after. Every time I had to stop watching it to go to bed, I would be disappointed. I...

Picture quality is very nice and the animation is way above average. Small effects like smoke add to the overall impact. Subplots usually last two episodes. If you like story lines like Ghost In The Shell then this is your cup of tea. |
CODE GEASS LELOUCH OF REBELLION P3 - DVD Movie
| 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: EXCELLENT!!!!, By This review is from: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Part 3 (DVD) "CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion" has been a gripping and thrilling series since the start of episode 1. An anime series that has a good amount of drama and action and the pace never slows down, things continue to escalate with each episode and manages to captivate you by its well-written storyline and beautiful animation. With the release of this "Part III" box set containing volumes 5 and 6, this is the final box set for the first season. The series revolves around Lelouch Lamperouge, one of the children of the Britannian Emperor. As a child, Lelouch has harbored resentment towards his Britannian roots since the death and murder of his mother, Marianne vi Britannia. When he was younger, he spoke out against his father and by doing so, he and his sister Nunally (who was blinded and crippled during the murder of her mother) have lived with the Ashford family, hiding their Britannian ancestry. But for Lelouch, he has always wanted to take...

I had heard such great things about the series, and I thought I would give it a try. The risk, as it turned out, was aboslutely worth the cost, as I became eneveloped in an incredible world that combined science fiction, fantasy, and political drama in ways I had never seen before. Now here I am at the last volume, and I still want so more. Frst, in regards to the show itself, the last two discs do not disappoint. The show is always driven by its characters, whether they are in the thick of battle or attending school. This is important, as too many works these days - be they anime or film, from any nation - tend to forget how important the characters are, and instead forcus on plots twists and cool visuals. Code Geass delivers these as well, but never loses sight of the people. People who have not watched to the end yet should know that the...
