Code Geass is listed in the top 10 most popular Anime to ever be made, which is very impressive since there are literally thousands of Anime series on the market today. Code Geass can attribute its success to its very dark themed reveng plot, which sees the main character, Lelouch vi Britannia, starting a rebellion against the Holy Britannian Empire, in attempt to get revenge against his father for crippling and blinding his little sister, murdering his mother, and exiling them from their own country.
That isn't all there is to Code Geass, though. Code Geass is a very popular Anime amongst guys due to it's use of Mecha units (similar to giant robots that people pilot), and high amount of action used throughout the series. The series also follows 2 (possibly 3? if you could C2) romance subplots, one being his friend Shirley, who goes to school with Lelouch, and the other being one of Lelouch's own rebels, Kallen.
Lelouch, who is only in his teens, and currently attending school in Japan (after being exiled by his father), is disgusted after seeing Britannians slaughtering innocent Japanese (referred to as "Eleven's"), and comes across a strange woman named C2 who asks if he wants the power to change the world - to which Lelouch agrees to, and ends up gaining the Power of the King: Geass, which is a special power, with differing effects for each person who gets it. Lelouch happens to get the power of command, to command a person to do anything he wants, only once.
Lelouch uses this power to create the persona: Zero, which he uses to combat Britannia along with any and all other nations and forces that stand in his way, including, but not limited to, China, Europe, and even Japan itself.
The rebellious group Lelouch makes up is called The Black Knights. They fight for justice originally, trying to free the people of Japan who've been enslaved by Britannia, but eventually realizing that's pointless, and going after the entire world.
The has achieved massive popularity throughout the world, even in countries where Anime isn't incredibly popular - which is a sign of just how great the series really is. I can also say for a fact, that Code Geass, dubbed in English, has a fantastic voice cast, that adds immense emotion to every single scene, sad, funny, and epic alike.
The Anime is recommended for anyone who is interested in a dark Anime with a strong plot, not the usual Anime that are released every other day. Code Geass is one of a kind, and will always remain one of the best Anime creations of all time.
