Code Geass: Lelouch Lamperouge

Today, I will be talking about the successful Code Geass series and their protagonist, Lelouch Lamperouge/Lelouch vi Britannia. Code Geass is a famous anime and manga series, followed up by games, dramas and several light novels. The full name of the anime is actually Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (in Japanese, コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ Kōdo Giasu: Hangyaku no Rurūshu), but to cut it short, it becomes Code Geass. This anime has 25 main episodes (with OVAs), and when it comes to genres, it focuses on Action, Drama, Sci-Fi & Mecha. It aired from October 6th 2006 to July 29th 2007, so it is a fairly old anime.

"In the year 2010, the Holy Empire of Britannia is establishing itself as a dominant military nation, starting with the conquest of Japan. Renamed to Area 11 after its swift defeat, Japan has seen significant resistance against these tyrants in an attempt to regain independence.

Lelouch Lamperouge, exiled prince of Britannia, unfortunately finds himself caught in a crossfire between the two nations' armed forces. He is able to escape, however, thanks to the timely appearance of a mysterious girl named C.C., who bestows upon him Geass, the "Power of Kings." Realizing the vast potential of his newfound "power of absolute obedience," Lelouch embarks upon a perilous journey as the masked vigilante known as Zero, leading a merciless onslaught against Britannia in order to get revenge once and for all."

Very well, onto one of their protagonists; Lelouch vi Britannia. He has many nicknames and aliases. After he was exiled, however, he started using the alias Lelouch Lamperouge. 

Lelouch is a 17-18 year old handsome young man, with black hair and violet eyes. Lelouch is somewhat scrawny, having little muscle, and like most characters in the series, is rather thin. Lelouch is a highly intelligent individual who is also calm, sophisticated, and arrogant due to his aristocratic upbringing. While at school, Lelouch conducts himself as a sociable, likeable, and often easygoing student. However, this is really a mask to hide his true nature. Lelouch is known for having a very stoic personality. He never cared about schoolwork, seeing the entire thing as trivial, even though his high intelligence would make it easy for him. At one point, Shirley, his fellow classmate, stated that if Lelouch applied himself in school, he could get high grades. He enjoys seeking out challenges, often playing chess against nobility. In general, Lelouch takes most day-to-day affairs with open disinterest, often not even noticing the affection of others, especially Shirley. He has a strong dislike for nobles, viewing them as tepid and "overprivileged parasites".I like Lelouch and his character development, going from protagonist to antagonist. Because of his "transformation", I usually actually call him as a joke Lelouch the Douche, haha. Anyhow, again, I really like him, and the appearances of the characters in the anime is also pretty cool. You can tell the anime is rather old but old does not mean bad, definitely not! So, if you are into this type of anime, check it out, hmm?
