Where it all began...

Anime/Genre Type: Drama, Mecha, Military, Science Fiction, Supernatural
First Airred: October 5, 2006
Description: Hot off the anime press, although rumors before that said that this was a CLAMP anime, it is actually a Sunrise anime production. However, CLAMP was responsible for the character designs in the anime, thus the reason for its resemblence to the art done in Tsubasa Chronicle and XxXHolic. Code Geass begins in Japan where in 2010, the Britannia Empire invaded and took over the country. As a result Japan and its people lost their name, freedom and rights. Their new name Elevens living in the conquered territory of Area 11. During this time we find 2 boys, one who vows that he will destroy Britannia one day.
About 7 years later we meet Lelouch, a seemingly normal student (who is also an amazing chess player) who comes across 2 'terrorists' and a mysterious 'poison gas' when he was just about to look inside a Britannian soldier stops him, telling him that there is a poisonous gas in it. Lelouch question why Britannia would make such a thing, and then comes back with his line that he will destroy Britannia. Upon hearing this, the soldier reveals himself to be Suzaku, Lelouch's childhood friend. At the same time, the container with the 'poisonous gas' opens, what is actually inside was not a gas, but a girl. Who (as we find out) makes a contract with Lelouch in exchange, she would give a power, the power of the 'king.' Lelouch accepts, and....that's where it all begins^^
