CODE GEASS LELOUCH OF REBELLION V1 - DVD Movie
Amazon.com
The mecha adventure Code Geass Lelouch of Rebellion (2006) takes place in the year 2017 of an alternate future--seven years after the Holy Empire of Brittania conquered Japan. Lelouch Lamperouge, a Brittanic prince who's been living secretely in Japan, stumbles into a rebel plot to steal a top-secret weapon. Rather than the poison gas they expected, the weapon is girl who transfers the Power of Geass, the ability to control the minds of others, to Lelouch. As other members of the Imperial Family murdered his mother, Lelouch joins the Japanese rebels, some of whom are students from his high school. Adopting the pseudonym of Zero, he dresses up in a cape and mask that look like an Erté theater costume to confront his friend Suzaku, who pilots the new Brittanic super-mecha. Obvious political references abound in Code Geass: the Brittanic Empire is the world's only superpower and its leaders battle against terrorism. Brittanic officers refer to the Japanese as "monkeys," a common slur during WW II. The needlessly convoluted plot gives Code Geass the feel ofan elaborate Gundam adventure enacted by the cast of X. (Rated 13 and older: violence, nudity, risqué humor, racial slurs) --Charles Solomon

Their latest subjugation: Japan, now called Sector 11. It's an interesting albeit unlikely idea for alternate-world scifi, and it serves as the basis for "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion." And the first few episodes of this intricate anime series take us right into the action, with only a prologue of the Britannian Empire's history as a buildup. And it doesn't take long for the capable anti-hero to get stuff moving. Schoolboy Lelouch Lamperouge tries to help out when a convoy crashes near his motorcycle -- but then HE gets hijacked instead. As the callous Britannian military and the lethal Knightmares (hello, big mecha!) close in, Lelouch learns that he has inadvertently fallen in with a faction of Japanese freedom fighters. And he also finds that the convoy's cargo is not poison gas as the rebels thought -- but a strange...
