Like other mecha anime before it (the Gundam series, in particular), Code Geass explores the macro effects of rampant militarism and colonization. Lelouch, who holds a personal grudge against Britannia, quickly harnesses his newfound power and takes up arms against the Empire as the masked vigilante Zero. Lelouch is able to escape with his life thanks to a mysterious girl named C.C., who grants him Geass, a power which allows him to bend others to his will with a simple stare into their eyes. The story in earnest starts in 2017 with Britannian student Lelouch Lamperouge, who gets caught in the crossfire between Britannia and Area 11 armed forces. Wit StudioĬode Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006–2008)Ī hit upon its premiere in 2006, the giant-robot epic Code Geass begins in the year 2010, with Japan-renamed Area 11-seeking its independence after being colonized by the Holy Britannian Empire, the world's dominant superpower. Though it’s cute and funny, it becomes a multi-layered, all-too-relatable mind fuck if you stop and think about it for too long. This focus on accessibility and millennial appeal is exactly what makes Aggretsuko work. Despite her daily struggles, Retsuko clings to the security provided by her lame, but stable, job. When her patience reaches its limit, Retsuko resorts to her preferred form of emotional release: death metal karaoke. Five years later, her corporate enthusiasm has been worn down by a grinding combination of a tiny apartment, a crowded commute, a real murderer’s row of co-workers (a gossiping hippo, an appearance-obsessed deer, a sociopathic fennec fox), and a chauvinist hog (literally, he is a pig) of a boss. When Retsuko, a red panda fresh out of university, finds an office accounting job, she’s brimming with optimism. Based on one of the many characters by Sanrio, a Japanese company known for its cute merch centered around personality-driven animal cartoon characters (Hello Kitty, anyone?), Aggretsuko is basically branded content, but it’s good branded content.
