Code Geass: Dakkan no Rozé

After the supposed death of its 99th emperor, the Holy Britannian Empire broke up, and the areas it controlled finally regained their independence. While most joined the United Federation of Nations, a group aiming to create everlasting peace, remnants of the oppressive empire continue to exist. One such faction, Neo-Britannia, has taken over Japan's Hokkaido island after killing its governor, Juugo Sumeragi.

The Seven Shining Stars, a resistance group in Hokkaido, finds itself at an impasse as it struggles to find a way to defeat the Neo-Britannian Empire. As a last resort, it enlists the aid of the Nameless Mercenaries: brothers Rozé, a genius strategist; and Ash, an exceptional Knightmare pilot. Though Rozé and Ash are Britannian, they have made a name for themselves by protecting the Japanese and killing the empire's officials. With their help, the resistance may finally be able to recapture its territory and prevent another reign of terror.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

It’s good.

Just saw episodes 1-3 in the theater in Japan.
Went in expecting another Akito or Resurrection or a quick cash grab, but this is something else.

Story:
Set some years after Resurrection. Hokkaido has been occupied by Neo Britannia. Two Britannian brothers, Ash and Roze, must recapture a girl named Sakuya who is the daughter of Hokkaido’s previous leader. Now that’s all I will tell you because literally everything else is a spoiler.

Characters:
I don’t want to say anything because even mentioning things about the main characters is a spoiler.
...
Animation:
I’d say it’s pretty good. Maybe not as good as SEED FREEDOM but that’s a movie and this is a theatrical 4 part series/ONA so it’s not fair to compare the two.

Music:
Good.

Overall:
Definitely watch this. You don’t need to have watched Resurrection to understand this so long as you have a basic understanding of the world of Code Geass.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Many years after the main series, we have new heroes and abilities with a princess disguised as a boy and a "brother" who kick butt and take names.

As someone who loved the original series and still keeps it in the top-tier series on my ever-growing list of animes, I do not wish to compare it to it. Why? Because it will fall short.

The art in the series is fine. It is on par with the original series, and I enjoy the art style for all of the characters.
The area that I feel has yet to excite me to watch every new release is the ... storyline.

Twins separated from battle, a princess must disguise herself and use her ability to take down the evil empire that is once again suppressing Japan and holding her sister hostage. The overall depth of the story is not too deep. The mastermind strategy seems to lack the layers of complexity that you expect to really get you on the edge of your seat.

While this may pick up in the second half of the season, for now, this is one of those. If I have 30 minutes of free time, why not watch an episode rating? If you watched the original series and want a new story, it's a good watch. If you never watched the series and are looking at this objectively, it's an alright anime, but there are far better shows airing right now.

6/10

Not Recommended

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

After watching all the episodes up to this point, I am left wondering what the hell I'm watching. I am a huge fan of the original Code Geass series and this show has been an extremely poor addition to the franchise. The main character is not particularly interesting and the plot device which serves as the main focus of the show thus far has been poorly setup and I have little investment and care for it thus far. The main character is no match for Lelouch in any regard and I'm not sure who this show is for as it doesn't seem to carry the ... essential elements of what made Code Geass great, even if it is sloppily incorporating previous characters within the story line.
