Code Geass is a great anime to watch if you’re interested in a political thriller.
A political critique as much as a dramatic slasher, the anime follows exiled prince Lelouch vi Britannia as he forms his own army to fight against the Britannia kingdom after receiving magical powers from a strange woman.
The extent to which Lelouch vi Britannia’s acts are magnified makes you realize how quickly and thoroughly power can corrupt, and how quickly you may stop seeing people as individuals and start seeing them only as impediments to your path to dominance.
It’s an anime that’s meant to make its viewers think and question, to pose moral dilemmas to them just as much as they are to characters like Lelouch and his followers.
After two seasons of following Vi Britannia, the franchise takes a sharp left turn back to Lelouch for a not-sequel-but-retelling of the original series. Akito Hyuga takes over in the namesake spin-off series.
