A Sign of Affection stands as one of the many manga and anime that deal with disabilities in a beautiful manner. There are various works within the industry that depict disabilities in the most natural and mesmerizing manner, just as at times disorders and mental health issues do. One of the biggest examples where both those get combined is A Silent Voice.

Banana Fish, Perfect Blue, and Neon Genesis Evangelion deal perfectly with mental health issues. While works like Violet Evergarden take it upon themselves to bring forth autism. Your Lie in April and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion dive into disabilities. The representation in each of these requires a great deal of research and for the romance anime, Suu Morishita left no stone unturned.

In the 2000s, Studio Bones twice transmuted Hiromu Arakawa's manga "Fullmetal Alchemist" into anime. The second series, "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood," is more faithful to the source material (it helps when you have the whole story to adapt). That said, it makes changes too. Much more subtle changes than the 2003 "Fullmetal Alchemist" series, but changes nonetheless, from creating new villains to condensing the story. In particular, "Brotherhood" crams volume 15 of the manga — one of its most impactful arcs — into episode 30: "The Ishvalan War of Extermination."
"Fullmetal Alchemist" is set in a steampunk version of 1900s Europe where alchemy is a real science. The main setting is Amestris, an expansive imperial state at war on all sides and ruled by a military dictatorship from within. Alchemists can become State Alchemists ("dogs of the military") to receive grant funding in exchange for answering a call to arms when requested.

Calling Code Geass a wildly entertaining series would be an understatement. The protagonist is a master strategist and the overall character development is simply marvelous. While the ending is considered controversial by some, it still does not take away from the anime’s popularity.
The series is co-created by Goro Taniguchi and Ichirou Okouchi and follows an exiled prince who obtains the power of absolute obedience. From here, the series delves into rebellion and mecha battles.

In an interview, Ichirou Okouchi revealed that creating Code Geass was harder than it seemed. According to the screenwriter, the production team had to work extremely hard on the project, and several scenes had to be cut down.
Well a lot of cuts in the story had to be made, and the production team had to work really hard.

Code Geass was a series that was crafted with a vision no one saw coming. A character as smart as Lelouch choosing to take on the Britannian army while still being a high-schooler seems more like a fever dream. However, for someone with his wit, it was more than possible. He had the mind to execute the most overly thought-out missions that would put Aizen’s plans to shame.

In only two seasons, the series managed to show us viewers what it is like to see someone as young as Lelouch grow and fall. To strive for a rule of absolute freedom to becoming what he hates the most, the series perfectly summed up the line ‘You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.’

Every once in a while, an anime or manga series decides to change the norms of the Shonen genre and introduce a protagonist who defies all the stereotypes. But none of them have been able to reach the level of Light Yagami from Death Note. He may be considered by many as an anti-hero, but still, he managed to make a large impact on the anime community.

The most important aspect that made him different from others was his manipulative powers. He was able to hide his identity as Kira for the longest time by manipulating other characters and events in his favor. As it was a unique concept, fans loved it a lot and hoped for more anime series and their protagonists to be developed like this.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture.
When I first saw the name of Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture’s finale, I had Twilight flashbacks. Thankfully, it was not that. Episode 12, Breaking Dawn, is far from perfect. The series has the continuous flow of rushing things in the little time it has to execute a rather gripping story. When it can find the grounds to move ahead, it instead resorts to the only ways again and again.

While the series in itself was okay as a whole, it was the individual episodes that became a big problem. They cannot stand their ground on their own. In the twelve episodes that came out, some digressed into stories that mattered little, others brought about characters that helped no one to grow.

There was something about the original Code Geass that puts this sequel series much, much behind in what it is trying to achieve. Each and every character introduced got at least some form of a story to follow them. They weren’t just flat characters fulfilling their purpose in the plot. You knew about them and you felt for them. When they died, it mattered. When they developed, it mattered.

Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture has absolutely none of that. It is already difficult for me to remember all of their names and it becomes worse when the picture gets painted with no depth added to it. Haruka getting revealed to be General Kuroto’s daughter was meant to serve emotional impact but it was devoid of any of it.

To say that Episode 10 completely botched the pacing and flow of Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture in one episode would be an understatement.

However, it is as if there is a hunt for opportunities to give up on that idea.

The long-awaited series sequel, Code Geass: Rozè of the Recapture, really did have quite a few points that would make this new series a perfect continuation of the loved original.

While the sequel didn’t seem promising to most fans, the unfolding of events in the latest episode hooks the viewers well. However, the extent of Sakuya’s actions including her betrayal and geassing Ash, weren’t the only actions that shattered the last remaining glimmer of hope for him but something else entirely as several fans noted.

A lot of what Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture lacks comes in its unfortunate predictability. While the first episode was as if singing a song whose lyrics were ingrained in your brain, the series very quickly broke away from that pattern. The latest episode seems to step back into it. While it has its own moments, the Neo-Britannian army alongside Norland just seems like an underwhelming group of people who want to wreak havoc.

The ninth episode, Reset, follows the aftermath of the events that had occurred. Many of the rebels had lost their lives and those that were left alive barely had their spirit standing. On the other hand, Sakuya and Ash finally came face to face with each other.

The 2000s was one of the best generations for anime lovers, especially since the Big Three started in that era. Apart from the Big Three were several other anime that had almost everyone become anime lovers. Death Note, Monster, Code Geass, etc., were a few of the short anime whose plot was greatly appreciated worldwide.
But fans would be surprised to know that Code Geass almost had a massive change made in the anime. Lelouch Lamperouge became one of the most iconic characters, yet he would have been robbed of his glorious ending. Code Geass’ director revealed that the pilot was supposed to be different than what was shown in the anime.

Characters in Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture are frequently more complex than they initially appear. Among them, one of the most twisted characters in the series is Christoph Scissorman. However, based on his considerate behavior toward Ash, we may realize that Scissorman may not be the worst character after all.

Ash Phoenix’s name had always been on the nose in Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture. While it could be speculated in the start that it was Sakuya’s geass that would help him rise from the flames, another reason could have been that he was to atone for the sins he had committed in the past, especially of the blood of Sumeragi Jugo in his hands.

Narah’s surprise in the previous episode when Ash mentioned his brother had struck me as confusing because my first thought had been that he never really had a brother and for someone who had known him since his childhood, this made-up person would stand out as a glaring red flag almost immediately. However, in episode 7, Hazy Moon brought a new angle into perspective.

Hajime Isayama wrote his name amongst the greatest mangaka with Attack on Titan. A decade-long journey full of mind-boggling twists took the anime to great heights. A successful spree has helped the anime gain millions of followers. Recently, the entire Attack on Titan fandom was criticized for their egotistical comments. They compared Hajime Isayama with Isaac Newton in a social media post.
Everyone has a favorite anime and would do anything to defend it or highlight the mangaka. Sometimes, a lack of logic in opinions can escalate matters. The same thing happened with the Attack on Titan fandom. Social media users did not find it amusing. They are bashing them for going out of line with the comparison.

Season 1 of Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture is already halfway done and the 6th episode, Lavender, works towards changing the tides and motivations that have kept many characters going for the longest time. The previous episode was perhaps the best of the series so far and while the latest isn’t bad, it isn’t the best either.

With nothing much happens, it is an episode that lets the characters take a breath of fresh air from the constant battles. While it would be accounted for as a filler, the amount of growth it contributes to Rozé. It is a shame that the series isn’t getting as much recognition as it deserves because it is certainly working towards greater potential.

For the last three episodes, Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture has been setting up its own story, wanting to get out of the shadow of Lelouch and the impact he had as such a powerful character. While the previous episode gave an impression that his inclusion was more so a need to milk a successful series further, the latest one takes a step to prove otherwise.

Look Back , an anime movie based on the one-shot manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto ( Chainsaw Man ), took the number one spot both in gross and ticket sales in its second weekend. In the weekend of July 5-7, the movie earned 220 million yen (1.37 million Usd) on 129,900 admissions, according to Kogyo Tsushinsha (only a 2.2 percent drop from its opening weekend ). As reported last week, the film did not match Soreike! Anpanman: Baikinman to Ehon no Lulun in terms of ticket sales last weekend, and only came in second place. However, in its second week of release, the movie surpassed Anpanman in both box office revenue and ticket sales becoming the best-selling movie last weekend in Japan. Look Back has reached 600 million yen (3.73 million Usd) on 360,000 admissions for its cumulative domestic gross. The film began its run in a relatively small number of 129 theaters in Japan and, thanks to the box office success, the...

For years, Code Geass has been considered to be inspired by Star Wars. It is considered to be a series that embodies the soul of Star Wars and all of its extensions. The rebellion in the story along with the resistance, the struggle against the empires, colonialism and more make Code Geass similar to Star Wars in many aspects.
The Lelouch Vs. Suzaku’s struggle reminds fans of Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan. Code Geass does not contain any space battles or journeys across space that Star Wars has popularized. However the main theme of rebellion is properly showcased in the series. Thus, fans often call it a rip-off, but for those of you who do, the creator of Code Geass has a few stern pieces of advice.

A trend that arose in Hollywood during the 2010s was the "legacy sequel," which has led to some not-so great results. A legacy sequel is a sequel made long after the previous film that acknowledges the passage of that time. If old characters/actors return, they'll have aged into a mentor for younger leads who fill the character archetypes of the original film.
In his 2019 New York Times Op-ed, "I Said Marvel Movies Aren't Cinema. Let Me Explain," director Martin Scorsese said the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe "are sequels in name but they are remakes in spirit." So are legacy sequels.
Some of the last decade's legacy sequels include "Terminator: Dark Fate," David Gordon Green's "Halloween" trilogy and subsequent "The Exorcist: Believer," and the one that really kicked off this trend, 2015's "Star Wars: Episode VII -- The Force Awakens." By now, director J.J. Abrams has long...

Naruto suffered from exactly this and is still constantly criticized for it. That is not to say the first episode was a hit and a miss. There was a lot in the episode that could capture an audience’s attention, both old and new. However, it suffered from relying a lot on the older elements of Code Geass to let it stand out on its own.
