It is intrigue and sacrifice, a tale of duality where you never know who to truly root for. It is about war and loss, about survivors and empires feuding against one another in a grand game of chess where lives are disposable and ideologies are useful tools in claiming victory on the battlefield. This is a show about duality and the ends sadly justifying the means. This is what happens when Preacher meets Gundam.

Go watch the show, go into it as blindly as you possibly can and then come back as a dishevelled mess once you’re done, a sleep-wrecked husk of a human being talking about the themes of this series.įor those of you who have seen Code Geass, you know exactly what I’m harping on about. If you’re at all curious, I implore you to close this tab right now and not read another word.

I’m still kicking myself for waiting this long to give it a whirl, but I’m still in awe at what I watched unfold over two weeks as I worked my way through two seasons of the show and its dozens of episodes. I saw it pop up on my Netflix feed one day, and I decided to finally pull the trigger on it as I hopped in utterly blind to what it was all about.īruh, how could I have been so stupid as to wait this long to watch this masterpiece. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion was one show I’d always heard about, but never really endeavoured to actually find out about and watch. It’s also allowing me to finally catch up on series that I missed the first time around, as even in the mid 2000s there was simply too dang much content to ever consume in one lifetime without being incredibly picky. Thanks to streaming services such as CrunchyRoll, Netflix and Amazon Prime, legally watching the stuff is easier than ever before and now allows for massive binges of popular series. Access to anime these days is a fundamental right, much like clean water and education.

We’re also living in a fantastic age for the consumption of anime, compared to years past when hot new episodes of whatever was on the block was downloaded in all of its 360p glory, burnt onto a CD and passed around through various circles. Sprinkle some anime viewing on top of that, and we’ve got ourselves one perfectly happy blogger who can melt into his armchair and enjoy a night of Japan’s finest export with reckless abandon. A hot mug of tea, a comfy couch and a cat by my side are instant ingredients for a recipe of contentment.
