    Storyline

    Edit
    The Empire of Britannia has invaded Japan using giant robot weapons called Knightmare Frames. Japan is now referred to as Area 11, and its people the 11's. A Britannian who was living in Japan at the time, Lelouch, vowed to his Japanese friend Suzaku that he'd destroy Britannia. Years later, Lelouch is in high school, but regularly skips out of school to go play chess and gamble on himself. One day, he stumbles on terrorists 11's who've stolen a military secret and is caught by a member of the Britannian task force sent after them, who is Suzaku. As the rest of the squad arrives, Suzaku is shot for disobeying orders, while the military secret, a young immortal witch, gives Lelouch the power of Geass, which makes anyone obey any order. While Suzaku is secretly made the pilot of Britannia's brand new prototype Knightmare, Lancelot, Lelouch becomes the masked Zero to lead the rebellion to destroy Britannia once and for all. —Anonymous

    • Quotes

      Charles: The former 17th heir to the Imperial Throne, Lelouch vi Britannia. It's been a long time, hasn't it, my errant son?

      Lelouch: [struggles to lift his head] How dare you...!

      Suzaku: [forces Lelouch's head down] You won't use your Geass.

      [to Charles]

      Suzaku: Your Majesty, I have a request. Please, sire, allow me to join the Knights of the Round, the twelve strongest knights of the Britannian Empire.

      Charles: As a reward for capturing Zero, is that it?

      Lelouch: You...

      Suzaku: I told you before, Lelouch, that I was going to change this world from the inside.

      Lelouch: Even if it means selling out your friends?

      Suzaku: That's right.

      Charles: Very well. I like the answer you just gave him. Now then, as a Knight of the Round I order you: cover up Zero's left eye.

      Suzaku: Yes, Your Majesty.

      [covers Lelouch's left eye and lifts his head up by the hair]

      Charles: My unworthy son, who raised the banner of rebellion although he was a prince. Still, there's another way we can make use of him.

      Lelouch: [gasps] What?

      Charles: [Geass appears in both his eyes] I will rewrite your memory, about being Zero, about the death of your mother, about the very existence of Nunnally.

      Lelouch: No... Geass...

      Charles: You'll remember none of it. You'll just be insignificant.

      Lelouch: [struggling against Suzaku] No, stop! You're stealing what's most precious to me again! First my mother, and now you're taking Nunnally!

      Charles: Charles zi Britannia engraves into you...

      Lelouch: Stop it!

      Charles: False memories of a false life.

      Lelouch: [screams in anguish]

    If it is wrong to be powerless,does having power make you right??
    First thing i would like to ask? y the hell r there only 17 reviews in IMDb for this awesome show?!while things like pokemon and twilight get thousands of reviews!

    I only had to watch the first episode to discover that i am going to be spending the rest of my free time watching this. Yes...this show is very addictive. At the end of every episode there is a twist or something to look forward to the next episode.The story and writing is simply top notch

    The best part of this anime is the moral decisions the protagonists makes right or wrong ..good or evil ??its all in the persons perspective.Another best part of this show is the music which just fits so well with the superb dialogues.English voice acting was very very good.

    The strategies employed in this show remind me of death note but this show is different in its own kind.Not just the brilliant story with twists , even the emotions that get evoked in you in some episodes is just so good..

    Enough said..just go and watch this awesome show of 50 episodes to get your mind blown and heart fulfilled...
